After losing their home and the Fireflies, Abby and her companions journeyed towards Washington. In the initial scene of The Last of Us‘s second season, Owen told them about a brother of Ed who manages an operation in Seattle called Isaac. Two episodes later, it was revealed that Isaac’s group isn’t just a small regional faction like Eugene used to describe; it’s the powerful military force governing Seattle. In episode four, we were introduced to Jeffrey Wright’s character, Isaac Dixon, who leads W.L.F. in the TV series. Although he voiced the character in the game, what new insights did we gain about the television portrayal of W.L.F.’s leader? He’s as ruthless as the organization he abandoned, FEDRA.
Prior to becoming a member of the Washington Liberation Front, Isaac Dixon served as a sergeant in FEDRA, stationed at Seattle’s Quarantine Zone. In 2018, Isaac made an explosive exit from FEDRA. He detonated his own troops (excluding one fresh recruit he took with him) when he officially joined the W.L.F. The resistance group was aware of his impending arrival and had been prepared to welcome him.
On that particular day, as Isaac highlighted, FEDRA sarcastically labeled Seattle’s residents as “voters,” implying that the group had taken away people’s rights. This oppressive regime seemed to be the catalyst for Isaac’s decision to leave. FEDRA was already engaged in a struggle with W.L.F. when Isaac killed his unit, and by 2029, as depicted in HBO’s The Last of Us, the conflict had ended. FEDRA no longer existed in Seattle; W.L.F. had eradicated the organization, seizing their weapons and supplies. In episode four, Ellie observed that FEDRA soldiers started turning against each other, suggesting some had chosen to side with Isaac and W.L.F.
In the third episode, we discovered the achievements of Isaac. Massive, weapon-equipped W.L.F. squadrons were seen patrolling the city’s thoroughfares, accompanied by tanks. Additionally, the Washington Liberation Front holds authority over Seattle’s hospitals and maintains outposts at key strategic points.
They also have their own enemy, Seraphites, who W.L.F. calls “Scars.”
The W.L.F., a militaristic group equipped with advanced weaponry, is headed by an initially shy man who has a passion for cooking and high-end kitchenware from Williams Sonoma. The Seraphites, on the other hand, are a primitive cult worshipping a deceased prophet, whom some believe was divine. Those who question this belief are seen as heretics within their own community. At one point, these two contrasting groups agreed to a truce; however, who broke it and the reasons behind it no longer concern anyone. Unfortunately, the two largest factions in Seattle have resumed their conflict. Despite leaving and overthrowing FEDRA, Isaac continues to employ aggressive strategies against his adversaries.
He brutally questioned Scar, a captive, to learn about the Seraphites’ upcoming assault. When he realized he couldn’t get the information, Isaac ended Scar’s life. One guard stationed near the kitchen found the entire situation abhorrent, indicating not every wolf soldier shares Isaac’s methods. However, the FEDRA soldier whom Isaac spared in 2018 wholeheartedly supported their leader.
The Wolves of Land and Freedom (W.L.F.) and the Seraphites harbor intense animosity towards each other. Wolves inflict cruelty upon Scars, whereas Scars retaliate by hanging and eviscerating wolves. Additionally, both factions resort to killing the offspring of their enemies. However, it appears that only one group consistently welcomes members from the other. Isaac was informed by a captive that the Seraphites will ultimately prevail, not due to superior weapons or territory, but because day after day, a Wolf joins the Scars, while no Scar ever defects to the W.L.F.
Isaac disagreed with almost everything the unfortunate man spoke about, except for that one point. This could be the reason why he ended up killing the Scar. However, only Isaac himself can confirm this fact. From what we’ve gathered about Jeffrey Wright’s character in the TV series, it seems the conflict between W.L.F. and the Seraphites is far from over and will undoubtedly become more lethal as time passes.
