Benjamin Wise

Benjamin "Benji" Wise was a survivor in a post-apocalyptic America, one that is roamed by Zombies.

Arc
Benji was a semi-professional baseball player on his way to the big leagues before the virus broke out.

After the outbreak, Benji travelled from settlement to settlement, ultimately coming across the reformed Noah's Ark led by a captain referred to as The Jolly Man. He found work aboard the boat as an enforcer, although he was unaware of the cannibalistic and rapist tendencies of his boss. When Noah's Ark was attacked by bandit Bill Higgins and his men, Benji decided to abandon ship, coming across survivors and victims of The Jolly Man, William Creed and Abigail Tanner on his way out. Feeling somehow responsible for what had happened to them, Benji assisted in their escape. After being briefly captured by Bill, Benji was able to kill the bandit leader and escape with his newfound friends before Bill's followers could get their revenge. A temporarily crazed Willam referred to Benji as "Michael" from then on, believing Benji to be his deceased friend Michael Dean. Feeling sorry for his new friend's deteriorating mental state, Benji never corrected him.

Less than a day later, Benji and his friends came across two survivors Jordan Welch and Bret Jones who were looking for people to assist in their building of a safe zone. After deducing that the two were genuinely nice people, the newly formed group made their way to a nearby school. Benji died shortly afterwards presumably of lung cancer since Benji was a habitual cigarette smoker. Benji was mourned by his friends and a tribute was made in his honour.
