Jake Fildel

"Fef." -Jake, HZA 2p2
==Description==
Jake Fildel is a human security guard that appears in Happy Zombie Apocalypse Chapter 2, working at Specula during its containment breach. Jake, unlike many characters before him, successfully retains his humanity during the incident, escaping through unknown means. He would later be seen again in a specimen relocation convoy, where his life is saved by Colin, who sacrifices his. Jake becomes the first person to be in possession of Colin's helmet, and hangs on to it until another containment breach in a second Specula facility in Germany, where it is left until 2038, when brothers Jerry and Harry Karlstat uncover it, finding him at his home in Munich to question him about it.
Jake dies of old age at a currently ungiven time.
==Appearance==
Jake is a fit man, his head crew cut for his duties as seen in 2021. He wears his corporation mandated security uniform, complete with a fancy cap. After the breach at Specula, however, it is unknown what his appearance is for a while, until he reappears in 2038 as an aging man. He has grown a stubble goatee around his parched lips, and wrinkles have appeared on his face. He then wears some casual civilian clothes, complete with an old Union kipet from the American Civil War.
==Background==
===Employment in Specula===
It is unknown when Jake became employed by the Specula corporation, only that he happened to be there when the containment breach happened. Tagging with Terrance, he makes his way through the many levels of the facility, and nearly makes it to escape, when he is struck by an explosion from an unstable pipe. Terrance leaves him to find help, but that's the last time he's seen.
Somehow, he survives the incident, and goes to live the tale.
=== Post-Incident ===
Jake continued to work for Specula even after the incident, nearly having his life taken by him in a specimen relocation convoy, not without seeing Colin DeMaro take his own life to prevent further death. Jake, now the owner of Colin's old helmet, moved to Germany with the relocation of Specula, and continued to work for them until their German location burnt down, collapsing the corporation, causing him to lose his job.
He lived the rest of his life out in Munich until he passed away of old age, but not before directing Jerry and Harry Karlstat in the right direction on the adventure to locate Colin's resting place.
==Notes==
*Jake Fildel's original last name was Miller, but was seemingly forgotten over time, and replaced only by Harry's wrongful telling of last names.
==Appearances==
===Happy Zombie Apocalypse / Torn Earth===
Jake appears in HZA 2p2, adventuring with Terrance through the facility before being maimed. He survives the incident by means unknown, and is able to live out the rest of his life in peace. He reappears in HZA 3, which is deemed a vital part of the main Torn Earth storyline, where he is questioned by Jerry and Harry about a topic that could easily be assumed to be about Colin.
