Conan W. McClelland

Biography
Conan W. McClelland was the sheriff of York County, Pennsylvania. When mysterious radioactive fallout began mutating the bodies of the unburied dead, turning them into flesh-eating ghouls, McClelland led a posse of deputies and volunteers throughout the county, exterminating the zombies wherever he found them. He gave a televised interview to a local news reporter, providing them tips on how to combat the zombie hordes. He indicated that they were slow and weak, but were also invulnerable to most conventional forms of injury. The only way to stop them was to destroy the brain and burn the remains. McClelland's posse made it to a rural farmhouse in Parkville in the early morning hours. After picking off several zombies with their sidearms, they arranged them into a pile and set it on fire. One of McClelland's men spotted a face in the window of the house. Under his instruction, the deputy shot the man, not realizing that he was actually a human survivor.
