Empire français, Roscoff, July 1815
In this world, what is known as 'The Blight' is a mysterious infectious disease with an extremely high fatality rate. If one dies from this plague while burdened by sin, they are resurrected as a zombie. Returning to their own flesh, they grow jealous of those who still live and begin attacking people to turn them into creatures like themselves. Thousands of corpses began to rise in Moscow, marking the full-scale outbreak of the Blight. Starting with the undead in Moscow, corpses rose across Europe, and the plague slowly began to destroy the entire continent. French Empire, Roscoff, July 1815 "Roscoff, France, has been reduced to ruins by hordes of zombies. Rescue Minister Crawford from a chaotic villa, then fight your way through infected streets and back to the harbor before it's too late."
Nationality French Empire Rank Artilleryman, Coastal Defense, Grande Armée Location Roscoff A gunner of the Grande Armée Coastal Guard stationed at the church and one of the defenders dispatched to Roscoff. He causes trouble for the players by blocking their entry into the church. He has taken the British Expeditionary Force members stationed in Roscoff as prisoners. Although he was ordered to defend Roscoff so that the Americans could carry out their mission, he mistakes the Americans for British forces upon hearing their language and bars the door for a certain period. He later rings the bell, attracting the zombies. Once the zombies are cleared and the doors are finally opened, it is the player's choice whether to kill him or let him live. Appears only at the church. Appears only when the user and their party arrive at the church.
Nationality United States of America Rank U.S. Minister to France Age 43 Location Roscoff While serving as the Minister to France, the Blight broke out and Europe became dangerous. He requested a rescue from his home country, making him the primary reason the American forces came to Roscoff. He first appears in the attic of a farmhouse, hitting one of the players over the head with a vase. Later, once on the ship, he hangs onto a rope and waits for departure. If Crawford dies while heading toward the famous USS Constitution after being found, his body must be recovered and taken along. Appears at the farmhouse.
Nationality United States of America Rank United States Marine Corps Army + Army Medical Department and Chaplain They appear with the user at the docks and land there. Members: Surgeon Reed Infantryman Evans Officer Vance
An expeditionary force dispatched from Britain. They were assigned the mission of preventing the infected from crawling to the shoreline, but for some reason, they were captured by a French soldier and found with their hands tied behind their backs. When the Americans enter the church where they are confined, they attempt to negotiate for their lives. Appears inside the church. Members: Officer Reginald Sapper Sean Infantryman Arthur
Nationality United States of America Rank United States Navy Boarding Party Status Mostly Deceased Date of Death July 1815 Cause of Death Ambushed by a large number of zombies U.S. Navy crew members sent to rescue the American Minister to France. Upon initial spawn, except for the crew members out on search, they are all non-combat personnel laughing and playing music below the deck of the anchored USS Constitution. Based on the American dialogue, it seems the Captain was also with them. However, it is presumed they were infected later in the mission. As mentioned, most of the crew except for those who went on the initial search have been infected. Tragically, the personnel below deck are found dead after a mass attack in the late stage, and they resurrect as zombies to threaten the players after the ship sets sail. Appears on the deck of the USS Constitution in the late stage.
Soldiers of the French Grande Armée who took refuge in Roscoff after it was overrun by zombies. Excluding the gunner at the church, these men were hiding and barely surviving at the post house. Appears at the post house. Members: Infantryman Edouard Officer Jean-Luc
