*You say genocide, I say preemptive strike."*-General Isaac in a flashback to his superiors in the JTF

Former leader of the Washington Liberation Front, Isaac 'Eli' Jonah was a hardcore American ultranationalist and believer in survival of the fittest. Beloved by his followers in the Wolves, Isaac was certain that everything he was doing was what was necessary to preserve humanity and American ideals and bring about order through the chaos of the Dollar Flu outbreak. While he passed away from a heart attack before he could see his vision to fruition, his actions while alive would have consequences for all of DC and America for decades to come.

## Biography

“*The only test of a man’s worth....is battle. When those rounds come screaming past your head, you’re gonna learn if you’re hungry enough. Hungry enough to take that victory. Now we are going to battle with the soldiers we used to be. The JTF. The SHD. And you had better believe that they are hungry too. Now once upon time, some of these agents, they may have been your friends. And there is brotherhood. But then there is what the world needs. These agents, they are the past! They still serve the machine that we left behind! And right now, for the future, the world needs us. I’m honored. I’m honored to be here with you today. And as you head into battle, with that mean look in your eye and those bad intentions in your mind, remember this. You are the few with the courage to make history. You have the desire to take victory. You will be on a battlefield full of agents. But only you, have that hunger. That hunger.....That makes you Wolves." -*Isaac's first and most iconic speech to his followers.

Isaac Jonah was born on August 13, 1976 and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. His father William was a factory worker, who took pride in the fact that he worked his way up to foreman at the General Motors Factory in Lordstown. His mother, who emigrated from South Africa at age ten, was an assistant pharmacist. She passed away by cancer when Isaac was fourteen.

With both parents working, Isaac grew up independent and self-reliant. After his mother's death he also took on the responsibility of helping to raise his younger siblings, instilling in him a strong sense of leadership. He was an above-average student, and worked part-time as a shop assistant for a car mechanic.

After graduating from high school Isaac found that he could not afford to go to college. He chose to go into the service instead. Initially, he planned to serve and then go to school using his G.I Bill benefits, but he found that the army lifestyle suited him, and he became a professional soldier.

It was during his time in the sandbox he met Robert List, Kara Morgan and Owen Asher, all of whom became brothers in arms during their time in the service. Isaac returned to the US in 2005, married a local lawyer, and had two daughters.

When the outbreak began however, Isaac lost his entire family to the virus. Heartbroken and seeking a sense of purpose, he joined the JTF as a Colonel. Soon finding himself working with Owen Asher, then a lieutenant, Isaac worked to contain the virus by sending the infected to the Georgetown neighborhood, then locking it down as a refugee camp.

However, Isaac, growing a distaste for the sick and a feeling that the JTF was losing control of the situation, continued to siphon supplies away from those who needed them. Feeling that his men mattered more, Isaac and his unit went rogue, seizing the Georgetown quarantine center for their own.

When the Seraphites rose up in rebellion, Isaac pulled his unit out of the area. Now completely certain that the JTF could not save the city, let alone keep it under control, Isaac marched his units to the Capitol Building, seizing control before spreading out and conquering vast swaths of the city.

Soon after, Isaac was contacted by a mysterious military organization, who employed his unit to their cause. However, as the virus continued to mutate, Isaac, believing that the virus couldn’t be solved medically like his superiors believed, and that the Seraphites posed a danger to the future of humanity, broke away from his leadership. Rounding up all but one of his superiors, Isaac had them put on a military tribunal, (rigged of course), found guilty of treason and ceremony beheaded. Isaac then sent his final superior up north to the leader of the organization that employed them and warned that if they wanted to dethrone him, they’d have to come down from their northern bases to do it.

Isaac continued to lead the WLF for five more years before passing from a heart attack. In his place, General Asher filled the role, with Keiling at his side.
