Home Town: Dallas Texas
History: Richard had a basic youth, played football, got a scholarship but busted his knee cap and lost it. He joined the Army at the age of 20 and became a pilot for Cargo planes. He did that job for more than 15 years before he decided to become a recruiter and bring others like himself into the service to make something outta themselves.
Richard Caldwell retired from the military at the age of 41, just one year before the Zombie apocalypse struck. He'd gotten a job owning a gun store in northern Kansas. Leading a decent enough life. But when disaster struck he jumped into action and saved as many as he could. Regrettably losing his wife and daughter to the monsters, he himself at to take their lives when he shot them as Zombies.
As four years passed by and no one seemed to be stepping forward to save anyone, Richard finally decided to take those he had saved and move on from that little Kansas town. He lead them all over the country collecting people, trucks, weapons, food, anything they could get their hands on. Richard lead what people began to call an army for six long years.
On December 30, 2024 Richard took a group of men out to Orlando Florida to rescue some survivors they'd heard over the salvation channel on the radio, 66.6AM. He took a few newbies to show them the ropes and of course his second in command, the man that had stuck by him from the beginning, Kolt Solstra. Sadly, during the mission they were opposed by a horde of zombies, not well equipped enough to combat them they began to retreat. But they became cornered and were forced to fight their way out. One of the newbies couldn't take it and shot himself, the others fell from exhaustion and were eaten by the zombies. It came down to Richard and Kolt fighting their way out of an office building filled with zombies.
They were barely able to get out of the building alive, but laughed it up as they watched the building collapse with the zombies inside. They thought it was safe now, and so Kolt stepped away from Richard for just a second, which was one second too long. A zombie came up behind Richard and bit his neck. Kolt shot it in the head and began to cry at his old friends side during Richards last moments. d**k gave Kolt his pistol, and told him that he was the leader now, before Kolt shot his mentor in the head, so that he might die a human, instead of a monster.
