Hieronymus Lex is an overzealous Watch Captain of the Imperial City. He is the one who has placed all the wanted posters about the Gray Fox, and is the main nemesis of the Thieves Guild. If you join the Thieves Guild, and go through their quests, he will eventually be re-assigned as Guard Captain of Anvil. He does not offer any services.

When Hieronymus is reassigned to Anvil at the end of the quest Taking Care of Lex, he ceases to be member of the "Imperial Watch" and "IC Citizens" factions. He instead becomes a member of the "Anvil Citizens," "Anvil guard," and "Anvil castle residents" factions. His inventory is also changed to contain the keys and armor appropriate for an Anvil guardsman. Finally, he loses his essential flag and can therefore be killed.
