John Brown's Army, also known as the JBA, was an American terrorist organization created and led by Emile Dufraisne. Its primary members included Dufraisne himself, Carson Moss, Jamie Washington, Enrica Villablanca and Stanley Dayton. The JBA was based in New York City.

Overview[]

The JBA's primary goal was to radically change or destroy the United States government as Dufraisne labeled it as "corrupt and run by greed." He believed that the government had lost its promise to address the interests of the people, and believed that the only way to bring about reform to the country was to bring about a devastating strike against the nation to prove their point. To accomplish this goal, the JBA actively sought out the purchase and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction, allying themselves with numerous terrorist organizations to ensure the success of their plans. In their quest, the JBA sprung up as a quite sophisticated organization - using information technology, secrecy and training, with capability to develop nuclear weapons and launch operations far outside American borders, as shown from their missions in Okhotsk, Shanghai and Kinshasa.

History[]

2008: Red Mercury Plot[]

Version 1[]

In 2008, Emile decided that in order to get his message across to the government, he would have to strike at the largest cities in the nation, New York City and Los Angeles. To do this, Emile acquired Red Mercury which was a nuclear material used to create a device the size of a briefcase. He planned to destroy New York City in an effort to show his beliefs, though how this would achieve his goals is unknown.

The JBA was penetrated by NSA agent Sam Fisher, who acted as a double agent. Sam was able to gain trust from the JBA by aiding Jamie Washington in his escape from Ellsworth Federal Penitentiary. When it came down to stopping the JBA from completing its goals, Fisher reluctantly shot his best friend Irving Lambert, who had been captured and tortured, to protect his cover and avoid the detonation of the Red Mercury bomb.

On 6 March 2008, a little before midnight, Fisher killed nearly all of the high-ranking members of the JBA, including Dufraisne, and managed to disable the Red Mercury device in the JBA's lab complex, less than 10 minutes before detonation. Moments later, the JBA's headquarters was stormed by members of the NYPD ESU teams that had been outside. They swarmed over all the levels of the compound, arresting the surviving members of the JBA, and secured the Red Mercury device, as well as the surrounding laboratory. Following the deaths of the JBA's leaders, armed resistance to the ESU raid was unlikely.

Carson Moss, the JBA's head of security and the only surviving high-ranking member, escaped with a second Red Mercury bomb and planned to detonate it in New York Harbor. Sam had escaped the JBA compound after stealing an NYPD ESU uniform and made his way aboard the stolen Coast Guard vessel that Moss was on. Sam was able to kill Moss and disable the bomb. He then escaped before the NYPD destroyed the vessel. This marked the end of the JBA, although members from the group began operating even 4 years after the end of the Red Mercury Plot during the Blacklist Attacks.

Version 2[]

Emile Dufraisne (Version 2) manages to get his hands on Red Mercury and plans on detonating five bombs of it within America. One is placed on the Okhotsk tanker to be taken to Los Angeles, another is placed on a chopper for Nashville, where the President is speaking, and the final three are for New York City. Irving Lambert is discovered by the JBA, and Sam is given the option of either strengthening his cover, or planting evidence that will lead to Lambert's death. In the latter case Carson Moss (Version 2) kills Lambert in New Orleans. While at the headquarters, Sam also has the option to either prevent the defusal of the Los Angeles and Nashville bombs or to disarm them before they leave.

In New York, Emile Dufraisne (Version 2) plans to detonate the three remaining bombs. Fisher works his way through all top-ranking JBA members and the others, with the exception of Enrica Villablanca (Version 2), and disarms all three bombs before Enrica is killed by a Splinter Cell sent by Lawrence Williams. If the Los Angeles and Nashville bombs were disarmed, a final news broadcast announces a terrorist attack that failed. If one or both of the bombs go off, the broadcast will report them or whichever one went off.
