Jason Nelson

Jason Nelson is a main character and survivor of the outbreak in When the Dead Rise. He is part of the original cruise survivors aboard Captain Moreno's free vacation getaway, which was actually a scam in an attempt to save people from the outbreak unfolding around the world.

Personality
Jason is a durable, skeptical and highly scornful man, who's shown to easily lose patience. Previously being a national guard, Jason's extremely skilled with firearm weapons and is quick to adapt to any conflict. This could also be due to the fact that he was the first in the group to have the most knowledge about the outbreak and the virus. He's also described to be quite the leader-type, having the will to take over Lincolns' position, whenever he goes MIA.

This is a list of victims Jason has killed:

 * Captain Moreno (Indirectly Caused)
 * Chloe (Zombified)
 * Mary (Zombified)
 * A few Zombies
