The man who brought us back from the brink. President Knox laid the foundation for the post-Zone era with strength, vision, and unwavering devotion to truth. Under his leadership, the skies are safer, our enemies silenced, and cereal production is at an all-time high. Every bowl of Valor Flakes is approved in spirit by the Commander himself.
