Biography
First adventure in Buranda
Shortly after being assigned to be the Commissioner's assistant, Wimberly had to assist him with a major crisis, the resurgence of the murderous Serpent Cult who had spread terror on the area ten years prior, now under the leadership of the original Serpent Priest's vengeful daughter Nerlana. After the Commissioner sent an email to Kaza and Gwenna to apprise them of the situation, he headed to the kraal near Buranda Pass with Wimberly; there, they were nearly assassinated by one of the Serpent Cultists, but saved at the last moment by Gwenna's intervention.
The captured cultist let slip that Kaza, who'd headed directly to the Temple of the Serpent God, was walking into a trap. Taking the Commissioner's jeep, the three got reinforcements at the Natari village before getting to the Temple in time for the nightly ceremony where Nerlana intended to sacrifice Kaza to Nerkash, their “Serpent God”, who proved to be a very real (but not actually supernatural) giant snake that Nerlana psychically controlled using a magical tiara, as her father had before her. The day ended up being saved with much less bloodshed than anticipated when Wimberly reflexively shot at the beast; the sight of their “god” bleeding caused the cultists to scatter, while the snake, breaking free from Nerlana's control in its panic, ended up eating her, a denouement which the Commissioner wryly noted would give him “five times the paperwork”.
Some days later, an extremely amused Commissioner had to help the still-demure Wimberly deal with the embarrassing position his spur-of-the-moments heroics had netted him, namely that several women of the Natari village — many of whose men had been wiped out during the Cult's original reign of terror — now wanted to bear his children. (COMIC: The Serpent Sorceress)
