Sons of Jacob

## History

The **Sons of Jacob**is a US-based religious organization founded by Jeremiah Scudder in 1979. The Sons of Jacob was founded to provide a fellowship forum for prominent individuals to study the Bible, pray and express spiritual affirmation. The Sons of Jacob is closely aligned to the Coalition for Moral Order, a socially conservative activist group that wields heavy influence over conservative members of the United States Congress, but the Sons of Jacob are officially a nonpartisan group.

The Sons of Jacob are known to be one of the most secretive, influential groups operating in American politics. The members shun publicity and tend to operate from behind the scenes, a tendency which has intensified after Nehemiah Scudder took over from his father following his 2013 death. The Sons of Jacob has had many figures participate in their activities. Among the most notable include US Presidents (namely Johnny Cyclops and John Blutarsky), businessmen (most notably Daniel Clamp and Caldwell B. Cladwell), Senators (most notably Steven Armstrong, Bob Roberts and Mary Ellen Sprinkle), governors (notably Bob Dunston, Sam McConaughy and Charles Norin) and other prominent figures.

The Sons of Jacob are commonly criticized for their secrecy, as well as often-controversial stances taken by leaders (both Scudders are regarded as homophobic, sexist, mutanophobic and anti-supernatural). In 2019, journalist Dan Vasser accused the Sons of Jacob to be secretly plotting to bring about an American theocracy. These accusations were denied by Scudder and Deputy Director Michael Seaver.

Funeral Games of Crixus

The **Funeral Games of Crixus** was an event that took place after Spartacus' victories over Consuls Gellius Publicola and Cornelius Lentulus during 72 BC.

Held in honour of Crixus, who was defeated and killed by Gellius and his forces in Apulia, they involved gladiatorial fights, numbering around 300 pairs of captured Roman soldiers.

## Event

Spartacus took more than 600 Roman prisoners from the battlefield after defeating Gellius Publicola.

The rebels searched for Crixus' body near the Garganus mountains where he was killed, and retrieved it along with most of the 20,000 rebels who died with him, and later cremated them. Spartacus had Crixus' body cremated last for every rebel to witness. Sources say he took the death of Crixus as an example of what could happen to him if hubris overtook him.

His death caused Spartacus to become more cautious, and more hostile towards the Romans, less forgiving.

Around 500 of these soldiers were put into match pairs and forced to fight as gladiators. The others were forced to fight Spartacus, Gannicus, Castus and other professional gladiators. Spartacus sacrificed them “to the shade of Crixus”.

One of the sole survivors; Lucius Linianus, was later crucified in 71 BC as an attempt to humiliate the Romans as well as send a message to the rebels of what their fate would be if they were defeated.
