BIOGRPAHY :
1925. Ā shiloh thomas warren was born to donna hartley and martin nichols. he is the only son of the two. however, when donna first discovered she was pregnant with shiloh, martin packed everything he owned in the middle of the night and left, never to be heard from again. donna would find help from some of her family, her sister namely, who would offer to care for her during the hardships of pregnancy, and be there for her when the baby was delivered. but raising the boy, raising him she had to do on her own.Ā
1927. Ā shiloh is two (2) years old: by now he has said his first word and certainly taken his first steps. and donna is working two jobs to make ends meet. she is a hospital nurse by day and a club coat checker by night, leaving shiloh with her sister most nights. its a tough job, being a single mom, but donna handles herself well. people around her talk, whisper of the unmarried hand and the baby she carries at her hip, but she doesnāt listen. she loves her son, and as difficult as it is - she loves her life. there isnāt a thing in this world that would make her change her mind about that.Ā
1930. Ā shiloh is five (5) years old: by now he is learning to read. donna manages to teach him all of these things in her spare time, what little she might have of it. she has quit her night job at this point, making more money now as a nurse after being with the hospital for over a couple of years, and even managed to move her position to evenings to spend more time with her son during the day. but come one fateful day in late winter, february of 1930, donna meets a pilot by the name of harry warren. he was kind to her, made her laugh when they first met crossing paths at the hospital one night, and soon they were inseparable. for hours after meeting, in any down time that donna would gather, they would talk. by the time her shift was over, he walked her home. they began a relationship that night and then, four months later, they married. shiloh officially becomes a warren.
1934. Ā shiloh is nine (9) years old: he has been in school for a couple of years now, he stays awake at night waiting for his mom to get home from the hospital some nights and learns about what harry does for a living. harry warren has become shilohs greatest role model. harry taught him how to ride a bike at six years old, and has taught him how to play baseball at seven. every chance they get now, they go to games at the fields and spend a whole day watching the different teams play; it becomes their favorite pass time to do together. and sometimes harry will take him to the base he is stationed at and show him the plane he flies sometimes, and that is the first time shiloh claims that when he grows up, he wants to be just like harry. he wants to fly.
1939. Ā war is brewing, the world is perhaps more uncertain than it ever has been and the people are worried. shiloh is fourteen (14) years old. growing concerns are leading some young men to take initiative, the older brothers of some of shilohs classmates are enlisting in case the events of war do unfold and america decides to step its foot into the door. shiloh, being fourteen and impressionable, goes home after being told yet another brother of his classmates is āgoing to warā and telling his parents that he wishes to become a solider in case the fighting starts. heartbroken and worried for shilohs safety, both harry and donna sit down with him and talk him through what it means to be a soldier, and how he isnāt quite old enough but if in the next couple of years he still wishes to become a soldier, they wonāt stop him. its the second time shiloh states that he wishes to be like harry: he wants to be strong and a solider, and he wants to fly.
they both insist on him waiting. waiting until heās older, waiting until he is eighteen to decide what he wishes to do with the rest of his life. if he wants to fly, harry will speak to someone once heās old enough. but at fourteen, the talks and whispers of war fresh on his mind, āplease, waitā is what his parents say. and he does, he waits. the walks of war become reality in just a few short months, september marks the beginning of tragedy half a world away. shiloh keeps a keen eye on the news, every piece of information he can take in. he waits as one year passes,Ā 1940. then another, 1941. then another, 1942. and that is when things begin to changeā¦Ā
1942. Ā shiloh is now seventeen (17) years old. 1942 marks the beginning of when the tides begin to shift. men across america are enlisting and being drafted for the war effort after the events that occurred at pearl harbor just the year before. men are eager to join, bring the fight to the bastards that āmessed with the wrong fuckinā bull,ā as shiloh once heard. 1942 also stands as the year that harry began getting orders to fly out with other men to help their allies across the pond in bringing aid to their people, as well as provide more air support against the germans. seeing harry go was the hardest part of it, having to say goodbye to him for months at a time, never knowing when he will return to them, but it solidified in shiloh the want to be a soldier. he wanted to help, he wanted to be part of the difference, part of the people that would bring aid to someone who needed his help and that of the various other allies across the world.
1943. Ā our boy is officially eighteen (18) years of age and, as promised, allowed his freedoms to enlist his services in the armed forces. however, his dream to fly would not come to beā¦ the pilot program simply didnāt see him as a good candidate. feeling more than a little defeated, shiloh wouldnāt allow that to stop him. he may never have gotten to fly, but he made damn sure made the best soldier on the ground that he could be. in 1944, shiloh doesnāt see as much action as others do, but still the hardships of war reach even him, as do the stark realities that men often come face to face with when dealing with life and death. war still changes him in ways that it changes all men, it scars him in unimaginable ways. he sees death and destruction on another level, he becomes oddly familiar with the best and worst of humanity, and he finds a brotherhood amongst the men. men heād die for, heād fight for, who he was, is, and always shall be proud to call his brothers.
MILITARY Ā SERVICE:
1945. Ā at twenty (20) years old, shiloh has seen more things than any one person should. at twenty years old, shiloh warren has seen the effects of war and become familiar with them himself. but in 1945, the war is over. at least, thats what they say. thats what they tell the people, the soldiers who have carried the conflict in the european theater. germany surrenders in late january, and the war officially ends on paper. the soldiers, however, the war torn citizens of europe, must live on with a constant war. no more missions, no more orders, no more fighting; but still a battle rages. its the case even for shiloh. he never stops fighting that war, it just gets easier to subdue his demons, his own enemies, and even that takes years to master.Ā
twenty year old shiloh warren is sent back home to the states with a pat on the back and joins that welcome home parade. the spirits are high for now, and its easy to hide in the distraction of it all. the war is over, VE DAY is what they call may 8th, 1945. shiloh spends that day finding a train to take him home, new york to st. louis, or as close to it as he can come.
and once heās back home, shiloh spends every waking moment he has trying to forget the horrors he witnessed overseas. he tries to find his peace, but he doesnāt have to do it alone. harry, also returning home from the war almost a week after shiloh, helps him through each day. they help each other. they find comfort in knowing that they arenāt alone, and come to be open and honest with each other of just what they had seen and been apart of. none of it was easy. it was the hardest thing shiloh learned to live with, the hardest thing that harry had ever helped him with. it was awful and rotten and dirty, there were no pretty sides to the aftermath of the war. some days were harder than others, but slowly they both had come to find a peace. its consistent work, never stops. āit never will,ā harry told him. and it was certainly the truth. even decades later, shiloh will work through his past and fight his demons.
1947. Ā 1947 would go down as one of the worst years for the warren family. newly twenty-two (22), shiloh warren loses the only father he has ever known. harry warren had been called upon multiple times to return to the air, and without question nor hesitation - harry responded. that time in 1947 was no different. he was called upon one last time and like before, harry never asked any questions nor hesitated. he was out of the house within an hour of getting called to base, saying his goodbyes to his family never knowing that they would be his last. the mission will likely never be disclosed, wrapped tightly in confidential tape and flagged top secret, but somewhere around 0600 hours, just over the pacific ocean, or that is what the military assumes, harry warren, along with two other man (lloyd walsh and edward madison), disappears. no radio contact, but perhaps the worst of all: no signs of a crash over land. a month long search over a large swath of the ocean was conducted for the three men, but further answers or evidence was never found. each man on plane was declared MISSING IN ACTION.
it was a harsh and devastating blow to shiloh. the man that taught him everything he had ever known, the man who loved him like his own son, who raised him to be every bit of the man he was: gone in a single night. and nobody was telling him anything, not a single word. when he tried to keep as up to date on the investigation as he could be while it was active, nobody would give him anything. no answers, no help. shiloh was meant to simply accept the fact that harry was gone. but it wasnāt sitting with him; he promised himself that he was going to find answers, even if it took him until he died to get them. harryās mission file, as well as those of the other two men that had gone with him, was sealed and labeled top secret the very next day. shiloh would never know why or what exactly happened to harry warren. but he did learn one thing ā¦ harry was running early surveillance.
1950. Ā shiloh, now twenty-five (25), was more convinced than ever that harry warren, the man who had disappeared over the ocean just three years earlier, was actually shot down by the russians. the news of the cold war has spread like wildfire throughout the country. many people fear another entrance to war, others are afraid of total devastation by way of nuclear war, and even more are going about their normal lives doing their best to ignore the goings on of the world outside of their own. for shiloh, he is more determined than ever to know what happened to his father. over the last three years after his disappearance, shiloh warren has worked consistently, down to his very bone, to get into the cia, to become an agent, getting into foreign affairs, and ultimately across the sea to bring the fight to them, the questions to them. the people he was sure had been responsible for his fathers fate.
shiloh was largely successful. with much push and because of his strong drive, he was picked up and then immediately assigned to their foreign affairs. not long after that, he was cleared to be one of their overseas operatives on the ground, of which there were becoming few and far between. the missions were getting harder, the information tighter due to the blockade, due to rising suspicions of espionage. but some pushed through, some managed. next was shiloh.
COLD Ā WAR:
1952. Ā shiloh first touches foreign soil for the second time in his life in 1952, when he is twenty-seven (27) years old. for the first couple of months, during the brutally cold months of november through january (then entering into ā53), shiloh spent the majority of his time on the western side of the occupied country. he studied ins and outs of the wall, the divide and the blockades that seem to run for miles down the middle of germany, as well as the people and world beyond the wall. he became familiar with the language, both german and russian, became familiar his each of his contacts. some of them were double agents, working with british intelligence as well as the united states to provide information of the status of their super power neighbor; some were those who managed to escape the eastern side and work to free the rest of the country and at least have a hand in bringing down the ussr.
1953. Ā shiloh didnāt manage to cross into the eastern part of the country until mid 1953. he is smuggled in by one of his contacts. to the eastern side, shiloh is a regular citizen of germany under the name otto neumann. he would often times pose as his contacts nephew, as his most prominent contact, the one that he would turn to most, and would become his in between point of communications, was a little over a decade his senior.
when they crossed the blockade, they would go their separate ways but meet up every other sunday for ābunchā at a cafe, often in public eye, broad daylight, to exchange the āweekly news.ā shiloh would give him everything he has gathered, often in an envelope tucked into a newspaper or sometimes a pastry box with a false bottom, or even a book; and his contact would give him something in return sometimes: new missions and new reports often in similar ways. both of them having their reports coded. keywords always shifted back and forth, often granted in their conversations to each other. it was how they managed to keep themselves safe, their information, their work. it was another way they could guarantee each other that everything would be safe. after those ābrunches,ā they would again part ways. emergency meets were rarely called, though the process for that, too, was simple and coded. each did their part to stay under the radar. you never know when youāre being monitored.
1954. Ā soon. Ā basics:Ā he gets moved closer to russia (and often gets missions in russia), gets in touch with a different contact. less time to get acquainted with things, leads to mistakes being made by his contact, ultimately getting him (the contact) killed and nearly getting shiloh killed in the process. for a couple months after that, shiloh was solo. then he gets a new contact, they accomplish a lot together. then 1955ā¦Ā
MISSION THAT WENT WRONG:Ā
1955. Ā 1954 may had been the year that shiloh warren had almost been made, the year with too many close calls than he would ever care to admit. the year he was less careful, they all were. it was becoming harder and harder to obtain information, harder and harder to get it out and through the grapevine to important officials in the states and the united kingdom. the tensions beginning to grow higher than ever, the push for something, anything, was becoming more demanding by the day. something had to be done and it needed to be done fast to get them the edge. the cia has had many failures in the past years, many held doubts that they were even capable of keeping them ahead in this race, the silent war between global superpowers. but, alas, 1955 would become the year that shiloh would, unfortunately, be made.
SEPTEMBER Ā 8TH,Ā Ā Ā 1955: Ā it was routine. it should have been routine. met with his contact, new mission came across his table, but this one was different. this one was a two man job. his contact was joining him. the code was bridge. shiloh had eight (8) hours to read, become familiar, and understand his role, then meet his contact at his apartment. it was supposed to be that simple, something he had done many times before that night. but fate and the realities of war, even that of a silent one, had something else in mind.
shiloh was ambushed in his car at a stop in a neighborhood, not even a block from where he was supposed to meet his contact. they ransacked his car, his belongings, though never found anything of value. they left the car running at the stop and took shiloh with them. shiloh fought for a little bit, to the best of his abilities, but the men that grabbed him were surprisingly bigger than him, stronger, and one of them squeezed him into a chokehold until he passed out. weapons were removed from his person, both guns at the side holsters and the knife in his boot. he was bound, blindfolded, and gagged. everything was black for around an hour, consciousness returning to him after half that time.
they held shiloh for hours. beating him, questioning him, more or less torturing him. shiloh never said a word to them. not. one. word. they were met with silence, resilience in spite of everything, just like he was trained for. his mouth was shut and there was nothing they could do to get him to talk. they were going to have to kill him and, for what it was worth, for that whole time, shiloh had resigned himself to that. he would die there. he would die there like harry probably died there. he would never see home again.Ā
after the eleventh (11th) hour of having shiloh warren in their grasp, the attempt to pull anything out of him was called. ākill him.ā was the order given to them. and certainly they planned to, but shiloh wasnāt going out without a fight. shiloh twisted his way out of his restraints, breaking a couple fingers in the process mind you, and attacked them first. the first one was easy, heād gotten too close and challenged an angry man. shiloh used what remained of his restraints to choke, then break the mans neck. the next, the last, was more of a challenge. shiloh was already weak after that brief fight put up with his first captor, after the shit they put him through - reason said escape, donāt try to fight. and that was what he tried to do. escape. donāt fight. he could fight again later.
yet even that was never supposed to be simple either. shiloh managed to escape him for a little but, naturally, he was slow. too slow. the other man was faster, had a job to finish. it was a brutal fight, a brutal effort from both of them. shiloh was sure he at least broke the other mans leg in three places, broke his nose, dislocated his shoulder, but the damage inflected upon him was much worse. he was beaten into the floor, kicked in his ribs, where three or four of them inevitably broke, slammed into a wall, concussed, and still ā¦ still he tried to get back up, tried to get away, tried to escape not fight. escape, escape, escape.
for his efforts, shiloh was shot twice. through and through wounds. an inch, precisely, apart from each other. they pierced through the back, fell through the front of his body. and shiloh collapsed forward after they ripped through him. again, he had resigned himself to the fact that he was going to die there, half a world away from his mother, the same way harry assumedly died. by the russians. for whatever the reason may had been, the other man hadnāt finished him off. instead, he said something about āletting you sufferā and was never seen again. shiloh laid there on a dirty floor, staring at a broken ceiling, certain he was going to die.
by some grace of god, or maybe it had been luck, or maybe there was some other explanation, he wasnāt entirely sure, he still isnāt, his contact was able to find him. he was the one who dragged shiloh out of the building, who would get him to someone that would stabilize him enough for transport (which included emergency surgery, opening him up to fix the damage), who would hand him off to someone else that would smuggle him across blockade in germany, and getting him back into allied care. shilohs memory of each passing moment boarders on blurry to nonexistent. he remembered pain, he remembered blackness, he remembered voices. most of all, he remembered harry. he would never be able to explain it but, somehow, harry kept him alive and fighting to stay alive that whole time.Ā
VOUGHTĀ &Ā THE SERUM:
1955. Ā NOVEMBER Ā 15TH,Ā Ā Ā 1955: Ā over a month has passed since his incident in russia, his healing is terribly slow. he had gotten back stateside and immediately had to go into a second surgery due to an infection starting in his wounds. he was cleaned up, rebadged after surgery, each of his bones reset and some required splints. he was going to be in the hospital for a very long time. nowhere near a point he could even begin to think about leaving, much less getting up to walk. and that was when someone at vought saw the perfect opportunity. someone, he would never remember the name clearly, sat with him at his bedside one night, while all the nurses were away, and spoke to him about an experimental drug trial. sounded ābatshit nutsā as shiloh put it, which kind of amused the other man and he agreed, but continued to reassure him, something about being safe, something about how it wouldnāt hurt him, and it would save him so much pain. it was a subtle leech on the very vulnerable circumstance shiloh warren found himself in, and still yet ā¦ he would agree.Ā
he was pulled from the hospital the next day, moved to a more controlled environment. he wouldnāt be told what they were giving him, not or the first couple of days at least, while they ran tests before even giving him the injection. he was part of a group of 30 people, all of them getting the same injection, the same miracle drug trial.
on the day of testing, and only that day, they were allowed a name. CV-A-838. and what the purpose was: to make super soldiers without the powers of supes. to make the average human being stronger, faster, more durable than that of their average counterpart, but still less so than a supe. shiloh was the fourth person injected, and immediately he knew he was lied to. āit wonāt hurt you,ā but he felt immense pain immediately. nothing they would give him, what little they could without counteracting the serum, would so much as scrape the surface of the pain he felt. it was deep, bone deep. and it would terrorize him for hours. but he supposed that he had it better off than others - others were dying, rather immediately after their injections, some suffering more intensely than he was before death took them away. very few survived, 6 out of 30. shiloh being one of them. the other 5, however, were ā¦ worse off than he was. the serum scrambled something in their brains, some of them became violent, so much so that heavy amounts of sedation had been used to knock them out.
shiloh thomas warren remained the only surviving and sane member of the CV-A-838 serum trials. it was, overall, labeled a failure and further trials were immediately canceled and trashed. but with their only success, they studied what they could. CV-A-838 was a marvel, the love child of the original compound v hero serum and an unnamed mixture, and certainly performed well on shiloh. he was given superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. and while powers were not the original idea from this drug, the opposite actually, shilohs inherited ability to turn off the pain receptors in his body as a result of the injection baffled doctors and, despite copious amounts of research throughout the years, none would ever find an answer nor replicate it in further serum trials. not even in temp v, which was loosely founded on the research gifted by compound v and CV-A-838. the serum also, surprisingly, gave shiloh the ability to heal himself, albeit slowly. the wounds that he had come in with, those atrocious things, merely scarred over and his bones snapped back into place hours after the pain had stopped from his injections.
and rather than allow shiloh to roam free with these new found abilities, vought offered shiloh a position; put his skills to good use for the company. shiloh knew better than to refuse, especially given that they had saved his life. for whatever reason. he agreed, and thus begins his long and continuous tenure at vought. he becomes their go-to guy to bring in supes that go ātoo far off the rails,ā as they put it; his job to make sure things go voughts way, the way they need it to go; his job to make sure the press stays clean, even if that means intimidating someone into putting out some bullshit, or ā¦ cleaning up the mess all together by getting dirty. shilohās job also ranges from being an escort, more or less, to missions, the ones where vought needs their supes to behave, to do things clean, to make sure things go their way from the start. he is their attack dog, their executioner. their caretaker.Ā
MODERN DAY:
Ā 2022 Ā - Ā CURRENT. Ā NOTE:Ā THIS IS MOSTLY SEASON 3Ā &Ā ONWARD.Ā Ā Ā shiloh has created a name for himself at vought. āthe caretakerā becomes synonymous with mystery, with the untold happenings behind closed doors, with all the wrongs and very rare rights vought dips their hands into. eventually though (somewhere around end of season 2), shiloh begins to realize that nobody is trying to take this company down, nobody is fighting the good fight, not successfully at least. he realizes that this company is only becoming an empire, one that hides its secrets even from him, and their top dog. he wakes up and realizes ā¦ heās working for the bad guys.
in the events of season 3: Ā shiloh warren is doing his best to move silently to bring down this company, playing both sides. he will do whatever it takes to bring this shit down, whatever it takes to end vought for good, to put an end to supes like homelander and his āfriends,ā even if that means someone else gets hurt in the process. you cannot trust him. if youāre not the wolfs food, youāre bait.Ā
he still works under vought, but he does his best to avoid saying that he works āforā vought - because thats done. he doesnāt work for anyone. he works for himself. but easier to take down an empire from the inside, a trojan horse. he still performs his duties, but under their noses heās feeding information to who he can that will report it, helping others that have the same goal in mind - knock homelander off his fucking pedastal and bring down vought entirely.Ā

CV - A - 838 :
CV-A-838 was an experimental drug trial that consisted of anywhere between 20 - 30 participants. the drug made for trial had been mixture of compound v, the successful hero serum created by frederick vought, and another developmental drug that had not been named or tested outside of the lab. the trial was made up of several men and women, researchers curious to see whether different effects, be them physical or mental, were found in opposite sexes.
the other half of the mixture that created the serum CV-A-838 remained mostly unknown, only that its parent component was the successful hero serum, and that it gives the user some form of change, similar to its predecessor. the purpose of CV-A-838 was not to create heroes, but rather to see if they could simply make human beings stronger without giving them the kind of powers compound v does. to a certain extent, it was largely successful, though it did have a lot of similar devastating setbacks and disadvantages to compound v, along with some that had been flagged specifically from this particular version of the serum.Ā Ā
as such: CV-A-838 had a mortality rate of 20%. most participants could not handle the parent component and suffered grave side effects following their injection. few survived, and those who did hadnāt gotten to live it in the freedoms of their homes or with their loved ones. rather, they were institutionalized and kept under lock and key at sage grove, a vought controlled facility where they would run further tests to stabilize the parent component of the drug itself.
displeased by these results, vought and their team of top researchers and doctors immediately halted any further testing and the project was scrapped. any notion of CV-A-838 was thereby classified and ātrashed,ā and has never seen the light of day again. except by one.
CASEĀ STUDYĀ 004,Ā Ā Ā SUBJECT: Ā WARREN, Ā SHILOH THOMAS
warren presented signs of change after his injection of CV-A-838 at approximately 1500 hours. he was closely monitored like the others and showed little signs of failures within the first three hours. when it was determined that he would survive the injection, he was allowed to proceed forward where further studies did confirm that warren had successfully responded to the serum and its designed changes. he possessed enhanced strength and invulnerability. however, there were still flaws. evidence in: warren can and will grow tired after excessive use of his strength and it is still limited (compared to the strengths of captain vought, homelander, etc.) in what he can do. his invulnerability, however, seemed to hold out far longer than his strength.
further research indicated that CV-A-838 had effected warren in ways that hadnāt been evident in the other recipients. CV-A-838 turned off most of warrens pain receptors, thereby giving him an advantage over any threat that he may come across, particularly when coupled with his level of invulnerability. it seemed as though warren could still feel pain, but not as one should, and that he could almost willingly turn them on and off. (EVIDENCE Ā FILE: Ā 0039547-b,Ā Ā Ā CONTACT:Ā Ā IDENTITY PROTECTED UNDER CODE 40657) doctors and researchers were unable to find the discover the cause of this, as it was never present in the other participants, nor other powered individuals who had gotten the parent serum. the anomaly, as they called it through their reports, was simply that: an anomaly found only in shiloh warren. no scientist has yet to determine what caused warrens ability to shut out pain.
CV-A-838 also gave warren limited healing abilities. this was a much slower process, as evidence by the rate of healing from his initial injuries upon receiving the injection. (EVIDENCE Ā FILE: Ā 0039548-b,Ā Ā Ā CONTACT: Ā IDENTITY PROTECTED UNDER CODE 40657) while not its original intention, the upcoming success of the serum had made the people at vought curious, and opened space for their newest success story. these abilities are what allows him to do his job.
SHILOH WARREN REMAINS THE ONLY KNOWN RECIPIENT OF THIS VERSION OF THE DRUGĀ
COLD WAR , Ā Ā Ā Ā THE Ā DEEPERĀ YOUĀ DIG, Ā THEĀ DARKERĀ ITĀ GETS.Ā Ā Ā takes place, obviously, during shilohs experience during the cold war up to his incident in russia. he isnāt āpoweredā at this time, just an ordinary man behind enemy lines feeding information back to the u.s. about their neighbor super power. Ā not a lot of interactions will take place here unless its plotted or your muse would actively be there.
PRE Ā SERIES , Ā Ā Ā Ā YOUĀ STAYĀ QUIETĀ WHILEĀ AĀ WARĀ HAPPENSĀ WITHINĀ YOU.Ā Ā Ā takes place at any point during shilohs tenure at vought before the events of the series ever takes place. Ā aka: anywhere from 1955 up until when the show starts. this is when he is officially āpowered.ā
SEASON Ā ONE , Ā Ā Ā Ā CONTROLĀ ISĀ ANĀ ILLUSION.Ā Ā Ā season one is mostly just shiloh following voughts orders. taking out targets, using intimidation tactics, making sure their message is clear. cleaning up the messes. Ā the works.Ā
SEASON Ā TWO , Ā Ā Ā Ā ANDĀ WHATĀ OFĀ THEĀ BEASTĀ INSIDEĀ YOU?Ā Ā Ā details to come. Ā by the end of season two, shiloh begins to realize who and what heās working for exactly and starts his change: planning voughts destruction.
SEASON Ā THREE , Ā Ā Ā Ā YOU'VEĀ BECOMEĀ FAMILIARĀ WITHĀ DESTRUCTION.Ā Ā Ā this is main since this season is the only one that iāve seen in full (donāt judge me). Ā shiloh is actively and silently trying to pull at the strings that hold the foundation of vought together, helping those who want to take down the company and the supes that have been protected by vought for years. he kind of doesnāt care what happens to him at this point, if he dies in the process of trying to tear it down then he dies - heās come to terms with the idea of dying a long time ago and it hasnāt changed. its kind of a whatever it takes kind of attitude but every move he makes is silent, leading to a bigger crescendo by the end.
SEASON Ā FOUR , Ā Ā Ā Ā THEĀ GENTLEĀ ARTĀ OFĀ MAKINGĀ ENEMIES.Ā Ā Ā this is only one version of season four. Ā for now, this is my version.Ā Ā Ā S4 (version a): Ā after the events of season 3 come to light, shiloh is eventually (timeline unknown thus far, most likely towards the end of the season) betrayed by one of his closest contacts, one he thought he could trust, and ratted out to homelander and those loyal to him. things do not go as planned. there is a confrontation, and it leads a brutal fight and a daring escape by the skin of his teeth. shiloh is bloody, broken, and officially on his own. he disappears. complete radio silence from those who know him, who trust him, who need him. he doesnāt know who he can trust, not now. not yet. it takes him weeks to heal, weeks to know who he has left on his side and who he doesnāt. who he can trust with the knowledge of his survival. not many.
shiloh continues his work, giving what he can to those willing to face the company, homelander and those loyal to him, but entirely underground and through scattered channels. at least until heās ready to reveal his fate.
S4 (version b):Ā Ā coming soon.
SEASON Ā FIVE , Ā Ā Ā Ā TAGĀ HERE.Ā Ā Ā to Ā be Ā determined.
POST Ā SERIES , Ā Ā Ā Ā FINDĀ PEACEĀ TOĀ SETTLEĀ THEĀ STORMĀ INĀ YOURĀ HEART.Ā Ā Ā retirement verse. Ā takes place after the events of the show, whatever they may be. vought is gone, supes are few and far between. shiloh is finally letting himself settle after years of working for that wretched company. he moves back to missouri after a few years of not being able to handle the loud bustle of new york anymore, wanting to find peace in the aftermath of everything. he opens a shop where he fixes anything from motorcycles to cars for a living and slowly works on finding his peace with the events of his life, the things heād done, and earning redemption.
MARVEL , Ā Ā Ā Ā THEĀ PRODUCTĀ OFĀ BADĀ FORTUN.Ā Ā Ā a lot of this verse will be focused after the events of civil war, Ā but has history prior to that. Ā vought is still a rather large, well known company that deals in the makings of superheroes, or ratherā¦ in the business of creating something they can control. a lot of their serums are deadly and have been publicly ridiculed for their lack in safety and humanity during tests and research, but vought has an upper hand in getting beyond public outcry. theyāre funded and actually a division of shield, working on various other versions of a hero serum, perfecting their own recipes. and more than that, after the events of winter soldier, its discovered that they were aligned mostly with the hidden, underlying hydra connections and were working to perfect the serum for their own line of super soldiers.
shiloh still works for the company, still does most of the dirty work, still worked as a spy before turning over to vought and shield. and sometimes he would have gone on delicate missions with the heroes, but most often he was there in the aftermath for clean up. but come civil war, when it comes down to picking sides after the sokovia accords are introduced, he immediately goes against it. it makes people like him an outlaw, a walking target. he spends every waking moment helping to hide powered individuals from government officials after the accords are passed.
come endgame, shiloh is among those who get dusted. for five years, he is another soul whose name is carved into memorial sites, thought to be lost forever. but when he does return after bruce banner sets everything right, it takes him months to readjust. a new family has made his home theirs in the five years he was gone. when the dust settles after the last battle with thanos, shiloh warren is among the thousands that are relocated in a shelter provided by various governments around the world for the returned. he spends every moment he can helping those recover, finding their place in the world again, reintroduced to loved ones or moving on without them, while he remains stuck in a limbo state unsure of his purpose in a world that has moved on without him.
NORMAL , Ā Ā Ā Ā WHATĀ WEĀ DIDĀ INĀ THEĀ DARK.Ā Ā Ā modern / normal verses.Ā Ā Ā more or less follows his biography but in more modern settings. everything happens: military service, spy, job went wrong and nearly getting killed. getting into a companies drug trial, but make it modern and shady where a largely government funded company created the serum and tested globally on volunteers within service and others unknowingly. heavily inspired by terminal list.
HUNGER Ā GAMES , Ā Ā Ā Ā AĀ GOLDENĀ CAGEĀ ISĀ STILLĀ JUSTĀ AĀ CAGE.Ā Ā Ā details Ā to Ā come.
