Jules

## Appearances

"*You think I'm not angry? Oh, I am. More than you can imagine. I have people I care about on the other side of a goddamn **ocean**. I'll probably never see them again, and it's not like they can march here, search for my body and seek revenge. I came here voluntarily, just like you, to help my people, just like you. And I've learned from experience that its best not to dwell on just how crushing this world is. No matter how bad it gets, how deep it gets to you. I mean, this is the sort of shit we wrote about on computers when we were bored. Saw in a movie. And we're **living** in it. And I will not let it get to me. So I'm sorry if the way I say things doesn't exactly match the moment. I am scared. **Scared shitless**. So I'd rather handle it my own way if that's okay,*"
—Jules to Edwards[src]
**Jules**, also known as **Sky Man**,is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in *The Fatal Frontier.* He is a British man with a mysterious past, who has spent many months studying the society of the Norn after crash landing during a severe storm. After he was rescued by Lupa, he joined the Heathens in their war against the Norn, in exchange for their help in finding the place that would allow him to go home. With the war against the Norn over, Jules set off to find his way back across the ocean and return home.

## Overview

### Personality

Jules is level-headed and friendly, possessing an iron will to survive. He expresses a laid-back, calm and charming personality.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Not much is yet known about Jules' life before the outbreak. He was born in northern England in the United Kingdom in a largely rural, hilly area.

## Post-Apocalypse

Not long after the outbreak, the young Jules managed to join a small group of kids on a farm. The farm served as a safe haven for a few years, armed with a high fence, a few cows, and a windmill to generate electricity. However, after a couple of years, the farm began to deteriorate: the cattle died, large parts of the fence collapsed, and the windmill broke down. The group found it difficult to hunt in the rough terrain, barely finding enough to feed more than two or three people at a time.

Their situation changed when they met a man named Alistair, who claimed that he was from a community built inside the Tower of London, and it was his job to bring people back to his community. Jules and a few others accepted his offer, and they made the successful journey south and settled in the Tower. Jules became a scout and Alistair's partner, working with him to bring others to the community. Over the years, the Tower made alliances with other communities in London, and together they cleared most of the city's streets to form a trade network.

Jules was then selected for a special mission: the alliance had restored an old radar station, where they made contact with a massive network in the United States. An exchange program was agreed upon, and Jules was selected to fly to the network's base in the southwest.

### The Fatal Frontier

#### 'Bloodshot'

In a flashback, Jules, on his mission, pilots a plane through a violent thunderstorm; a bolt of lightning hits his engine and he crashes, breaking his leg. Crawling from the wreckage, he encounters two Norn warriors, one of which stabs his hand with a spear. He is then saved by Lupa, who kills the Norn warriors with a bow and arrow. She then sets his leg and uses his sabre to dispatch incoming walkers. The two of them run from the walkers and the growing forest fire.

In the present, Jules rendezvous with Lupa, who allowed herself to be taken by Norn warriors. Together, they plan to assassinate Kyther. As they fight their way through Haven's subterranean corridors, they emerge into the arena, where they witness Edwards go toe-to-toe with the Champion. Lupa throws Edwards' tomahawk into the arena, allowing him to succeed against the Champion.

#### 'Monster'

Jules appears at the end of the episode, rescuing Edwards and Lupa from the Pale Men alongside Seth and several Heathen warriors. While Seth tends to Lupa, Jules stops Edwards from pulling the arrow from his ribs.

#### 'Feral'

When Edwards wakes up, Jules is there to greet him. He reveals that he has only been in the United States for a few weeks, which confuses Edwards, who has been there for the last fifteen years. Jules then walks him through the Heathen's community and into his cabin. There, Jules tells his story: he survived on a farm in northern England following the outbreak, before meeting a stranger from London. Jules and a few others followed the stranger to the Tower of London, where Jules became a recruiter. He volunteered for a special mission to make contact with a group in the US, taking the plane piloted by an American to London. Jules successfully flew across the Atlantic before crash landing in the Wilds, where he was saved by Lupa. The Heathens agreed to give him safe passage out of the Wilds if he helped them in their way against the Norn, which he agreed to.

#### 'Lies'

Jules accompanies the Heathen troop on their mission to the Dark Place; he takes an old rifle alongside Edwards, as well as a few flares. The troop is attacked on the road by the Pale Men, who kill most of the troop. Jules, Lupa, Edwards, Seth, Benjin and Kail are the only ones to escape.

#### 'Worship'

Jules and the rest of the troop make it to the Dark Place, where they discover the manor was home to a cult within the Catholic church, and the manor was managed as a hospital for mentally ill children where the cult conducted experiments on the patients. This culminated in the children rising up and massacring the cult, degenerating over years into the Norn. Jules then escapes the Dark Place with Lupa, Kail and Edwards when Seth sets the manor on fire, sacrificing himself.

#### 'Sins'

Edwards devises a plan to wipe out the Pale Men and the Shark-Toothed Man and draw Kyther and her people up the mountain to a visitor's centre. While Kail returns to the Heathens to gather reinforcements and Edwards climbs upwards to draw out the Shark-Toothed Man, Jules and Lupa return to the wreckage of Jules' plane, which is leaking fuel. Using a flare, the two of them lure the entirety of the Pale Men to the crash site, setting it and them alight with Lupa's lighter.

## Killed Victims

* Alistair *(before reanimation, out of mercy)*
* At least 20 Pale Men *(alongside Lupa)*
* Possibly numerous unnamed Norn warriors
* Numerous counts of zombies

## Relationships

### Harry Edwards

"*This is up to us. You two, find the plane. I'll get to the overlook,"
 "You got it, brother,"
 "Good luck, brother,*"
—Edwards and Jules[src]
Jules and Edwards develop a good friendship during the course of *The Fatal Frontier*, primarily due to their shared background: Englishmen trapped in a foreign land in which neither feels they truly belong. Edwards admires the lengths that Jules will go to in order to return home. Before they part ways, Jules asks if Edwards wants to accompany him on the long journey back to the UK, which Edwards declines, saying that the people he cares about "reside in *this* land".
