Delroy Shakir

Delroy Shakir is a minor character, an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in Route to Paradise. He is a lieutenant of The Rastas who was sent to Willamette, Colorado some weeks after the outbreak in order to assist the gang's leader, Damerae Badrick. Upon arriving in Willamette, Badrick orders Delroy to lead the Rastas into battle at the stadium, while he sneaks into the stadium. During the battle, Delroy fights with William Reynes, but prevents William from simply shooting him dead by wearing a bomb vest that detonates when his heart stops. William thinks outside the box, and slashes Delroy across the throat, before kicking him out of a window mere seconds before he dies and the vest explodes.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Delroy was a member of The Rastas for an unknown period of time prior to the apocalypse. He was in New York City when the outbreak struck, presumably working under the Rasta second-in-command, Manji Fayard.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

A few weeks after the outbreak, Manji is ordered by Rasta leader Damerae Badrick to send a shipment of Rastas to him in Willamette, Colorado. Delroy is one of them selected to go.

### **Season 4**

#### "**Consequence**"

At the Willamette Docks, Delroy stands with Badrick, while the rest of the Rastas are unloading the ship; they've only just arrived. Badrick is impressed to see that they made it here so quickly, and Delroy says that he'd do anything for his cause. But Delroy then points out Badrick's half-burnt face, disappointed in himself for not getting here soon enough to save him from that. Badrick states that the people who did that to him are the ones they're going to punish. He then looks towards the rest of the Rastas, and makes a speech, telling them what he had just told Delroy. The men cheer, while Delroy says, "An eye for an eye."

Soon after, Delroy is showing Badrick around the ship; showing him all of the supplies they brought with them, which Badrick is impressed by. But suddenly they come under attack -- and Delroy immediately launches into action, drawing a pistol and a machete, and racing for cover. Delroy helps to fight off the attackers, and manages to take down one of them -- Mike Simpson. As Mike falls to the his knees, bleeding out, Delroy approaches, machete in hand. He grabs the man by his shoulder, and plunges the blade into Mike's chest, killing him. When that's taken care of, and the rest of the attackers flee, Badrick comes walking out, where he orders Delroy to follow the attackers - discreetly.

Delroy does as he's told, following them back to Willamette High School. While he himself is not seen, it can be assumed Delroy was part of the attack, where they'd manage to kill two more of the men who attacked them.

#### "**All the King's Men**"

Back at the docks, Delroy gives the news to Badrick, who is happy to hear it. Badrick breaks into a coughing fit - before regaining his posture and declaring that they'll march onwards towards their next target - the stadium.

At the stadium, Delroy is given full control by Badrick. He ambushes many people outside of the stadium, before bringing the entire Rasta army to the front entrance - where he simply waits, occasionally checking a watch, presumably because Badrick told him to wait a certain amount of time before attacking. Eventually, Delroy decides that the time to attack is now. He looks back at his Rastas, and tells them that they've waited long enough. With a raise of his fist, the Rastas begin their attack, storming the front entrance, Delroy among them.

On the pitch, Delroy joins the attack, directing men to try and flank the enemy. He then starts shooting at the enemies, managing to hit Rebecca Dawson, seriously wounding her. Afterwards, Delroy takes a group of men with snipers, and leads them into the stadium concourse, then up some stairs into the commentators booth - where they find Nathaniel Shepard's corpse. Delroy kicks the chair with Nathaniel out of the way, his corpse falling against the floor. He then directs his Rastas to set up along the windows - which have a perfect view of the entire pitch.

When William Reynes comes up, he manages to kill all of the snipers - which Delroy watches from the side, not bothering to intervene. When William is done slaughtering them, Delroy finally steps out, slow clapping, expressing how impressed he is with him. William wordlessly aims a gun at Delroy - but Delroy stops him by sliding open his suit jacket, revealing a bomb vest. "It is linked to my heart rate," he says, "so if I die -- you die." Grinning, Delroy watches as William slowly lowers his pistol, spits in his hand and rubs them together, and says that he prefers it this way anyway. Delroy strikes first, landing a kick. But when he tries again, William catches his leg, sending him to the floor. He begins to beat on Delroy until he throws William off, swinging his fists at him. William stumbles back - which prompts Delroy to go in for the final blow. But William suddenly draws a knife as Delroy is sprinting at him. He plants the knife into Delroy's throat as he's running at him. Before Delroy can die, William spartan-kicks him backwards out of the window, where, while in mid-air, the bomb vest explodes, sending bits of Delroy raining down onto the seats and pitch.
