Joe Lomax

Joseph William Lomax, more often referred to as simply Joe, is the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI's Chicago Field Office, and older brother of FBI Director Rob Lomax. Lomax suspended Special Agent Art Jeffries on June 5, 1998, as the result of the failure of Jeffries' undercover assignment with radical Edgar Halstrom in Sturgis, South Dakota a week previous. In the early hours of June 8, a warrant for Jeffries arrest was issued by Lomax after Jeffries had taken Simon Lynch from Concordia Hospital a few hours earlier, at which time Lomax continually phoned Tommy, inquiring as to Jeffries' whereabouts. After lengthy convincing by Tommy, Lomax assisted Jeffries on June 12 when he and Jordan gathered an FBI SWAT team that assaulted the IBM Building's GEX helipad, resulting in the deaths of NSA Division's Lt. Colonel Nicholas Kudrow and Peter Burrell.
