Hieronymus Lex

 is the Guard Captain in the Imperial City. He has sworn to find and arrest the Gray Fox and his weapon of choice is a Silver Claymore. He is usually located in the South Watch Tower accessible through the Temple District and the Arena. He is the main antagonist of the Thieves Guild quest line.

Interactions
In the quest Taking Care of Lex, Lex is transferred from the Imperial City to Anvil to work as a guard captain of Anvil. He hopes that fate will bring the Gray Fox to him. In the end, when the Hero becomes the Gray Fox and wears the cowl, Lex confronts him with two others. The Hero's choice is to decide whether Lex dies or not.

A copy of the Black Horse Courier states that a man was arrested for claiming to be the Gray Fox, the Reincarnation of Tiber Septim, a Were-shark, the love child of Stendarr and the mother of Hieronymus Lex.
