Zdzisław Felicjan Winogrodzki

About
Zdzisław Felicjan Winogrodzki, (aka. The Wise) was the last legitimate leader of The Great Void, a mutant militarist cult group which had surrounded the ruins of Yarezovsk and its inhabitants in an attempt to pursue a dream of a pure mutant society in the new era. Zdzisław Felicjan Winogrodzki was born on 2098 to Polish parents who joined the movement in Bunker 4192 which was located in central Yarezovsk, which was one of the cities which had been destroyed by the nuclear bombs which detonated on Zedrutia 20 years prior. He went outside of the bunker for the first time along with many other groups from the bunker in an attempt to revive the movement once again. He became an altar boy until he was horribly mutated after an inspection within the basement of the cathedral had went wrong.

He eventually became the leader of The Void after he managed to mutate several members and manipulate them, and after ousting most of the leadership he claimed himself to the be last legitimate leader, and the cult began transitioning into a movement advocating for the beginning of a pure mutant society in the new era. He then created an army, comprised of groups of people who plead allegiance to him and people which had been forced to undergo mutations, and began a new empire which cut off Yarezovsk from the rest of Zedrutia, in an attempt to capture the city and purge those who weren't mutated.

However, hefore he could potentially fulfill his ambitions, his efforts were halted by a man he named the Great Enemy, and he would be soon tracked down and confronted by him, which forced Winogrodzki to use a pre-war Zedrutian robot which led to Winogrodzki being electrocuted by the systems in the robot which had been damaged, the system then detonated the rockets inside of the rocket which resulted in Winogrodzki being burnt alive and most of his body exploded into pieces, he then succumbed to his injuries and went unconscious, he was then discovered hours later and he would be sent to the cathedral where he was pronounced dead. A proper burial was given to Winogrodzki's remaining body parts, including his legs, torso and head. His empire then collapsed afterwards.

Early life
Zdzisław Felicjan Winogrodzki was born in early 2098 in Bunker 4192 to Polish parents, 19 years after the Third Great War resulted in a nuclear war which devastated civilization. Bunker 4192 was funded and constructed by the Zedrutian branch of The Void and the majority of the people in the bunker were members of the movement, including Winogrodzki's parents. Most of them went underground as the city of Yarezovsk was one of the primary targets during the war. When he was 5, he received proper education in the bunker, and like most of his kids, they were being taught the values of the movement, in which Winogrodzki became loyal to the movement. When he was 10 years old, he had planned to become an altar boy after his father had passed away.

Cathedral
In 2118, nearly 39 years after the bombs struck Zedrutia, Winogrodzki reached his 20th birthday, and on the same day, Bunker 4192 had made a decision to finally emerge from their bunker, after nearly spending decades inside. Some planned to recreate the movement again with what was left in the middle of Yarezovsk, while some inhabitants declined and moved on, the rest of them agreed to the reformation of the Void movement and transition it to a group which will aim to aid people in the wasteland, while many locations were planned, the successor to the group of the new Void movement had discovered an abandoned cathedral in the middle of the city of Yarezovsk, there they had settled and established the main command centre of the new group, and became the first headquarters of the new Void group. The following day, Winogrodzki was accepted as an altar boy and he assisted in rituals.

However, while they were planning to organize the movement, soon there were major setbacks, whenever they attempted to organize a ritual within the abandoned cathedral, a few mutant bugs and roaches crawled out of a door leading to the basement resulting in a few being bitten and injured by the bugs emerging from the basement, they continued to swarm all across the cathedral until the leader had enough, and told several others including Winogrodzki to join them and inspect the basement, where the source of the bugs came. Although their inspection of the basement was successful, they later then went deeper into the cathedral where they were ambushed by bugs, resulting in half of the group dead and suffering from minor injuries. As most of them ran up the basement, they immediately closed the door and trapped Winogrodzki, as he attempted to shout for help, the door was jammed and the group refused to open in an attempt to stop the bugs from emerging. Winogrodzki was then forced to stay in the basement for a prolonged period until he started coughing up blood, he then explored the rest of the basement, where he found barrels containing green liquid, as he inspected them, bugs emerged and he tripped and one of the buckets fell on him, dumping liquid directly on his face.

As loud screams were heard, the group then unlocked the door leading to the basement, and went down despite risks, and spotted Winogrodzki on the floor covering his face, he was then rushed to the cathedral, where he was bandaged, Winogrodzki also nearly died. The barrel which dumped liquid on him had changed his appearance and body. His face was left with no eyebrows, and he was left with no hair, his facial features, including his cheeks, melted, resulting in the face looking sluggish. The mutation also left his skull nearly visible, but his nose remained intact.

Aftermath
After Winogrodzki was left disfigured and mutated, Winogrodzki eventually recovered from his injuries. Instead of being emotional or devastated by the impact, he instead saw himself as a person who can change the wasteland and its rules forever, and possibly design the world under his rule. He also began showing signs of insanity, marking the beginning of Winogrodzki's reign of terror.
