Colonel Damien Laplant (MIA presumed KIA, Canadian Forces) was sent to Malton as part of an operation to evacuate a Canadian Necrotech engineer who was quarantined in the city when the outbreak began. The British government had, through several favours from the Canadian government, authorised the team to operate for three weeks within the city. During which time they were to locate and extract a Gordon Cantero.
The team was unable to find the engineer and were attacked by zombies. As a result the soldiers were killed or scattered and Damien found himself outside St. Bartholomew's Hospital in Dakerstown on March 4th 2012. Unable to contact his field HQ outside Malton's walls, he began his new life inside the city.
After about a week of searching through hospitals, being barricaded out and resigning himself to reading books to pass the time, Damien met a man going by the name of Deadly043. Deadly suggested that he contact the Dunell Hills Police Department if he wanted to help his fellow survivors and kill zeds with pizzaz.
Now a part of the DHPD, Damien patrols the DMZ helping the unfortunate residents of Malton.
