Major General **Mordecai Richard Winchester** Senior (known as Mordecai Winchester or General Winchester) is a main character and supporting protagonist in the Reboot timeline.

Mordecai is a retired US Army general and one of the fabled co-founders of the WTO PMC that is widely known and feared throughout his time.

## Background

Born on May 6, 1975 in Lexington, Kentucky, Mordecai was born into a military family where his father fought in Vietnam and taught him his skills at a young age, molding the young man into a hardened killer. During his time, Mordecai met Lori Munroe, a young florist, and the two began dating until they get married at 18.

At the age of 18, Mordecai joined the United States Army at the request of his father and quickly rose through the ranks as the War on Terror begun. During the war, Mordecai quickly became respected and feared throughout his military career and through various battlefield promotions and accomplishments, Mordecai became a Major General and during his off days, he tended to his son and even taught him the same skillset as his father did to him in the past.

While nothing is further known or seen, it's implied that Mordecai retired from the military and stayed in the shadows, training and molding recruits into hardened warriors after joining up with a PMC that wanted his unique skillset to the table.

## Biography (The Canon Series)

Mordecai Winchester is first seen when he inducted Jay into his unit and as the war progressed, he was saved by Jay after Hansel cornered him, earning his respect. He is seen again when the unit was sent in to deal with the ARF forces in Argentina, but got injured during an ambush, leaving him out of the fight. At this time, it's later revealed that Mordecai died from his injuries while treatment and got his death covered up as leukemia.

## Biography (The Raider)

Mordecai is hardly seen until the 5th chapter, when he is seen with his son and Jay to take over the ARF forces. Despite being heavily injured, Mordecai managed to survive the attack. However, Mordecai didn't succeed with taking out Jack since he tried to convince Jack into turning back the Reaper life, but failed when Jack captured the trio and killed Mordecai, ending his leadership within the WTO and leading Jay and Mordecai to kill Jay.

## Personality

According to many people within the military life, Mordecai was rumored as a highly honorable and courageous individual who deeply cared about the United States' integrity and history and even admitted that the country should be more defensible against international and domestic threats. Because of his honor and integrity, Mordecai was revered by many soldiers and enemies throughout his career.

While extremely strict and harsh to the recruits during training, Mordecai is seen to be more respectful and honest to his allies, even admitting that training them in the old school ways are going to help them survive, which is proven true as many soldiers lived through the most dangerous missions worldwide. Due to his strictness and his empathy, Mordecai is described as a better leader and according to Jay himself, a respected father figure to his soldiers.

In both timelines, Mordecai is shown to be extremely brave in combat and even though he doesn't fight as often like his Reapers, he admitted that he missed being in the field and even enjoys fighting enemies, showing a slightly sadistic and ruthless attitude towards killing. However, Mordecai is shown to be very forgiving and to most people, it's actually revealed as a major weakness due to the fact that most Reapers took advantage of him and used it, which ironically led him to his possible fate.

In his final moments, Mordecai deliberately taunted Jack into killing him to protect both Jay and his son and died as a brave, honorable, and hardened warrior that tried to fight and stand for what's right and destroy what's wrong.
