Eric Daniels, you typical American cowboy. Pre Apocalypse Daniels was a marine, he was on for a raise to being an officer. Till the virus. Daniels crew was deployed to do recon on the virus' spread in Russia. During recon Eric's crews helicopter crash landed, leaving his whole team wiped out. Well at least Eric thinks so, 1 member from his unit wasn't there, the second gunner on the chopper. Eric found this to be useless information because he swears there is no way anyone else could have survived the crash he lived. Because of Eric Daniels emotional attachment toward his unit his main goal in this new life is to enforce his version of justice and retribution. Eric scourers the forest in which he calls his home, giving him memory of his units vacation at Yosemite national park. Daniels is known to be a bit sarcastic and have a bit of a humor when you warm up to him, but beware his ego has a switch once in a gunfight. Daniels does know how to operate an aircraft via his father teaching him when young. His father was also a marine however he was a pilot for a Blackhawk.
