Sonny Bonds

Sonny Bonds is the main character of the three first games in the Police Quest series.

In Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel, Sonny Bonds starts out as a regular patrolman whose duties mostly involve cruising the city looking for drunk drivers, people breaking the speed limit and having coffee breaks with his collegue Steve at Carol's Caffeine Castle.
However, things change when a new major dealer, going by the nickname "The Death Angel", arrives in town and causes an increase in the flow of heroin to the street. After Bonds successfully arrests one "Marvin Hoffman" (who later turns out to be Jason Taselli, a big player in the underworld), Bonds' application to join the Narcotics Department is approved, and he is transferred to another part of the building. His investigation into the Death Angel leads to the Hotel Delphoria, and together with the rest of the department, Bonds undertakes a plan to infiltrate the criminal environment in the hotel. Bonds, along with his childhood friend "Sweet Cheeks" Marie Wilkins, goes undercover, and gets in at Delphoria. Once there, Bonds manages to gamble his way into the back room, where he discovers that one of the other gamblers, Jesse Bains, is indeed the Death Angel.
Bains invites Bonds to his room, but Bonds secretly manages to call for backup before entering. Once inside, Bains turns and attempts to shoot Bonds, but is distracted by the arriving backup, which enables Sonny Bonds to successfully shoot and wound the Death Angel.

Police Quest 2: The Vengeance primarily deals with a plot of Jesse Bains escaping prison, and kidnapping Marie - who has become Sonny Bonds' girlfriend. Ultimately, Bonds succeeds in killing Bains in his hideout in the sewers of Lytton.

In Police Quest 3: The Kindred, Bonds has been promoted to sergeant, and has married Marie. But a drug cartel is moving in on Lytton, and Bonds has to find a way to stop them, when Marie suddenly gets stabbed, leaving Bonds with a multitude of problems to solve.

It is unknown what happened to Bonds after Police Quest 3, but he makes a cameo appearance in Police Quest: SWAT 2 as a SWAT officer, as well as in SWAT 4, where he is the instructor featured in the tutorial.

Trivia

Towards the end of Police Quest 1, Bonds bleaches his hair in order to go undercover at Hotel Delphoria. This makes Sonny Bonds appear light-haired in Police Quest 2, although he's black-haired again in Police Quest 3.
