Isaac Dixon was a character and an antagonist in The Last of Us Part II. He was the leader of the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) in Abby's flashbacks.
Background
Little is known about Isaac's early life, other than that he came to live in Seattle at some point. During FEDRA's control over the quarantine zone, anger grew quickly towards the military and its control over the city. Isaac was one of the countless enraged by the banishments, food shortages, and executions conducted. Ultimately, he became one of the first members of the Washington Liberation Front (WLF), more commonly referred to as "Wolves", serving under Emma and Jason Patterson.
Eventually, the Pattersons were eliminated by the military, along with most of the other top officials of the Wolves, leaving Isaac as one of the last remaining leaders of the rebellion. This led to him being voted as the commander of the rebels, and under his leadership, the Wolves grew more successful in their efforts. An ever-increasing number joined, even FEDRA defectors, as did Isaac's ruthlessness. He organized attacks at checkpoints, hit convoys, and sacrificed countless just to get a lead over FEDRA.
Finally, Lieutenant Carmelo Torres, commanding officer of the Seattle QZ, decided to pull out of Seattle, reaching the conclusion that it was hopeless to fight against the Wolves. One final attack on FEDRA led to the Wolves massacring Torres and the bulk of his remaining staff still at the courthouse, leaving Isaac and the Wolves in primary control of the QZ.
However, the Wolves quickly saw the problems that the military had been dealing with thrust upon them, now in charge of thousands of survivors across Seattle. Isaac ordered the mass transportation of Seattle's population to the CenturyLink Field stadium in order to get everyone in one place. Those who tried to resist were either forced to or shot, leading many to conclude that the Wolves were no different than FEDRA.
However, this move ultimately proved to be beneficial to the survivors of Seattle. In the coming years, the CenturyLink Field stadium was turned into a safe haven and community for the rebels and the civilians, with solar panels and wind turbines installed to provide power and a farm complete with livestock to feed the survivors.
However, Isaac remained extremely ruthless and uncompromising, showing aggression to most outsiders and their neighbors, the Seraphites (referred to as "Scars" by the Wolves". Considered a death cult by the Wolves, violence between the two groups grew, with atrocities committed by both sides against the other. This bitter feud eventually reach a breaking point, and the leaders of both sides agreed to a treaty, allowing for the coexistence of the groups, though resentment was still quite apparent.
When some Seraphite teenagers attacked a WLF patrol and were gunned down, the treaty broke, and frequent and brutal skirmishes resulted in countless Wolves dead. Isaac turned a hotel into a military barracks and an interrogation facility, torturing and killing countless prisoners for information. Eventually, Isaac decided that the frequent skirmishes would ultimately lead to the Wolves losing the war in the long run and decided that the total annihilation of their enemies was the only way to bring true peace to Seattle. He began mobilizing the Wolves for one final assault against the Seraphites, this time taking the fight to their home.
