Jonathan created missing posters for Will and made photocopies that he placed all over town. That night, Will mysteriously disappeared, and Jonathan blamed himself, as he believed that he could stay at home with him. On November 6, Jonathan decided to cover Eric's shift so that he and his family could get the extra cash. It's assumed they did so due to the Byers' family is known in the town, and because they considered Jonathan an outcast at the school. He also attended Hawkins High School and was often bullied by Steve Harrington, and his friends, Tommy H.

He also appears to be a fan of horror films, as he as a poster of The Evil Dead, and presumably a fan of David Bowie and the French poet, Arthur Rimbaud (as he had a poster of the two together).Īround 1983, Jonathan was working to help his mother get more cash in for the family. Besides, Jonathan had a love for photography and music, and created a mixtape for Will, with a Clash Single being one of his favorites. Lonnie also knows that his family hates him, and retaliates by spiting them, and not maintaining a relationship with them.Īccording to his mother, Jonathan wanted to go to New York University since he was six years old. Also, there is a possibility that Lonnie despites Jonathan, and sees him as weak when he cried upon killing a rabbit. Jonathan appears to have a strong dislike for his father, who would often bully Will and used profanity to describe him. When it started to rain, the brothers continued, and the two got sick because of it. Jonathan states that when Lonnie left, he and Will stayed up the whole night building Castle Byers, and created it the way Will drew it. Jonathan states that his parents loved each other once, but he wasn't around for it (hinting that their marriage had fallen apart around the time of his birth).Įventually, Lonnie left the family, leading to Jonathan to become a role model for his younger brother. In his youth, Jonathan would go hunting with his father, but when he was forced to kill a rabbit, he cried for a whole week. Jonathan was born in 1967 to Lonnie and Joyce Byers and is the older brother to Will Byers. He is portrayed by Charlie Heaton, who also played Cannonball in The New Mutants. After the Flayers' defeat in the Starcourt mall, the Byers moved out of Hawkins to California to stay safe from the Upside Down. In the third season, Jonathan and Nancy become interns at the Hawkins Post, and assisted their allies in dealing with the Mind Flayer's attempt to destroy their world.

In the second season, Jonathan helps Nancy expose Hawkins National Laboratory, and helps his family and friends free Will from the Mind Flayer's influence. Jonathan succeeds in finding his brother with the help of his mother, Nancy Wheeler, Will's friends, Jim Hopper, Eleven. Jonathan is the son of Joyce Byers, and the brother of Will Byers, who goes missing in Hawkins, Indiana. Jonathan Byers is one of the main characters of the Stranger Things franchise. And there is nothing in the world, okay, absolutely nothing, that will ever change that. I don't want you to forget that I'm here.

When you capture the right moment, it says more. Sometimes, people don't really say what they're really thinking.
