[[WMG: In the reboot, [[spoiler: being trapped in Calypso's painting]] was part of the [[BatmanGambit Preacher's plan all along]]]]
As something of a bonus in the game, we see Preacher Jebediah in a few cutscenes, claiming he will stop Calypso. He later ends up [[spoiler: trapped in the painting alongside a horde of people]]. At first it looks like he just got defeaed by Calpyso, like everybody else. But pay attention to his speech earlier in the game: "[...] I will wake the suffering from their slumber of fear! And once awaken, we shall rise on this very night and tear down your tower OF SIN!". [[BatmanGambit Being trapped there was his plan all along, so he could create an uprising from within the prison to free the people trapped in there]].

Everything about ''Twisted Metal 2012'' Calypso implies [[spoiler:he's [[{{Satan}} the Devil]]]]. The Preacher believes he has the ability to manipulate time. And [[spoiler:most of his trophies are items from earlier games]], despite most of the games being very shaky on continuity with each other and especially with his game. Not to mention [[spoiler:the Blades of Chaos from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' and the cover of ''VideoGame/WarOfTheMonsters'']] which don't even take place in the same universe.
