Willem Dafoe

Pre-War Life
Willem Dafoe was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1955. He began his film career in 1981, only to retire shortly after the meteorite of 2021. Slowly becoming obsessed with his youth, he delved into a way to prolong his life. Stem cells. Undergoing stem-cell treatment until 2040 at the age of 85. Although the stem cells had prevented him from aging externally, they were swiftly becoming ineffectual. He was transported to the United Kingdom and cryogenically frozen, in the hope that stem cell research would improve in the future. He awoke in 2064, knowing nothing of the Great War of 2041.

Post-War Life
Not unnerved in the slightest by the current state of affairs, he immediately began work on stem-cell research. Taking advantage of the bigoted nature of New Eden, he assured the mayor of the town that his work was going to eliminate all mutations, citing that he, as a pre-war human, was pure.

Unknown to the Mayor, Dafoe had ulterior motives. Befriending a group of wasteland survivors and a group of oppressed mutants, he slowly formulated a plan. He purchased several brothels in New Eden, and harvested the unborn fetuses for stem cells.

Leaving New Eden with the survivors, he managed to find an engineer, who was previous affiliated with C-TEC. Using the excess stem cells, he hastily attempted to speed-grow some clones. After numerous failures and several months, he at last had what he wanted, an army of clones. Stupid, yes, but intelligent enough to function as soldiers.

He raided New Eden, the town that had hero-worshiped him, with an army of his clones, mutants, and robots. He captured the town with minimal loss of civilian life, and overthrew the tyrannical Brotherhood of Light, placing himself, and a council of trusted advisers, in their place.

New Eden became a haven for mutants and humans alike. Although his taxes were high, and often conducted strange experiments on the people there, it was infinitely better than before.
