• He won't have sex with a stranger or someone he knows nothing about, and is currently completely against any contact with anyone else, as he's afraid of getting infected if he does.

[Background: Rob was visiting his younger sister in America while he was on vacation when it all started. During the panic, he, his sister and her fiancé were trying to drive to another state. The highway was blocked and they turned off the road, ending up somewhere out of the way. For several weeks they took shelter at a gas station, as the road beyond was closed as well. After a lull, they tried to drive out again, but it ended with death of Elizabeth's fiancé. Soon they were nailed to a small group of survivors moving north, where it was rumored to be safe. They never made it to the desired shelter, as the place (by rumours) was already to be occupied by marauders. The group ended up staying somewhere on the border, establishing camp on the grounds of a countryside resort area. Rob had always been a good shot, and so he became one of the group's hunters. On one of the hunts, he and a couple other guys hit a nest of Rotters. One guy died instantly and Rob was bitten, but with the help of a second guy they were able to fight back. Rob was kept locked up for a while, assessing the risks and waiting to be turned, but for some reason he didn't turn, receiving only the side effects of the disease. But he continues to help his men by hunting and bringing in game, as well as shooting down the Rotters who wander into their territory. ]

Notes:

• Special Skills: good with firearms hunting weapons, rifles and shotguns, can track prey, and is skilled at cutting and skinning carcasses.
• Worked as a forester in his city, on a plot of land near his house.
• Consequences of the disease: Rob has developed high light and noise sensitivity, is blind in one eye and the other eye is much worse than before, he experiences fine tremors in his limbs, his skin has become pigmented black in places, he often experiences phantom pains in the face and thigh area at the bite site, most often he has no or overly increased appetite, he occasionally experiences general fatigue, he has fever and nausea and vomiting after eating. He may hallucinate. He has nightmares. Wounds and even minor cuts and scrapes do not heal well.
• Rob is probably immune to the disease, but he's not immune to its side effects. It's also unknown how much damage the infection could have done to his body.
• After the infection, Rob almost immediately withdrew from the group and moved to the farthest cabin, where he still lives. He is afraid of infecting someone, because no one knows if it can happen, and he is also embarrassed by his current sickly appearance. He still hunts and brings in prey, but does so alone.
