Crispin Hawthorne

Pre-Apocalypse
Growing up, Crispin's family had a history of Military men. Trying to live up it their standards, he joined the National Guard and soon was promoted to the Special Operations unit. In 2012, he was shipped to Moscow on a secret mission regarding a new outbreak plaguing the streets, known as the "Iasi" virus. He watched his men fall and managed to return to the states unharmed. Suffering from minor PTSD, he stepped down from his position and joined a Detective Agency in Roanoke, Virginia. Upon arriving, he was partnered with Paul Santiago, a man investigating a series of murders.

Post-Apocalypse
Paul informs Crispin that the case they are working on involves a serial killer, who is every year on the same day, killing a small girl, always a year older following the last victim. They check the database on local orphanges, trying to predict which one the killer might choose next. Going on a whim, they choose the one closest to the station.

They arrive and talk to one of the social workers. She makes them fill out papers and wait in the waiting room. A good hour passes with no results. Crispin decides it's best to go find them. But, when he stands up, he hears screaming from down the hall. Raising his gun, he signals Paul to follow. As they turn the corner, he sees workers getting tackled by kids, looking as if they were trying to eat them. Blood pools filled the halls. Kids were screaming down the halls, some were taken down as quick as they opened their mouths, others ran into rooms. Paul stood in shock at the sight and Crispin didn't think twice before unloading his clip into the crowd. Pauls shoots for them, only aiming for the bodies. Crispin tells him to shoot for the head, but it doesnt process right away. Crispin sighs and grabs Paul, pulling him into the closest room.

Inside, a small group of kids were huddled in the corner. Crispin manages to clam them down before turning to Paul, who still hasn't grasped the situation. He asks how he knew how to put them down, and Crispin informs him about his past mission in Russia. Paul's in shock.
