Steven Gray

"*It's hard to say I can't imagine where Ross would have found an army so fast, besides this is too disorganized to be part of Ross' plan. Whoever is attacking us is at the gate I don't know how much longer Red's army will last, we need to go help them. "..." Look, I'm not asking you three to come with me if you come you're almost certainly going to die but, we are the only help they have; you stay here Red's army will die, they risk their lives for us now it's our chance to do the same.*"
—Gray to Bobby, AK, Jin, and Uni when talking about risking their lives to help Red's army defend the CDC from the Strangers[src]

**Major Steven Gray**, better known as **Major Gray**, or just **Gray** was a main character in SGCBarbierian's Crafting Dead Roleplay. Gray was a soldier and Major of the military, stationed at Greenfield. He stumbled upon the groups base shortly after they met Jess, and supplied the group with everything they needed, before leaving with them on AK's Ship. Major Gray later reappears in season eight, after saving the group from a rooftop infested with walkers and being revealed to be the leader of the CDC.

## Overview

Gray was a soldier and Major for the military, and was stationed at Greenfield. He briefly joined Nick's group when he was out searching for survivors. After hearing the news of the incoming Napalm strike, he fled the city with Nick's group on AK's ship. While on the ship, Gray takes one of the life boats, and leaves the group in pursuit of his platoon. Gray is tough and smart. He also seemed to be polite, as he placed Ghetto's bed back where it belonged when he woke up. Additionally, he was humane and rescued Nick's Group despite the risk. He was also shown to be strong when his men were under threat and managed to rebuild the CDC defenses in three days. He was however pragmatic and logical, as he expressed hesitancy to rescue Sabre's Wife in return for potential death and decided not to risk the CDC when Nick went missing on a supply run.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Nothing is known about Gray before the apocalypse, other than that he was a Major in the military.

## Post-Apocalypse

Major Gray was deployed to find any survivors and was to likely put them onto a convoy whose destination was a Safe Zone.

## Trivia

* Gray's actor, Graysha, actually plays 3 different roles in The Crafting Dead series: Major Gray, Bobby, and Professor X.

* Gray is the only character to return to the series after being absent for fours seasons in a row.
* Gay's skin had multiple changes.
	+ During Seasons 3 and 4, he had Black Skin to depict him as African-American, but since his return, he has had White Skin which now depicts him as Caucasian.

* While its not explained if Major Grey is National Guard, Army Reserve or in active duty in the series, while talking about his son on the Apr. 2, 2016 livestream, Major Grey comments that he did not enjoy the game his son played, likely military FPS games, which will imply he was active duty at one point. This also implies the disease was extremely bad.
* Major Gray has appeared in atleast two series so far, The Crafting Dead and New World Order.
