Isaac Chroner was born, according to the age of the movie provided, September 19, 1973. As a young child, he developed a highly advanced vocabulary, was taught by the church how to preach, and stayed in the cornfields often. When he was only seven, he killed his parents and went to Gatlin, Nebraska through the cornfields, so as to not be disturbed. As time went by, people realized his mission: to rid the town of the adults who inhabit it and make way for the glorious coming of He Who Walks Behind The Rows, in order to fulfill the prophecy (see below). The original "giver of his word", he took over after the children of Gatlin began to see him as a leader figure, following him into the corn and listening to his preaching of He Who Walks Behind The Rows. Over a period of time, he authored THE BOOK OF DIVINE ENLIGHTENMENT, or as some say the Children of the Corn bible. Eventually, the children completely converted to his way of thinking, and murdered their own parents at his will. It was around this time that he made the prophecy that He Who Walks Behind the Rows will awaken when the daughter of the original chosen and the son of the original chosen provide a new generation of the chosen children. He's loyal to He Who Walks Behind The Rows, and typically obeys him. However, by the end of Children of the Corn Isaac becomes power-hungry, and is struck down by his own God. After the events of the first film, the children of Gatlin manage to bring him into hiding, while preserving his status in critical care. When diagnosed, it was found that he had suffered two fractures to the head which required stitching, that his ankles and wrists were severely bruised, his arm joints were torn, and he'd shifted two plates in his back. He fell into a coma and woke up nineteen years later. He was determined to resurrect the corn religion, but couldn't successfully pull off all that was required of him, being weak and unwilling to meet the harsher demands of He Who Walks Behind The Rows. When he challenged He Who Walk Behind The Rows' demands, he was killed, with the coroner's report stating that the cause of death was heart organ failure due to stabbing and apparent blood lost.
