How the Character is Involved in the Story

Character's role in the thriller (Protagonist/antagonist etc.):

He is the main protagonist of the story and at first is a civilian that is recruited for a private Military Corporation, trained and exercised in Combat. His role in the Story is to function as a part of a team of specifically trained soldiers to combat an ever-growing Viral infection that turns those infected into decaying rabid monsters with little thought and emotion.

Scene where character first appears:

Is shown as an office worker based somewhere in Germany, where he first meets the infected persons of the Virus and where he shortly is found to be surviving the horrors of the virus and it’s monstrous creations.

Relationships with other characters:

1. Character's Name: -- Squad Member “Irish” - Carver respects Irish for his no bullshit attitude and generally active style. Over the course of various missions and off duty hours and assignments Carver’s interactivity with Irish is shown as a good drinking partner and Squad mate.

2. Character's Name: -- Squad Member “Monkey” - To Carver, Monkey shows an excellent character of leadership and courage while on duty. Off Duty he is shown as a shabby mild mannered man who Carver respects as a good friend throughout his career.

3. Character's Name: -- Squad member “Monk” - Was Carver’s partner throughout most of his time at the organisation and was considered to be his best friend. He sometimes had a good to bad relationship as Monk tended to drift from co-operative to rebellious personalities
.
How character is different at the end of the film from when the film began:

At the end of the Story, Carver has served many, many missions and has been through a colossal amount of action and glory and has seen the effect on the organisations plans. At the beginning, Carver had only so much confidence in his abilities as an office worker however with him being now a Special Forces Operative of a private military organisation his standards rose to a new level of confidence. Over time he successfully completed missions, failed missions, received medals and commendations, receiving Scars and injury’s including the loss of his left arm. The re-construction of his left arm with a cybernetic prosthetic, the destruction of several other major organisations and a seemly impossible trip to an alternate dimension. And ultimately his self sacrificing himself to take down an almost impossible foe.
