History[]
Past[]
When the Dollar Flu spread to Washington D.C., the JTF established a quarantine zone on Roosevelt Island. The JTF Colonel Antwon Ridgeway was given the administrative responsibility to manage the quarantine on Roosevelt Island. During his administrative time on Roosevelt Island, he bore witness to all the loss, tragedies and disasters caused by the aftermath of Dollar Flu.
Colonel Ridgeway began to lose hope in the federal government's decision-making skills, and he even lost faith in the JTF's power to secure Washington D.C. He came to the conclusion that everyone quarantined on Roosevelt Island was doomed to die no matter what the JTF could do.
A true believer in strength and authority, the Colonel Ridgeway began viewing the infected as dying and weak. He began deploying heavily armed guards around Roosevelt Island to ensure that no one can escape, and he even began redirecting resources coming into Roosevelt Island towards the healthy and uninfected, letting the quarantined people starve to death and go on without any medicinal resources. He had hoped that this strategy would not only secure the healthy but speed up the deaths of the infected.
At this point, Colonel Ridgeway was more focused on securing a future for the healthy citizens of Washington D.C. and even for his own soldiers. Colonel Ridgeway actions were driven by his need to do whatever it takes to ensure the well-being of the healthy and the quick deaths of the infected.
Due to his actions and drive to secure a future for the healthy, he had secured the loyalty of most of the JTF soldiers and even some civilians as they began willingly following him. Due to the chaotic nature of Washington D.C., Colonel Ridgeway began using his power in a more authoritative manner, and he even ordered the JTF soldiers guarding the quarantine on Roosevelt Island to open fire on the quarantined citizens trying to escape from Roosevelt Island.
Due to this action, the JTF commanders discovered all of his actions and decided to imprison him for his crimes. However, because he had secured the loyalty of the vast majority of the JTF prior to his arrest, his loyal followers freed him, believing that Colonel Ridgeway had done nothing wrong and was actually a devout patriot who was trying to secure a future for those uninfected but the Dollar Flu.
When Colonel Ridgeway was freed, he had completely lost faith in the federal government and the JTF. He soon began recruiting almost all of the JTF personnel in Washington D.C. as well as been recruiting other military veterans, professional criminals and mercenaries in Washington D.C. into his new faction called the True Sons. Colonel Ridgeway even held a symbolic tribunal for the JTF personnel who had arrested him, only to execute them all mere moments later.
The Division 2[]
By now, the True Sons had become a major faction in Washington D.C. with hem securing many strongholds and having massive numbers. This combined with their military grade technology, extensive training and even some replicated SHD technologies, the True Sons became the most dominant and feared faction in Washington D.C. and even the biggest threat to the Civilian settlements and the White House as well as the Division.
The True Sons had even engaged in an open war with the Outcasts, a group of leftover survivors from Colonel Ridgeway's authoritarian methods on Roosevelt Island who hold a personal vendetta against the True Sons and the Civilians in Washington D.C. The True Sons even engaged in war against the Hyenas, generally seeing the Hyenas as the "rats" of the city.
The True Sons began many projects such as a chemical weapons project; whereby they studied and harnessed the DC-62 from certain Quarantine Zones around the Jefferson Plaza to weaponize and use on their chemical weapons project. They have even used one of these chemical weapons to decimate a civilian encampment as an act of retaliation against the Division's activities again the True Sons. Rather than send more soldiers and weapons to deal with the Outcasts on Roosevelt Island, the True Sons began a project to monitor and gather data on the Outcasts on Roosevelt Island, seeing the elimination of the Hyenas and the Division as first primary objectives before they start to officially deal with the Outcasts.
The True Sons began using the ViewPoint Museum to broadcast propaganda so as to weaken the morale of their enemies and even recruit more soldiers from various factions. They had even established an official prison in the American History Museum where they had detained a large number of Hyenas and even gathered intel from the Hyenas using enhanced interrogation techniques. They had even begun stripping the rocket displays inside the Air & Space Museum for their missile development program. They had even begun operating under the Lincoln Memorial and had even been using the underground trains to transport shipments of chemical weapons and other missiles.
