the Wizard
Island Laboratory Facility,

laser
weapon wielded by a black

the most hideous deaths Ryan and his friends ever witnessed.

the whaling ship, the Salvation. He and Ryan Cawdor made fast friends. Johnny stole
a blaster from the ships armory and had every intent on using it

attempted mutiny.

damaged gateway in a Mansion just south of what used to be
Moscow, he finally succumbs to the disease and dies while the
friends sing the Star Spangled Banner to him.
Sec Boss Kelly.
The head of the sec men for the Greenglades theme park. He wasn't
exactly the friendliest of the people, but he did try to warn
Ryan and the group that Adam Traven had something in store for Ryan's son Dean. He also
tried to get them to leave the park before Traven made his final
bid to take over. In the end, because of his loyalty to Larry
Zapp, he is thrown off a Paraglide Paradise ride to his death,
taking one of the sec men who turned coat with him. He wore a
uniform of camouflaged pants and a jacket and wore a dark green
beret on his head. He carried a government issue colt .45. He
appeared to be around thirty and had an air of casual
professionalism to him.
Baron Larry Zapp.
Even though Ryan, J.B. and he had a very unpleasant experience in
the past, Larry held no grudge against them. He allowed them to
stay, ride some of his rides and even gave Ryan a transmitter
which he later threw away in anger. Larry knew that he was losing
control of his Barony, and that he was hooked on Dreem. He simply didn't have the strength or
will to fight any longer. In the end when Ryan and the rest

Traven, pinning the man to the floor. Traven empties his Browning

around his shoulders. His eyes nearly disappeared beneath the fat
of his face, and his hands were soft, almost feminine. He wore a
dark maroon silk caftan.

he left the redoubt and was trying to find a way into Zimyanin's
mine to rescue his son Dean. Suffering slightly from Radiation

die when Ryan forced her to fight and regain the will to survive.

close to killing her several times, they worked together. She was
killed by the fourth of the Sec Hunter droids while they were
trying to escape from Zimyanin.
Ellie Morte. This
slightly built woman with light blond hair and a pale complexion.
The woman only had a few months to live because during her
travels in the Deathlands, she contracted rad cancer. She tried
to get both J.B. and Ryan to make love to her, but they both
turned her down, preferring to stay with their ladies. Eventually
she ended up having a relationship with Doc Tanner. She was

of the animals and acted as a prop master. The young man saved
Ryan twice, by being in the right place at the right time, and

his own life by hanging in the Lauren's barn. He is buried along
side Christina and baby Jenny.
Emma Tyler. This
petite young woman was one of the most powerful Doomies ever
encountered in all the Deathlands. She met up with Ryan and the
rest in one of the numerous pest holes that sprung up around the
Washington hole. They prevented a group of rowdy's from killing
her. Later they all find themselves guests of Baron Sean Sharpe.

it's supposed to be.

death is avenged by the others when they open up on the Ronin,
wiping them out to the last man.

becoming his friend as Paddy is horribly lonely. They travel
together towards Twin Forks and stop in a boarding house for a
meal. While Ryan is resting, Paddy is killed by a trio of

with was wiped out by Ryan's people near the ville of Hazard. He
was only a mascot, a play thing for the gang members and readily
joined Ryan's group. He and Doc Tanner became fast friends due to
being so well read. It appeared that the little man was about to
betray the group when he took Doc to the local book keeper, but
that was not the case. He escaped with them after Handsome Wyatt
attacked the ville to get Ryan and JB. In the arctic the little
man met his fate. Ryan wouldn't allow Doc to carry him, as it
would slow the old man down and he could have very well lost his
life due to it. They had to race to the gateway chamber while a
torrent of death cold water chased them. They all managed to get
into the gateway except for poor Albert. The wave of water caught
him and he drowned.

been gestating inside him.

pursuing him. She lived all alone deep in the mountains with no

the stomach. Doc Tanner killed the man right afterwards but was
unable to do anything to help her.
