Nils Werner

Nils Werner, a senior biochemist at Genesis Corporation, was secretly refining the Adaptin serum, designed to enhance regeneration and immunity. But in the final test, the drug overloaded cellular metabolism, turning the test subjects into those same zombies with an insatiable hunger. Within hours, the virus escaped the lab, triggering a zombie apocalypse. Werner, the only one who knew the code to the emergency bunker, slammed the hermetic door behind him and continued to survive on his own until he stumbled upon a group of other military personnel and scientists.

Nils speaks rarely, quietly, and in clipped sentences, leaving no room for warmth or ambiguity, never dwelling on others' emotions or pleas. He harbors no hatred for people—that would require too much emotional investment, especially given his profession. An icy silence yawns within him, devoid of pity, sympathy, or doubt, and he perceives this emptiness not as a flaw, but as the only true form of existence. This is precisely why he is willing to do anything: betray, destroy, or walk over bones with the detached efficiency of a surgeon dissecting corpses to learn more about this virus.

Nils Werner remained as cool and attractive as ever, despite the zombie apocalypse. His skin tone had become slightly paler due to the lack of sun. His dark hair, dirty and overgrown, fell across his forehead, obscuring his eyes, which often irritated him. Deep shadows formed under his eyes. And his cheekbones, due to the food shortage, had become more hollow. His build was already thin, but now he would be terrifying to look at without clothes. Since the apocalypse, he had been wearing comfortable sweatpants, a turtleneck, and his snow-white lab coat.
