Virus Undead

A medical student who returns to his childhood home to settle his grandfather's affairs. He pushes for rational investigation and, along with his allies, uses Bergen's lab to study the virus. He makes hard choices to protect others and ultimately faces the outbreak with cautious optimism about containment, even as danger remains. He survives the dawn when soldiers intervene and take him for testing.

Robert's ex-girlfriend who confronts him about their past and becomes involved in the crisis. She reconciles with Robert and participates in the group’s efforts to understand the virus, standing by him as tensions rise. Her resolve and support help anchor the team through escalating danger.

A medical student with a volatile temperament who is initially antagonistic toward Patrick. Depressed and prone to reckless acts (absinthe-fueled gloom, suicide attempt), he taunts Patrick with grim diagnoses while secretly contributing to the group’s fight against infection. He becomes infected and, in a moment of clarity, sacrifices himself.

A biology student who is friends with Marlene and becomes entangled in the romantic dynamics around the group. She flirts with Patrick, but ultimately joins the others in dealing with the crisis and retreats to safety as danger mounts. She remains a supportive ally who helps the group navigate the outbreak.

A famous medical researcher who uncovers a vaccine against the avian-like outbreak. His findings reveal that the virus has mutated, triggering aggression in the birds and complicating containment. He is killed by his test subjects, underscoring the peril of playing with dangerous pathogens.

The town bully who runs a roadkill-based fast-food service. He becomes infected and transforms into a violent, savage threat within the mansion, culminating in a confrontation where Robert is forced to kill him.
