Jackson Cally

Jackson Gordon Cally is a cult leader in The Tribe, season 1.

History
Jackson was 32 years old at the time of The Tribe. He spent most of his childhood moving from foster home to foster home and has an IQ of 189, spending his life surviving through by cunning and a winning personality. When he was 18 he spent 22 months in prison for auto theft. While there, he found religion and preached to his fellow inmates.At one point, when he was threatened by another inmate, he convinced his cellmate, a massmurderer, to beat him to death. After his release, Cally studied Native American Culture at different universities.

He later formed a cult in Terra Mesa, New Mexico, loosely based on Native American beliefs, although his motive was to create a war between Caucasians and Native Americans in a scheme similar to Charles Manson's Helter Skelter plan. Being the leader, he called himself "Grandfather" to the members. In The Tribe, he had that group attack a group of students, killing them using old Native American war rituals. When that didn't create the impact he had hoped for, he had them kill the head of an organisation called the American Defense Unit and his family. When that didn't work either, he tried to stage an ADU attack on a Native American school by having the cult members steal a collection of firearms and kill all the students and teachers there. Hotch and local reservation police officer John Blackwolf had already brought them to safety and were able to silently knock out three out of the five attackers. The other two were shot by Hotch and stabbed by Blackwolf.
