Plagued by Uncertainty
Matlack is an ex-military private security specialist hired by Section Six Productions to head up a team of similarly trained and experienced operators collectively called the 'Section Six Crisis Response Team' (S6 for short). For months after the initial outbreak he and his fellow team mates were too busy defending their employer's headquarters in Piedmont to take any notice of the evolving political situation, and he would have happily continued to 'quietly' do his job indefinitely (as long as he kept getting paid) if his employer and most of S6 hadn't either been wiped out or gone missing in late May. One fateful operation under the city led to the single most catastrophic loss of life that Matlack had ever experienced. It took less than a day for the Section Six Productions HQ to be gutted and its personnel liquidated, and by the time Matlack and his friend Alexi Laiho had come back to their senses and crossed the now unrecognisable city to get home it was too late. What guards they'd left behind were now dead, and the two of them were forced to spend several sleepless nights in shifts, guarding what was left of the HQ.
As the co-leader of S6 in the present day, Matlack tries to be as helpful and supportive as he can muster. Life is hard, and his nerves have been frayed to the point of breaking, but he puts on a friendly face for his colleagues and friends. Although he purports to know a bit about the world post-outbreak, there is still much that he doesn't understand. Can the world actually be saved, or is he just wasting lead until his number inevitably comes up?
