Logan Carter

**Logan Carter**, the **Jack of All Trades**, is one of the four playable heroes in *Dead Island* and one of the five heroes in *Dead Island: Riptide.* He is a former American football star and the jack of all trades of the heroes.

## Background

Logan was born in 1978 and grew up in Texas. He attended Dallas High School, where he was a 3 sport athlete, earning a football scholarship to college. He was an NFL first draft pick, becoming a quarterback and football star who led a spoiled life and became successful in every possible way. He was voted sexiest Texan in 2004, surpassing Dennis Quaid and Matthew McConaughey and spent his money on the fastest cars he could find. 4 years into his football career, his ego and alcohol addiction finally put an end to his bright future after taking part in a reckless street race with tragic consequences. Logan not only killed a young woman — his unfortunate passenger; he also fractured his knee and sent himself to prison, putting an end to his sports career. After leaving prison, he was forced to play semi-pro in Canada. His fall from stardom inevitably followed and he plunged swiftly into a life of bitterness and despair. In an attempt to get away from the demons hunting him, he gladly takes the chance to experience the beauty and wonder of Banoi Island. His drinking habit makes alcohol better used with Logan than the other heroes.

## Character Selection Info

*"Oh, man. I used to be on top of the world, brother. All-pro quarterback, four years running. Voted the Sexiest Texan back in 2004. Beat out Dennis Quaid and Matthew McConaughey for Christ's sake. So I drank a few beers now and then. Popped the occasional pill. That's nothing compared to what the team quacks would shoot me up with just so I could play. Sometimes I just needed to numb the pain. You know what I'm saying? My biggest vice was speed. Not meth, buddy, adrenaline. I blew every penny I had on the fastest cars I could find. Just so you know… I'm a damn good driver. If that asshole I was street racing hadn't side-swiped me, I never would have crashed. And that poor girl would still be alive. That's right. That's right, it's his goddamn fault I shattered my leg in six goddamn places. So I had a few drinks in me. So what the fuck? I drive drunk better than I do sober anyway. Of course, I couldn't play worth shit after that. After I got outta jail, they canned my ass. Said I violated the morals clause on my goddamn contract. Ended up playing semi-pro in fucking Canada. But I'm still a name. Oh yeah, I'm still a celebrity. That's why they wanted me to promote their blood drive here. That's why they fucking flew me first class halfway around the goddamn world. Because my name still means something. Logan Carter is no goddamn douchebag."*
