Jon Wintersmith

"To use a human term, Jon was an asshole." K-shal-ta

Introduced in the 2. Chapter Damage Control as the Terran Ambassador to the Federation.

Former Terran Marine Raider.

Still wears his military Medals, even on his Diplomatic Uniform. Most likely in his never ending quest to piss of the Federation, since most, if not all where awarded for his actions during the Terran-Federation War. Most prominently is a stylized silver human skull and crossed femurs on a notched black obsidian background, each notch denoting ten kills. It has a lot of notches. Federation Brain Wave Scanner are useless against him (Must likely due to Grandma's Brownies).

Damage Control
Ambassador Wintersmith is watching footage from the Z’uush Civil War and criticizing the performance of the Z’uush and Federation forces. The moment nuclear strikes are shown, he starts eating Brownies (Most likely Hash-Brownies to prepare for the incoming shit-storm).

His Kaleshi secretary Toby to his Terran Intelligence contact Helen. Helen informs him, that the Terran weapons used in the conflict where not supplied by the Terran Intelligence and the most likely candidate is the pirate Sheila Donovan. Due to missing prove there is no arrest-warrant, only a ‘wanted for questioning concerning matters of Republic security category 1’. But she has been dodging this of a while already. A hit-order is considered, and promptly discarded.

They get interrupted by Federation Councilor K-shal-ta, who demands answers concerning the weapons used in the   Z’uush Civil War and threatens war against the  Terran Republic. Jon Wintersmith informs him, that the weapons used are most likely the surplus form the last Terran-Federation war, that the Terran Republic takes the use of Terran manufactured tactical nuclear weaponry seriously and that he, and a lot of other Terran s, is all for a continuation of the last war.

Councilor K-shal-ta leaves the embassy.

Chapter 3: Precious Cargo
Jon Wintersmith tries to get the two Humans into custody, but Federation Councilor K-shal-ta stops the attempt. He later informs Jon Wintersmith, that all 4 are going to be transferred to the "The Nigerian detention facility". In a Class Twelve Medium Cargo Vessel.

Jon Wintersmith gets into contact with the Terran Intelligence. He has a funny story to tell.
