One of the few survivors of the apocalypse, Richard Dent was once a normal man... He had a loving family, a great job, and a wonderful outlook on life. He never asked for the apocalypse. But it happened. And soon everything he held so close was gone. Alone, he made it his mission to wipe out every last member of the undead hordes that began rising from the ground and terrorizing those humans who remained. Not so much to save others, however, than to get revenge on the monsters that took everything from him. Befriending a trained circus monkey he found wandering the empty streets, he set up a small but well-stocked and defended "home" in the form of an abandoned ice cream parlor. Burning his clothes, which acted as reminders of his past life, he now wears the familiar uniform of an ice cream vendor. Using food and weapons looted from abandoned homes and stores, he continues to dwell in secret, striking at the undead masses whenever any are foolish enough to come near.
