Mark II wanders about in groups searching for flesh, savagely attacking whatever he finds. Frederic Frederic is believed to have been created from a former researcher in the building. His strength puts him in a league of his own, and he'll keep coming at you even with holes blown through his stomach. MONSTER FILE Azteca Azteca drags along an enormous steel frame and has exceptional power he wields a metal chain in one hand as though it were as light as straw. His weak point is his somewhat slow movement. Kageo A mummified zombie. Of his appearance, only the shape of his upper body is known. Rogan Commandos The elite soldiers who stormed the building and tried to seize control. They remain trapped in a state between life and death, but they retain the superior fighting abilities they once honed through strict training. Raymond Raymond uses his buzzsaw saws to cut through anything that stands in his way. He grinds the blade against metal more for a flashy display than to keep the saw sharp. Cain Cain is the result of an experiment to create zombies fused with vegetable matter. He is as tough as an oak and his whip slices through the air with an audible crack to inflict more pain than poison ivy. Julie The remains of a former building employee. Julie will stubbornly pursue anything that comes her way and attack by flailing her numbed arms. Morris Carries a longhandled axe. Staggering under the weight of the axe, he may look like he can't handle such a weapon - but be careful: he puts his back into his fearsome attack. 22 23 STORY TM CHARACTERS 18th December, 1998 - The incident at Curien Mansion That chilling episode was only a hint of the nightmare to come.

He has a passionate and emotional side that comes out in every situation. Lacking experience - he joined AMS only a year ago - he tries to make up for it with initiative. He can be reckless, and this sometimes causes problems for James. Side by side, AMS Special Agents James and Gary are ready for action. And what are the mysterious Goldman's real intentions? James Taylor A special agent for the governmental organization AMS. He is always cool and rational, never relying on intuition or guesswork. [. . . ] You will find it hard to aim your gun at Gregory, because he uses his sword to defend as skillfully as he does to maim. Mickey Mickey is a small zombie who wields knives in both hands. His method of attack is to leap down at his target from roof tops and other high places. Even if Mickey throws both knives at you, there's no time to relax: He can produce an unlimited supply of knives from his hip holster. Randy Randy is a small, maskwearing zombie. Don't be fooled by his small stature because Randy is a vicious little monster who can run along walls and ceilings as easily as on floors. [. . . ]
