Charles Williams

==Background==
Charles was a civil engineer and lived in Westfield with his wife Patty and their two children, Abigail and Randy. As a child he had been the tiny kid who was good in math and couldn't play sports and always had trouble talking to women. 
Charles survived the first six months of the zombie apocalypse with his family by scavenging for food around their neighborhood. He had bad dreams while still in Westfield about the people at the school coming to take Patty and Abby. Visions of rape, torture and worse were in his dreams. He was anxious and having trouble dealing with the new world. He felt inadequate with useless skills. Charles was reticent about moving to ALPA despite the pleas of his family. It wasn't until after they'd almost completely depleted their food supply and wood for the fireplace, that he decided to take the risk to move his family out of Westfield. He drove very carefully through the snow and ice to the Auburn Lake community. The family car ran out of gas just shortly before turning onto Auburn Lake road, Charles was attacked by a zombie while walking towards the campus, and was rescued by his son Randy. The Williams arrival at ALPA brought others in their wake, and the night of their arrival, Adrian was shot at by Senator Stockwell and two of his men from the Westfield school. In the days that followed, Charles helped stand guard, and during the first wave of the attack a few days later, Charles' loose trigger finger killed many of those who were surrendering. He held a lot of guilt over that, and complained severely of back pains for a time after to avoid manual labor. After a shooting session with Adrian, Charles began to feel more comfortable, despite his constant arguing with Patty. Along with Adrian and Patty, they were able to install a wood burning stove in Hall A which his family used as their residence. During a trip to the fire station, Charles broke his arm after forgetting he had a second gun on him, and needed Percocet for the pain. After first contact with the STIG survivors, Charles was the first to suggest they move there for safety. His mind was made up following the gas station attack by Westfield.
