### Subject A01 Significant Deaths

#### Jayden Wright's Family

As a child, Jayden Wright believed that he was a curse. When he was young, his mother was shot dead on her couch during a drive-by shooting and the police never found the culprits to these crimes. Then, shortly after his mother's cold case murder, Jayden's grandmother and newly appointed caretaker fell down the stairs to her basement, dying from the injuries that she sustained during her fall.

#### Levi and Aubrielle Yost

Levi Yost was investigating Jayden Wright and his current scandals for the Collegiate Athletes Association. Unfortunately, his investigation was constantly getting derailed by Christina Dahl and Greg Malone, who seemed to be protecting their student. After getting embarrassed during his own investigation, Levi Yost attended his daughter's dance recital and contemplated quitting his job to be a better father. Regrettably, he never gets the chance. An ignition bomb is planted in his car and it detonates the moment he started his vehicle. His eight-year-old daughter was simply caught in the wrong place.

#### Chester Shipley

Chester Shipley was a happy man and a proud father. Unfortunately, his work assignment makes him a valuable pawn to Bruce Donahue, and Shipley is turned into a sleeper agent. After helping the Silver University hitman stage a prison uprising, Shipley learns the truth. Donahue was going to spare Shipley's life, but the correctional officer's emotional breakdown makes Donahue change his mind. Simply by snapping his finger, an embedded response in Shipley's brain presses his own gun against his chin and presses the trigger, killing himself while losing control over his own muscles.

#### Mrs. Shipley

Donahue visits Mrs. Shipley while being disguised as a police officer. Mrs. Shipley allows Donahue to enter her home under the pretense that she will be receiving some financial compensation for her husband's untimely death. Donahue gives Mrs. Shipley a check worth a small fortune, but the ink is laced with highly-concentrated Thallium, which is lethal upon contact with the skin. The poison enters Mrs. Shipley's bloodstream and kills her on the spot, allowing her children to be abducted.

#### Kai

Kai was coerced into posting a defamatory video about Jayden Wright for a decent sum of money, but their internet trolling brings about more trouble than they anticipate. Jayden appears at their workplace and wants answers, but this quest for the truth turns Jayden into a sleeper agent. While under the influence of Ascending Dawn, Jayden murders Kai with a box cutter, leaving their dead body in the back warehouse of an office supply store.

#### Layla Knowles

Layla married into an abusive relationship and was forced to become isolated from her family. When the opportunity presents itself, Jayla brings Jayden into her home, despite Judas Knowles protesting this decision. Every day, Layla and the kids endure ruthless beatings from Judas, mostly brought about by drug-induced fits of rage. Eventually, Layla has seen enough and calls the cops, but her husband intercepts them at the door. Afterwards, Judas proceeds to attack her, knocking Layla unconscious, then using a machete to behead and dismember his wife before stuffing her body into the trunk of his car.

#### Judas Knowles

The father of Joyner Knowles was a drug kingpin in Montour, but his abusive nature eventually led to his downfall. One day, he beat Jayden to the brink of death, much to the dismay of his wife. The two get into a disagreement, which inevitably leads to Judas murdering Layla in cold blood. When Jayden returns home, he finds Layla's body and gets revenge, stabbing Judas in the eye and throat, putting an end to his reign of terror.

#### Joyner Knowles

Joyner was used to be a pawn in the Subject A01 plot to further the Project Cultivation timeline. Framing Jayden as the bad guy, Silver University exploited Joyner's troubled past on the false promise that he could have everything Jayden acquired after abandoning him. During their final showdown, Jayden and Joyner fight at an abandoned steel mill, and Joyner thinks Jayden has stumbled into smoldering liquid metal. He is proven wrong, and Jayden shoves his cousin from behind, crushing him between an oversized metal sheet and an industrial magnet.
