Character Biography
Prior to the events of the outbreak, Chad had an unhappy relationship with his wife that ended in her death when he was riding home one night under the influence of alcohol and ran her over accidentally. The incident scarred Chad mentally only serving to worsen his alcohol dependency and weaken his mental state. The accident was covered up by the government to ensure Chad's employment; believing him to be a necessity for several of their on-going projects.

During the outbreak, Chad took shelter in his office; barricading the door with his table, which proved to be useless against an energy blast from a Predator. The predator lifted Chad high above his head and threw him through a glass panel, leading to Chad falling down two floors, then landing awkwardly on a table; which broke several of his ribs. The Predator then spared at Chad, laughing at his pathetic existence. Chad later met up with officers Monaco and Dandy.

When fleeing from monsters, the incident involving his wife from earlier played out in Chad's head as a sort of flashback, but this time the sequence was altered; Chad rushed up to his wife to check on her after the accident only to be greeted by a demonic visage; his wife laughing manically whilst screaming "DEAD BY DAWN, DEAD BY DAWN" prompting Chad to believe he is being influenced by an external force.
