Jefferson Pinkard

Jefferson Pinkard was an steelworker at the beginning of the Great War. He had a wife, Emily Pinkard, and he lived in Birmingham, Alabama. He was not dtafted until 1915 because of his important work for the wartime cause. During the war he was first assigned to fighting against the Red Rebellion in southern Georgia. He helped put down the short-lived rebellion there and then was moved to fight in western Texas. Some time after the move he was able to take leave and get home to an unexpected Emily. When he came home he found that his wife committing adultery with his best friend. Even though he dealt with the situation calmly their marriage would never be the same. He ended up finishing the war in western Texas. Once he came back he was able to come back to his job and hold on to it throughout the postwar inflation that ocurred throughout the CSA. During this time he also discovered the Freedom Party after listening to Jake Featherston speak in Birmingham. He became an avid supporter of the Party and as he continued to support his marriage continued to detoriate. Him and his wife began to argue more and he began to assault her and once he even raped her. Finally once he found her cheating on him once again he threw her out of the house. After this his support for the Party became even more voracious and he became a strongman in the Party. He was even at the raid where Wade Hampton V was assassinated. He stayed with the Party even after that and also chose to join the regiment of Freedom Party volunteers who helped the Mexican Empire during the Mexican Civil War. He fought for a time there and even headed a prisoner of war camp there. Once he came back however, he was fired by the company he worked for. But he was able to get a job in a prison due to his previous experience at the POW camp. He stayed at the prison for a while and was as dedicated to the Party as ever. After Featherston got elected he was also put in charge of a prison camp in Luoisiana. The camp housed many supposed black rebels and political prisoners. He rose in the Party ranks as he worked more at the camp and he also began the Black Holocaust at Ferdinand Koenig's orders. He developed new ways of killing the prisoners and he also steadily rose through the ranks of the Party. He was soon put in charge of a new and larger camp in west Texas. He also married the widow of a camp worker, Edith Blades. But as the Second Great War continues his camp was also threatened by the US force driving towards nearby Lubbock, Texas.
