History
El Paso
Perrick went to El Paso to work with Dean Knighthawk and to learn his secrets. He claimed he is a California Reckoner. He gave himself a long Eastern European name that is hard to pronounce, so Knighthawk just called him “The Californian.” When Zeff and Jax visited to get some new motivator technology from Knighthawk, Jax unwittingly revealed useful information about motivators to Perrick. Unbeknownst to Zeff and Jax, Perrick attached a GPS tracker to their truck, later allowing the city of Lux to follow them.[3][4]
