'''Jerome Winson''' was the Founder and first [[Khan]] of [[Clan Wolf]], who went on to become the second [[ilKhan]] of the [[Clans]]. The embodiment of the wolf, Jerome Winson was a bold and intelligent warrior of thoughtful nature who was equally capable of decisive action if demanded by the situation, and would provide stability to the Clans after the death of ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky. He would eventually die on his own terms later during the [[Golden Century]].

Not long after the [[Pentagon Worlds]] had been reconquered, the [[Not-Named Clan]] was Annihilated for Treason against the [[Clans]], by order of the Grand Council in October of [[2823]].  Much has been written about this incident, though most actual records of the time were destroyed.  Suffice to say, Khan Jerome Winson took the losses sustained during this conflict most bitterly.  After the [[Trial of Annihilation]], the Wolf Khan reportedly challenged the Khan of each Clan that supported the Not-Named in the [[Grand Council]] to a [[Trial of Grievance]], killing several of his opponents, such as [[Clan Nova Cat]] Khan [[Sandra Rosse]].<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 108: "Death and Rebirth"</ref>

Jerome Winson would be elected ilKhan in place of his fallen friend, Nicholas Kerensky. His steady hand would guide the Clans into the [[Golden Century]], though he would remain active in his own Clan as well.  He commissioned a series of new [[combat vehicle]] designs, primarily for use in second-line units, in [[2842]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 32</ref>

* Despite her prominent role and status, Nicolas Kerensky's wife and Jerome Winson's purported sister "Jennifer Winson" remains enigmatic; omniscient novels have all but established that this was just an assumed identity used as a cover, and not her real name. See [[Jennifer Winson]] article for details. There is no evidence beyond Clan historical records that Jerome Winson even had a sister.

* Similarly, the true events surrounding the Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan were subsequently covered up and whitewashed with forged historical accounts. In particular, Jerome Winson's reported Trials of Grievance against other Khans following the Annihilation seem odd given the true events, but their actual background remains unknown (though it was confirmed through omniscient sources that they did indeed happen).
