Yorick Brown
A young amateur escape artist, Yorick is the last man on Earth. He is often reckless and tries to defuse tense situations with his humor. He is an under-achiever and a slacker, but actually quite bright. He has a degree in English, knows far too much about pop culture, and has "F*** Communism" engraved on his lighter. Yorick mentions that the engraving was inspired by a "graphic novel" he read, (presumably Garth Ennis' Preacher). It has since been learned the only real reason he survived the plague is due to the fact that he owned Ampersand, a Capuchian monkey who survived the plague. Handling Ampersand's feces and cleaning him up gave Yorick Ampersand's resistance to the plague as well.
