Chuck Greene (Dead Rising)

Chuck Greene (b. 1983) is an ex-motorcross champion and the loving, yet determined father of Katey Greene. He was involved in the unfortunate zombie outbreak of Las Vegas that cost the life of his wife, Pam, and nearly Katey’s as well as his own.

He serves as the primary protagonist of the upcoming Dead Rising 2 videos.
== Biography ==
=== History ===
Chuck Greene was born around 1982. Although most of his backstory is vague, it is noted that he eventually became a famous motorcrosser, as stated by many others and his specialization of motorbikes. Around 2004, two years before the first ever zombie outbreak of Willamette, Colorado occurred, Chuck had a daughter named Katey with his wife, Pam, despite Chuck being 22 at the time, which is a relatively young age.
=== Las Vegas Outbreak, 2008 ===
At the time of the outbreak in Las Vegas, Nevada, Chuck and his family were going to a motorcross event at an arena. Chuck took part in the event and won, only to see that cheers turned into screams as he noticed zombies attacking people. He witnessed Pam being bit and turned into a zombie, who in turn, bit Katey on the arm. Chuck managed to rush to the two, but was forced to mercy kill Pam. He took Katey to the local pharmacy to find Zombrex, a drug that delays zombification for 12 hours. Chuck narrowly managed to administer the dose before Katey could turn and although he initially believed he lost her, she commented how the shot hurt. The two then escaped Vegas in their truck, ending up in the town of Still Creek, where another zombie outbreak started. Although their truck was stolen, Chuck managed to escape with Katey after finding more Zombrex for her and repairing a bike. The two found the truck totaled on the side of the road, with the thief dead inside. In there, Chuck recovered his signature yellow motorcross jacket, Katey’s backpack, and a few boxes of Zombrex. The two then rode off into the desert.
=== Fortune City Outbreak, 2011 ===
Three years after the Las Vegas and Still Creek incidents, Chuck is still caring for Katey, having made their way to Fortune City, Nevada, a Las Vegas-themed adult playground resort full of casinos.
=== Stranded and Phenotrans Infiltration ===
After Sullivan’s death, Chuck flee back to the safe house to pick up Katey and Stacey and go home. However, he noticed Katey had dropped her backpack, which carried Pam’s things. Chuck grabbed the bag that was laying near the elevator, only for the doors to open and reveal a zombified T.K., who grabbed Chuck’s arm and proceeded to pull him into the elevator that was infested with zombies. Stacey took notice and rushed over, where she tried to help, but to no avail. Chuck ordered for her to go and take care of Katey as he tossed her her backpack. Stacey helplessly watched as Chuck is pinned down as the doors close, trapping him. Stacey returned to the helicopter and flew off with Katey, now being her caretaker. Chuck was seen still surrounded by zombies.
Some time later, Chuck was shown to still be alive, having killed the other zombies, save for T.K., still trapped in the elevator. With his continuous battle came his exhaustion, as he attempted to struggle against T.K., only to be pinned again. Before Chuck could be killed, the elevator doors opened and T.K. is suddenly put down by a baseball bat. Chuck’s savior is revealed to be the infamous photographer, Frank West, who arrived to presumably either find Chuck, Rebecca, or both. Frank realized that Chuck was the man on the TV, but Chuck tried to explain he was set up by Phenotrans. Chuck initially treated him with hostility as Frank stated that he has a great bounty on his head, but he revealed that he did not quite believe what occurred on TV. Chuck revealed that Phenotrans were responsible and that they killed Rebecca, much to Frank’s horror and sadness. Chuck attempted to re-enter the city to find more evidence, only for Frank to stop him, telling him that Fortune City is going to be leveled any second. Frank then filled him in that there was a facility west of the city limits and that he was going to investigate with Rebecca, but permitted to come under the condition that was not responsible.
=== Non-Canon Endings ===
If one follows Dead Rising 2 plots and gameplay, Chuck can earn different endings, but ultimately die in most of them. These are non-canon and therefore, Chuck’s true fate is not altered.
* Ending B - In this ending, Chuck failed to either solve the true reason behind the sewer gases or catch and kill Sullivan in time and is incinerated in the firebombing on the scheduled time of 7:00 A.M. the next morning, along with whoever was in Fortune City.
* Ending C - In this ending, Chuck failed to find evidence of his innocence and decided to wait in the bunker until the military arrive. Around 10:00 A.M., Chuck waited with Katey and Stacey in the security room of the safe house, where as they watched their arrival, they heard loud gunshots coming from outside of the room. Chuck went to investigate, where he spotted the attacker, only to be immediately shot twice in the chest and murdered.
* Ending D - In this ending, Chuck failed to solve the mystery of the outbreak and was outside of the bunker by the time the military arrived. He was captured and detained in a Humvee, but it suddenly stopped, much to the confusion of the soldiers. As the door opened, green gas began to seep in and Chuck was shown looking in fear. He was eaten alive by the gas zombies off-screen.
* Ending F - In this ending, Chuck failed to find and administer Katey’s daily dose of Zombrex and decided to wait inside the bunker by 10:00 A.M.. Chuck, at this point, became desensitized and unresponsive to everything around him, with the guilt of his daughter’s death destroying him. Stacey attempted to comfort him, but to no avail. Stacey then noticed zombies breaching the safe house and attempted to shut the door in the room, only to be pushed back and forced to flee by a zombie, which walked in. Two zombies then proceeded to advance on Chuck and since he no longer cared, committed suicide by allowing himself to be grabbed and dragged to the floor by zombies, who proceeded to eat him alive, while Stacey watched in horror.
* Ending S - Despite being a good ending and confirmed canon by developers, it was later retconned in favor of Ending A by Dead Rising 3. In this ending, Chuck gave T.K. Zombrex and defeated Sullivan. Chuck returned to the safe house, only to see that Katey and Stacey were missing. After hours of looking, T.K. finally called Chuck and told him that if he ever wanted to see the girls again, he needed to fetch some things for the man. Chuck found all of the requested items and returned to the arena, where T.K., going back on his word, ambushed him and tased him into unconsciousness. Chuck reawakened dangling by his feet on a rope over a stadium full of zombies while noticing the girls were tightly tied together, slowly being lowered. Chuck regained his senses and climbed the rope up to the catwalk, where the crank for their rope was. As he tried to raise them up, only for T.K. to attack him again. Chuck battled T.K. on the catwalk while ensuring Katey and Stacey didn’t get lowered to the zombies. After finally defeating T.K., Chuck tried to raise them again, only for the man, who was not finished yet, to rise up to try and strangle Chuck. As T.K. said “You gotta be willing to risk it if you’re ever really gonna-“, Chuck gained his strength and hurled him over the railing to his death, finishing his sentence, saying “Win Big”. Chuck raised the girls back up to the catwalk and after embracing them, joined hands with them as they walk away, with a zombie jump scaring the players.
