Henry West

Major Henry West was a British Army officer and an initial survivor of the Rage Virus outbreak in England. After the emergence of the virus, Major West commanded a brigade that defended the city of Manchester from the Infected. Eventually they were overrun, and West and eight survivors under his command fled to Worsley House, which they fortified in the belief that the virus had ended civilization. In response to the fears of his men, West planned to lure surviving women to the house so they could be forced into sexual slavery to repopulate humanity. He set up a radio broadcast to deliver a message promising safety.
A month into the outbreak, West's men encountered Jim, Selena, and Hannah at the blockade and brought them back to Worsley House. West then revealed his plans for the two women and attempted to execute Jim for not being willing to follow along. Jim escaped death, and was able to release the infected Private Mailer, who overran the surviving soldiers. West attempted to kill Jim in revenge for this, but was also killed by Mailer.28 Days Later - Alex Garland - DNA Films - Release date 1 November 2002 - Retrieved 1 January 2025
