Biography[]
Pre-Left Behind[]
Before the events of Left Behind, the man worked as a pharmacist in the local drugstore at the Colorado Mountain Plaza. He had a partner known as Laura Brown, whom he took snapshots with in a photo booth. She later gave them to him at some point to keep to remember her by.[2]
At some point after the outbreak of the Cordyceps brain infection, he became infected and attacked a survivor. The survivor severely wounded him and locked him in a store, later writing a note about the incident.[3] They requested that whoever read it try to help the man, leaving the combination for the lock at the bottom. The pharmacist later died from his injuries with the key to the employees-only area of the drugstore still on him.[1]
Events of Left Behind[]
Ellie, while searching for a medical kit for Joel, found the note left regarding the stranger's conflict with the pharmacist. She later used the combination to enter the store and retrieved the pharmacist's key and photos of him with his partner.[1]
