Garlic

Allison -> Caspian -> Caroline -> Vulcan -> Gamma -> ME

Garlic was a scavenger for the colony, but he truly hated the job. Before Allison sent him and his sister to the doomed dimension, he enjoyed his peaceful life as a photographer. Unlike his twin sister Vienna, Garlic couldn’t and refused to integrate himself into the colony.

Reluctantly, each week Garlic would gather up the scavenging crew and look for resources, which were increasingly difficult to find as they emptied the shops nearby and leftover products spoiled.

While the group was only supposed to look for resources and avoid zombies at all costs, the rebellious Garlic often struck out alone to hunt for zombies. In his mind, he believed that if he took out all the zombies quickly, he would be able to go back to his previous life faster.

It wasn’t until a zombie caught him off-guard that Garlic regretted his decision. A zombie got behind him and bit him on the shoulder, infecting him. However, unlike other infected people, Garlic was able to fight off the urge to bite and consume brains due to his Rifter heritage.

This control made no difference to the colony. They cast him out with no regrets or remorse and they did the same with Vienna when she tried to convince them to let him stay.

The longer Garlic went without eating a brain, the weaker he got. He was unable to use his immunity to the bite to protect his sister and he was unable to protect himself from zombie hunters.

Garlic was filled with regret, but he couldn’t help but stay mad at Allison for putting them in such a dangerous situation. He just wanted to go back to the life he had, but it was no longer possible.
