Jericho Kavler

Bio
Jericho originally enlisted to fly Rotary Wing with the 160th SOAR straight after High school. But after completing one tour in the middle east (deployment location unknown) return state side and applied for West Point United States Military Academy entrance. Field scores and Class room scores allowed him to pass among the top of the class. Upon graduation Jericho reflected and opted for National Guard entrance and climbed quickly to the rank of Captain, he married soon after and lived in Georgia. Upon the outbreak the 17th ANG was quickly rallied at Fort Benning before being transported via ground convoy to Fort Carson, Colorado to help contain what was publicly at the time deemed rioting and violence. Upon entering state border the situation had clearly deteriorated since their presence in Georgia and the convoy came under fire from Looters sustaining few casualties. By the time they had arrived in Denver, orders had changed from quelling unrest, to assisting in evacuation. While the main forces of the 17th National Guard were posted around Denver at major Air evacuation points. Jericho Kavler and his 7th Company were posted to the West of Glen Wood Springs along Highway 6 to setup a checkpoint and ground evacuation point. Command realizing that all the companies deployed in Colorado were under strength and authorized as well as ordered all companies 2/3 strength and under; to start immediate local civilian recruitment and training... Basic conscription came into place. The evacuations continued relatively well throughout the initial first 5 days at which the Company met their first horde of staggering infected. Jericho Kavler reported the situation into the Command staff but no response came back and he made a decision to fire upon those we appeared as the living dead. He then gave the order to disperse the civilians towards the nearest military strong points and air evacuation points that were marked on his map... a decision which he regrets. After no response from Command and running out of supplies; he gave the order to pull back off the road to Grand Mesa National Forest where a more permanent Operating Point could be established. After 5 years, Jericho had no illusion that Military structure probably no longer existed within what was once the United States, but continues to command the 7th Company as if there were in hopes that his actions could at least provide order in chaos.
