How old is chairman prescott




















By the end of the game it is revealed that Prescott had built a well guarded and extravagant city on the island of Azura , where he kept Adam Fenix and other scientists. Azura was a secret location where only the greatest of scientific minds were taken to for protection from E-Day and the Locust.

Gears of War 3 Wiki Guide. Last Edited: 4 Oct pm. Reading the bottom info will release details on the plot. This is a spoiler and you have been warned. Following the Mission to Claybourne , Diaz contacted Prescott at a late hour where Prescott was enjoying a drink. Diaz revealed that he'd seen Ukkon get his head blown off and stand right back up and demanded to know what else the Chairman wasn't telling him. Prescott dismissed Diaz's question, stating that Diaz's orders were to kill Ukkon, not to write his biography.

Diaz reminded Prescott that the COG had put him in a situation before where keeping secrets got good people killed, but Prescott told him that "some secrets keep people alive," and ordered Diaz to do his job before cutting communications. Frustrated and angry by Prescott's unwillingness to answer questions, Diaz punched and cracked the monitor screen. Thirteen days after the Hammer strike, Prescott boarded KR Four-Two with Adam, and they flew to an area hit by the strike near Ephyra to view the devastation.

Prescott was fascinated by the beautiful and colorful sunrise, but realized it was because of the debris that had been kicked up into the atmosphere. Below him, he saw a charred wasteland with the ruined stumps of buildings in it. Adam told him that the strike had been effective in its objectives, leaving little for the Locust to take and use against the COG, but also meant the COG now had to rely solely on what they could produce on the Jacinto Plateau, and some shortages had already started.

He also told Prescott that environmental contamination and pollution was severe, and it would take the planet years to recover. They again discussed the ethics of what they had done, and both wondered why they kept having the conversation, and Prescott suspected they were trying to rehearse their excuses for the future.

They headed back to Ephyra, and Prescott viewed the cleanup efforts going on around and near the city. He remarked that no Locust had been spotted since the strike, but Adam said there was no way they were all dead, and that some had to have survived underground. After landing, Prescott returned to the House of Sovereigns and his office.

Jillian was there, and handed him several reports to look at, and mentioned that the catering manager was worried they were going to run out of coffee soon, and asked if she should start putting some aside.

Prescott told her he could make do with herb tea, deciding it would be good for him to be seen making some small sacrifices. After she left, Prescott sat in his chair and stared at his phones. He realized the one that could connect him to any COG leader around the world would likely never be used again, and thought back to his last conversation on it with Deschenko, as Pelles was overrun by the Locust, and how he had called Prescott an evil, murdering, genocidal bastard, and that it wouldn't be long before he joined him in Hell.

Prescott decided that hell was too far in the future to worry about, and decided to get to work rebuilding what he could of the world. Gabriel Diaz contacted Prescott who called Ukkon's escape unfortunate. Prescott expressed confidence that they would manage to corner Ukkon again and ordered Diaz to execute Redburn. Prescott claimed that he hadn't heard of it and asked for Diaz's current coordinates, claiming that he was sending a King Raven to arrest Redburn and bring Diaz reinforcements.

Diaz sent Prescott the coordinates and Prescott stated that he was sending the King Raven and that it had been a difficult mission for everybody. Having anticipated that Prescott would send a kill squad instead of backup, Diaz had actually sent him the coordinates for a nearby plateau.

However, rather than send a squad, Prescott launched a Hammer of Dawn strike on the plateau, destroying it. With Prescott believing that they were dead, Diaz refocused on the mission of killing Ukkon using Redburn's knowledge of Ukkon's weakness.

Diaz and his forces succeeded in their mission of killing Ukkon and, unable to ever return to the COG without Prescott killing them, dedicated themselves to hunting down Ukkon's remaining creations. Following the Hammer of Dawn strike, Prescott led the COG through the next nine years fighting against the Locust, but the war did not go well. During the Locust campaign towards attacking Ephyra, a Kryllstorm threatened the city of Ilima , and an evacuation was begun.

However, they failed, and the city fell to the Locust Horde. During the battle, Prescott had Adam kidnapped from the wreckage of his home, and sent him to Azura to work on special projects for him. He allowed the rest of the COG to think that Adam had died, even his son Marcus, who was put on trial and sentenced to forty years in prison for abandoning his post and trying to save his father during the battle.

Prescott also learned that Adam had been in contact with the Locust before E-Day, trying to stop them from invading by finding a way to prevent the spread of the Lambent. During the first visit, after seeing how depressed Marcus is, Prescott gives him hope by hinting that he will release him someday to fight the Locust and that he needs to be prepared for that day.

To this end, Prescott talks to Hoffman about potentially releasing Marcus, but Hoffman is unsure of what to do, not wanting Marcus in prison but aware that it may have a detrimental effect on the Gears. He leaves the decision up to Prescott as Chairman and Prescott chooses to keep Marcus in prison, but considers releasing him in the future to go on a suicide mission. At one point, Prescott reveals to Anya Stroud his awareness of her romantic relationship with Marcus which is against regulations, but instead of charging her, offers her support for her decision to wait and personally delivers a letter to Marcus who learns that none of his return letters ever reached Anya as a result.

After choosing to release and conscript the inmates after the Slab is overrun, Prescott informs Dom of the fact that Hoffman chose to leave Marcus behind due to the severe risk to people's lives to go after him, knowing Dom will confront Hoffman and do something about it. One week after the Bombing, Hoffman, who had risen to become Chief of the COG Defense Staff, briefed Prescott on its effects, telling him that the number of Locust forces being encountered had dropped significantly.

Prescott asked him if the bombing had worked, and Hoffman told him that the biggest Locust stronghold they could identify had been destroyed, and that no Kryll had been spotted since then. He recommended that Prescott focus on getting the armed forces in the best shape possible, in case the Locust came back. He said they should divert civilian resources to accomplish this, but Prescott asked him how he was supposed to justify that to the civilian population when there were fewer incursions.

Hoffman said he needed to focus on getting the army in the best shape possible, since they might have a chance to finish off the Locust once and for all. Prescott told him he would look into it, and dismissed him. Prescott asked Hoffman for options and Hoffman recommended evacuating the Depot, and Prescott told him to use whatever resources necessary, and that he was going to alert the emergency management team.

He told Hoffman to keep him informed of the situation and cut off the comm link. Chairman Prescott talking to the Sovereigns Press Corps. Two months after the Lightmass bombing, Prescott briefed the Sovereigns Press Corps on the current situation of the war.

He told them that the Kryll had been completely wiped out, but that many Locust forces remained and were still a threat. He spoke about how it had been the site of a valiant COG defense during the Winter of Sorrow , and now would be the perfect place to take the fight to the Locust.

Six months after the Lightmass Offensive, Operation: Hollow Storm began, and was an all-out attack on the Hollow by thousands of Gears.

As the operation began, Prescott gave a rallying speech to hundreds of Gears in a plaza, with Hoffman and Lt. Anya Stroud standing beside him. His speech rallied the Gears and citizens, and the Operation began with an Assault on Landown. Prescott ordered that all information related to this mission be classified on a need-to-know basis, and that no one outside of Delta-One, who were sent to New Hope, and Hoffman was supposed to know about it.

They discovered that the Locust were fighting a mysterious enemy known as the Lambent , and that they planned to leave the Hollow and flood it by sinking Jacinto, killing the Lambent and the humans. Prescott and the rest of the command staff decided to preemptively sink Jacinto before the Locust were ready, and began an evacuation of Jacinto, and all Gears currently in the Hollow.

Marcus Fenix that he had thought he was insane when he first sent this plan in, but that it now appeared that his father had been right all along about them needing to sink Jacinto and flood the Hollow.

They decided to use the Locusts own sinkhole that they were using to invade Jacinto against them, by detonating a Lightmass Bomb inside it. This would devastate the foundation of Jacinto, and cause the ocean to come pouring into the hole as the city sunk. He reflected on how Adam had suggested this plan to him years ago, but never said anything about sinking Jacinto. Hoffman then arrived, and Prescott asked him if everyone had been evacuated yet.

Hoffman told him that the Locust had arrived, and that there was no more time to evacuate. They headed for the CIC, and Hoffman mentioned how the whole situation was giving him a sense of deja vu. When they reached the CIC, Prescott asked Anya how they were doing, and she told him that she was targeting a Lambent Brumak with the Hammer of Dawn, since the Lightmass Bomb was lost after it was put into position.

Prescott, Hoffman, and Anya engage three Drones that had cut them off from their Raven. Prescott, Hoffman, and Anya then began running to the HQ building's exit, in order to reach KR , which was waiting to evacuate them.

Anya tried to contact them, but was unable to because the comms network had failed, but Prescott told her not to worry, since the pilot had orders to wait for them to arrive before leaving. When they got outside, they found the streets cracking and flooding, with debris blocking their route to the Raven. They took a detour around another street, but as they ran, Prescott heard a rumbling, and they looked behind themselves to see the street collapsing.

They ran and jumped up to grab railing along a building, and pulled themselves to safety. They looked into the collapsed road and saw water rushing past with Locust and humans caught in it trying to escape. Prescott said this had to be the last time they ever destroyed their own people, and Anya wondered how many people they had lost.

Prescott said that they had gotten the majority out, which was more than they could say for the Hammer of Dawn counterattack. They continued picking their way through the streets, unable to contact anyone else, and eventually reached the plaza where the Raven was waiting. However, an Emergence Hole opened in front of them, with three drones emerging. Prescott drew his Snub Pistol and opened fire on them with Hoffman, taking cover behind the debris. Prescott told Hoffman that if they could not get past them and reach the Raven they would be dead.

Augustus Cole then arrived and flanked the Locust, taking out one drone, allowing Prescott and Hoffman to take out the other two. Cole remarked that Prescott seemed to still know how to use his gun, and Prescott said he was glad Cole had joined them.

Another drone then emerged, but was killed quickly by Anya. They then boarded KR and took off, and Anya informed Prescott that the net was still down and they could not get an update. Prescott did not answer him, and instead focused on what they were going to do when they reached the evacuation point at Port Farrall, telling Hoffman that it was going to take days to process all of the refugees.

She pointed out that Marcus had said that Queen Myrrah somehow knew Adam Fenix's name, and wondered how the Queen could have known that. Prescott said it was indeed odd, not revealing that he was already aware that Myrrah knew Adam, and why she knew him, and reflected that he had not found out soon enough. After arriving in Port Farrall, Prescott switched from his uniform into a pullover and ordinary pants in order to try and keep warm in the freezing temperatures, but also to make it seem like he was suffering along with the rest of the civilian staff.

The image worked, and the staff worked confidently and effectively in his presence. They began going over the present situation, and Prescott decided to leave everyone who had evacuated on a navy vessel onboard them, since they were warmer and had a better shelter, and inquired if they could hold any more civilians.

Emergency Management chief Royston Sharle told him that they were all completely full, and disease was already going to be an issue onboard them. He told Prescott that they were setting up tents with heaters for the night, and that soup wagons would be set up to feed the civilians within an hour.

Prescott told him he had done a good job, and then asked about the fuel situation. He was informed that a recon team sent to Merrenat Naval Base had found Imulsion in half the tanks there and that more could still be found in the large complex.

Prescott then inquired how many civilians they had lost, and Dr. Isabel Hayman told him that she estimated they were looking at about thirty percent losses. Prescott thought about that for a moment, and then stood up and addressed the assembled staff. He told them that they had to face facts, and realize that their society was now more at risk than ever before. They were still under threat from the Locust, the basic comforts they had in Jacinto had been lost, and that they were going to lose people to the cold and hunger, which would generate a lot of anger, and maybe force them close to collapse.

He knew that things would get worse before they got better, and he was going to be asking a lot from all of them, and from the Gears, but asked that they all do their best and try to hold the COG together, because the only other option was a descent into savagery, which would mean the Locust had won.

The staff was transfixed by his speech, and even Hoffman was impressed, telling him that it was well said, and informed him that they now had security patrols going around the camp. The meeting then broke up, and all of the command staff got working on their respective jobs. Prescott set up his office in a Thrashball stadium office that overlooked the playing field, with a priceless rug adorning the floor.

He met with Hoffman in the CIC building one week after the relocation, and they discussed what their next move would be, the rest civil unrest among the civilian population, and problems with Stranded. Prescott agreed with Hoffman that the Gears were not trained for civil policing, but they were all they had and they needed to make it work. He also informed him that he was going to personally visit the local Stranded communities and give them an offer of amnesty.

If they refused, he would authorize Gears to shoot Stranded as looters if they were found within the camp. He told Hoffman that he expected the Gears to comply with those orders, even if they found it hard to shoot civilians.

Hoffman then told Prescott that their biggest problem was that Port Farrall was simply uninhabitable, lacking adequate facilities to shelter the population for the winter, and that they were going to lose a lot of people if they stayed. Prescott told Hoffman if he were to subject the population to another evacuation, he would have to know that they would stand to lose a majority of the population if they didn't and that they would have a place to go to.

Hoffman suggested they look into some of the islands, which Prescott considered to be a good idea. He told him to work with Sharle on a plan, and to talk with the navy officers, since they would need them to put into motion that kind of move. Prescott then asked if there was any other business to take care of, and Hoffman asked him once more if there was any classified material that he was hiding from him. Prescott was annoyed by this, and told Hoffman that he was sorry for having not told him about New Hope, and that he had now informed him of every classified location in COG territory.

He claimed the reason that he hadn't told him was that, as a politician, he just got so used to keeping information hidden, that volunteering information freely wasn't something he was used to. As he left Hoffman's office, he passed Sgt. Bernadette Mataki , who was carrying dinner for Hoffman and saluted Prescott as he passed and headed back to his own office. He told them that they faced uncertain times, but that they could rebuild the world through unity, while disunity would be the end of them all.

Six weeks after the evacuation, Prescott met with Hoffman, Anya, and Cpt. Quentin Michaelson , the head of the COG navy, in his office to discuss options for relocation.

Prescott spelled out his priorities to them: keeping the community together and stopping any more civilians from leaving, and they couldn't do that if the civilians didn't trust the COG to keep them safe. Anya told him that Michaelson had knowledge of former COG bases on several islands, and the image of them looking for a solution to the horrid conditions they were living in would help stop the potential exodus from the COG.

Prescott agreed, and asked Michaelson to present him some options to move to. Michaelson pulled out a map of the ocean, and pointed out two islands: Vectes and Erevall. He told Prescott that Vectes was large enough and had a former naval base , but was off limits because it had housed chemical and biological weapons during the war, and might be contaminated. As he began to describe Eravall, Prescott interrupted him and said they should try Vectes since it was within Raven range without the need to refuel.

The others stared at him, and Michaelson pointed out that it was still under quarantine, but Prescott said it should be safe now. Hoffman angrily asked him if he had anything he wanted to tell them, and Prescott told him that it had just been a very minor detail in a report that had crossed his desk over the previous years that he had thought were irrelevant.

He told them the weapons program had been decommissioned when the Hammer of Dawn project started, and that the quarantine had been left in place due to no future plans for the best. They accepted his explanation with some frustration, and Prescott asked Hoffman if he was going to send Delta to inspect the island.

Hoffman said that Marcus got the job done every time, but Prescott said that it was almost every time. Anya shot back that they would all be dead without Delta, causing Prescott to almost rebuke her, but stopped and merely agreed with her. She warned him that many were close to exhaustion and many had severe mental trauma from the things they had witnessed and gone through. She contacted Prescott, and informed him that the base on the island was intact and ready for inhabitation and expansion, and that there was a small town called Pelruan that was populated by three thousand loyal COG citizens who had been cut off since E-Day.

Prescott was amazed and extremely happy with this news, and told her that he would begin the relocation to the island immediately, with more Ravens arriving within a day and the fleet due to arrive in five days.

Anya told him that it was a very attractive island, and Prescott told her to have the squads bot send images of the island to them, so he could show the citizens where they were going and boost their morale. He then transferred her over to Hoffman so they could discuss the security situation for the island. Some difficulties were soon discovered with the island, namely the large Stranded settlement on it, and their hostility to the COG.

Prescott wanted to offer them the usual amnesty deal, but the first night Delta spent on the island, the Stranded raided Pelruan, but were defeated. This turn of events greatly upset the native COG population, who were very uneasy with the incoming influx of people. Prescott had planned to address them via Delta's bot, but Hoffman convinced him to wait until he was there in person to do it. Hoffman went on ahead to the island to talk with the town leadership, and Prescott told him that he wouldn't tolerate no-go areas and segregation between the incoming Jacinto population and Pelruan.

Prescott also asked for him to extend an invitation to Mayor Lewis Gavriel and his councilmen to come to VNB and meet with him when he arrived. As the COG began settling in, most of the Stranded accepted the COG's offer of amnesty, and the demand that any criminals be turned over for trial.

However, a problem erupted when one of the Stranded who tried to enter VNB with the others was identified as Jonn Massy , who had raped Bernie. He was captured, and Prescott went to talk with Hoffman over their options to deal with him. Prescott argued that putting him on trial for the public would show everyone that the COG meant business in dealing with criminals, frightening the new Stranded citizens and reassuring the worried Pelruan citizens.

He was also worried about what would happen if Massy just disappeared, making the COG seem shadowy and brutal. Hoffman didn't want Bernie to have to go through a public trial, with what had been done to her brought out into the open. He also pointed out that Bernie had tortured and killed her other rapists during her journey across Sera, and that if that detail got out it might upset some civilians and color their impression of the Gears.

Prescott agreed with his reasoning, and told him to do whatever he thought would do the least damage to morale, and that he would back him in his decision. Prescott told him that Vectes Naval Base would be turned into New Jacinto , and become the capital of the resurgent COG, and lead humanity in rebuilding.

He praised the leaders of Pelruan for keeping their town going, and allowing the COG to relocate to Vectes. He also reassured them that they would no longer have to worry about attacks from Stranded, and that all violent elements among them would be eliminated. After as suspected Stranded attack resulted in the destruction of the Pelruan fishing trawler Harvest , Prescott gave Michaelson broad discretionary powers to deal with Stranded pirates.

After a mission Michaelson put into motion resulted in the killing of a major pirate leader at the hands of the submarine Zephyr , under the command of Miran Trescu of the Republic of Gorasnaya , a UIR nation that had never surrendered, Trescu requested a meeting with Prescott.

Prescott met with Hoffman in his office to discuss the situation while they waited for Michaelson and Trescu to arrive. Prescott was unconcerned with the death of the pirates, but did want an accurate count of who else was out there living among the islands, and felt that it wouldn't be a good idea to be hostile with all of them. Many would make it to Ephrya, but not all. Prescott knew this, as well as the fact that they could not accommodate the thousands or possibly millions of refugees that would come flooding into Jacinto.

The reason Adam Fenix was called to this meeting was simple: three days after the evacuation call went out, the newly finished Hammer of Dawn satellite network would be activated and would burn all Locust infested areas with two key objectives.

The first was to assert denial, they could not allow the Locust to continue to use Coalition equipment and technology against them. The second objective was to cause the Locust as many casualties as possible with the hope that they would be wiped out, or sufficiently weakened so that the remains of the COG military at Jacinto could finish the job.

Three days was chosen as it would give people sufficient time to get to safety and would not allow the Locust time to figure out what was about to happen and get out of harm's way. Three weeks after the meeting, with everything buttoned down and the plan ready to be put into action, Chairman Prescott went to the people to make his announcement and start the clock.

This is the speech he made to the people of Sera:. With that call the three day countdown began and people began to flock to Jacinto to safety. The Locust detected this mass movement and attacked just as planned and just as planned the satellite network fire three days later and burned Sera's cities and countless numbers of its citizens. Before pressing the button to start the firing sequence Prescott's only words were "Forgive us". He is a more present influence in Gears of War 2 , giving a rousing speech at the beginning of the game.

Near the end, he is briefed on Marcus Fenix 's last ditch plan to sink Jacinto into the Hollow and completely destroy the Locust Horde. Despite his statement about the insanity of the plan, he agrees it is the best course of action.

He returns at the start of the game as wishes to speak to the captain of Marcus's ship while giving Marcus a data disk that will help Colonel Hoffman crack an encyption on how to defeat the Locust. A couple of hours later, he is shot in the chest and dies from a collapses lung and a blood filled chest cavity.

This enemy believes Sera is finished. Some in the Coalition of Ordered Governments also seem to believe Sera is finished - a sick feeble animal waiting for slaughter.
