Wilfram "Wilf" Jones was an English mercenary who served in the employ of Count Tilly during the Battle of the Crapper. He was taken prisoner along with his friends Reichard Blucher, Christian du Champ, and Dieter Wiesskamp before being approved for a pardon by Gretchen Richter for their good behavior. Jones and his former mercenaries became farm workers before they became partners in Ev and Lanie Parker's draft horse breeding operation—all in the space of two years. During his stay, Jones became interested in watching movies, particularly military-themed movies such as Zulu.
