History: Lazarus, once a successful lawyer suffered a mental breakdown over 40 years ago after the murder of his wife and infant daughter. His mental anguish was sustained as a result of the murder or murderers never being found and since his family's deaths he has slowly drank away his money. Prior to the epidemic Lazarus lived in homeless shelters, under bridges and abandoned buildings in Crescent city north of Redwood. When the populace began to turn Lazarus was fortunate to be fairly isolated to those infected being a recluse and regretted by mainstream society which gave him the chance to flee to less densely populated areas to the south. He met with the surviving group in Redwood but was reluctant stay with the group due feeling useful to them but was convinced to stay by one of the more charitable members of the group. The rest have little time for him and although he is liked he is seen often a dead weight by the more coldly logical members of the group. He is seen as wise, charismatic and intelligent despite his previous vocation by those who like him in the group. (It is up to the other players which category they fall into concerning Lazarus)
Skills: Having lived on the streets for forty years he has picked up advanced scavenging and survival skills.
I submit this character for approval, I am not trolling or anything I just felt the roleplay may benefit from some character variety =)
