== Biography ==
=== 1880 ===
Jonathan Wallace was born somewhere either in this region or Grizzlies West, en route to the Wapiti Indian Reservation. He was raised on the reservation, situated at the base of a cliff in this region. Eventually, he ran away from home to escape the tyranny and unsettling conditions of the reservation in favor of fortune.
=== 1899 ===
Around this time, the Van der Linde gang eventually had began committing certain actions within this area alongside the Wapiti Native-Americans. However, while the natives wanted to liberate their people from their evil clutches, most of the Van der Linde gang, except for members Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith wanted to distract the army by getting them into conflict with the tribe so that they can rob an army supply train en route to rebuild the Bacchus Bridge that was blown earlier by Arthur and John Marston. The conflict mostly ended with the chief, Rains Fall’s second and only surviving son, Eagle Flies, passing away inside his father’s tipi at the reservation due to a gunshot wound he received from Colonel Henry Favours after he saved Morgan’s life during the fight at Cornwall Kerosene and Tar. The tribe were forced to relocate to Canada to evade the army and find relative safety.
Only a couple of days later, after the train robbery, which passed into Grizzlies East and ended at Bacchus Bridge in Cumberland Forest, New Hanover, the gang fell out at their camp in Beaver Hollow and Arthur and John were forced to flee for their lives.

Initially attempting to escape on horseback, the two men’s horses were shot and killed underneath them by pursuing Pinkertons. Although conflicted over whether to ensure John escapes or go back for the gang’s money, Arthur decided to make sure that John would survive his escape, even if the former were not to due to his earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis, dooming him to die soon. The two climb a cliff that is located right on the eastern state border of Ambarino, therefore entering the region. The two fought off more Pinkertons until the two finally had a moment of peace on a ridge, where Arthur had decided to stay behind as his illness had already advanced and his exhaustion was taking a toll on him. Giving him his possessions, he ordered him to go to his awaiting family. After some emotional goodbyes, Arthur managed to survive the initial ambush, only to be attacked by the gang’s rat, Micah Bell. The two fell onto the ridge and they fought in a bloody and gruesome match, with neither one of them gaining the upper hand, despite Arthur being sick. After a long battle, Arthur noticed one of Micah’s guns having fell out of its holster and desperately tried to crawl to it. Although he was successful, Dutch, the gang’s leader, stopped him from doing so. After he was convinced of Micah’s wrongdoings, he abandoned both of them. In a fit of rage, Micah stormed off in anger, leaving Arthur alone in his final moments. He crawled to a slant and rested his back against it as he overlooked the sunrise coming in from over the valley. After taking in some final breaths, Arthur Morgan finally died on the ridge in a peaceful manner from tuberculosis, exhaustion, and injuries. Sometime later, Charles Smith received word that Morgan had died and after discovering his body on the ridge, buried it atop a large mountain, north of Bacchus Station, overlooking the territories.
Roughly the next year after this, Jonathan Wallace had returned from hiding in California due to his actions in 1898. He returned to the reservation in hopes of finding his mother and tribe, only to discover it abandoned. After mourning the loss of his tribe, Jon left the area, never to return again.
