The Confederate States had been in existence for nearly 20 years. During those years they have been condemned by many pro-Wyld states and agencies for their atrocities, their most well known is the active enslavement of the Wyld who were either born or through bad luck, wind up there.
There is a man of infamy who sets on the top of their military ranks. His name is General Jackson Bigsby Wells. If there is anyone any more respected in the eyes of anti-Wyld activists anywhere, it’s him. The time was Christmas in 2013. Much like today the Wyld were persecuted, segregated, and often times looked at as second class citizens, but Wells was the first one to go so far as to exterminate them altogether. Most countries, Pro-Wyld or Anti-Wyld, still have uses for their talents, even if many humans who reside there refuse to believe it.
The Wyld call him the final great evil of Nostradamus’s quatrains, after the other two suggested evils Hitler and Napoleon. He was the major player of the Wyld Purge, who totally decimated the former capitol city of Columbus, Ohio. That was also the last known whereabouts of the Wyld hero Gun, who was declared dead only days later.
After the event, he quickly began to rise amongst the ranks of the Confederacy. Many international communities, even those with little sympathy for the Wyld, were calling for his court martial. The incident left turned the city into a ghost, and many civilians, even humans, were caught in the crossfire. However seeing as the there was increasing partisanship amongst the various nations of the international committee they were too weak to actually carry out such orders. Suddenly, during the spring of 2014 the current General of the Confederate Army, Robert McCaig, was found dead; the cause of death to this day is unknown. This gave precedence to the young 25 year old Wells, whose popularity all but ensured him the title. He’s held onto it for nearly 10 years.
Which brings us to the major news that we are about to bring you today. I was looking over my emails last week and something caught my eye. It came from a mysterious person with the username “Phoenix.” I didn’t understand anything until I clicked the message. It read:
I have made many mistakes in my lifetime. The things I’ve seen, the atrocities I’ve created. I can never fully atone for the crimes I’ve committed. I can at least take solace that I’ve realized the errors of my ways, and hopefully this information may provide better insight into the wretched viper’s next that is the Confederate Military. Herein retells the final recordings of the late General Robert McCaig. If there was one thing he was he was cautious, never trusting anyone. These will finally uncover the truth behind the General’s death.
The things I heard on these recordings were unbelievable, to say the least. I had made them available to many of our readers online, but as we all know a lot of our Wyld friends may not have the technology needed to access them for themselves. That’s why I decided to post a transcript of the recordings in this latest issue of our newspaper. Please forgive some of the derogatory statements below.
(0:00)- Recording begins
(0:15)- *The sound of a door being knocked was heard.*
(0:18)- {McCaig}- Come in.
(0:22)- *Door shuts*
(0:25)- {McCaig}- At ease. Commander Wells. What brings you here at this hour?
(0:33)- {Wells}- Permission to speak freely, sir.
(0:37)- {McCaig}- Granted.
(0:39)- {Wells}- I heard an unsettling rumor you were actually about to release over 500 Wyld slaves back to their home countries as a sign of good will. Is that true?
(0:48)- {McCaig}- *sighs* A long time ago I grew up with the respect and admiration of my Southern heritage. Good ol’ Johnny Rebel. God, Family, Country. When our country decided to secede for the second time I was right there with them, ready to defend our land from any beast that may defile our great nation.
(1:04)- (Wells)- And you did that with such grace and honor!
(1:11)- {McCaig}- Yes…I believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I went to church weekly. I heard the preachers, screaming about the endtimes, the day of judgment and the end of days. I heard with such conviction the Wyld were the first sign. That as Christians it was our duty to fight them in God’s name.
(1:25)- {Wells}- Is that not what we are doing?
(1:32)- {McCaig}- That’s what I wanted to believe. That’s what kept me going after all these years- that belief that my actions were making a difference. But now…
(1:42)- {Wells}- Now what sir?
(1:47)- {McCaig}- Don’t you see Jackson? Our hands are stained! Bloodied from the loss of so many lives back on that very day!
(1:56)- {Wells}- You speak of the Purge?
(2:00)- {McCaig)- An entire city, ruined! Within one week! Over 200,000 people, killed! Where’s the justification in that?
(2:07)- {Wells}- You do humanity injustice by even considering them to be “people, General.”
(2:13)- {McCaig}- Damn it, Jackson! They were civilians! Women and children! Many of them Human! No sign of magic or witchcraft from them!
(2:22)- {Wells}- Sometimes a few accidental deaths happen. That’s war- that’s inevitable.
(2:30)- {McCaig}- And that child? That girl you were about to put a bullet through?
(2:37)- {Wells}- That “thing” was Gun’s little “daughter.” After I ran my knife through his stomach she runs all frantic, screaming ‘Daddy! Daddy!’ Come on, General!
(2:49)- {McCaig}- She was thirteen!
(2:51)- {Wells}- Then kill her before she turns!
(2:54)- *few seconds of silence*
(2:59)- {Wells}- Don’t you think that there was some reason for Gun being all attached to that little brat!? She must have some hidden potential, something that made him want to raise her!
(3:06)- {McCaig}- Or maybe he actually loved her! Had you thought about that before almost blowing off her head!?
(3:12)- *silence*
(3:20)- {Wells}- You’ve gotten soft, old man. And how you’re sounding, I don’t believe you made her slave fodder either.
(3:26)- {McCaig}- She is staying with me, Wells. The only reason I even stated I would send her away was just so you’d stop from murdering her.
(3:35)- {Wells}- So then these rumors about the released Wyld were true then?
(3:40)- {McCaig}- We’re in a shitload of trouble, Wells. The International Community is coming down on our heads. These type of things don’t just vanish in thin air. Such displays could cause a swift rebuttal. Other nations could get involved, and bring our nation to our knees.
(3:52)- {Wells}- Then let them come! I’ll take them all on!
(3:55)- {McCaig}- Don’t be foolish. You might be impressive, as in fact, maybe the most powerful human being I’ve ever met, if it’s true you have no Wyld powers.
(4:02)- {Wells}- You DARE compare my talents to one of those?
(4:06)- {McCaig}- It’s time to let this end Jackson. Our Government doesn’t want this to break out into a gigantic World War. And I don’t want to be the one who would have caused it.
(4:14)- {Wells}- So that’s it? All that we fought for, for all the land we acquired, for all the beasts we’ve vanquished…for all the lives taken. We quit now over only one, stupid, threat!?”
(4:26)- {McCaig}- I will not have any more blood on my hands, Commander.
(4:30)- {Wells}- No more blood? After all the blood you’ve let? My God, you are drenched in it! Drowning in it! You are a walking, living, breathing puddle of blood! And now you desire no more? You’re hands will never be clean, General.
(4:48)- {McCaig}- You’re out of line, Commander.
(4:52)- {Wells}- Perhaps I am, and I would take responsibility for my transgressions…if I had a true leader, and not this sorry sack of shit sitting here in front of me!
(5:00)- {McCaig}- That’s enough Commander.
(5:03)- {Wells}- So, what’s made you so soft, General? Is it all the fighting. The death? Perhaps God? Ha! I’ve seen many Angels these last few months. God’s children, ha! I’ve ripped their wings off as I pushed them off ledges. Just another Wyld freak, just like the rest of them!
(5:15)- {McCaig}- You’re disgusting.
(5:18)- {Wells}- Oh, now I know! It’s that little bitch I should’ve killed, wasn’t it? That so called child! You must’ve really gotten attached to her!
(5:26)- {McCaig}- Guards! Guards!
(5:30)- {Wells}- Save your breath, General. I don’t think they’re going to come to rescue you at this point. Hard to breathe with a slit throat, you know?
(5:38)- {McCaig}- You really have gone crazy, haven’t you?
(5:41)- {Wells}- Now, General, let’s not talk about me now. I’d rather talk about your new “daughter”, and the joy I’ll get as I feel the warmth drain from her as I take her life.
(5:49)- {McCaig}- Don’t you dare do that to her!
(5:53)- {Wells}- Listen to me General, or Bob. Can I call you Bob? No need to be all formal, seeing that you’re most likely gonna die in the next few minutes anyway. So with that, I’ll cut this real short: I don’t care about your country, about the Confederate States of America. I used to, but it's surprising how the death of a love one can change your mindset so drastically. If the Confederate States of America were to be destroyed tomorrow without even the slightest sign of their existence I wouldn’t mind. My goal is simple. I want them all dead. Every single being, that even remotely appears to be Wyld. Dead. Nothing more will suffice. And if anyone, and I mean ANYONE, gets in my way, I will kill them. After all I’ve been through it doesn’t matter whether its God or anything else that approves of my goal, it will be done. That’s all the meaning my life has now.
(6:11)- {McCaig}- I feel so sorry for you, Jackson.
(6:17)- {Wells}- So do I, Bob. I feel sorry for myself every day of this meaningless existence. Oh? Am I seeing something? Are reaching underneath your desk? A gun, perchance? If I was just a little bit more full of myself it may have worked, but I can see right through you. But, hey, I’m a sporting man! I’ll give you the first opportunity to draw first! Just like the Old West! Hey! I’ll do you one better! I’ll stand back, and not even use my gun.
(6:33)- *sounds of him emptying the clip from his gun and set it on his desk*
(6:40)- {Wells}- There. Just me and my knife. You know what they say- don’t bring a knife into a gunfight? Well, clearly the odds are drastically in your favor.
(6:45)- *a few seconds of silence*
(6:55)- {Wells}- What’s a matter? Nervous? I don’t see how; the whole thing is stacked against me. Yet one can’t help but wonder. I mean, you seem to be sweating, after all. Perhaps it’s a little hot in here? I guess I’m so excited I kind of didn’t realize it. Or is it cold, seeing that you’re shaking rather uncontrollably?
(7:06)- *silence*
(7:10)- {Wells}- So how’s that little movie running inside of your head? You know, the one about your life flashing right before your eyes? The atrocities you’ve committed, the lives you’ve taken, the very blood you wish you could wash right off from your very hands. From a servant of God to Pontius Pilate. How does it feel to be damned? You don’t have to tell me, I know. I’ve lived the past 4 months knowing.
(7:25)- *silence*
(7:30)- {Wells}- I haven’t all night, General. Do you need a pep talk? Here, how about this one? About the fantastic games that me and your little girl will play? I tell you, they will be a hoot, I’ll tell you that.
(7:40)- * Gun fires, a thump was heard, apparently McCaig’s head slammed into his desk and he collapsed onto the floor*
(7:55)- {Wells}- Well, looks like knife wins. Sorry to break it to you pal. Maybe you can try luck again next life.
(8:02)- {McCaig}- …Si…enna…
(8:10)- {Wells}- *apparently on walkie talkie* This is Commander- ahem- General Jackson Wells. I would like to have the body of former General McCaig disposed of. The girl? Bah! She’s of no import to me, just a shame I couldn’t kill her when I had the chance. No. Go find her, and do to her what you wish, I could care less. I have a little get together in Nashville tomorrow. Have to persuade a couple “high fliers” to see things my way. I’m sure they’ll agree. I guarantee it.
A few minutes later the recording ends. All that was left on the recording was bone chilling silence. Even after stopping it the chill seems to persist within the air surrounding me. Never had I reported on something so intense. Yet, this is only the latest example of the negative effects Wyld discrimination has upon this world. The ironic thing was, today this victim, as far as I can tell, wasn’t Wyld at all, but a human, one who saw the error of his ways, shot down by one who couldn’t seem to let the hatred go as it drove him to insanity.
Obviously condemning Wells isn’t enough. The fact that he indirectly controls a country is just as repulsing. The lack of involvement by the UN only makes me more frustrated. But it also serves as a valuable point. Wyld discrimination isn’t some form of bias. It’s a disease, a pandemic stretching all across the globe, separating the good from the bad, drawing lines in the sand, and effectively creating two separate worlds that refuse to even work together for a common goal. Wells’s conviction may perhaps be a major day for Wyld and Wyld sympathizers, but it will only be the first step. We must rise up, in hopes that one day Wyld discrimination is finally snuffed out for good.

*Purr* ^_^
*HuggleSnuggleHappytailswish* <3
Wyld Executioner
But will another step up to lead the Anti-Wyld army?
May Your Light Forever Shine
Well, Jackson is leading the Confederate Army at this point
Usurped his former's role, and if any hints were to tell you, he eventually installed a more fascist based government after that.
He's definitely a thorn in North America's side. Hell, even Texas seems to be uncomfortable with him, seeing their close relationship and how blatantly he goes about exterminating Wyld and letting everyone know it. But he also has at this point the most land claimed from the former United States, so you can tell he's no one to mess around with.
nasty guy
I hope he gets what's coming to him.
Good, I'm glad you hate him
Because you'll most definitely feel sorry for him later! ;P
I got a idea who he is an what he is.
I maybe wrong but he is a wyld of tremndous power and hates himself but instead of killin himself he use's his hatered an whatnot to kill other wyld and I also think he is scotts dead girlfriends brother.
Correct on the second part
Jackson is Miriam's brother. You'll have to read more if your hypothesis about him being Wyld is true.
Explains a Lot...
...if not everything, from the flashback incident in Crossroads 4.
It seems logical to assume that some form of Wyld power is what got him to the top at age 25 and then eliminated McCaig. But if so, it's obviously something that isn't apparent to (or for whatever reason couldn't be exposed by) the folks he passed along the way up. They can't all be dead, or McCaig, described here as a cautious man, wouldn't have allowed a one-on-one meeting, or would at least have had him disarmed first. Further, Wells is described here as popular, not terrifying, to those who later made him (or confirmed him as) their commanding leader.
Presumably that "four months" reference is the period between his killing his sister and killing McCaig. (With the Purge in Columbus in between.) Both incidents involve what seems to be a single gunshot, but it seems that he was carrying the gun in the previous one and that he wasn't carrying it this time. I don't believe that in this context his "knife wins" needs to be taken literally, but I don't think he'd have said that if his gun, ostensibly empty, on the desk had done the killing.
If not for that, there'd be a viable hypothesis that Wells's gun had a mind of its own, so to speak, killing his sister instead of Scott the first time and firing in "self-defense" of Wells this time. He might not even have been carrying the gun that first time -- he'd been asked to put it down -- but I don't think he'd have said "what have I done?" after the shooting if it had fired on its own. That also makes it improbable that the gun used to be a person, who went Wyld and turned into a parasite to the otherwise normal Wells. Again, "what have I done?" seems to me to preclude that.)
We now know, FWIW, that whatever happens in future Crossroads episodes isn't going to get rid of Gen. Wells, since we learn here that he's still in power in 2023 and that he's as anti-Wyld as ever. (It's common knowledge by then that everybody goes Wyld now sometime during their 19th year. Is he enslaving everyone in the Confederacy at birth? I don't think any leader, however terrorist his reign, could get away with that.)
Looking forward to your putting it all together.
