The Phoenix

The Phoenix is a survivor group based in Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The official founder of the group and current leader is Wolf August.

History
The group began with four survivors, Gerald Paver, Minerva Horowitz and Terry Avery. This was during the fall of L.A and had they decided to flee the city. They were at that moment taking refugee in an small apartment unknowing of another survivor there, Wolf August. He had been resting there for the past hours and heard their conversation. Without warning he called from the room he was resting in that this plan was sucicide. The startled survivors went to investigate and found a young man, armed with an AK-47, who explained to them how the whole city was trying to do the same as them, and hordes of infected followed. A better idea would be to lay low for a week and then see if heading out was a good idea. In the end though, the current group leader, Gerald, convinced the group to continue as planned. They left the apartment, leaving the stranger behind. However, a large crowd of rioting people trapped them in what was to become a slaughterhouse on the street, when large numbers of slenders and even primaeris. Gerald died in the stampede but the rest of the group made it away, where Wolf found them again and led the way to a room in the Natural history museum, were he said they should hide. Wolf started to organize a watch schedule, and slowly became respected as a leader, though moments like when he wanted to take a dead slender in for examinaton planted some doubts on his sanity. While they hid they decided to come up with a name, and Wolf's suggestion of The Phoenix, the mystical bird which rises from the ashes. A week later the group was running low on supplies so Wolf ordered scout patrols. On one of these patrols they found a wounded woman, bleeding from a gunshot through her stomach, and her daughter. In the house with them they found five more bodies, there of one child. The girl said that this was their house and during the riots three men had tried to rob the house and killed her father and brother. Wolf and Minerva, which were the current patrol, promised to take them to their "base" and treat her wounds, if they were allowed to emty his food supplies, which counted large numbers of canned food. Although nobody had any proper medical training the wound was clean enough so it could be cleaned.
