Jerrom Laesmi

**Jerrom Laesmi** is a non-player character in *Triangle Strategy*.

## Profile/Story

### Representative of the Rosellan Village

Jerrom is the representative of the Rosellan Village in the Wolffort demesne. He is deeply respected by his people. Jerrom is first introduced in Chapter IV: A New Dawn, when House Wolffort visits the Roselle village.

The Rosellan village becomes a focal point of the war in Chapter XI, Part I: Oppressions Under the Sun, when Hyzante offers to give House Wolffort military aid in exchange for returning the Roselle to the Source. The Source was a hellish salt lake in Hyzante, where the Roselle were forced to mine salt ceaselessly until they died from exhaustion. Needless to say, Jerrom did not want this fate to befall his village.

When Serenoa sends word that he will turn in the Rosellans, Hyzante gives him an "ally" to help with the Roselle's removal: Silvio Telliore. Although Serenoa tries to peacefully remove Roselle, Silvio resorts to force. While Serenoa sides with Silvo at the onset, he eventually deems Telliore’s methods too heartless and kills him. When the Roselle realize their presence will endanger not just Serenoa but all of House Wolffort, Chief Jerrom Laesmi and the other members of the village decide to go to Hyzante. The Roselle village is left desolate and abandoned.

* If the War Council votes to keep the Roselle

Jerrom and House Wolffort must defend the Rosellan village from the traitorous Silvio Telliore, who had planned to turn in the Roselle as a show of good faith to Hyzante. After killing Silvio, Jerrom and the other villagers have one day to plan their next course of action before minister Exharme Marcial seizes them by force. By carefully investigating the village, Serenoa finds something that could turn Norzelia’s entire belief system upside-down: a salt crystal. The Rosellan village elder reveals that Orlaea, liberator of the Roselle and Frederica's mother, had given the village the salt crystal as a gift. Orlaea also hinted that a repository of salt crystals just like the one she left to the Roselle existed all across Norzelia, hidden beneath the Earth. Using the salt crystal as leverage, Serenoa is able to prevent Exharme from taking the village, and the Rosellans are able to stay in their beloved home.

In Chapter XV, Part I: A Banner's Worth, the village is beseiged by bandits Trish and Travis. These bandits are driven off with Frederica Aesfrost's help, and the bandits hand over the The Diary of Orlaea. In the diary, Frederica learns the secret of the Roselle, and vows to free her people.

## Endings

### Frederica

Serenoa assents to Frederica’s strategy, and formulates a plan to go along with it. Serenoa decides House Wolffort would first sneak into the Ministry to steal an Aelfric, blow up the goddess’ statue with Dragan’s explosives, rally the Rosellan slaves to leave, destroy the goddess’ shield using Aelfric,  then sail to Centralia via Norzelia’s south-west waterfall.

Jerrom is apart of the group Serenoa and Frederica liberate at the Source, and heads to Centralia with his fellow Roselle. He is seen is the ending artwork, looking at the horizon happily from Centralia's shores.

* If the War Council voted to keep the Roselle

Jerrom encourages his fellow villagers to go along with Serenoa and Frederica's plan, and head to Centralia after House Wolffort liberates the Roselle at the Source. He is seen is the ending artwork, looking at the horizon happily from Centralia's shores.

### Roland

Jerrom is not seen during Roland's ending, although it can be assumed he and his fellow Roselle are rounded up and forced to do inhumane labor at the Source.

### Benedict

Although Jerrom is not seen during Benedict's ending, Benedict and House Wolffort liberate the Roselle at the Source and establish a meritocracy in Glenbrook. Almost no aid is given to Jerrom nor his fellow Roselle to prevent them from falling into extreme poverty.

### Golden

Jerrom rallies his brethren at the Roselle village and convinces them to help Frederica's Regiment liberate the Roselle at Hyzante's Source. In the Golden End, once Hyzante abolishes the enslavement of the Roselle, Jerrom attends Serenoa Wolffort's and Frederica Aesfrost's wedding.

## Mid-Battle Conversations

### Chapter XI, Part II: To the Bitter End

#### near Frederica

* **Frederica**: I will see you on the other side of this, Jerrom! So long as I breathe, Hyzante will never touch our kin!
* **Jerrom**: I know what's at stake. On my honor as a Rosellan, I shall not lose!

### Chapter XI, Part II: The Bloodstained Conscience

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Jerrom**: A pity, Lord Serenoa. You had such potential.
* **Jerrom**: I had thought you to be your father's son. I thought you had his compassion, his strength. But today you have proven me wrong.
* **Serenoa**: Don't be so hasty, Jerrom. We don't mean to return you to Hyzante in chains.
* **Serenoa**: We'll ensure the Roselle of the Source receive just and fair treatment. Treatment better than the suffering they've endured for generations.
* **Serenoa**: That's the path that's most beneficial to all. You must trust that my intentions are pure.
* **Jerrom**: Do not speak to me of pure intentions! If you were anything but a liar, then I would not have the deaths of my allies to mourn! Enough!

#### vs. Frederica

* **Frederica**: We have not come to fight, Jerrom. Please, you must listen.
* **Jerrom**: Apologies, my lady, but your actions and your words seem to be at odds with one another.

### Chapter XII: Defiance and Despondence

#### vs. Rufus

* **Rufus**: Look, he's paying me good coin to kill you, so I can't play nice anymore.
* **Jerrom**: What do you mean, "anymore"!?
