== Background ==
== Biography ==
== Personality ==
Whitaker has been described as a ruthless, feared, and sadistic man. Power-hungry and ambitious, Whitaker would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and his boss' goals. He had a totalitarian philosophy and was fiercely loyal and patriotic to the core. Due to his lack of mercy and his philosophy, he has no value for life, having tortured and murdered hundreds of people, including killing his soldiers if they would betray or slow him down.
In his view, caring for human life is a shameful weakness and ruthlessly mowing down people or taking supplies under direct orders is strength. He does not care to kill anyone who crosses his path, and would kill or infect even innocent and injured people who had nothing to do with him; he mindlessly killed an injured resistance fighter after trying to escape and slaughter an entire small town of innocent civilians just because they were in his way and to wipe out survivor communities under direct orders.
Whitaker has no respect or care for his associates and soldiers, seeing them just as another tool that would help him with his search for the N-14 serum, as seen as he went so far as to murder and devour his entire tank crew that disagreed with his orders as they had received conflicting orders from General Bender. Because of his cruelty and charisma, Whitaker is both feared and respected by his soldiers, who are extremely loyal to him and would give their lives to help him.
Despite his brutish and violent attitude and appearance, Whitaker is a genius-level intelligent and cunning person, demonstrating wide knowledge on how the virus functioned, seeing through the Super-Infected's make-shift suits and knowing their goal to protect the serum, and understanding that the serum could kill him if he isn't careful. He is shown to be somewhat affable and respectful, having respect for Jay for his attempts to stop him and even choosing to fight him on even terms.
As a Super-Infected, Whitaker became more determined and very aggressive, having used all means necessary to kill Jay by fully using his strength and durability to overpower Jay, but his new arrogance and aggression resulted in his downfall as Jay quickly used his wit to chop half of his head off, dying as a violent, arrogant mass murderer that tried to become immortal by seeking a concentrated serum.
== Appearance ==
Garry is an American man, standing at 6'3. He has dark blue eyes, a burly muscular build, and black hair styled in a crew cut. Most of his facial features have been burnt off during WW3, as seen on the right side of his body.
Garry wears a dark black and grey digital camouflage paramilitary-style uniform that resembles the uniforms worn by his soldiers. His sleeves are folded and he wears a large, light kevlar armor vest pockets, shotgun ammunition, and two weapon holsters; one on the upper left part of his vest for his knife, and one on the lower left part, for his sidearm. There is also a radio on the upper right part of the vest. He keeps a sawed-off pump-action shotgun on his back and has black military pants along with black boots. He also wears fingerless gloves.
Garry's most notable feature in his appearance is a large scar that passes over the right side of his body, primarily on his right arm and the side of his face. The scars were caused by the Russians' attempted assassination attempt with white phosphorus (informally known as Willy Pete). After drinking the pure, concentrated N-14, Garry's scars healed instantly and it appears that Garry regrew his hair and facial hair and his height went up to 7'1, suggesting that it was producing testosterone.
