Bio: So it is with a weary heart that I must be the poor soul to revel yet another member of the infamous Brothers Grimm and this member is so twisted and so evil that even Satan himself has turned away from the Taskmaster. This brother is from the Meisner family that has already given us maniacs like Vortex and Everest, and yet the long lost brother of Vortex has been lurking within the shadows ever since the Great Ghost Dance and has been reeking havoc on the UCAS ever since. The Taskmaster is a man without a very soul and he has no concern about using and abusing people to get exactly what he desires, for the Taskmaster it is only a means to an end and this justifies all the abuse he dishes out on a daily basis to those he unwillingly serve this maniac. The Taskmaster has managed to remain off the radar for as long as he has by using unsuspecting victims to perform his dirty work, he has innocent people kill, steal and commit treason for him on a daily basis. These people are forced to perform these nefarious acts or suffer greatly under the wrathful vengeance of the Taskmasters cane. This man fears no retribution from his brainwashed servants and cares little if he sends them to an early grave since, he can easily replace any victim he slaughters. To him people are nothing but livestock and their are a dozen more waiting to serve him eagerly, so for the Taskmaster sending one to slaughter is all part of the game he plays on a daily basis.

        The Taskmaster got his start back in 2018 and has been in action ever since, though their are some reports the indicate this killer has been in operation long before 2018 and when it comes to the Brothers Grimm, I can tend to believe that he is far older and far more powerful the we will ever know. Herbert Meisner originally worked in the government and served inside the Homeland Security Division as both the Director and then the Secretary of Homeland Security for two presidents. This man has been a company man for most of his early adult life and long before he shed his skin and became the terror known as Taskmaster. He served in the United States Marine Corps and then entered the Central Intelligence Agency before moving over the Homeland Security Division after a short stint with the National Security Agency. Lets just say Director Meisner was purview to many of our nations greatest secrets and until the Great Ghost Dance he served the American People with honour and pride. Though now a man that was once in charge of our national security and the ear to the President is now working along side the likes of the Deaths Hand and Freedom Patriots inside the nefarious Brothers Grimm.

        This man has been trained by the best in our government and fully knows how to blend and vanish, torture, brainwash, and assassinate with ease. He traded his conscience in along time ago and ever since the Taskmaster has been on the warpath bringing down anyone that stands in his way, this man has toppled regime after regime and brought many a dictator and warlord to an early grave. People who say that are government doesn’t have sanctioned assassins surly has never read the dossier of Herbert Meisner. This man’s jacket reads like a murder mystery novel and his travel documents place him in exotic locations at the exact time and date of the mysterious disappearance or death of the regions warlord and his council. Everest of the Brothers Grimm might have been a legendary cleaner and assassin, but the Taskmaster is far superior to even the fabled Everest in most instantaneous. The Taskmaster when he was working for the government, was the only man that could easily blend in with the Teflon coated politicians in Washington and in the same breath order the extinction of an entire tribe of people without a care in the world. Do to his callous nature he would become a favoured problem solver for anyone in the ivory tower, and his service record proves that he was more than willing to oblige them but for a price. That price being his own personal gain and advancement through the hallowed halls of the agencies that he would serve and even circumvent with his many actions.

        The Taskmaster would his government contracts and the favours he would accumulate to further his own nefarious plots and this would become evident once he would be appointed Secretary of Homeland Security and use the Patriot Act as his own personal police act. It was during his tenure in the cabinet that Herbert would amass his vast wealth and secure his choke hold over many of the domestic militia groups. He would use the fear of the Patriot Act to manipulate and control these armed terrorists to perform actions for him under the guise of patriotism. The Taskmaster was able to keep himself squeaky clean, as the militia members would fall on his sword. This would allow the Taskmaster to begin to further his political agenda, while staying in the chess game that he started while he was a director of the Homeland and prior to that within the National Security Agency. The Taskmaster would use the fear of terrorism to further his gain, the more the people demanded security, the more the people were willing to sacrifice their civil liberties the tighter his grip became. As the politicians would pressure Herbert to secure the nation, he would be granted more and more power as well creating a bubble that would protect him from any form of prosecution. This man knew exactly what he was doing and as the years slipped by he would end up having control over many of the domestic terrorists, and using them as chess pieces to further his own nefarious end.

      Though for this career politician and assassin, even the Taskmaster has a line that he wouldn’t cross. Yes he might have been able to chock hold the nation and use the corrupt politicians as his personal errand boys. He would become aware of something far more nefarious that was being unleashed and this would go against everything the Taskmaster spent his career setting up. He would learn that the government he was serving and manipulating was about to play their hand, and four aces trumped the full house he was holding, this was the beginning stages of the Great Ghost Dance, the Nights of Blood and the Great Government Cover Up. He would learn that the President, Vice President, Speaker and Majority and Minority leader would fully alley themselves with the Native Americans that where beginning to show signs of an uprising. This was not in his plans and the Taskmaster needed to put an end to the uprising before it would become a problem for him down the road. Though he might have been in a place, to be purview to valuable intelligence, he was left out of the loop when it came to the full details and actions of the incoming disastrous, assassinations and sheer civilian casualties that would follow in the wake of this deadly alliance.

       So according to records and documents that have been recovered during this time, it seems that days before the attacks the leaders of these fringe units would be sent encoded transcripts from the Department of Homeland Security with detailed intelligence of the attacks. People like Archibald Kingsbury, Edward Davis, Warner Buckley, Woodrow McDaniel and Albert Grimm would receive details of the impending attacks and the reports that would implicate the Government in the their alliance, knowledge and direct support of the disasters that would follow. The only issue was do to the government being slow to release information and Herbert not being on the list of trusted advisor’s, he would only find this intelligence out hours not days ahead of time. This would not give the people any time to prepare a counter assault, and barely give them the time to brace for the impact as the natives magic would ravage and rape the country. Causing volcanic eruptions throughout the pacific north west, violent earthquakes throughout the nation and send both wave of magical energy and spiritual assault to slaughter hundreds of thousands of American citizens in a matter of seconds. With the aftermath and after shocks killing thousands of more, what would follow would be when Herbert Meisner would vanish and the Taskmaster would be born.

       Once the smoke would clear and the people where trying to cope with the mass casualties and destruction that had accord in a blink of an eye, both the Native Americans and the American Government would spring into action. Herbert would learn that the military was ordered to seal their bases off from the citizens seeking shelter, as well to be sent out to police the cities under attack, and on the east coast. They where under orders to capture and detain any media personal, government employee that was not on the approved list, paramilitary agencies, true patriots, conspiracy theorists and anyone that spoke out publicly against the current administration. Herbert knew that this was not a list for arrest, but a hit list and the government was using the attacks as a way to call martial law and make these people vanish. Knowing the general citizen would be blind to what was actually under way and would be crying for protection. The Government would use the Patriot Act as there shield, and Herbert would now have to deal with his own policies being used against him. You would think that this man would have been deeply embedded with the system and would be immune to the repercussions of the attacks, but thats where you are wrong. Secretary Meisner never played by the rules, and was a thorn in the side to many in the positions of authority. He knew how to play the game and knew how to manipulate the system to his advantage but this also made him a loose end. Herbert had showed in the past that he doesn’t play well with others and that he would not be willing to play ball with a striping of total freedom and slaughter of the same people he was manipulating and using to further his own agenda. Also his alliance with Albert and Arthur Grimm would make those in power very nervous, painting a bullseye directly on his chest. So as he predicted not minutes after the nation would be ravaged by the natives magic, he would receive a knock on his office door and as he was clearing out his desk, he would be staring down four armed soldiers ready to make Secretary Meisner vanish forever.

        Though the powers that be made one simple oversight in their assassination attempt of Herbert, they forgot to take into account that he was a physical adept and one of the most deadly CIA assassins the company had ever seen. He might have spent many years in Washington as a politician, but Herbert never allowed his skills to rust and he always kept himself in prime shape and keeping his skills sharp. So when the soldiers kicked the door in to his office and unleashed the flash bangs. Meisner has already taken cover under his desk, and more the ready to engage his assailants, when the smoke cleared and the soldiers entered the room with assault rifles at the ready they where not prepared to face a opponent that was as well unaffected by the stun grenades and as well armed with diamond edged katana that was humming with magical energy. The soldiers began opening fire into the room as they spread out into a diamond formation in hopes to murder the politician as he was reeling from the affects of the flash bangs and they could make short work of an skilled target. Well as Meisner took cover under his desk, he counted the footsteps of the soldiers and listened for the tell tale sign of a reload, knowing that all government strike teams worked in the same manner and he would have mere seconds to emerge from his cover and strike down the approaching soldiers. He counted and he knew they would be only a matter of feet from his desk, as they ran out of ammo and this would put them in a wedge formation as two soldiers would hold position at the front of his desk, while the other two would take up the left and right flank and this was when he needed to surprise them with a sudden blinding attack with his blade.

        Secretary Meisner played it cool and waited till he heard the steps coming around his desk, he could hear the sounds of the magazines being cleared. The room filled with smoke from the grenades and acrid sent of gun smoke filled the room as Meisner emerged from under his bullet ridden desk, he swung his blade with suck speed in an upward trajectory catching the soldier on his right side between the legs and driving the blade straight up through his pelvis and straight through his stomach and rib cage, It sliced through the soldiers armour like a hot knife through butter as the poor solider didn’t even know he was dead as he his body slide apart spilling his viscera onto the floor, the other soldiers turned in shock and horror not expecting Herbert to still be alive, thats when he using the momentum he achieved from his first strike he grabbed the handle of his katana with his off hand and using both hands he spun around and  brought the blade screaming down into the second soldier that was near the front of his desk. The blade dug in deep into the soldiers collar bone and kept slicing till it slide free from the other side, the soldier stood their in shock as he took his last breath. Meisner’s body hummed with magical energy as he continued his assault releasing his off hand from the sword he brought the blade up and spun towards the third soldier and in a single strike he cleaved the man’s head clear off his body. As the forth and final solider was raising his weapon towards the Herbert, the soldiers face showed the expression of horror as he witnessed first hand what a well trained adept is capable of and knowing that this was going to be his last day on earth. He attempted to draw down and fire on Meisner, though for the poor solider he would never have the reaction time to be able to even return fire onto his assailant and would be struck with Herbert’s blade. After decapitating the third solider Meisner would once again grab the swords handle with his off hand, using the momentum he had gained with the first three kills he bring the blade up high and as the last soldier was raising his weapon towards Meisner, his sword would connect with all his might directly at the top of the soldiers helmet. cutting through the kevlar weave with ease and slicing the poor solider in two from skull to groin. Meisner would in the same move side kick the body and send it flying into the wall. As the soldier was flying towards the wall unknowing that he was even dead, Meisner just stood their for a few seconds as the body slammed into the wall and split into two pieces. Meisner smirked as he watched the man’s organs slide out of the severed carcass and amass on the floor.

         Once the last enemy had perished, Meisner cleaned the his swords blade off on the clothing of the fallen soldier at his feet then sheathed the weapon as if nothing had ever occurred he picked up his briefcase, hut his top coat on over his blood stained suit and shirt, walked out of his office grabbing his fedora on the way out. His face covered in blood and his shoes leaving bloody foot prints behind him as, he casually walked out of the building as all hell was breaking loose around him. Meisner would vanish into the night that evening, and only to emerge again as the terror known as the Taskmaster, He would learn that his family would be killed, do to their connection to him and he would learn that situation was far bigger then anyone had ever realised, he would learn that powers to be had set into motion something that couldn’t be undone and would eventually lead to full fledge war with the innocent citizens being the pawns of this struggle for power. The Government horrified that they failed to assassinate Herbert in his office and after seeing the video footage would attempt to scorn the Taskmaster by blasting him as a traitor and murderer, though all this did was further his resolve and cause him to dig in deeper into the fight against the Government. This once servant of the eagle was soon to become their worst nightmare.

        The Taskmaster knew that it was to late for any civilities and that the powers that be had gone to far, the people where divided, the military was divided and battles for survival where breaking out all across the nation. Even in DC the powers that be where struggling to hold onto there own power grab as they were learning that some people where not as easy to silence as predicted. The memo that he had faxed out to the various people had allowed them to rally their people and begin to take up arms in defence, as well begin to rescue a vast majority of the people that were targets of government assassins. Do to the Taskmaster the simple take over had turned into a full fledged rebellion and that the American people would not simply just roll over and accept their fate. As the Nights of blood would begin, mercenary’s and rebels would be ready for the attacks and push many native forces out of various cities mostly on the eastern seaboard, where the middle of the county would suffer greatly under the assaults of the larger native forces. Though do to the chaos that would ensue, the powers that be would not be prepared for actions of some within DC like Warpath, Warhawk, and even the Taskmaster as they would almost bring the entire situation crashing down and bring an end to the governments attempt to seize full and unlawful control of the nation.

        With the assassinations of those in direct power by Warpath and Warhawk exposing the tyranny as he fled the city. This would leave the Taskmaster to finish this assault, and attempt to bring piece if not through the use of total power. The Taskmaster would not leave Washington DC in the beginning as he didn’t fear the government strike teams and cared little for the native forces that where rampaging into the city and slaughtering any pale skinned citizen they can across. As his blade drank much native blood that day, and the natives learned quickly that the Taskmaster was one gringo that was not to be engaged, and just avoid him at all costs. Though during this time, when most of the nation was under a communication blackout, Meisner was still able to use his cellular phone do to his government connections. He quickly removed the tracking and listening device inside the phone and made one phone call to a man that he knew would be on his side and had his ear directly to the streets. He would contact the concierge of crime, a man that was also deeply involved in the political scene and was a direct ally of his. He would contact the Secretary of Defense Mr. Woodrow McDaniel, knowing that he would have the ability to shut the pentagon down and as well help in the ceasing of this needless assault.

      The two men spoke briefly on the phone and agreed to meet at a local coffee house to discuss their plans to end this assault. Taskmaster made his way directly to the agreed meeting location deep with the ghettos of DC, knowing that the location would be safer then anywhere else. Since the natives and government forces wouldn’t strike this troubled region do to the large gang presence. Gangs are not known for just rolling over, and any chance they would have to strike out at the government they would through caution to the wind and come out shooting. So the blood stained Taskmaster entered the coffee house, he would be greeted by a suspicious glares from the patrons not used to seeing a pale skinned gentlemen enter there establishment let alone one well dressed and blood soaked. The Taskmaster glanced around and noticed that Secretary McDaniel was already waiting for him in the rear of the coffee house, he was flanked by an African American dressed in professional attire, and obviously packing heat. Mr. McDaniel was seated in the booth drinking his coffee as he waived the Taskmaster over. As Meisner approached Mr. McDaniel rose and extended his hand, like normal he was immaculately and smartly dressed and blatantly caring a large pistol under his suit jacket. Meisner shook his hand and greeted his old friend. As Taskmaster got seated a young waitress brought a steaming cup of coffee to the table for Herbert and then quickly left, Woodrow then looked up at the imposing gentlemen on his flank, he raised two fingers on his left and thats all his guard needed to see as he began to clear the place out. Telling the patrons that it was time to leave and that the coffee house would be closed for renovations, the people at first ignored his request though once he drew a very larger pistol from under his jacket the people got the idea and started to vacate. The guard quickly went to the door flipped the sign and turned the lock, as another elderly gentlemen emerged from the kitchen area. The presence of the new patron initially unnerved Herbert, though he figured it was one of Mr. McDaniel’s people. The gentlemen was barley tall enough to see over the counter, dressed in a black suit and tie, his face showed the signs of age as the lines on is face where deep and profound. He only said a few words to the man at the door, “Dembe, the rear has been secured.” he then tapped the bulge under his jacket. Dembe responded with “Front as well secure Mr. O’Doyle, though we only have 10 minutes before the police arrive.”

       Meanwhile at the table the two began to speak about there plans and what needed to be done, two friends and two members of the cabinet initially started off with small talk till Mr.O’Doyle spoke up “Sir, we don’t have time for civil niceties.” Woodrow just nodded and said, well lets just get to the point Taskmaster.” The use of that name took Meisner by surprise but he quickly shook it off knowing that he was sitting across from a close friend and the infamous Mr. Black. Woodrow continued, “First off, I was usurped within the pentagon like you were in the homeland, the powers that be fear men like us for they can not control us. They want the yes man, and we are not those men. we are men of action and I can guarantee you that they will be dealing with a partial military uprising as I have been able to pass word to a few locations before the phone lines in my office went dead.” The two men continued to speak about how they needed to strike at the heart of the order, and that they needed to breach the Pentagon again and send out a broad communication on the national broadcast channel to the nation. They needed to use the pentagon’s radios since they were powerful enough to reach across the nation and also would be the only communication network that was not being silenced by the government goons.” The Taskmaster also offered as secondary strategy that they flood the DC underground with a noxious gas that would render all within the protected vaults and shelters a sudden case of death as well as strategically timed assault on the capital.” This would render all those involved with the power play that went to the vaults for protection would be dealt with, and the assault on the Capital building would take care of those that remained or where slow to seek shelter.

        The two men agreed that this was the best alternative and as they finished their meeting, they agreed that they would meet at the carpool near the Pentagon in an hour. Mr. McDaniel and his goons slipped out the back as Meisner exited from the front puling his cell phone out he began dialling his phone reaching out to another friend and contact that he knew was in the city, a man more then capable of supplying and handling the gaseous death machine they needed at such a short notice. Meisner barley got to his car before he was knocked to his feet from a sudden explosion, he turned and saw that the coffee house was nothing but rubble and engulfed in flames. As Meisner picked himself up, he could hear his contact and friend on the other end of the phone as he reached down to pick it up “Cheerio old chap.” Meisner put the phone to his ear and entered the car, preparing to vacate the scene of the crime. He continued his conversation, “Ah yes old friend, you still in DC.” on the other end “Unfortunately yes, all bloody hell is breaking loose. I am in the process of packing up to evacuate.” Meisner “Well, I have something I need you to help me with. It will be more then worth your time, and I will pay you double for the trouble.” The Englishman on the other end “You have my full attention, my good man.” so Meisner continued on with the plan, explaining how they needed someone to unleash a highly lethal toxic gas into the filtration systems of the under city vault structures. As he drowned on with the plan, he could almost sense the crazy Englishman he was speaking with loosing his focus s he cold hear the clanking of metal. The Englishman cut Meisner off abruptly with “Consider it done old chap, it sounds like it will be jolly fun indeed, just transfer 500,000 dollars into my account old man and it’s a deal.” there was a pause for a few seconds as Meisner began to access his account, when the voice on the the other end chimed up again. “Well since it’s against you good old yanks, make it 250,000.” He then started laughing and the sound of clanking metal continued in the background. Meisner agreed to the terms chuckling, I knew I could count on you Chemist, you crazy old Brit. Meisner began the transfer of funds and gave him the further details and explained the time frame, as soon as the money was transferred Meisner hung up and prepared to contact another one of his friends for the second stage of the attack.

       As Meisner was on route to the carpool, he dialled his phone once again reaching out to another friend of his, a man that would as well have the man power to lend a helping hand to the siege of the capital building. As well this gentlemen wouldn’t ask questions and owed Meisner a few favours for some government contracts he secure for him in the past. So it would only be the sacrificing of muscle and to Meisner that was a worthy trade off. He reached out to his friend Albert Grimm also known as Asmodeus on the streets, Albert picked up the phone quickly, Meisner quickly cut the social niceties short, saying he didn’t have the time for social graces. Albert mentioned I assume you are calling in a favour, in regards to what is going on, Herbert answered abruptly and explained the situation and the plan to his friend and ally; ending with I do hope you have the man power in the city to assist. Albert responded, yes I do and I will send some of my eager children to the capital building armed and ready to kill in the name of freedom. After this we are square, as I am sacrificing many good men to help you Herbert. He agreed once again to the terms and then he fully explained the plans and when to have his men strike. Giving him the orders to leave no one alive, kill and keep killing until the hallowed halls run red in rivers of blood. Albert laughed, I can make sure that is arranged and I will give you a bonus for free my friend. I will see if my brother Arthur is interested as well as my dear friends Yale and Sherman would be wanting some payback. Herbert responded with excellent Albert, I owe you a steak dinner after this is all over. The two men had a long hard laugh and hung up. Meisner put his phone away as he pulled into the carport, to meet up with Mr. McDaniel and his men that were already there standing by an black late 90’s cargo van. All hell was breaking out all round them, the city was in chaos, gunfire could be heard in the distance as the two once government agents stood face to face preparing to siege one of the most secure buildings in the nation and strike directly at the heart of the nations military. For Meisner this was payback, and for McDaniel this was going to be both sweet revenge and as well business as normal, Meisner explained that he took care of the second stage of the attack and it should be under way shortly. McDaniel clasped his hand, smiled and said excellent Taskmaster, this will be our blow for Lady Liberty. With that the Meisner, McDaniel, Mr. O’Doyle, Dembe a man that introduced himself as Mr. Murdock and another older professionally dressed gentlemen that introduced himself as Mr. Dean along with a handful of obviously hired guns. Meisner just looked over Mr. Murdock and Mr. Dean, thinking that those men look better suited for the classroom or boardroom then a battlefield, but hell he also didn’t fit the bill of a serious professional killer if one judged a book by it’s cover.

       Well the events that occurred inside the Pentagon on that day are lost to history and even though I have been able to uncover many documents and journals from most of the players of the operation, including encrypted audio recordings of the phone conversations that transpired. I have been unable to retrieve any video documentation of the assault. It’s almost as if it never existed, though we know the mission happened and it is considered a day of remembrance in the UCAS as countless lives where lost for what appeared to be an act of treason against our nation. The men assaulted the Pentagon with such speed and ferocity that the soldiers guarding the building never stood a chance and fell one by one and littered the halls like discarded balls of crumpled paper. As the men assaulted the Pentagon, the blood of our soldiers and civilians ran like a river between Mr. McDaniel and his intimate knowledge of the Pentagons inner workings and the computer skills of Mr. Murdock they where able to reach and access the broadcast booth. Both Secretary McDaniel and Secretary Meisner entered there access cards and uploaded a pre-recorded distress call sent out all across the nation from sea to shining sea, the nation heard the voices of the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland tell the citizens to distrust the government, rise up and defend yourself from any and all suspected agents of the current regime. They also warned the people of the incoming native attacks and to seek shelter where ever you can, war has come to American soil and we are now fighting directly for our way of life. Before long sounds of gunfire could be heard in the background of the message, as it went from pre-recorded to spoken. Mr. Murdock’s voice can be heard saying we have company and they do not look pleased, seems they don’t want to invite us to dinner before the broadcast went back to an recorded loop of the previous message. Now we know that Mr. Murdock, Mr. Dean, Mr. O’Doyle, Dembe, Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Meisner made it out of the building without injury though the hired guns laid dead and discarded in the blasted inner sanctum of the Pentagon.

       Meanwhile across town, the Chemist and the Children of Asmodeus were hard at work with the second stage of the Taskmasters plan. According to the Chemist things would have been for naught had it not been for Arthur also known as Slimer, Yale also known as the Pharmacist and Sherman also known as the Shyster. the additional support of three highly skilled combatants allowed for the maximum impact to be felt within the capital building and cause countless lives to be lost of many senators, and congressman that where ruthlessly butchered by the heartless killers. As they left the capital building with bullets exploding all around them, the Shyster chanted some old archaic words and tossed a massive fireball into the building causing once again for our Capital to burn and trapping the innocent souls inside to deal with the Chemists and the Pharmacists toxins that had been unleashed inside. The Three men slowly walked down the capital steps as explosions erupted around them screams echoed through the night, and as Slimer pulled out a cigar part of the flag that once flew proudly on the dome of the capital gracefully fell to ground in front of them. Slimer leaned down and ignited his cigar with the burning flag, and said “All in a day’s work my friends.” as they would one by one vanish into the night.

      The Taskmaster could hear the emergency broadcast, echoing throughout the streets from the cities many speakers he could see the glow in the distance of the burning capital and knew that they had given this new regime a black eye and hopefully struck hard enough to topple it before it would grow. Though we all know that all they did was strengthen the resolve of our government and cause them to rise once again, stronger then before and all the needless killing of the innocent lives in DC was all it took to rally the people behind our broken leaders. The nation mourned and still mourns the death of the President, Vice President, and all the Congressman and Senators that perished at the hands of those terrorists. Not to mention all the lives that where lost during the raid on the Pentagon, we were told to accept our native friends and not resist in anyway, if the people had just listened to our trusted leaders instead of radicals the amount of innocent lives that where lost would have been minimal and the Ghost Dance was not a real thing, yet it was the eruptions and earthquakes that caused all the death and destruction. The Ghost Dance is a fable that is told by those that wish to seek harm on our native friends. This could  have all been prevented if Meisner and others like him had just left well enough alone and allowed for progress to move forward instead of holding onto the outdated ideals of raciest’s, and bigots.

      Well this will not be the last time we will have to deal with the Taskmaster, and his corruption and manipulative ways. This man will rise to power many times throughout the next fifty plus years and with each time, he will remain cloaked in the shadows using the innocent to perform his dirty work, The Taskmaster cares little for anything other then toppling the system that was built out of the chaos he and his old timer friends caused in August of 2018 and he will not rest nor will he ever submit to the will of the proper authority. The Taskmaster has involved himself with the Civil War, and once he got involved in the war that ripped our nation in two it was almost certain that the UCAS would loose. The Taskmaster still knows the Federal District like he knows the back of his hand and this man has connections to many of the worlds criminal originations, terrorist cells and freedom fighters that all look up to this man as if he is a God and will follow any command he gives with zealous further and even sacrifice themselves in the process. All knowing that if the Taskmaster is displeased, death is a blessing cause he is a brutal man that will beat his subjects to the brink of death only to have them beg him to put them out their misery as they don’t deserve to live. He is quick to oblige them and bring them to there end in a brutal fashion. This man see’s people as livestock and puts no value on life, as to him we are nothing but tools to be used and then discarded when broken or outdated, why people follow this man’s whim to the end of the earth is unknown, but this is why he would become a serious power player during the Civil War and with his countless zealous subjects, and his vast knowledge of the Federal District, including the Pentagon, Capital Building, NSA building and the White House. He was able to secure surgical strikes on these locations daily by throwing his living bombs at them, he was able to apply enough pressure at one location he would weaken the security at another, that would allow him to slip past the security and strike once again at the throat of the government. He would be able to steal documents, slaughter soldiers, and kill our commanders keeping a continual rotation of generals and admirals so that when it came to the war our military would be hoping from one foot to another as troop movements and other tactile data would vanish and nobody could seem to stop the Taskmaster. The military and police would kill his men and it seemed the more they killed the more he would have swarm to his side and loyally sacrifice themselves, understanding that they where disposable and to die for their harsh taskmaster would be a honour.

        Now it wouldn’t just be do to the Taskmaster that the Civil War was won by the Confederates, between their southern tenacity, The Brothers Grimm, Bogeyman, The Brotherhood of Mercenaries under General Buckley and even the Freedom Patriots getting involved along with many other freelance agents that would rather see the Stars and Bars rise then a total domination under what they called the False Flag. The Civil War was along hard fight but would eventually become a victory for the south as the UCAS would be forced to surrender under the pressure of further attacks directly at there homeland and the war was loosing popularity with the people do to the issue of brother killing brother that plagued the nation during the first Civil War back in the 1800’s. Though again this wouldn’t be the last time we would have to deal with the Taskmaster and his brood of mindless drones, this man would continue to apply the pressure in the Federal District to the point that new laws needed to put in place to keep civilians away from certain locations and allow the security and military forces to use lethal force at even the threat of one of the Taskmasters children being in the area. Needless to say this didn’t make the government popular, cause once the Taskmaster got wind of this he would set up an event that will go down in history as the Great Christmas Massacre of 2030. He knew that the White House had been closed to the people do to the new laws and no citizen was allowed within 100 yards of the fence, so what this monster did was he rallied together hundreds of citizens from all over to converge on the White House in a candle light service. He then mixed in his own brainless servants into the crowd, knowing that the military guards would see the Taskmasters people and under direction from there commanders they would open fire into the crowd of innocent civilians. That were just gathering for a prayer service at the fence of their White House, well according to survivors of that night as the faithful light their candles and a light snow began to fall as they broke out into the classic war time Christmas hymn “Silent Night” peace could be felt throughout the crowd when one of the Taskmasters people slowly stepped into the kill zone sacrificing himself for the betterment of the cause. A nervous young soldier named Richard Fellows got nervous and just following orders he opened fire with his automatic rifle in the direction of the straggler, no warning given, just a hail of gunfire into the direction of the wondering citizen. His bullets ripped into the citizen, the preacher and countless others causing a mass panic and as the crowd began to run in every witch direction even more soldiers began to open fire on the panicking crowd. causing a already bad situation to turn into a tragedy as hundreds lay broken, bleeding, dying or dead from their own governments soldiers. A government that these people gladly supported and what made this even worse for those in power was that it was caught live on camera from multiple media sources that where their reporting on the peaceful Christmas service.

       When the people demanded justice for the senseless slaughter, the government handed over 18 year old private Richard Fellows as the sacrificial lamb to face the murder charges of hundreds of innocent souls. This poor private just 18, would not live to see his 20th birthday as he was publicly executed by hanging at the base of the Washington Monument in the countries first public execution in over a century. He would be hung to death on the eve of his birthday and his lasts words where a tear filled apology to the families of the victims. The nations blood lust sedated, but for the Taskmaster this was just the start and he would continue to exploit these new laws that where put in place do to him. He would send many an innocent to the gallows and cause the deaths of countless citizens, this would continue like this for ten years till the people outraged with all the senseless slaughter would pressure their law makers to remove the statute in place again thus opening the door wide open for the Taskmaster to strike directly at the throats of those inside DC.

       It wouldn’t be as bad if this man only struck at the Federal District, though he as well had his sights set on Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and New York. So even when the laws in the Federal District where keeping the Taskmaster somewhat at bay for the time being he was able to continue his wrath on other major cities throughout the Nation and Denver would burn on a number of occasions as well riots breaking out throughout many of the nation cities. The Taskmaster could care less about the innocent lives, all he wanted to do was make sure the country burned and those that he claims stole the power and murdered his friends and family would pay the ultimate price with their lives. The events that would transpire in the other cities are nothing special, just senseless killing. Though some of the events would fall in time with a shadow operation, keeping the authorities busy elsewhere and allowing the runners to succeed. Though his main focus was and still is with the hallowed halls of DC and it seems that the Taskmaster considers this town to be his yard and he is the big dog.

      The Taskmaster does have one mortal enemy that has been plaguing him for many a year and thus the only reason that he has not been fully able to cripple the Federal District and this man is known by many who view this sight as Legion and the Taskmaster has been hunting this man ever since his brother Everest failed to kill him many years earlier. They claim that this man is the lynch pin in this thing called the False Flag and European Legion, they claim that if they bring him down everything will crumble around him. Though we know that our system is not going to crumble if one man is killed, so I feel again they are preaching there hateful rhetoric and for some reason have pegged this innocent soul as public enemy number one. Though sadly for Legion he nearly meet his demise the one and only time he engaged the Taskmaster in a duel, the Taskmaster made short work of Legion and schooled him in the art of sword play, quickly breaking his focus and severing Legions sword arm and both his legs in two quick strikes of his sword. The Taskmaster then drove his sword through Legions chest, and was pulling the blade up through his chest cutting him in twine before a beaten Legion looked up at Taskmaster, smiled and vanished from thin air. Leaving Taskmaster standing their with a blood soaked sword glowing bright blue and dripping Legions blood onto the ground as sirens could be heard in the distance. Though according to eyewitnesses and the video surveillance of the duel, before the Taskmaster sheathed his blade and slipped into the shadows, the blood on his sword was absorbed causing the blade to glow even brighter and the ring on his left hand as well began to glow the same deep blue. The Taskmaster then vanished into the night with a cat that just ate the canary look on his face, he was long gone by the time the police arrived and the case is still ongoing.

       Now back to this man, and his antics we know that the Taskmaster is to blame for the many assassinations that have accord in the Federal District and the steady stream of attacks that haunt the Homeland Division, and the NSA building. It seems that the Taskmaster is nor done causing problems for his old stomping ground, the problem with this is that he is able to slide into these buildings with ease and steal and kill whomever he wants. Nobody can seem to stop the Taskmaster from entering these buildings and even with a tighter security it just doesn’t seem to matter. Though as the years have progressed this maniac has gotten worse and his children seem to be growing in number, you can’t go anywhere in the Federal District without running into one of his loyal subjects that have begun to worship this man as a god,.It’s like the Cult of the Man in White in Seattle just on a larger scale within the Federal District, and these fanatics know that he is at war with the establishment and are more then willing to die for their Lord and Master even though they may never have met the Taskmaster they blindly follow this man straight to their graves. The Taskmaster is more then willing to allow these subjects to lay their lives down for him, so he can continue his assault on the district. Also what is bothersome is that these cults are springing up in Denver, Seattle, Butte, Los Angeles and Portland Maine, so it seems that the legend of the Taskmaster has grown and his grasp over peoples very minds and souls has become so strong that he can now plague multiple cities at the same time.

       Though in the present, with the Confederate forces occupying the Federal District, you would think this would bother a man that considers the Federal District to be his yard, but remember one of those name he alerted of the attacks back in 2018, yes the Taskmaster has contact with then Klu Klutz Klan Grand Wizard Edward Davis and now President Davis of the Confederate States of America. He is friendly with the ball of anger that rules both the KKK and the Sons of the True Confederacy, a man that was elected President of the Confederacy and now there is no man brave enough to run against Davis. The Taskmaster is fine with the Davis’s forces occupying the Federal District cause it allows him to continue his work in the city and one day he can watch as the FDC burns again. The Taskmaster and Davis are working as a symbiotic relationship, each one benefiting the other. The Taskmaster wants the city to burn and those that support the False Flag to perish and Davis wishes the same so each man’s agenda is mutually beneficial and as the Taskmaster continues to strike the government buildings, and having his children creating chaos keeping the police busy thus allowing the Confederate forces to become victories throughout the city. Also it appears that the current administration learned nothing from the past and has not only reinstated the Taskmaster’s friend Woodrow McDaniel as Secretary of Defence,the gave him the ability to create a special division of the Department of Defence called the Post Office. Though he might not be within the Pentagon, this has as well allowed the Taskmaster to gain access to many locations that would be barred from him and according to my records it seems that the Taskmaster is part of this Post Office now and again the two Secretaries are working side by side once again. This means that the Taskmaster will have ultimate access to any government location, he will be able to strike at any servant of the government and their is nothing anyone can do.

       It seems that the Federal District is going to have to weather a very serious storm in the coming days, the Post Office is so deeply embedded into the system that it will be unable to roosted any time soon. The Confederates are on the verge of victory, the Presidential race between Lyndon Kingsbury a direct connection to the Freedom Patriots is going to be a landslide for Lyndon if nothing changes with the polls, and finally their is the beast known as the Taskmaster who holds the entire city in the palm of his hand. So I can say this that the times are changing as the people are getting sick of this war and with Lyndon promising to bring peace to the nation, and bring down the crippling regime of the False Flag, he is promising to restore Liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all citizens of the United States of America. Then you have the Taskmaster watching, and waiting for the right moment to strike for this man he is patient and he already has the city held hostage. So for him it is only a matter of time, the assassinations will continue as he will keep sending any elected official to there grave that blindly support the False Flag. Then you have the ultimate wildcard being the best friend and direct supporting ally of the Taskmaster and that man is not Woodrow McDaniel, not Albert Grimm, yes these men are his friends but there is a darker presence lurking within the shadows of the Federal District one that only the Taskmaster and now yours truly knows about that has stepped into the arena and has stepped up to the right hand of the Taskmaster. This man is world renown assassin, slayer of entire cities and a man that is feared throughout the known world this man is known simply as Splinter. I will report more on Splinter on his profile, but it appears that this time the Taskmaster just played his hand and exposed a royal flush, and with Splinter at his side he just called the governments bluff.
