He corrupts the minds of men to put pleasure and greed before thy neighbors. These...slavers, demons in disguise. They are such corrupted souls. They gave their souls to the devil, they purpurate heinous acts against their fellow man. And so, like Moses to the Egyptians before them, God has selected his chosen to deliver them an offer. Let my people go, or face the wrath of the heavens! They have chosen not to! And so, we shall deliver them great plagues and destruction until they are nothing but ruin and bone! For angels will descend from the cloud, with a sword to break the chains of the oppressed, and a cage to drag those loathsome sinners to the burning fires of hell! We are those angels, my brothers, my sisters, my children! Rise, and together, we will bring about the end to this despicable trade. We will free the shackled and burdened, we will fight and die in the service of God's holiest mission. And we shall do it gladly! For so long as we live, no man, woman, or child in this land shall be a slave!*

**Reverend Abraham Jeremiah Zahedi** is a founding member of the anti-slavery evangelical citizen's militia, the Abolitionists, and one of leader Dakota Callaghan's most trusted subordinates. A firebrand Christian pastor, Zahedi was infamous across the South for his fiery and impassioned speeches against what he saw as the growing decline of both the moral fabric of the United States, and the perversion of the Word of God for prejudice and hatred.

He believed all were welcome in the kingdom of God, and excluding groups such as transgenders or LGBQT+ only drove them away from salvation. At the same time, he advocated for more conservative beliefs, such as celibacy, even within marriage, sobriety, and putting the church and faith above all else. His unique mix of beliefs and the conviction with which he espoused them brought him a swell of devoted followers, but also many enemies both within the church and the outside. Towards the end of his career, he would often speak behind bulletproof glass in public.

The Dollar Flu outbreak did not stop Reverend Zahedi, it merely slightly changed what he spoke about. Shadowed by a group of loyal devotees, Zahedi traveled from community to community, preaching about the need to 'fight for God' against 'the devil's corrupted souls', such as raiders, gangs, and most vehemently in his hatred, slavers.

One day, Dakota Callaghan, a recently escaped slave, attended one of Zadhedi's sermons in Mississippi, and together, alongside ex-Marine Scout Sniper Madison Cole, the trio formed the Abolitionists, mixing Reverend Zahedi's religious ideology with the beliefs of historical abolitionists like John Brown, Willian Lloyd Garrison, and Fredrick Douglass to form a citizen's militia with a single goal: Exterminate slavery from the United States at any cost.

Serving as the voice of the Abolitionists, Zahedi formed the Church of Freed Man, the official religion of the militia, and wherever they go, Zahedi's firebrand style of preaching is never far behind. His voice has become a standard on the radio waves across the South, and with every passionate sermon he delivers, he brings hundreds of new recruits to the cause.
