Dominic grew up in Nyheim pretty much his entire life, he spent most of it learning how to hunt and survive in the wilderness. When the infection had happened, he already had mastered the art of moving stealthily, and not being seen nor heard. He was a good marksman, and excelled at long range. By the time he was 15, he was able to hunt on his own, and started getting really good at killing animals without missing any shots. If he wanted the animal dead, it was dead. Then the infection started spreading across Nyheim. He traveled around with his family, until the camp they had was overrun. While on the run from the camp, he had lost sight of his mom and dad, and wasn't able to find them. Now he travels alone, preferring the quiet over the noise and needs of others.
