Biography
Jared was a white male in his apparent late twenties or early thirties, who had long blonde hair. He was a survivor of the zombie apocalypse living in the U.S. state of Virginia. He became a member of a militant survivalist group called the Saviors, who orchestrated a violent protection racket with surrounding communities.

Jared worked under the leadership of a man named Gavin, who was tasked with picking up their regularly scheduled tribute from a community called The Kingdom. Jared had an intense disliking for one of Ezekiel's soldiers, Richard. On two occasions, the two came to blows with one another, but Jared always maintained the upper hand, as the Saviors had strength in both armament and numbers. Although Richard was always chomping at the bit to retaliate, Ezekiel always ordered him to stand down. On one encounter, Jared made Richard surrender his sidearm to him.
