A Lunar Empire officer from Aggar, one of the Provincial Army’s Field Commanders. After an early career in Aggar, which included fighting the local Telmori, King Rascius of Aggar put him forward for a post in the Provincial Army. He earned a reputation for decisive and aggressive military action during the Lunar invasion of Sartar, such as when he led a charge of the Drenthi Grims at the Battle of Caroman Pass, or made a heroic assault into the East Pocket during the battle of Boldhome. Jomes earned a reputation for leading from the front, fighting alongside his men, and taking personal risks. The decisive charge, the “Jomes Dash,” became his trademark. He also earned a reputation for flamboyance with showy personal touches to his uniform such as his deerskin jacket or red scarf, frequently copied by his men.
Jomes rose to fame when Governor Euglyptus gave him command of the Lunar forces engaged in the Wolf Hunt, the campaign against the Telmori in the Wolf Hills, following the destruction of the Maboder. Jomes showed considerable flexibility combining locally raised volunteers with Lunar units into an effective fighting force. Jomes’ campaign was highly successful. He captured two of the Helkos Brothers as hostages, and executed one of them when the Telmori broke their word. He slew the beast brother of Kostajor Wolf-Champion, king of the Telmori and forced the Telmori to negotiate peace.
He received the old Maboder lands in reward from the Lunar Governor for his actions. He also earned the respect and co-operation of Telmori fighters among the tribes of the Jonstown Confederation such as Queen Ivartha the Skinner.
After that, the local people began calling Jomes “Wulf.”
