Biography[]
Preacher is first seen wielding a crossbow to aid in attacking the ape colony with a platoon of Alpha-Omega soldiers. Despite the apes taking many casualties, they launched a counter attack that results in most of the platoon being killed. Preacher was among the few who survived and was taken prisoner. While Preacher displayed at least some respect and admiration towards Caesar and the apes, the other soldiers displayed anger and defiance.
Despite this, the apes released Preacher and the other soldiers, attempting to show that they are seekers of peace and sent them back to Colonel McCullough in an attempt to end the war.
Later, after Caesar was captured, he helped enforce Caesar and the other apes, who were being used as slave labor to build a defensive wall to fight off remnants of the U.S Army after Alpha-Omega went rogue and began killing all those who were infected with a mutated strain of the Simian Flu. It is unknown if Preacher was insecure about his acts, considering he almost always looks scared/forced whenever he does something.
When McCullough explained the mutation of the Simian Flu and the extreme measures taken to prevent it from spreading to Caesar, Preacher also noted that McCullough beheaded his commanding officers when they attempted to convince him to find a medical solution.
Days later, during the battle between the opposing human armies, when Caesar tried to destroy the wall using grenades, he was wounded by an arrow from Preacher, who appeared ready to kill Caesar. In that moment, a redeemed Red saved Caesar by killing Preacher with a grenade launcher.
