Prior to the apocolypse Gary was a warm, loving husband and dedicated father. Serving in the US Army throughout the war on terror his outlook on the world and humanity as a whole became jaded. However he could always rely on his wife and son to help him realize all the things in life he held dear. Unfortunately, prior to the zombie outbreak Gary's wife passed away from stage 4 skin cancer which spread to her brain and lungs. Leaving him behind as a single father in the turbulent and unstable days in the world prior to "the end"

When he first heard the stories on the TV, he couldn't believe them. Humans eating other humans alive, with seemingly no reaction to pain or stimuli. Solely driven by the will to devour living flesh. Gary didn't want to believe the news reports. But one tragic evening, while he and his son were out trying to scavenge for supplies he learned all too quickly just how strongly these monsters were driven by the will to consume when his son was pulled from his arms and came down upon by a group of the undead.

Gary had lost everything he held dear on this earth, and the world that remained was one filled with struggle and strife. He remembered the words he was always told in boot camp. "There are wolves, and there are sheep. Which are you?" Gary survived in this twisted new world. But just barely. Stumbling across a group of survivors calling themselves "The Saviors" he proved his dedication to their leader through acting as an enforcer for the group in dealings with other survivor settlements and groups. Gary has nothing on his mind anymore, except making it to see the next sunrise. And will do anything in his power to ensure he does so.
