Alan Mills



Alan Mills--simply referred to as "Al"--is a character appearing in Mad World: A New Day as a protagonist. David Duchovny is used as the character's likeness.

The Story
Alan was a relatively successful lawyer with a loving family prior to the outbreak. When news of the infection first broke out, Alan hurriedly left the state with his wife and child only to be ambushed by marauders who stole their equipment, killed his wife and daughter, then left him for dead. Alan barely survived the incident, relying solely on his hated for humanity to see the night through. After the attack, Alan became mentally unhinged, ultimately tracking down the killers of his family. When he found them, Alan tortured them for days before finally killing them. At some point, Alan came across a safe zone of survivors whom ultimately flourished into what is now referred to as: "The Garden".

At an unspecified date, Alan became a member of The Disciples.

Mad World: A New Day
Alan is first shown smoking a cigarette when Andrew O'Bannon passes by and comments on his addiction to nicotine. "That stuff'll kill ya'" he comments. "Yeah? So will the dead." Alan sardonically responds.

Alan and the rest of his fellow Disciples all gather around and discuss their intentions of murdering Jordan Welch. Alan is the only one uncomfortable with the idea, commenting on the insanity of it. Feeling disgusted, Alan leaves the room to clear his head. Alan meets up with his friend Chiyou; a masked mercenary who acts as the muscle of the group. Alan pleads with Chiyou not to follow the rest of the Disciples into combat, but Alan is shrugged off.

Alan decides to report the Disciples' actions to Jordan.. Alan barges into the man's room and demands they discuss the events that are about to occur. Not wanting to sell his friends out completely, Alan sugarcoats the truth somewhat instead trying to showcase their growing insanity to Jordan as opposed to telling him their true plan directly. Jordan ignores Alan's pleas, which prompts Alan to walk out--frustrated. Alan, then decides that he's going to leave The Garden for good. Unbeknownst to him, Alan is being followed by Chiyou--who holds in his possession a loaded pistol, presumably with the intentions of killing Alan.
