- "August Smith controls the Aryan Empire. Would this be the first time they coerced someone into changing their testimony?"

The Aryan Empire was a white supremacist cult controlled by Auggie Smith, also known as the White Dragon.[1]
History[]
Return of the White Dragon[]
Shortly after Auggie's release from the Evergreen Corrections Center, he devised a plan to kill his son Christopher. At his house, he prepared his followers and entered the Quantum Unfolding Storage Area to don his White Dragon suit once more.[2]
Manhunt of Peacemaker[]
|
This section requires expansion |
White Dragon, having implemented tracking devices inside Peacemaker's helmets, started pursuing his son to kill him, with the Aryan Empire following in their own vehicles. White Dragon torpedoed himself into the moving truck Peacemaker and his crew John Economos, Vigilante and Eagly were in, then blasted a hole in the back of the truck to enter. Before he could kill Peacemaker, Vigilante opened fire with an FN P90 and threw an M67 grenade on White Dragon but only ended up burning himself badly. White Dragon survived the grenade because his armoured suit was durable enough to withstand it. Realizing that he has tracking devices in his helmet, Peacemaker tied his to a raccoon in the forest when he and Economos ran there.
While the Aryan Empire were distracted chasing the raccoon with the helmet, Vigilante stole one of the empire's cars which the empire took notice of but White Dragon ordered them to let him go, deciding he's not their mission priority. Peacemaker and Economos make it to safety to Vigilante and the stolen car, only for them to realize that Vigilante stored the remainder of Peacemaker's helmets in the trunk. Peacemaker hurried to dispose of them but the Aryan Empire found him and they started tackling him to the ground. Eagly tries to assist, but gets punched out by ironically his own former master and guardian.
Out of rage over seeing Eagly hurt and possibly killed, Peacemaker, in a fit of rage, threw off the Aryans and charged at White Dragon, vowing to kill him. White Dragon dismissed this and starts crushing his son's chest with his foot, rambling on about how Peacemaker was impure and didn't deserve life. Before White Dragon can deliver the killing blow, Vigilante pops up and sabotages White Dragon's armor pointing out he deduced where the weak spots are. The Aryans began to shoot Vigilante until Economos pops up and slaughtered the entire empire with Vigilante's FN P90.
Now outnumbered and with his armor useless, Auggie lost all ability to confront Peacemaker who violently ripped off his White Dragon helmet and started punching him rapidly and verbally berating him for all the parental abuse he's suffered. Peacemaker then whips out one of the deceased Aryans Luger P08. Auggie taunts Chris that he's too cowardly and stubborn to kill his own father despite how abusive he was until Chris decides enough is enough and shoots Auggie right between the eyes, making him fall to the ground.
