Biography
This unidentified person was a male Caucasian of indeterminate age. He lived in rural Virginia during the years following the zombie outbreak. Adorned in a thick red poncho, the man traveled across a grassy field, unaware that he was being watched by two men named Daryl Dixon and Aaron. Daryl and Aaron were recruiters for the Alexandria Safe-Zone and tried to keep tabs on him, but were unable to track him.

The man later encountered a group called the Wolves. The leader of the group, a man named Owen, slit his throat and then took his body to their headquarters. He reanimated as an undead a short time later.
