Gilbert Donohue

==Background==
Gilbert Donohue was a veteran Captain Green Beret, one of the first, who served in Vietnam. He was specifically trained to go into foreign lands and make friends with the locals to achieve a mission. He would suffer many  nightmares of those years in later life. Following his military service, Gilbert and his wife Martha operated a chain of Italian restaurants that had belonged to his wife's family. They had no children, but lived a good life together. They bought a home on Prospect Circle just a short distance from the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy. As they neared retirement, Gilbert and his wife decided to scale down their businesses, and sold their restaurants to a chain, but kept the distribution center called Donohue Imports.  
Gilbert Donohue began having dreams on June 6, 2010 prompting him to fortify his house, collect supplies and ammunition, and try to explain to his wife the sudden change in his behavior. On June 23, 2010, Gilbert had an argument with his wife when he tried to persuade her to stay home from work. When news reports started describing the events of that day, he tried desperately to reach her, but never saw her again. Gilbert was a man with great instincts, who looked at every angle, and only showed his hand when absolutely necessary. As such, he remained quietly in his home throughout the next six months, cutting small trees from his yard for firewood, and surviving on the supplies he'd accumulated. In November, using an old ham radio, he made contact with the town Sheriff, Brian Moore. He'd been friends with Moore's father for more than twenty years, and thought of the young sheriff as his own son. Despite their relationship, Gilbert refused to leave his home. He kept to himself, even after hearing hammering and gunfire at the nearby campus all summer long. It wasn't until a trio of neighbors, who had starved to death, broke free from their home and attacked him that he was forced to make his presence known, and on December 20th, he made his first contact with Adrian Ring.
