=== Early History ===
=== Confronting Joseph Seed; 2018 ===
In late 2018, a joint operation between the United States Marshals Service and the county sheriff's department—consisting of Deputy Marshal Cameron Burke, Sheriff Earl Whitehorse and his deputies Joey Hudson, Staci Pratt and Calvin Rook, a new Junior Deputy—arrived at an Eden's Gate church to detain Joseph Seed with a federal arrest warrant on charges of kidnapping with the intent to harm. Although Joseph offered no resistance, he claimed that God will not allow him to be taken.

=== The Yaran Revolution Timeline; 2021 ===
In this timeline, Rook silently refused to cuff Seed, with Whitehorse acknowledging this and lowered Seed's hands, announcing that they were leaving. As the two left the church, Burke demanded for them to return and arrest the Father, which Whitehorse explained that if they cuffed him, none of them would leave that place alive. As he threatened to have them all arrested, they ignored him and left the church, with Hope County remaining undisturbed and relatively safe.
In 2021, it is revealed that the Seed Family is still alive, and although Eden has influence in the county still, they are mostly peaceful and have not retaliated against the locals. It was revealed that Boomer the dog was sent to Yara by Hurk in hopes that he would have a better life there, possibly away from Eden. His former owner, Rae-Rae's fate is unknown, as although she was killed by Eden in the New Dawn timeline, it can be assumed that this was changed and she simply went ahead with shipping Boomer away from Hope County to keep him safe.
