Biography: Gendry grew up on a small, isolated farm in southern New Mecixo. As a kid, he attended school until 6th grade, when he left to help his parents work on the farm. For his 10th birthday, his father bought him a Ruger Old Army revolver. He would shoot it every day in his free time, and over time he got to be a very good shot. When he was about 17 years old, his father was killed in a bar brawl. His mother was heartbroken, and weakened, when finally, she succumbed to sickness. Gendry decided that he had had enough of the farm life, and he went off to live in the big city of Albuquerque. He sold his farm and his horse, and with the money bought a run-down second-hand car.
After arriving at the city he began searching for a job, but because of his very limited education, he was having a hard time. The only job he managed to be accepted to is a firearm instructor. He worked there for more than two decades, leading a poor lonely life. But being alone for so long drives even the strongest to depression, and soon enough, Gendry turned to the liquor in the bottle. He would get drunk at the bar almost every night, trying to forget the pain.
About the time when rumors of a deadly virus spreading throughout the world, Gendry started to notice some very odd things happening to him. His dead father started appearing to him. When he would tell people about this, they would call him crazy, but he could tell it was not insanity. At first he was very frightened of his dead father speaking to him, but in time he started answering his father's calls. His father would tell him about life after death, and what is was like to be dead. What his father couldn't explain, was why he was back on earth, although only Gendry could see him. His father guessed that he was here to guide Gendry through the hard times ahead of him.
A few months later, zombies started arriving in town. Gendry took up his sniper rifle and two pistols from the gun range he worked at, and started fighting the zombies off along with the rest of the people. Gendry noticed that his accuracy improved hugely, and at times it seemed as if he could slow down time, allowing him to tear through waves of zombies with ease. His father now was always next to him, giving him tips and warning him of incoming threats, although his father couldn't seem to get too far away from Gendry.
But even with these new abilities the zombies were too many, and after a few weeks, the whole town was full of them. Gendry remembered that he had an aunt somewhere in Philidelphia, so along with a few other survivors he fled east in hopes of meeting up with her. The journey was a long one, even with an RV, and in the end all of his fellow survivors perished. Sometime shortly after his last companion died, his RV broke down. He was in the middle of nowhere, with no sign of civilization in sight. So, with no other choice, he continued east, although this time on foot. After 2 days he was on the brink of death, when suddenly he saw something in the distance - a town. His last hope of survival. With the last of his energy and his father's ghost urging him on, he walked to the town.
Two months laterGendry had already given any hope of finding his aunt, and he had a pretty good life here in Barclay. He didn't really like the mayor, but she was doing a good job protecting the town. She was especially happy when she found out of his special abilities. Although he didn't think she knew about his father yet.
