Henry West

Biography
Major Henry West was the leader of a British military brigade operating out of Manchester, England in the year 2002. Following a viral outbreak, West and his group attempted to quarantine themselves behind a barricade, but he lost many of his men to the infected citizens that attacked them. With his ranks numbering now only a dozen, West sought to learn as much as he could about the Infected. One of his men, Mailer, had become infected and West had him manacled outside the compound so he could see how long it would take an infected human to starve to death.

West recorded a message that he broadcast on all radio frequencies, announcing that he possessed the answer to the virus and offered sanctuary to non-infected citizens. Three survivors, Jim, Selena and Hannah managed to make it to West's compound, but were disheartened when they learned that he did not possess a cure for the infected.
