Faction Zero

In chapter 3 of Faction Zero, Rachel comes to a hideout of evolved humans, and sees John in the kitchen, together with a skinny guy, a large guy, and a fugitive mother. John attacks Rachel but Rachel teleports out of the way. After her attempt to take down the skinny guy fails, Rachel tries talking to John, and John says that they are a faction of ex-fugitives from Building 26. John informs Rachel that their leader, Markus Gaines, is on a mission to retrieve information from a young lady in Costa Verde. Realizing that Claire is in danger, Rachel immediately teleports away without another word.

In chapter 4 of Faction Zero, Micah tells Claire and Rachel that he and Unity found the entire group dead.

Slow Burn

In chapter 4 of Slow Burn, John is among a group that Gail Bowman and Edgar are sent to recruit into the Sullivan Bros. Carnival. When a fight is about to break out between the two groups, Gail recognizes John, who is surprised to see her, as he had covered his tracks so no one could find him. John tells Gail he thought she went underground after Wildman went crazy. After the group, Gail, and Edgar go into the groups abandonded army bunker, Gail offers them the chance to join the carnival, but they all refuse, knowing where they belong.

Heroes: Survival

An event message sent on Friday, December 18, 2009, to participants in the Heroes: Survival game claims to be from 'Mulligan' and to have rewound things to find out what was going on. In the game, there is a character with the nickname of 'Mulligan' and power of temporal rewind, which fits the message. This same character has a first name of 'John', has John's picture for his profile photo, and is also a member of The Guardians faction. The character's bio in the game notes John as being a former Primatech agent and having been chased by Building 26.

Notes

• Although he has not directly stated that John and Mulligan from the Heroes: Survival game are the same character, iStory writer Zach Wilson noted at 9th Wonders that he has a character in the Heroes: Survival game that appeared in the iStory before, and will be a central character in the next book. He said that the character would be revealed on Friday, December 18th, and Mulligan is the only character referenced in a message sent on that date.
