Chappo Geronimo was Geronimo's eldest son and right hand man. He was schooled in both Spanish and English, making an excellent mediator for his father. In 1881, the Mexican provinces of Sonora and Chihuahua were sold to the Confederate States, sparking the Second Mexican War.

After witnessing Confederate General Jeb Stuart out fox the US Commander at Contention City, he was allowed to approach him and offer an alliance between the Apache and the Confederates in order to punish the Yankees who'd been brutalising his people for so long.

Because he could speak English well, he was often present at Jeb Stuarts side, translating for his father. Stuart on the other hand noticed that Chappo was an astute observer, easily able to comprehend the tricks of the Confederates and even apply them to his fight against the US Forces. This worried Stuart greatly, and it later came back to hunt him. In December of 1881, fighting broke out between the Apache and the Mexican locals of the town of Cananea. Chappo used the lessons he'd learnt from his time with the Confederates and burnt the whole town down using kerosene.

After the Confederates began to pursue them into the Sierra Madre, Chappo again proved his worth for thinking outside the box as he lead Stuart's men into a trip-wire ambush. This lead to Stuart comparing the man's innovativeness to that of Thomas Edison's.
