Freddie Douglas

Freddie Douglas came to the Snake Tribe from the genera! area of Utah. An Anglo-African mulatto, Freddie was none to popular in his early career. Before he took the name Freddie Douglas, he was known as M-Dog. As M-Dog, he controlled a great deal of the Pacific Northwest drug trade from Seattle. When the viral bomb was dropped on South America, M-Dog was as out of luck as his drug-dealing competitors.
The war between the distribution networks for the remainder of the drugs in North America was fought only half-heartedly. The dealers all knew that the real war was already lost, and all they were fighting over was the scraps. M-Dog saw his organization start to crumble around him, so he took his closest friends and he left the trade.
Over the next few years, the Dogs, as their group became known, did what they could to survive. They had a head start on the rest of America, because for them, the Collapse came a few years early, and they were already making it when the rest of the country slid down. Like other emerging nomad groups, the Dogs made somewhat of a name for themselves, gathering good people,: organizing; and overcoming. The Dogs evolved into a powerful force in the Pacific Northwest, but not without a price.
Aryan separatist groups like the Order had long made the Pacific Northwest their home, as well. They did not like the people that became the Dogs, they being rebellious black criminals; and they did not like Freddie (as he was now called) most of all. In one of the last clashes between the two sides, Aryan groups raided the Dogs' camp. Over a hundred were killed that night on both sides. Freddie lost his wife and young son, as well as his left eye and use of his left arm, when a crude missile struck his car.
After years of grieving, he has learned to persevere. The organizational skills he learned as a drug-dealer served him well in organizing his clan. When the Nations formed, Freddie was there. He watched carefully, as did many of the nomads who attended, and he maintained constant communication with the leaders of several other sizeable tribes of similar opinion. He was determined to stay independent, but it did not come to be. As things began to shake out, Freddie and the others became nervous of the size and power of the new Nomad Nations. They felt they had to be equal to compete, and they had to compete to survive. They chose to form a coalition to protect their interests: the Snake Nation. Freddie was chosen by the other leaders to be their representative.
Freddie Douglas is a capable man, gifted with both the strength to see his will done, and the intelligence to know that strength is often not the best solution. He has seen the power-games that other groups play, and he has not been amused. In fact, he often wishes he could go back to being a simple clan elder..WINN, R. Neo Tribes. 1st ed. Berkeley CA: R.
