[edit] Brief character history

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jonathan was responsible for shooting Ryan, poisoning Greenlee and murdering Edmund Grey. An unhinged Jonathan kidnapped Kendall, Greenlee and Lily Montgomery, all in a twisted attempt to "save" Ryan. Ryan discovered his brother's guilt and tracked the women and Jonathan to the cave where he was keeping them captive. There, Ryan learned that Jonathan had actually killed Braden and framed him for the crimes. Jonathan was going to kill Greenlee, so Ryan was forced to shoot his brother to save his wife. The women escaped, but Jonathan triggered a bomb in the cave, burying him under a pile of rubble. Ryan was forced to deal with the guilt associated with killing his own brother. He spiraled into a depression, convinced that he was as tainted as his two brothers. In order to protect Greenlee from what Ryan saw as a doomed life with him, he faked his own death. During this time, Ryan not only found his long-lost sister, Erin Lavery, but discovered that she had found Johnathan and nursed him back to health. After having Johnathan admitted to a hospital, Ryan and Erin were shocked to learn that their brother had a malignant brain tumor in his head, which along with mis-prescribed anti-psychotic drugs, were deemed responsible for his all of his actions since childhood. The tumor was removed, reducing Johnathan's mental state to that of a child, but a recent seizure has restored his adult faculties to him.
