Formerly Jeremy Dimmswick Audrey St. Lucia Hattersley III, Dimmswick enlisted in the military to be refered to by only a single name, and also to exercise his great love of combat communication protocols. Career military for 25 years, he retired at the age of 44 to pursue his lifelong hobby of HAM radio operation.

News of the infestation first reached Dimmswick through his HAM radio set, which was destroyed that night along with most of his property by a roving band of fresh corpses. The ex-scout easily evaded the undead, grabbing only a flare gun before hurling himself from his second-story apartment window into the building across the way. The flare gun was used to start a fire in the abandoned warehouse where he stayed that first, uncertain night.

For the next number of weeks Dimmswick put his former military skills to use while roving the city, and discovered that, largely, the people were united by regional ties, which limited their ability to respond to the massive hordes he occasionally glimpsed through his binoculars out second- and third-story windows. Dimmswick, having at this point acquired a few new HAM receivers, decided to change this, and set about creation of the Malton Radio Defense Network, which he believed could unite the survivors of the outbreak against the undead.

Following the fall of Giddings Mall (and his subsequent death), Dimmswick shambled to Santlerville where he was most kindly revived. He has since taken up residence in and around Dowdney Mall, one of his earlier haunts. It's been noted that his stubble is back to its appropriate sandpaper-rough shortness.
