==History== The Tail was kept very cold and dark because of limited power. During the first couple of years, there were [[Tailie Cannibalism Cult|cannibal kill cults]] in the Tail (including [[Pike]]). One gang in particular, they would kill anyone, eat anyone. Having no choice, the rest of the Tail including [[Andre Layton]] ambushed and killed it’s leader and brought it to a end. Layton and a group of Tailies, then ate a piece of the leader’s heart, so that no one could say they were innocent and vowed never again. The rest of the train thought it (the cannibalism) was a myth. During the [[Year Two Rebellion]], the [[Sub-Train]] doors were sealed, but the Tailies compromised the hinges (locks) and managed to open them. During the [[Year Three Rebellion]] the Tail revolted, but was blind at every door and was defeated, 62 were killed and 13 (including Old Ivan) lost a arm. During this revolution, the Tailies used fertilizer bombs created by [[Lights]]. Only the Tailie War Council knew of the existence of Lights’ cookbook containing recipes for bombs and other such weapons. When Snowpiercer traveled through mountains, it consumed a lot of power, so power in the Tail (including heat) was sacrificed. The Year-Four Slowdown lasted a month. It started with darkness and water rations. Seven years after departure, the Tail had their rations cut again and were being starved to extinction. The women were being sterilized and there had not been a child born in the Tail for five years. After celebrating his 84th birthday, [[Old Ivan]] hung himself, causing the Tail to revolt. During the failed revolution, 14 Tailies and at least 13 Jackboots are killed. After the failed revolution, [[Suzanne]] has her arm frozen as punishment and later dies from an infection. After the avalanche, [[Ruth Wardell]] announced to the Tail, the children chosen for Apprenticeship selection, were Mikala Mwanza, Mia Kaisheck and [[Miles]]. They were later removed. After realising they were a day behind climbing the Sierra Madre and consuming power, because of damage from the avalanche; the Tailies were afraid that their drain of resources, would eventually outweigh their value as labor and would be uncoupled from the train. When the revolution came, Layton said they march for everyone that they have lost to hunger and sickness, to all the failed rebellions.
