Chris Ferris is a former member of the 501st US Army Battalion. He was born July 7th, 1983.
Joining the Military
At age 18, after having dropped out of high school, Chris joined the US Army to become a Scout Sniper. After the 9/11 attacks, his unit was quickly and discreetly sent to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban. He was merged into a black ops team and spent a year doing blackout work. The CIA and NSA also had him spy for them, sending him to Somalia to check out NecroTech, who had been reported to working in bioterrorist sectors. After Chris's reports claimed false evidence, the assignment was dropped.
Transfer to the 501st
In 2003, when the Iraq War began, Chris, now a Specialist, was transferred to the 501st US Army Battalion, a specialized combat force that was among the first in Iraq. Chris's NCO, Sergeant Killian Ale, taught his platoon about survival tactics, primarily due to his paranoia. Iraq was also where Chris met Lenny Crawson, who would become his best friend. Once the 501st had completed much of their initial invasion tasks, they were reassigned to Afghanistan.
Tragedy in Afghanistan and Afterwards
While on a convoy to the US Ennox Base, Lenny Crawson was shot and killed by a sniper. Chris abandoned his post and chased the sniper for two days before catching up to him and killing him. When Chris was found, he was charged with dereliction of duty and going AWOL. He was never convicted, however, for Sergeant Ale told the court that he had sent Chris on the mission. He promoted Chris to Sergeant and gave him his own platoon, Echo. In mid-2004, Chris was once again promoted to Master Sergeant and received many awards for his actions in Afghanistan.
Malton
When January of 2005 came, Chris left the military and moved to Malton, England, with his girlfriend of two years, Jessica. It was here that he proposed to her. He got a job at a school as a gym teacher and led a fairly normal life. Jessica and him had a discreet wedding and he kept in contact with his 501st buddies, who had been transferred to Malton.
The Incident
When the zombies came, Chris was visiting the 501st at Fort Perryn. He defended the base until it was overrun, and then ran home, only to find his wife undead. Forced to kill her, he tried to resume fighting at Fort Perryn, but most of the 501st were dead or had abandoned. Distraught, he wandered Malton for years, alone and distrusting.
Present Day
Chris still wanders around, though he had been trying to find clues as to what happened to his friends. He found the dead bodies of many of them, including his former Sergeant and a certain Sergeant Corinthias. Chris just seeks to stay alive in th nightmare, all the while discovering what happened to the 501st remnants.
