Norman Gale

Norman Gale is a world known geneticist, and his job is to find as much as he can about the physiology of the different alien species. He works among other scientsts and has provided a lot to achieve the Battle of Xianfar. Norman has taken his family with him, since the place he stays in is as safe as anything. Norman's family consists only from his beloved daughter, Nora, who his wife left under his protection before she passed away from cancer three years before the apocalypse. Norman cared deeply for his wife and is now reeling from her loss. her death makes him sad even today,and in order to not think about it, he is devoted to his job so much that he has cast his daughter aside. Nora complains a lot about this, to the point where she didn't want to go with him in the bunker. Since she has enlisted in the army though, Norman pulled some strings and managed to get her to serve under William Harris, the commander tasked with protecting him and the whole scientific group. 
During the early stages, Jason is tasked with keeping watch on the group while william is absent. Jason leaves to go to the bathroom though, and leechers pass through the door and pour inside the house. Norman, who happens to pss by takes a knife and kills many of them, reducing the rate at which they pass through. Nora runs to him, but can't take any shots in order to avoid hitting her father, and Jason returns too and he barricades the door. Norman is nearly bitten, but Nora kills the leecher that attacked him before it happened. Norman hen gets cleaned up because he is full of blood, and Nora yells at Jason for abandoning his post. 
When William returns, he yells both to Nora and Jason for the incident. To Jason because he left his post, and to Nora because she risked Norman's life. Nora then yells at Norman, telling him that he should have listened to her and not engage the leechers. Norman is upset becaus ehis daughter didn't care about how he feels, but Jason comes and says Nora cares about him. He says she yelled at him before too, and he knows it's because she was worried about her father. He later apologises for putting him in danger, and Norman accepts, noting that Jason is a good and noble young man. He advises though that he never abandons his post again.
