Shepard Hayes (The Disease)

Overview
Shepard Hayes is a character that appears in The Disease. He is a retired soldier who is living out the rest of his life, as quietly and peacefully as he can, in Lorham City. He prefers to keep to himself inside of his home instead of being social with the rest of the community and has no living family. He is a very strict, by the book, type man and despite having left the military ten years ago he still holds some of his morals and standards from the old days, stepping in from time to time to stop some troublesome teenagers as well as continuing to keep his military routine. Other than that he is a generally neutral man who is not exactly friendly but also not an asshole, just a lone wolf type of person. He is also the type of person that will admit that things are the way they are, no matter how tragic or bad the situation is, but will also still do his best to be the hero, to keep to his promise that he made his dead wife, in order to save as many people as he possibly can. Unlike most of humanity, Shepard can tell that things are about to change and that the growing virus is more lethal than scientists believe which is going to cause him, when the time comes, to be torn between self preservation and doing his duty.

Trivia
If the characters of The Disease were separated into Main, Recurring and Minor roles, it is confirmed that Shepard would be one of the main characters.

Originally the author was not going to cast Ruben Blades as Shepard due to the character being similiar to that of Daniel Salazar from Fear The Walking Dead, who shares the same actor, but it was eventually decided that the actor fits the role too perfectly and that it would be a waste to cast a different actor.
