(Unknown Soldier IV #3, 4) - Moses couldn't bring himself to gun down the child soldiers, and one of them knocked him out by hitting him with the butt of his rifle. He awoke with his hands tied, and was led with the abducted girls to a LRA camp, damning himself for letting down Anna and Sharon. He met with Lt. Ilakut, who led the boys, and took him for a priest, saying he regretted the murder of a woman of God in the raid, and had the responsible boy beaten with sticks and stones. Moses cursed him saying the LRA was destroying Uganda, and made a joke of religion, which upset Ilakut, who said he didn't talk like a priest. Sister Sharon found the camp, and begged for her girls back. Ilakut said she could choose 10 of the 30, but he couldn't free them all because his soldiers needed wives. Sharon chose the 10 youngest, and surreptitiously loosened Moses' bonds. When night came Moses freed himself and killed three child soldiers, remembering how full of hope he'd been when he first returned to Africa. He rescued the girls, but couldn't stop a guard from shooting one of the girls, and they escaped because Moses had left behind a number of mines that blew up the pursuing LRA. Moses thought that he was starting to make peace with the hate inside of him. They holed up in an abandoned building, and he comforted the injured Lawino before she died. UPDF soldiers spotted them, and when one of them came in with his gun waiving around Moses heard the voices in his head again and shot him. The soldiers fired on the building, thinking rebels were inside. Just then the LRA, having demind their camp, caught up to them, and engaged in a bloody firefight with the soldiers. Moses and the girls snuck out the back way and made their way back to the mission. Sharon was happy her girls were back, but told Moses she was planning on going to the Acholi negotiations groups to free them through the proper channels, and the violence he caused wasn't necessary. She told him a man had come looking for him, and was waiting in the chapel.

(Unknown Soldier IV #5, 6) - Moses continued to hear voices, and had visions of being tortured and trained to be a deadly soldier. Jack Lee Howl instantly recognized Moses was far more than a doctor, and Moses didn't believe for a second that he was a human rights' crusader. Howl admitted he was working for the CIA and Moses said he never wanted to see his face again. Moses left to return to the IDP camp, but the LRA came looking for him, so Howl gave up his location to Sister Sharon, but asked her to keep his name out of it. Moses had a happy reunion with his wife, who gave him penicillin for his massively infected face. The LRA arrived in the middle of the night, demanding Moses, who picked them off one by one before confronting Ilakut. A soldier confronted Sera, and when she screamed that he was killing his own people he struck her. The defiant Sera said he would not find it easy to take her. The boy tried to attack, so she stabbed him with a pair of scissors. Moses struck Ilikut with a machete, bit off his nose, and forced him to order his soldiers' retreat, telling them that Moses was the darkness in the bush and the light in the lion's eyes. Sera barely recognized her blood-spattered husband, and demanded to know what he thought he was doing when he put a gun to Ilikut's head. He said he didn't want her to see him as a monster, and dragged Ilikut away into the bush, vanishing for a week. When he learned that the mission was abandoned, the girls kidnapped or tortured to death, he hole dup there and tortured Ilikut, not wanting information, just to inflict pain. Reporter Momolu Sengendo came to interview Moses, whose personal war was making the rounds in village talk. He executed Ilikut and said he was going after the LRA wherever he found them as well as their leader Joseph Kony. Sengendo reminded him that many of the LRA were demoralized child soldiers, and Moses said he would take the sacrifice upon himself to commit horrible acts for peace.

(Unknown Soldier IV #21 (fb)) - Moses killed a LRA child soldier after a tense standoff.

(Unknown Soldier IV #7) - Moses went on patrols in the bush, and dreamed of gruesomely killing Joseph Kony, but had no idea how to start his war against the LRA without contacts or even a radio to keep track of rebel movements. He came across an empty village where the LRA had captured Alimo and other students from the more prosperous Kampala, who went north on a lark to see where Alimo grew up. Moses killed most of the soldiers, freed the children they had in bondage, and told them to go to Gulu for help. Alimo's people believe din Cem, a mystic force afflicting those who'd witnessed horrendous death, and believed Moses afflicted with it. Moses found a field radio on one of the soldiers, and kept a wounded child soldier alive to decode LRA transmissions, so he was confident he could properly start his war.

(Unknown Soldier IV #8, 9) - With the boy's help Moses found a LRA route where 200 soldiers were marching and ambushed them by setting up a minefield. He'd alerted the UPDF, who finished them off. Moses felt glorious, hearing opera music in his head and feeling truly alive, wishing he could share the moment with Sera, but knowing she'd reject what he'd become. He gave the boy his freedom, sending him to GUSCO, despite his worries that the UPDF committed atrocities too. Moses attracted attention in Gulu, where he was easily recognized and UPDF soldiers wanted him arrested for the murder of one of their own. He ran into Jack Howl, who told Moses he'd become a celebrity because of his one man war against the LRA, and offered to introduce him to some friends and a safe space. Moses didn't trust him, but agreed anyway, having no other options. Howl introduced him to Kiwanja, who led a group of political refuges that were an economic liberation movement. Kiwanja told Moses he admired his fight, and said his organization planned on killing American celebrity and humanitarian Margaret Wells and blaming it on the LRA, hoping to gain international recognition of Uganda's plight and to put pressure on President Museveni to kill Joseph Kony. Moses saw reason in his words that one bullet in Werlls head could change the world. Moses refused to discuss the details of the meeting with Howl, who told him a story about encountering Siafu, the driver ants of Africa, and how they crawled down your throat and choked you. He said ideals were the same way, the little things choked you from inside, and he was confident he'd gained a bit of trust from Moses, and could use him to kill his enemies for him.

(Unknown Soldier IV #10-12, 15 (fb)) - Moses set up mines on Wells' convoy route, but oil workers from the Sudan drove on the rode and were blown up, despite Moses screaming at them to stop driving. He was horrified that he'd killed strangers, and fell into a fetal position until Wells and her UNHCR arrived and took him to an IFP camp in the Kitgum district. In the middle of the night Moses grabbed a bat and walked into Wells tent, the voice in his head demanding he kill her, but he hesitated when he saw her plans for a Moses Lwanga memorial dinner she was running with Sera. Sera appeared to him in a vision, and made him realize killing Wells would only take Uganda's fate away from it's own people and bring more negative attention to the country. He passed out and had a dream about a bull rampaging at the memorial dinner. Moses was woken by Wells and they had a conversation about her humanitarian work, with Moses telling her she was only bringing Uganda bad PR. One of her media crew snapped a picture of him, and he attacked the man, breaking his camera, and screamed at Wells for being like everyone else, stealing from Africa and giving back crumbs. She called him a thug, and UN peacekeepers dragged him out of the camp. Moses went to Kiwanja's hideout, and found a drunk Jack Lee Howl, who wasked if he was there to kill Kiwanja or collaborate with him more. Moses told Jack it was obvious he was trying to manipulate him despite constantly calling him friend, but they both agreed Kiwanja had to be taken down, and Moses explained that after he chose not to kill Margaret Wells Kiwanja and his crew must have left for the memorial benefit in his honor that she was hosting. Howl called Jan Heemskerk, head of Mura Trust Pharmaceuticals, and got them cover jobs and booking at the hotel in Kampala where Wells was staying. Once they arrived Moses bemoaned that he'd done horrible things recently, and Jack said that was inevitable when you were waging a war. Moses told Jack that if they were really friends he'd never call him by his old name ever again. At the benefit Jack lured Kiwanja up to his room, and Moses beat him until he admitted that he wasn't calling the shots, his ally T'any was, but he acted as front man because many of his followers wouldn't listen to a woman. Moses failed to kill T'any, but shot off her ear and killed a number of her collaborators. Jack had Kiwanja at gunpoint while Wells gave a speech honoring Moses' lifes work and introducing Sera Lwanga to the crowd. Kiwanja signaled a sniper, but Jack interfered in the shot, which hit Rachel Callos, Moses ex-fiancee who'd come to mourn Moses. Jack and Moses fled, but when Sera spotted them she was infuriated that her husband was leaving her again. Wells told Sera about encountering the bandaged man, and how he told her to stop interfering with Uganda's destiny, so she thought he was the one behind the attempt on her life. She wondered if her work held any meaning, and Sera replied that nothing but good could come from taking another's burden into their heart, and said if the Moses Lwanga she remembered had been at the benefit he would have agreed. Moses told Jack he was returning to the bush to wage his war, and Jack said he sounded like somebody had programmed him to be a killer, and he should give some thought to who might do that.

(Unknown Soldier IV #13, 14) - Moses found Paul, the child soldier who operated his radio, in the bush, and asked why he'd left GUSCO. Paul refused to go back, and again begged for Moses to take him to his family in Kitgum, and he relented. Paul said he couldn't stand the violence in the LRA, and was beaten for being weak, but kept alive to carry supplies. He said he hated that life, but at GUSCO he was treated like a murderer, and felt completely worthless. Moses told him their was no honor or joy in being a soldier, and that he was strong. They had to skirt a section off the jungle where the LRA had raided a school, but witnessed UPDF choppers fire on the child soldiers. The choppers launched a missile sgtrike and Moses and Paul fled until they reached Kitgum. Paul's parents were dead, and his extended family's elder said he could not come home after the things he'd seen and done. His relative Alice spoke out for him, begging the elder to let him undertake a ritual of conciliation, and Moses begged the elder to listen, saying saving Paul was one of the only good things he'd done. After the ritual Paul was welcomed back into the Acholi community, but the elder said Moses must undergo Mato Oput, a ritual to cleanse acts of murder, if he wanted to stay. They needed a lamb for the ritual, and the voices in Moses' head guided him to find one. After spilling the blood of the lamb and a goat Paul joined him, representing those he'd wronged, and they consumed a bitter root. Moses had a vision of a tree of skulls, with the skulls being scattered into the wind signaling his newfound purity. He didn't know what to believe in anymore, but knew Mato Oput demanded he change his ways to be truly cleansed.

(Unknown Soldier IV #15, 16) - The dry season hit Kitgum, bringing disease and drought. Moses wasn't sure why he was still there, and whispered into the wind, sending messages of love and apology to Sera. The camp clinic had been raided, and rebels were suspected. Moses overheard the camp doctor arguing with UPDF Captain Kamalie for not protecting them. The doctor told Moses his war on children and his taking the Mato Oput was a travesty. Moses said he'd changed, but the doctor told him he saw no peace in his eyes. Noses was feeling more centered, and the voice in his head had quieted. Later Paul told him that Alice's grandchild had died, and she blamed their neighbor Aloyo Rose of killing him with witchcraft. Moses accompanied the doctor, who tried to make peace between the two women, and Moses said he'd been thinking, and the stealth raid without abductions didn't seem like the work of the LRA, but the doctor dismissed him. Moses was contemplating in his hut when Paul informed him someone had shot the doctor. Alice blamed Rose for the doctor's death and they started arguing until the UPDF broke it up and brought the doctor's body to their barracks. Moses snuck in to examine the body and the fatal injury but was surprised by Captain Kamalie. Kamalie knew who he was, saying he'd allowed his presence because admired his war against the LRA and espoused his racist views on the Acholi. Moses wanted to kill him, but restrained himself, and went to the camp clinic. He tried to figure out the mysteries in camp, and had a vision of a rhino walking through the camp. Rose met him in the clinic, begging him to protect her because she knew if her neighbors believed her a witch she was as good as dead, but he told her to return to her hut. The next day the Lawi Rwodi who gave him Mato Oput was dying, and Moses comforted him, although he could not treat him. Moses announced to the camp that he was their new doctor, and gave everyone he could a check-up in the clinic, even though there was only so much he could do without supplies. Moses found Alice's dead grandchild still in her hut, and Moses warned Paul that the body could spread disease, but he said Alice refused to bury the child until she had money for a Christian buriel. Moses found a bag of hydration fluid in Alice's hut, but couldn't believe she was responsible for the clinic raid.

(Unknown Soldier IV #17, 18) - Moses found Jonathan Kent, a UN official, rummaging through the clinic, and attacked him. Kent said he wanted to make sure the medicine was really gone, and that he had a contact to sell it, so Moses claimed it was he who'd stolen it, and demanded to broker a deal with his partner. His partner was Kamalie, who was goinbg to trade the medicine to a UPDF colonel in Gulu in exchange for guns that Kent was going to smuggle in on a UN plane and sell to the displaced Karamojong. Kamalie agreed to work with Moses, but again told him he had no idea who killed the camp doctor. Moses saw the rhino again, and after speaking to it decided he'd figured out who stole the medicine. He confronted Alice, who'd overheard Kamalie's plans and teamed with the camp's local defense league to steal the medicine so they could get guns for themselves for protection after the UPDF left. He accused her of shooting the doctor when he'd learned what she'd done, and she thought he was joking. Suddenly Moses flashed back and remembered she was brandishing a gun arguing with the doctor when Moses grabbed her hand, aimed the gun at the doctor and squeezed the trigger. The voice in Moses' head spoke to him, saying he'd never left, he was just controlling Moses when he thought he was asleep. He'd seen Alice and the league steal the medicine, and came up with his plan to get the guns, keep the medicine and kill Kamalie, and had killed the doctor to keep him from interfering. He dug up the medicine in the bush and met with Kamalie, demanding a truck to transport the medicine, and weapons to protect himself in case Kamlie tried to betray him, as well as a third of the arms the colonel was delivering. He thought he was thinking about his hate for Kamlie and how the UPDF treated the Acholi, but he was actually speaking aloud, and Kern and Kamalie agreed he was mentally unstable. Moses slept in the truck, but Paul found him, saying his neighbors had killed Rose, and begging Moses to take him wherever he was going. Moses said he was a good boy, and one day the war between Museveni and Kony would end and he'd have a normal life, but that wouldn't happen if he came with Moses, who told him he was off to kill people and eventually die. A new doctor arrived in camp, so Moses left the medicine with him, and packed his truck with land mines, riding to meet Kamalie and the UPDF for their trade with the colonel, wanting to kill them all, and deciding all the death would be both good and glorious.

(Unknown Soldier IV #19, 20) - Col. Akkulu arrived in his plane, and after he exchanged supplies with Kern and Kamlie they began selling them to the waiting Karamojong, who'd had their weapons taken away by the UPDF. Moses revved his truck, driving it into the plane, and the voice in his head screamed that he was supposed to use his cut of the guns to arm an anti-LRA force. Moses told the voice it must be awful not to know what your own mind was thinking, and he didn't intend to leave anyone alive or let the guns go anywhere. His truck and the mines failed to detonate, but the suppressing fire of the UPDF set the truck off, destroying the plane and the guns. Moses mowed down the remaining UPDF soldiers, and after beating Kamalie killed him up close. The voice in his head said he didn't need to take Moses over because he was fine the way he was. The angered Karamojong pursued Moses into the bush, and he fled, though not with much conviction. Moses was ready to give up fleeing when he saw a stony outcrop thought would give him a tactical advantage. On the outcrop were a mother, her two children, and her three cattle. Karamojong rustlers had killed her husband, taken their cattle, and forced them to flee, and although the woman blamed Moses for bringing the Karamojong on their heads she knew him staying to fight was their only way to survive. The family threw spears at the attackers while Moses used his firearms to pick them off one by one. A group of scouts found an easier path up the outcrop, and reported back, so Moses knew he had to get the family away from his fight, which was turning into a last stand. The young boy killed one of the cattle, eviscerated it, and tied it to the two others. The family crouched inside and as night fell snuck past the rustlers, while Moses prepared for a final fight. He just wanted to sleep, and the voice in his head told him he was taking over again. Moses mowed down the Karamojong in combat until a helicopter appeared, and disgorged a number of American troops who told him to stand down.

(Unknown Soldier IV #22, 23) - Moses was shackled and met Agent Wood, who he remembered as the man who programmed him to become a soldier. Moses was taken to a government camp in the Sudan and pretended to be back in the fold, and after passing a psychological assessment he requested Howl be his handler. His first assignment with Howl was to take out an Islamic fundamentalist camp in Kenya, but Moses had Jack surreptitiously use his uplink computer to access the CIA's information on Joseph Kony and locate him, which Howl found surprisingly easy to do. Moses broke out of the compound with Howl using a stolen armored truck, and Howl told him he'd left Sera waiting for information about her husband in Kitgum. Howl arranged their meeting, and he told her to live her life and do good, but the Moses she knew was gone. She was furious he'd dragged her into his violent world without a word of explanation and they parted paths. Jack was still happy he'd tried to bring closure to Sera, one of the only selfless acts he'd ever done, knowing she represented a good and beautiful world he was not a part of. Jack told Moses he was parting paths, and Moses told him he was an old dog ready to curl up and die while Moses was going to make the world a better place by destroying Kony.

(Unknown Soldier IV #24, 25) - Moses saw visions of the Unknown Soldier, who directed him in locating Kony's camp. Moses shot a number of guards, allowing him to creep closer into camp. He told the Unknown Soldier ending the LRA wasn't the redemption he was looking for, but it would have to do. When he spotted Kony he set off a number of explosives and made his presence known, guns blazing. He made his way to Kony's hut when a child soldier barred his way, and he hesitated to shoot. The child shot him in the head, but as he lay dying he imagined he'd killed Kony, and freed all the child soldiers. In his vision he reunited with Sera, who told him he'd changed the world. He saw the rhino again, and as the image of the beast dissolved his life slipped away and he died at peace.
