Encouraged by a new agenda, Caesar snuck out of the sanctuary and returned to the Rodman house to steal the ALZ-113 formula and gassed the sanctuary apes, treating them with positive effects of increased intelligence and led a revolution out of captivity. Saddened by the loss of Caesar and gravely gripped by his disease, Charles died in his sleep at home. But the Rodman family shared a neighbourhood with a temperamental pilot who attacked the too curious three year old Caesar, threatening them if the chimp came near his house or his children again.Ĭaroline Aranha eventually moved in after treating Caesar from the previous attack and formed a relationship with Will, liking the good home he built for Caesar but told him that the young ape would soon be gone and a "large powerful animal" would grow in his place, convincing Will to take Caesar for regular walks in the Muir Woods for exercise.įive years after his first walk in the Muir Woods, Caesar attacked the Rodman's neighbour for harassing Charles and was taken into law enforced captivity, placed under care in the San Bruno Primate Sanctuary. The young ape was well trained in sign language, intelligence tests and accommodated in a suitable attic bedroom with a certain window. But as he and Charles became more and more attached to the baby chimp, Will eventually decided to raise Caesar as his own son, continuing to observe the passed on effects of his ALZ-112 from mother to son.

She sadly left telling Will: "I can't do this anymore, he belongs in a home this is no way for him to live".Īfter the death of the chimpanzee Bright Eyes, Will brought her newborn infant son home as a "temporary house guest".

Irena cared for Charles when Will was working at Gen-Sys Labs, but left on bad terms after Charles's condition worsened and he became increasing violent toward her. Originally the house belonged to retired musician teacher Charles Rodman, still living with his son Will since he was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
