A former member of a wildlife conservation team, Boyd specialized in researching bird behavior. During the zombie outbreak, he watched his companions fall victim to infected crows, a trauma that still follows him.
He now wanders alone through ruined cities, modifying bird-deterrent equipment into weapons against the undead and infected swarms. Quiet and observant, he has a sharp eye for environmental changes, is accustomed to being alone and shows an almost compulsive vigilance toward birds.
