President River Welsh (Enigma)

Well when it comes to the tales of the man referred to simply as Enigma, there is very little factual information on the streets about this hunter. Enigma is a man that has declared war on the establishment and has been fighting along side his fellow Wreckers and other like minded souls for many a decade. He has become a bit of a bogeyman for the UCAS (United Canadian American States) and has stood as the nations only true defender he is a man of action and a man that is willing to stare directly into the abyss that is tyranny. He never budges nor does he ever waver, Enigma will fight till his last dying breath and he will make sure his message is heard loud and clear, Enigma will make damned sure that we all hear the bell of liberty rung once again before he leaves this world for the afterlife.

         Enigma first appeared on the scene directly after the rise of the Natives in the summer of 2018 and has survived the purging of the patriots that was shoved down our throats during this time as well. River once served within the United States House as a ranking member of the House Judicial committee and the Chairman of the Joint Armed Services Committee where he sat along side members of the Senate. River worked alongside Senators like Kingsbury, and Grant during these days and as well with many others that claimed they served the people when in actuality they served the system and would eventually revel their true colours on August 18th, 2018. According to the records that have surfaced from many of our congressman and senators that served during these days. The system was crumbling long before the Great Tragedy and the purging that would follow, everything was being set up for a grand take over and collapse of the democratic system of Old America for a new system of tyranny and enslavement. There were a handful of politicians during these early days that stood in direct defiance of the status qua, and for these men and women life as they would now it would change forevermore once the final piece of the puzzle was put in place.

         River was one of those men that would never stand to accept the rise of tyranny and the enslavement of the American people, according to his records from his time in Washington he would stand on behalf of the people and would never relent his quest to create change and restore America once again. He warned his colleagues many times of an impending revolution and he warned them that the people are awake and the people are aware of the corruption within the hallowed halls of DC. He was a man that stood for change, though not the change they wanted no he stood for a restoration of the core American values and restoration of what made America a desired nation for everyone. He was speaking of Freedom, Liberty and Democracy, he was warning his fellow politicians that if they continued down the path of destruction they where headed, bullets would once again herald down the streets. He warned that the Tree of Liberty would once again be refreshed and that they in fact worked for the people and not the reverse

         River’s deep patriotic roots would come from his families linage, his family could trace it’s roots directly back to the American Revolution and to America’s father. He is a direct descendent of General George Washington, and do to this connection the love for the nation burned deep within his family and for River this went straight to his core, he served in the military before entering into the political arena with hopes of one day running for President and creating change for the people, restoring America and bringing forth a new dawn for the people to stand behind. Though for River his plan would change as he would never be able to advance past the House, do to his extreme views he was the enemy to his party and the establishment feared what he would be capable of if given any further power. They couldn’t stop his congressional run, but they could stonewall any further advancement unless he played ball. Well for River this would never be the case and he would never accept the status qua and hence forth any dream of the presidency would be just that a dream.

         Though this would also make him a target for the False Flag once it would begin to cement itself, they knew that River would never accept or surrender to their will and he would rise up and allow his voice to be heard. He would become a serious problem for them if left alive, and left with any ability to exist as a piece of history. The problem for the UCAS was that River is not a stupid man and he is not a man that is unaware, he was able to see the writing on the walls and he could sense something was coming. Ever the game player River would set up a contingency plan that would end up saving his life from the termination squads that would come for him days before the Great Tragedy of 2018, though in all his pre-emptive planing he was unable to predict the sheer power of the Great Ghost Dance and the impending Nights of Blood. He was unable to prevent the death of his wife and children at the hands of Native savages, though he did spare them the initial capture and execution at the hands of the government.

         Days before the Ghost Dance, River was preparing for his day like normal, and while he was getting dressed for the office his perimeter alarms would sound. He would check the monitors only to see a squad of men shrouded in black armour with assault weapons breaching his property and heading towards the house. He would also receive a message on his cell phone from Senator Lyndon Kingsbury that they where coming for him, and to get to safety, River had already figured that the government would attempt something to remove him from the equation, he ran to his bedroom door and slammed the panic button that would send a wave through the house, as alarms blared and lights flashed the house would go into lock down. Metal shields would slam down covering the doors and windows, electrified wire would cover the roof as barbed razor wire would rise from the ground below and surround the home. Catching a few of the soldiers in the painful twists of his protection, this would cause the emerging soldiers to get caught in his trap. They would be stuck in the middle of nothing but razor wire, some of them actually being snagged in his initial web of blades, well this would only get worse as River had a little surprise for the trespassers. He would through the switch on the razor wire turning it into a massive chainsaw, as the wire would be pulled through a motorised system that would instead of just cutting and tangling the intruders in his bladed web. He would be serenaded by their screams as the blades began cutting and tearing into the men causing an extreme amount of pain and blood loss with a most certain death awaiting them. Those that would be trapped between the wires and out of the way of the blades would come to learn why the United States Marine Corps awarded River the Expert Rifleman’s award as he would pick off his would be assassins one by one with ease.

         Though in all his planing he never imagined what was to come next, he could never have prepared for an all out magical assault on the level that was to come. He had created a panic system that worked beyond expectations, stock piled weapons, ammunition, supplies, fuel and even salvaging an old Army transport truck to be his bug out vehicle. He had an underground tunnel system created to allow for a quick escape once the system had crumbled, though he never imagined that he would have to run from his own government and the men and women he so admired in the nations military. He would engage his evacuation plans, grabbing a few already packed bags and make his way through the tunnels carrying his smallest child in one arm as he lead his family to the safety of the preloaded truck and escape into the night. Knowing that he had just killed his first of many people, initially it weighed heavily on his mind that he had just murdered someone’s child, though he quickly accepted that they where there to kill him and his children. Thus sobering him up quickly as the truck would vanish into the night, where River went is a mystery though one can assume that he made his way north towards Boston and the Kingsbury compound seeing that he is close friends with the Kingsbury brothers.

          Well from recorded records from his journal during these days, we learn that when the Great Ghost Dance would be unleashed on August 18th 2018. River was not already within a safe location and still on the road, he would document how a wave of magical energy would tear across the land from the beyond followed by an onslaught of spirits that would emerge from the spirit world, this magical ravaging would nearly knock the truck over, he would also observe planes falling out of the sky. River would describe the feeling that would come across his body as if he was dipped in a acid bath, his body would be ravaged by the magic as the spirits would begin to rape his mind and soul. River would be overcome with pain and nearly wreck the truck, though he managed to stave off enough of the torment to pull the vehicle off the road. Though he was unable to fully control his body, as he watched his skin blister and boil as the magical energy tore across him. He could feel his insides churning and he would loose the sight in his left eye as it would boil and pop like an over cooked egg. Though the entire time, he could hear his children screaming and crying he could hear his wife drowning in her own fluids as her lungs would begin to boil. River would muster up all the will he had left in his body, remove his seatbelt and make his way back towards his children to comfort them, as he would leave the seat he was nearly brought to his knees as his skin would tear and crack as he rose to his feet. He howled in pain but his parental instincts overtook him as he threw the curtain back only to be left with the horror of seeing his wife blackened and charred, two of his older children as well roasted though his youngest son was burned but still alive. He headed towards the child, and scooping him up in his arms to hold him close. The pain tore through Rivers body as he would howl out once again, and according to his journals this was the worst thing he could have done. The enemy was near and had heard his cries, also he was badly burned and so was his child he knew better but the emotion of the situation over took his common sense and basic medical training.

        He just held his child close, trying to figure out his next move, he needed to get to a medical centre cause the supplies he had on hand where not meant for these types of wounds. He needed to do something quick about his eye, that was causing him extreme pain and would eventually get infected and cause death quick. He knew he was no where near a city with a hospital, and he also didn’t know who he could trust anymore within the system. He knew this wasn’t a nuclear attack and a magical one since he was a documented physical adept, though he had no idea who unleashed the attack and how profound it was. Though for River his planning period would be quickly interrupted, as he would receive uninvited guests that would tear back the canvas flap of the truck. River would come face to face with a small squad of natives, initially thinking they where there to lend aid, he called out for help. Though this was not the case and he would learn a near fatal lesson on this evening, the native soldiers would enter the truck and converse in their language, pointing at the deceased and laugh. One of the natives a younger man with dark brown eyes and long black hair would reach towards the child that rested in Rivers arms. His son cried and clawed towards his father for protection as the native soldier ripped the boy from his arms, River bellowed as his son was torn from him, was trying to reach for a weapon but do to his blind spot and his muscles rebelling against him he would not reach the weapon in time before the next thing he would see was the but of the soldier weapon coming crashing down on his skull, followed by the bayonet plunging into his stomach. As River laid there slipping away into unconsciousness he would feel the sting of the bayonet a few more times. He would see that his baby boy was forced to watch as his father was being killed, River would slip into the dark of slumber while his son was stolen and taken to parts unknown.

         How he survived the wounds of that night are unknown, though one can say that River never actually survived cause this is when the rise of Enigma would come to be. He would awake laying in a shallow grave, his wounds healed, his body partially restored minus the milky white left eye. His body riddled with scars and only one thought burned through his mind, revenge and for what would be reborn on that night revenge he would have. as he pulled himself out of the shallow grave, his clothing tattered and torn, his hair matted in blood and mud, and his once white dress shirt now stained with his own blood and the blood of his son. He could see the burned out hull of the truck that once held his survival. He was in the middle of nowhere and he had nothing but his journal, a pen and the dagger he had concealed in the small of his back. His wallet gone, his cigarettes covered in blood and mostly destroyed and his lighter nearly empty Enigma was truly lost in the woods and without supplies and without proper attire for surviving long in the wilds. Initially he contemplated suicide by hanging himself with his tie from the tree he rested under, making the shallow grave his forever home. Though he would receive a flash of a memory of his son being stolen by the native soldier, this would be enough to sober him up and thank the Lord above for giving him a second chance. According to his journal he would dedicate the rest of his days to rescuing his son and getting vengeance, and for the soon to be enemies of Enigma they would learn a lesson that nothing is more dangerous than a father with nothing left to loose.

         This is where things get sketchy when it comes to Enigma, this man would keep very loose records during these early days, and even when he did it would be in a short hand that only a politician would understand. Though this would also help the media in dubbing him the Enigma, this man would go onto to become the master of the game, the master of the hunt and the master of the kill. He would bring torture to a new level and he would make people like Jig Saw and the Pedagogue seem like amateurs, Enigma would show the world why they should never anger a man with multiple engineering degrees and as well training in psychology. He would as well prove once again that government should be careful what they train people to do, seeing that it might come back to haunt them one day. This is the case with Enigma, yes he served in the Marine Corps though what is needed to know is this man worked as a Military Police officer that was trained in the arts of prisoner interrogation, he would go onto become one of the best interrogators the military ever saw. He had a special way of breaking people that would be considered torture by any normal standards, but during a time of war and closed doors certain things are overlooked, remember the tyranny of the False Flag was a long time in the making and was already well in place before the turn of the century. So when it came to what the military allowed River to do and what they trained him in is highly classified and as well highly illegal. This man was a sanctioned torturer, he being a patriot had no issue applying his skills on the enemy of America and if punishing a terrorist would garner valuable life saving information, so be it. He might never have actually killed any of his subjects but River surely shortened their lives and may would perish after an intense meeting with him. This is the man that the UCAS tried to assassinate, the Natives tried to murder and yet he survived. He would bring his brand of terror directly to their front door and for Enigma he was no longer playing by any rules and survival was not his concern, he wished to inflict as much pain and suffering on his enemy as he could prior to bringing them to death.

         For the UCAS the survival of River would become a nightmare and the Natives would feel his wrath numerous times, as the master interrogator would use his skills to seek out his child. Though this was not the only thing Enigma would do, this man would as well fight alongside other patriots and confederates and stand back to back with them against the tyranny of the UCAS. He would show the world that he is more then just a politician, that once a Marine always a Marine and that he will never surrender. He would begin using  specialised triple edged combat dagger that once he stuck his enemy, they would die a slow and painful death. This dagger would make any attempt at healing or first aid impossible as it created three triangulated wounds that would not close on there own and even a team of trained surgeons would be hard pressed to close the would safely. Though for Enigma this wasn’t nearly enough suffering for his target. He needed something that couldn’t be closed and if stuck by him death was the only option, he didn’t feel poisons where good enough as they were to humane for his enemy. No Enigma created a specialised blade that contained a hidden barbed hook that would enter nice and smooth, creating the nasty triangle wound. Though once inside the barbs would grab onto flesh, muscle, bone and organs and tear parts of it as he twisted and removed the blade. Leaving a wound that even the researchers of Bio Tech are still trying to figure out how to medically close. Aztec has just given up trying to create a spell that can cure a wound that Enigma causes, and his blade wounds are taught in every medical school as something to look out for, telling would be doctors and nurses that if they see this to just keep your patient comfortable cause there is nothing that can be done to stave off death. This is the type of man that has been unleashed onto the world, a man that has found a way to make a simple stabbing as fatal as a terminal illness and in this day and age of magical, nanite and cybernetic surgeries this would is still that fatal. He uses our own anatomy against us and is the reason it is being studied on such a grand scale, as Enigma isn’t the only one that has figured out this tactic and many of the Wreckers all deploy similar anatomy destroying weapons that frustrate medical personnel all across the globe.

        Though when it comes to this killer, his dagger is the least of your worries he has far worse in his arsenal and they all revolve around him sticking you with one of his pig stickers. each one creating varying degrees of wound patterns. Though when it comes to this man the real danger is when he gets you into his tangled web and begins the torture and interrogation process, according to multiple medical examiners his skills as a torturer are profound and what he does to them are thankfully illegal, though this still is’t a deterrent for Enigma. One of the things this man does is simply slicing into the skin and peeling it back like one would the skin of a chicken. Exposing the nerves and muscles underneath, he then removes the skin like one would a glove and then begins applying his torturous techniques. This includes applying salt to the wound, acid, rubbing alcohol and just pure fire from a blow torch. He injects liquid heat into the eyes of his subject and he carves the exposed meat like one would a Thanksgiving day turkey, though nothing is worse then when he breaks the subjects ribs one by one and removing them from the chest cavity. This creates an issue for the subject as the weight of there own body turns against them, and begins constricting the heart and lungs from functioning properly. As the ribs are removed one at a time the chest muscles begin to concave inwards preventing the subject from breathing and eventually causing the lungs to collapse and it they are lucky bring about cardiac arrest before suffocating to death. This fate is almost a guarantee for his subjects, cause Enigma enjoys watching the suffering of those he deems the enemy. This is also leaves the investigators baffled in how he keeps his victims alive during the process only to kill them in a gruesome manner, Enigma always leaves all the pieces of the victim for the investigators as a gory jigsaw puzzle.

        Now for the final element of this man, he likes to play games with people and these games are a life or death situation. No I am not talking about the ones that Jigsaw uses in the old movie series. No this man plays live action hide and seek, Cowboys and Indians, scavenger hunts and yes he does do some very dangerous traps that involve putting people in situations that they might need to saw of an arm or leg to survive. So okay he might do something’s like that killer from the old movie, though this is not a respect life situation. It’s just his twisted form of justice, these games he plays allow for him to hunt his pray and for his pray to believe they actually stand a chance of survival. Best if the subjects just eat a bullet than play any game that Enigma brings forth, cause death is the only actual outcome. Though his favourite game is the one where he tests to see how much you love your spouse, he restrains both subjects into chairs with access to a remote control. There is a timer that is set for five minutes that is wired to a shot gun that dangles directly over each subjects heads. He then tells them “Lets play a game, how much do you love each other.” The remote has two buttons, one will kill your significant other, while the other button will kill you.” mind you there is only one remote and it is in the husbands hands. He then goes on to tell them that if no buttons are pushed in five minutes both of them will die, though if one of you die the other goes free to live to ripe old age. This is the one game where he does allow for survival of one subject, knowing they have to live with the memory of murdering their own spouse and watching it happen before them. Enigma only targets UCAS nationalists and loyalists to the False Flag with this game, it’s less a conversion tactic and more a mentally damaging game. Surprisingly they are multiple accounts of one spouse surviving this game other then a double murder. Though those that choose this end, normally have children and little do they know their children have already been kidnapped and are no longer in the equation. Enigma doesn’t kill children, though he will allow other parents to suffer as he has with loosing a child in the same manner, he fears no retaliation and retribution for this game. He just enjoys watching the tears flow as they decide who deserves to live and who should die, again this is a form of interrogation as the couple normally revel information to each other before death and seeing he targets UCAS nationalists this at times revels valuable information that he can later expose. Also if the subject ends up being a part of the False Flag, Enigma will never allow them subject to leave the domicile out of a body bag.

          This is the man known as Enigma, he has been waging a bloody personal war against the UCAS and Natives for decades, he has brought his special brand of torture and game playing to a brand new level. All the while working in direct defiance of the established government, they created this man and now they must reap what he sows. The UCAS is so terrified of Enigma that they are directly trying to erase him from the history books, he has vanished from government files, the media has been ordered to never report about this man and even the medical journals have been reprinted to not mention either River Welsh or Enigma when it comes to the wound pattern. They figure if they erase him from the record books, he will just go away, though this is not a movie or story book, this is real life and things don’t work like that. Enigma is quite real and the only way to make sure he is gone for good is to face this demon head on. Though no one will dare to stand toe to toe with the likes of Enigma, even the Welsh family has declined to go against this man, Urban Strike One has been overheard saying no, and many government agents have faced abandonment or treason charges then even dare to challenge Enigma. This man is the master of the game, he is the master of the hunt and he plays by his own set of twisted rules, so when it comes to Enigma death is the only rule that is set in stone.

      He is a father that is bent on revenge and won’t stop till he finds his son, or where his son is buried. He has never given up hope that his child is still alive, though he has become very twisted ever since he rose from his own grave a changed man. This man is a patriot at heart though not officially on there roster of killers. He works alongside some of the most twisted and devastating men the nation has ever seen and he is still a politician at heart. This man is as deadly with his words as he is with his blade, he works alongside his long time friend Splinter and has been a Wrecker for many years, though he prefers to work solo seeing that his fellow Wreckers aren’t as sportsman as he is. Though you can’t really call Enigma a sportsman and he doesn’t play fare, so it might just be best he normally hunts alone. Though currently Enigma works with the Wreckers once again, and he is registered with the Brotherhood of Mercenaries, though I don’t see exactly why this man is allowed to be on that roster. He doesn’t have a shred of honour and has no code at all, it seems that they have just accepted him in their ranks to protect this lone wolf from himself. Enigma being mercenary is very disturbing seeing that they are supposed to remain neutral, and he is far from it. This man must be a member like Wake and is their personal eraser or a very loud message sender, though with Trespass being a Brotherhood member and a Wrecker it seems that Enigma was just accepted do to his connection to a like minded torturer, it seems the Brotherhood has a need for people that know how to break a subjects will and garner information quickly and illegally.

         This man is a bit of a lone wolf, though he has worked with others before and is currently working as member of the Wreckers. Though he doe his best work when he is allowed to remain solo. Though what really bothers me about Enigma is that he is still able to remain free and that the government is trying to cover up this man like they did with many of the Wreckers. They don’t want us to know about him and they don’t want us to be protected from him, they just want us to fall victim to Enigma and thus come to them for help. Well it seems once again their plan will backfire, and they tried to assassinate him back in 2018, he has risen from the grave and terrorised a nation ever since. It also seems that the current administration will have to face a political adversary that is just as skilled as anyone they can produce. With Lyndon Kingsbury being announced as the Forerunner for the Presidential ticket, it has been announced that former Congressman of Virginia River Welsh will be his running mate. This should be bothersome to many, as this means if they win our Vice President will be no other then Enigma with the Beholder being the President. I know that there are those that will argue that we need men like this in command of the nation to restore order, though do we need a man that has zero morales, zero conscience and a master torturer being the second most powerful man in the nation.

         Enigma will not stale his killing if he becomes the Vice President, and the UCAS will be forced to acknowledge their cover up of this man as well as their attempted assassination of him. They will have to deal with a man that will not roll over and die and a man that can more then easily protect himself from any would be assassination attempt again. He is used to being in high profile situations and he is the master of the game, this man will once again rewrite the rules and history will be forever rewritten if Enigma becomes the Vice President. These men are strong willed, they are not part of the system and they are both killers. They should be in prison not campaigning, though I don’t think Enigma will do any campaigning and I can only imagine the Vice Presidential debate between River Welsh and Charles Olson, that moderator will have his hands full wrangling in Enigma and Vice President Olson will have to stare down man that has made a career of killing and torturing UCAS nationals. Will the government try to arrest Enigma at the debate, well if they are stupid they will, this man is handful by himself and don’t think he will be alone the Architects will be nearby. I predict the debate will end abruptly and go off the air, ass a bloodbath will ensue within the studio.

        Well enough about the what if’s, what we know about this man is that he is back in operation, he has been given a second chance at a political career and he has his eyes set on the prize. He is here in Seattle hunting a new target and so the game has begun, will he take his target before the election, will he continue to hunt after the election. This man is a force to be reckoned with and he has once again aligned with his fellow Wreckers, they have come to Seattle to bring forth liberty and strike a blow against the tyranny of the False Flag. What role will the Wreckers play in the election and what role will the Wreckers play in the war of 2074. This man is the game, he wrote his own set of rules and he will bring forth the destruction of everything the UCAS holds dear, he is still looking for his son and he has no morale compass to stop him from sending as many loyalists and solders to the grave, he has come to play the game again and this time are you ready Seattle cause the master has returned and game is on.
