The San Francisco Ape Colony is the first ever ape clan, founded by Caesar and guided by a council of apes, formed from all the apes of San Francisco who were liberated from human captivity. Following the deaths of Caesar and Blue Eyes respectively, Maurice or Rocket likely became the new king of the colony until Cornelius became old enough to officially become the colony's next king.
History
Foundation
After liberating the apes from their confinement in San Francisco, where they had suffered years of human oppression, Caesar guided his colony to Muir Woods, which became their new territory following the Ape Rebellion. Nevertheless, the humans persisted in their pursuit of the apes, creating challenges for the San Francisco Ape Colony as they were not yet fully equipped to defend themselves. In addition to humans, the apes faced various predators in the woods that threatened their young and made it difficult to find essential food, compounded by their limited survival skills. Fortunately, Caesar's expertise in survival, along with the support of Maurice, Rocket, Koba, and Cornelia, enabled the San Francisco Ape Colony to improve their food sources, defense mechanisms, and educational practices. The colony successfully established a refuge from both humans and other predators within the woods. It evolved into a substantial village, transforming into a more organized community where different apes could live freely. They participated in various activities, such as hunting, teaching sign language, and training in medicine, showcasing their development from a disordered group of wild animals. Under Caesar's leadership and the guidance of his capable lieutenants Rocket, Koba, Maurice, and Luca, the ape colony enjoyed a decade of peace and stability, significantly aided by a deadly virus known as the Simian Flu that drastically reduced the human population.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Re-Discovering Humans
A decade after the Ape Rebellion, Blue Eyes and Ash, the sons of Caesar and Rocket, respectively, encountered a man named Carver while walking in the woods. Alarmed, Carver called for assistance from his group before drawing a revolver and shooting Ash, which alerted Caesar and the apes, who hurried to the scene before another shot could be fired. The apes surrounded the humans as Caesar evaluated the situation. The human leader, Malcolm, assured the apes that they meant no harm and instructed his group to lower their weapons as a gesture of goodwill. To the humans' astonishment, Caesar spoke, telling them to leave, a command echoed by his loyal followers, prompting the humans to retreat.
As the humans departed in their van, Caesar instructed Koba to discreetly track them to determine their origin and whether additional human survivors existed. Later that night, Koba returned to report to Caesar and the other apes. A council meeting was convened, during which many apes expressed their concerns regarding the humans. Some advocated for the elimination of the humans, while others were more interested in understanding the purpose of their visit.
Caesar quieted the council, warning that they risked losing everything they had labored for over the last ten years if they chose to engage in war. He then closed the council session, allowing time for reflection on the matter before reaching a decision by the following day. Koba, a bonobo who had endured mistreatment and suffering at the hands of humans, insisted that Caesar must demonstrate strength to make the humans recognize the capabilities of the apes.
Apes' Threat
The following morning, the army of apes, commanded by Caesar and his officers, marched towards the San Francisco Human Colony, where they confronted the remaining humans. It was at this moment that the humans understood the apes possessed greater intelligence than they had previously assumed, as Caesar spoke in English to emphasize the seriousness of their demands. He informed the now fearful humans that, although the apes sought to avoid conflict, they were prepared to fight if necessary to safeguard their village and ensure its peaceful existence. Caesar then instructed his son to return the sketchbook that belonged to Malcolm's son, Alexander, and he personally cautioned Malcolm to refrain from returning to ape territory, warning that failure to do so would lead to war. With that, the ape army departed the city and made their way back to their village.
Truce with Humans
Later, in the village, the Gorilla Guard apprehended Malcolm for violating Caesar's rule by entering the Ape Territory. The apes sought permission to execute him, but the human begged Caesar for mercy, claiming he had something important to show. Caesar granted Malcolm's request, and the human led him to the San Francisco Dam, where he explained that he and his group needed to work there to generate power for the city and establish contact with other surviving humans. The Ape King permitted the humans to enter Ape Territory on the condition that they surrender their firearms to prevent any further distrust or conflict.
Stability Shaking
Many of the apes became increasingly anxious about the presence of humans in their territory, particularly Koba, who had endured pain and suffering in captivity and chose to secretly observe their city. While some apes developed curiosity towards humans and even established friendships, trust was momentarily shattered when Carver brandished a concealed gun and threatened the sons of the Ape King, jeopardizing the possibility of peace. However, this incident was soon forgotten when Malcolm's second wife, Ellie, provided antibiotics to Caesar's ailing wife, Cornelia, which cured her and restored the humans' standing with the apes.
The apes subsequently chose to assist the humans in their dam construction to expedite their progress, provided that Carver was removed. However, tranquility was not fully assured, as the bonobo Koba and his faction had recently uncovered the humans' armory, where they were training with firearms capable of exterminating all the apes in the village.
Koba, now aware that the humans were armed and posed a significant threat to the Ape Colony, decided to alert Caesar about the imminent danger. Upon reaching the village, he inquired with Blue Eyes about his father's whereabouts, only to learn that Caesar and several apes were at the dam with the humans. Upon arriving at the dam, Koba erupted in anger, confronting the humans and insisting that Caesar come forward. He questioned why Caesar allowed the humans to remain in Ape Territory after they had threatened his sons, accusing him of endangering the apes by permitting the humans to stay.
Koba subsequently announced to the gathered apes that Caesar had a greater affection for humans than for his own kind, including his sons. This accusation provoked a furious response from Caesar, who brutally assaulted Koba. The Ape King relentlessly struck Koba until he was severely injured, refraining from delivering a fatal blow only because he recalled the "Ape Not Kill Ape" principle. Koba pleaded for Caesar's forgiveness and departed the dam with his supporters. However, this act would trigger a series of catastrophic repercussions that would have lasting effects on both humans and apes.
Koba's Usurpation
The apes and humans worked together to repair the dam, and once it was finished, they held a celebration to mark their achievement. After Koba recovered from his confrontation with Caesar, he infiltrated the human armory, where he eliminated two guards and seized an AK-47. Under the cover of darkness, he returned to the village. While the humans and apes reveled in their success, Koba stealthily tracked down Carver and killed him, taking his hat and lighter as trophies. Back at the Ape Village, the apes were taken by surprise when their queen appeared unexpectedly, accompanied by her infant son, who had been healed by the new allies of the apes.
The colony observes as Cornelia is welcomed by her husband and eldest son. Meanwhile, Koba stealthily arrives and instructs one of his followers to set the village ablaze. The bonobo then retrieves his new firearm and moves to a concealed branch, where only Caesar notices him. Their eyes meet before Koba abruptly raises his weapon and fires, hitting Caesar in the shoulder. This causes the Ape King to tumble from his perch into the abyss below, seemingly to his demise. Koba subsequently abandons Carver's belongings and the gun, which is later discovered by Blue Eyes, who reveals the evidence.
As the apes descended into chaos over the death of their leader, flames unexpectedly engulfed their homes, intensifying their panic. However, their fear was alleviated when Koba emerged, seizing the moment to blame the humans for both their king's demise and the devastation of their territory. He urged the apes to retaliate against the humans while they still had the opportunity. Consequently, the ape clan rallied behind Koba, fully uniting against their human adversaries.
A Clan of Madness
Furious over the unexpected assault on their leader and spurred on by Koba, the ape clan was now filled with a fierce desire for vengeance. Koba instructed the females and young apes to remain hidden in the woods while he led the army toward the human settlement in San Francisco. There, they stormed the human armory and advanced on the city just as the humans were celebrating the restoration of their power. Their celebration was abruptly interrupted when the heavily armed apes launched an attack on the human fortress, catching the unprepared humans off guard as they tried to mount a defense, but it proved futile.
The apes experienced a significant reduction in their colony population but managed to breach the wall and enter the city, where they confronted the humans' sophisticated weaponry. Nevertheless, the apes outnumbered the humans and ultimately reversed the situation in their favor, even though they sustained further losses during the conflict.
The humans were engulfed in terror as the apes burst into the tower, violently attacking them and pursuing them through the streets, or ruthlessly gunning them down. Amidst the chaos, Dreyfus, the leader of the human colony, managed to flee underground with his workers. The apes took over the tower, confining many humans in the former Simian Flu containment cells. The following day, Koba marched his army to city hall, solidifying his power by executing Ash after he refused to harm unarmed humans. Koba then had any apes who remained loyal to Caesar detained on a bus alongside the captured humans.
Rebellion
As the colony transformed from a tranquil society into a ferocious empire of wild beasts, it was revealed that their previous leader, Caesar, was still alive. He had been discovered by Malcolm and his family, who had taken refuge in the woods during Koba's assault on the city. They brought the severely injured ape back to his old home for recovery but needed to obtain medical supplies located in Malcolm's apartment. Malcolm offered to go get the supplies just as Koba commanded the apes to scour the city for any surviving humans. Stealthily, Malcolm entered his apartment, evading the nearby apes that were menacing other humans. While gathering the necessary items, he attempted to exit but was confronted by Blue Eyes. The young ape aimed a gun at Malcolm, who promptly surrendered. However, recalling the death of his friend at Koba's hands, Blue Eyes lowered the weapon and chose to walk away.
Malcolm interrupted him by inquiring whether he wished to see his father, a question that both surprised and piqued Blue Eyes' interest. He followed Malcolm to the Rodman House, where he was joyfully reunited with Caesar. After a short reunion and an explanation of the recent events, Ellie provided Caesar with medicine, allowing him to regain his strength later. Caesar then learned from his son that Koba intended to relocate the females and young ones to the city, which made him realize that his wife and infant son were in grave danger. He urged Blue Eyes to confront Koba while he still had the opportunity.
Blue Eyes initially offered assistance to his father but was turned down at first; nevertheless, he eventually earned his father's approval. Upon returning to the city, Blue Eyes freed the apes and humans who had been captured by Koba. With a strong group, he made his way back to the Rodman Residence, accompanied by the apes who remained loyal to Caesar but required a discreet entry into the city. It was then that Malcolm stepped forward to lend a hand. With Malcolm's help, the apes stealthily re-entered the city through an underground passage, while Caesar and his followers climbed the human colony tower, where Caesar confronted his former friend who had become his adversary.
Duel for Power
Koba, taken aback by Caesar's unexpected survival, confronted him, declaring that he no longer belonged among the apes, as they had chosen to follow Koba instead. Caesar countered that they were following him into chaos and conflict. Koba asserted with conviction that the apes would triumph in the war, boasting of their strength and denouncing Caesar as weak. However, Caesar remained unscathed and defiant, retorting that Koba was the one who was truly weak. Enraged by his former ally's remarks, Koba charged at Caesar, igniting a fierce battle to determine who would become the Ape King, while the other apes stood by, eager to witness who would emerge as their leader. As the fight escalated, the two adversaries exchanged bitter insults, each blaming the other for their current predicament. Meanwhile, Malcolm reconnected with Dreyfus and two others, who revealed that they had devised a strategy to combat the apes.
Malcolm quickly shifted his stance and attempted to clarify the situation. However, his attempts were ignored as Dreyfus informed him that his troops had already established communication with soldiers in the north to combat the apes. Dreyfus then revealed the trigger linked to the C4 positioned on the tower and declared, "I'm saving the human race," before activating the explosives. This action resulted in the simultaneous deaths of Dreyfus and his men, while Malcolm managed to escape to safety. The explosion engulfed the tower, ensnaring the apes in the resulting blast.
After the explosion, numerous apes were gravely injured or killed, prompting Caesar to halt his confrontation with Koba and direct his followers to assist the wounded. This act of compassion is met with contempt from Koba, who seizes a gun amidst the chaos and opens fire on Caesar and the other apes, inflicting further injuries and fatalities until he strikes Maurice. Seeing his closest friend in agony ignites a fury in Caesar, leading him to leap and tackle Koba, resulting in both of them tumbling down. While Caesar manages to land safely, Koba is left precariously hanging over a ledge, desperately clinging on.
Caesar moves toward Koba, who pleads for his old friend to rescue him by invoking the "Ape Not Kill Ape" principle. Caesar takes hold of Koba's hand, offering a moment of relief to the bonobo. Yet, as he gazes at the traumatized apes, memories of the death and devastation brought about by Koba flood his mind. Filled with anger and revulsion, Caesar firmly declares Koba is no longer an ape, before letting go of the astonished Koba, leading to his demise and the end of his tyranny.
War on the Horizon
After the battle concluded and Caesar regained control, the apes were reunited with their families and took a moment to rest following the chaos. Soon, a group of apes emerged, holding a man at gunpoint, who turned out to be Malcolm. Caesar commanded them to release him, allowing Malcolm to address the ape leader. Malcolm warned Caesar that following Koba's assault on the city, Dreyfus and his men had managed to reach out to soldiers in the north to combat the apes. He urged Caesar to evacuate the city while he still had the opportunity, or risk igniting a full-scale war.
Caesar, however, is unwilling to abandon his home and sorrowfully declares that the war has already commenced, instigated by his ape colony. He believes that the humans will never forgive the apes for the atrocities committed during Koba's rebellion. He urges Malcolm to take his family and leave before the conflict escalates. The two friends express their regret that peace might have been possible if not for the deep-seated hatred and prejudice that plagued both their races. With heavy hearts, they wish each other luck and say their goodbyes. Malcolm then fades into the shadows as the remaining apes kneel before Caesar, looking to him for direction in the impending battle.
War for the Planet of the Apes: Revelations
War of the Planet of the Apes
War Progresses
Two years after Koba's uprising, Caesar and his clan have engaged in a full-out war with a paramilitary faction known as Alpha-Omega. The apes have adapted their weaponry into that of firearms such as guns and grenades to have a better fighting chance against the soldiers. Due to the destruction of the apes' former home, they abandoned it and made salvation in a hidden cavern with a tunnel system in Ape Waterfall. During the war, some of the apes would leave their colony to live their life in their own colony, as they didn’t want to be involved in the war.
Despite Koba's demise, his legacy lived on as many apes still loyal to him sided with the Alpha-Omega and were called Donkeys.
McCullough's Plan
After a battle at one of the Apes trenches, Caesar was given the chance to kill the remaining human soldiers after the heavy casualties the apes suffered in the battle. But Caesar sought to live in peace and after his clan defeated an Alpha-Omega platoon; albeit; with casualties. He spared the surviving soldiers and showed them mercy as he did not truly hate them and wanted to prove that the apes were not savages. After sending the soldiers away, he continued to hope for peace.
Very soon, Caesar witnessed the return of Blue Eyes and Rocket who tell him that they have located something of importance. At night, a meeting is held and the apes learn Rocket and Blue Eyes have found a suitable place for the apes to evacuate. Many apes prepared for the evacuation and saw the chance to live in peace without having to deal with the war against humanity.
Loss of a Prince and Queen
But J. Wesley McCullough, the commander of the Alpha-Omega, discovered the location of the apes' hideout from a gorilla called Winter, who joined Alpha-Omega after making a deal with Red. McCullough infiltrated the hideout with a few soldiers and succeeded in killing Cornelia and Blue-Eyes, thinking the latter was Caesar.
Fortunately, Caesar was away at the time; since he and a few followers had discovered the soldiers sneaking around and easily killed the intruders. Caesar found a communicator and overheard McCullough broadcast a message to his fellow soldiers that he (supposedly) killed Caesar. Hearing this, Caesar realized what happened to his family and rushed back to them. The Ape King returned to the waterfall opening, only to see McCullough preparing to leave.
McCullough was confused to see Caesar and turned to the bodies of Blue Eyes and Cornelia, to which Caesar directed his gaze and became horrified and enraged at the death of his wife and eldest son. Realizing his mistake, McCullough opened fire at Caesar but disengaged after spotting more apes emerging from the tunnels and jumping out through the waterfall. Caesar pursued, grabbing onto the cable and climbing, but McCullough cut the cable after Caesar knocked the M4A1 Assault Rifle out of his hand, sending the ape falling into the water, while he escaped.
On the Run
Caesar survived the drop and was found by his followers. Caesar also discovered the clan was betrayed by Winter to save himself. Caesar was devastated by his loss but found his youngest son, Cornelius had survived the attack as he had been hidden by his family before the danger. Realizing the apes' location was compromised, Caesar told his followers to head for the location Blue Eyes spoke of while he got revenge on the Colonel.
Caesar's Hunt for Revenge
During his search for the Colonel, Caesar and the apes encountered an evolved former zoo chimpanzee named Bad Ape; who was one of the many apes that; lived elsewhere to have gained increased intelligence over the years.
Captured by the Alpha-Omega
While captive, Caesar was distraught to learn his people were captured by Alpha-Omega during their travel. The apes were being forced to build a wall; by McCullough to protect his army from the incoming Northern Army; who were coming to wipe out the Alpha-Omega; because McCullough went rogue and killed his superiors.
Caesar defended his people from being abused; by the soldiers of the Alpha-Omega; by standing up to them as they saw Caesar still had influence on them. In the days that; followed, McCullough was subjected to torture; but seeing their leader staying strong, kept their spirits high.
Freedom at Last
Fortunately, Rocket, Bad Ape, Nova, and Maurice discovered the camp and hatched a plan to free the captive apes. The plan had Rocket intentionally get himself captured to speak with Caesar and get the provisions needed to perfect the plan. The apes secretly formed a tunnel beneath the camp and escaped notice from Alpha-Omega, who were distracted with fighting the invading Northern Army. While some apes died in the crossfire, most of them made it to safety.
After the human armies were subsequently devastated by a massive avalanche, Caesar and the other apes survived by climbing nearby trees. With the war finally over, the apes departed and crossed the desert to find the oasis. While the other apes joyously celebrated their new home, Maurice discovered Caesar's wound and the latter revealed that; he would soon die. Maurice then spoke, telling Caesar that his son and the colony would know who their savior was, what he stood for, and what he did to protect the apes. Caesar then silently succumbed to his wound and died peacefully while Maurice mourned his passing as the other apes looked on.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
The colony laid Caesar's body to rest on a funeral pier, placed flowers on his body, and then burned the pier. As it burned, they all raised their clenched hands in respect to Caesar's law; "Apes Together Strong”. With their leader dead, Maurice or Rocket possibly succeeded Caesar as the de-facto leader of the clan until Cornelius was old enough to become the next king and honor the legacy of his late father, and would passed on Caesar's legacy to his own offspring after his own passing.
Legacy
Thanks to Caesar’s efforts to save his clan, the San Francisco Ape Colony would continue to expand. At some point, some of the apes would depart from the clan to create their own clans, such as the Eagle Clan and the Coastal Ape Colony. Many generations later, the apes eventually forgot about Caesar. However, some descendants of the clan also formed the Order of Caesar to uphold the ways and teachings of Caesar that had been lost to many clans for generations.
It’s currently unknown if the San Francisco Ape Colony is still active or not, but it’s possibly that the original ape clan was still thriving, and led by the descendants of Caesar.
Population
Following the Battle on the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Ape Colony experienced significant growth over the next decade, reaching approximately 2,000 evolved apes.[1][2] The majority of the colony consists of chimpanzees, complemented by a smaller yet diverse population of gorillas and orangutans. Koba stands out as the only bonobo within the Ape Colony. Winter is also the only known albino gorilla in the Ape Colony.
During the course of the Human-Ape War, the San Francisco Ape Colony suffered significant losses at the hands of humans and Koba. Some apes chose to betray the colony due to their allegiance to Koba, while others left Caesar's colony in an effort to prevent further violence. As a result, the population of chimpanzees, along with a few gorillas and orangutans, dwindled to below 800. However, the colony is anticipated to recover as they adapt to their new environment.
Sub-Groups
- Council of Apes: The Council of Apes where the leading body of the Ape Colony. They consisted of all of Caesar's most trusted Confidants.
- San Francisco Ape Army: The Ape Army are the Ape Colony's military. They were led by both Rocket and Koba.
- Ape Midwives: The Ape Midwives are group of female apes who are mainly tasked to provide support other female apes with pregnancy or illness. They were led by Rocket's wife, Tinker.
- Ape Teachers: The Ape Teachers are a group of ape scholars who are mainly tasked with teaching and educating the ape children. They were led by Maurice.
- Gorilla Guard: The Gorilla Guard are a group of powerful gorillas that are mainly tasked with protecting the ape colony from intruders. They were led by Luca.
- Ape Elders: The Ape Elders are group of elderly apes that served as the spiritual advisors for the Colony.
Known Laws
- APE NOT KILL APE
APES TOGETHER STRONG
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - 'Writings on the wall in Maurice's teaching circle'
After the village was built, Caesar with the help of his newly formed council established laws that the apes must abide by. These laws include:
- Knowledge is Power: This observation probably originates from Maurice's remark, "Ape's stupid," which was made prior to Caesar's introduction of the ALZ-113 virus that enhanced the intelligence of the other apes. Based on the evidence presented, it can be inferred that this statement signifies a significant transformation in the apes, indicating that they have evolved considerably from the chaotic, untamed creatures that humanity once recognized, progressing into a more advanced species over the past decade for a new generation of apes.
- Apes Together Strong: Caesar developed a conviction while he was held captive in the San Bruno Primate Shelter. He held the belief that apes who confront formidable adversaries on their own are feeble, but apes who confront formidable adversaries as a united team are formidable. However, this belief did not lead to arrogance, as Caesar understood that apes are not invincible. This principle would eventually become the most emblematic rule for the tribe, as they support one another and collaborate as a unified entity.
- Apes Not Kill Ape: Caesar established the most severe law in the colony, aiming to unite all apes as a family despite occasional conflicts. The consequences for breaking this law remain unclear, but it is speculated that punishment may include exile, disownment, or even death. Notable apes who have violated this law include Koba, Caesar, and Red. Koba was the first to break it by attempting to assassinate Caesar, causing the death of Ash, and attacking other apes in his failed assassination plot. Caesar ultimately killed Koba in self-defense, denouncing him as no longer an ape due to his destructive actions. Red also violated the law by killing Grey, leading to his exile and alliance with Alpha-Omega. Caesar unknowingly broke the law again by eliminating Winter, a traitorous gorilla who revealed the colony's location, resulting in the deaths of his wife and eldest son.

Trivia
- Nova is the first human to live in the clan, as the apes treated her with compassion; while the Alpha-Omega would kill her on sight as she's a carrier of the evolved ALZ-113 virus. Her history with the clan would cause all apes following Caesar’s teachings to name humans "Nova”.
- Bad Ape was a wanderer who joined the clan after being found by Caesar's group.
- Gorillas and male Chimpanzees acted as the physical strength, whereas the Orangutans and female Chimpanzees took on the role of the caretakers and educators for the young apes.
Notes
- In a promotional video from 20th Century Fox, Mark Bomback confirmed that "Caesar has become something like a king within this community, or at least a leader, and he's really informed the way all the apes treat each other, and they look to him not only for leadership but also for moral guidance". But in the same video, Andy Serkis portrayed the ape colony less as a royal dictatorship than as a democratic republic; "Caesar sets about creating this utopia for all apes, an equality, an egalitarian society".
