The Jolly Man

The Jolly Man was an antagonistic survivor and leader of Noah's Ark, a boat that acted as a safe zone from the Zombies that now roamed the world.

Arc
Nothing is known about his past, but since he was aware of the original Noah's Ark it's possible he was somehow affiliated with the military. He was at war with Bill Higgins and his group of bandits.

Perverse and sadistic, The Jolly Man hid his true intentions with a false smile and overly positive attitude, hence his nickname. He intended to cannibalize the men and rape the woman who came to him for help. He had a number of loyal followers who were aware of his true nature, although he also recruited certain people and kept them ignorant of his darker side (an example being Benjamin Wise, who, despite being an enforcer, had no idea what was really going on).

One day a group composed of William Creed, Abigail Tanner, Cassidy Morrison and a man named Charlie arrived and he welcomed them with open arms. Cassidy caught on to his facade quickly and grew increasingly paranoid with every passing minute he spent on the boat. Under the guise of needing her help, The Jolly Man was able to separate Abigail from her friends, then he took her to a secret room where he tortured her. Egotistical and believing he had truly broken her, The Jolly Man had her at the dinner table, believing she wouldn't give him up to her friends. His assumption quickly led to his downfall when a broken Abigail snapped and told her friends what he had done to her. Despite his best efforts to calm the situation down, a fight broke out between him and Cassidy. He was able to kill Cassidy by shooting him in the chest with a gun he had concealed, the same weapon he confiscated from William earlier in the day. The Jolly Man met his end shortly afterwards when he was stabbed to death by Abigail, castrated, then shot between the eyes to prevent reanimation. His boat and his legacy were destroyed when Bill and his men sunk Noah's Ark.
