Frank West

Francis Algernon West, better known as Frank West, is a middle-aged freelance photojournalist with a personality combining determination and a drive for uncovering truth, with dry wit and courage in face of danger. While he can occasionally get carried away trying to get the perfect shot, and is far from the most polished or professional in his field, Frank West is ultimately a strong, genuinely kind, and decent man underneath a whole lotta snark. Frank wears a black jacket with a white button-up shirt, green pants and brown shoes, and a white Mega Man branded watch. His camera is always hanging around his neck, when it isn't in his hands.

Having arrived in Willamette, Colorado for the scoop of a lifetime - Frank West received more than he bargained for when he uncovered a conspiracy to infect the entirety of the United States with zombies. He did his best at the time, rescuing survivors, defeating psychopaths and zombies alike, and getting to the bottom of the true case behind both the current zombie attack in Willamette Parkview Mall and the past actions of the U.S. military in Santa Cabeza.

Three weeks later after Willamette, Frank tried to expose the Pentagon and the U.S government for the involvement with the incident, but due to lack of sufficient evidence, he was buried - though the government was forced to admit their involvement in the livestock program. He got himself a talk show (titled Uncovered) that was swiftly cancelled, and about 15 minutes of fame. He also was infected in the process - though he's able to fight it off with a special vaccine designed to subdue its effects.

Frank is a proficient fighter, despite being nothing more than some guy with a camera. Over the course of his experience in the mall, Frank learned many ways of survival such as wrestling moves, tackles, double lariats, spitting in people's eyes, grabbing just about anything that isn't nailed down to bludgeon zombies to death, and eating all sorts of garbage in order to keep himself healthy. The man can down an entire baguette in a second. It's genuinely impressive.

Overall, he's one hell of a journalist. A hotheaded, underhanded, hotshot paparazzi with nothing better to do than to invade people's privacy. He's covered wars, you know.
