Neal Jennings

Neal jennings is aa pilot who serves in the military encampment. he fought by Billy's side in the battle of Xianfar, and was close when Billy sacrificed himself to destroy the ziggurats. He and Billy were childhood friends and they enlisted to join the air force together. as a result, William knew him long before the apocalypse. William also wanted to join the air force but his eyesight wasn't perfect so he wasn't accepted.
When the group reached the military encampment again, he confirmed Billy's death, and said he was close when it happened. When Redrick announced they were going underground, he objected and he joined william in his coup. He said he couldn't just give up after Billy had given his life for them all, and gave them a fighting chance.
During the next events, he was always by William's side, but when the attack on the ziggurat prison took place,, he was left behind because he was injured. When Redrick took control again, he was held and Redrick negotiated intto not handing him over. A strong debate occured, but Neal intervened and said it was ok for him to stay. Redrick said he was keeping them because he wouldn't hand over his own men, and said he would keep them as leverage, should William and his alien friends ever return again.William promised they would never return, and they left.
After the group left, Redrick was angry and also needed to show he was the one in charge. he consulted his only trusted lieutenant, who was very law-abiding and said the only punishment for treason was death. The same night, Redrick sent his men to capture those who joined William, and had them all shot the next morning. Ever since, he and his men remain in the encampment
