History
Hired by the government to synthesize a lethal toxic nerve gas, on a farm outside the town of Liberty, Drs. David and Ellen Pace developed a side project and created the Woodgod. While confronting the townsfolk, the tanks containing the nerve gas were shattered by a drunken mob.[1]
Within seconds, a cloud of purple gas slew virtually every living creature within 15 miles, except for Woodgod.[2]
The area was quarantined by the National Guard, who set up the Tranquillity base nearby.[3]
