Judge Cal
Judge Cal (a character based on the infamous Roman emperor Caligula), as head of the SJS, managed to take over Mega-City One (as Chief Judge) by brainwashing the other Judges, framing Dredd for murder and hiring the mercenary Kleggs (payed in fresh citizens) to cement his grip on power. He was responsible for the construction of the West Wall, in order to keep the citizens from escaping. Tales subsequent to The Day the Law Died are either flashbacks or feature other-dimensional versions.
