The Tattooed Zombie

[StepLaugh]

What are your theories about him, I feel like he might be the source of the infection, but I don't have much to back that up on.

But I feel like he is going to play a big part, cause you can tell that they were asking skittles every question in the book to ask, KC was obviously planting some hints there to get us thinking.

I don't believe that he is the source. He may have been one of the early infected after escaping from the institution. But, yes, he most likely will be a major player in the Chapters to come (I'm guessing around 20-22).

Yeah in the very beginning, they talked about news footage of a insane man with many tattoos being put away in an institution. Generally people who are insane or have mental problems are very intelligent, just not in the right ways. And based on what was said throughout the series, smarter in life, smarter in death. So he could easily be of super high levels of intelligence, making him much more dangerous then even the biggest of zombies.

I'm just curious if he's the one calling back the zombies to the arena or is there something much larger out there that has not been mentioned.

[StepLaugh]

Yeah I do think he might have been one of the first. Do you think since you guys ar saying that he was in an institute, do you think maybe they were doing experiments in that institute (It's been done before) and something went wrong?

It already seems that there were spontaneous breakouts at the same time. Especially if Hawaii was overrun and Kalani had time to get to LA to see it get really bad.

I'm not too sure about all of your theories. I mean, the tattooed zombie said he was Paul... and Paul was such a nice guy.

That's what I was also considering.

Ok, so first, what do we know.

• His name is Bill Roberts, AKA Ink. Was being transfered to a mental health facility when the shit hit the fan.
• He was the one who planned and made the ambush that saul/liz/burt found.
• We know he took out the other tower (Kalani's pop the flood gates theory, and skittles story from chap 17.)
• He is the one running the show at the hockey arena.
• He's one fast mutha. The way he ran from the tower, and how quick he had to have gotten from the arena (post samantha) to the tower (pre paul).
• He's a bad ass, and can still talk (somewhat) and can understand english (he popped up as soon as Burt said he was outta ammo).
• And he's got a keen eye for fashion (Pin stripes is tha shiz.)

And onto the non-facts.

I'm not so sure about him being the source of the infection. He was in custody. How the heck would he pull it off?

Why is he so damn special? Paranoid Skitzo. I'm assuming his brain works differently, and thus he is able to control his magical zombie powers and do what he wants to do. Which, isn't that far off from the zombie agenda anyways.

The hockey arena. I believe it is just a local manifestation of the zombie issue, and it most likely shows itself somewhat differently else where. He has the nightly or weekly, or whatever-lee muder ceremony to feed that need he had when he was a person (to kill). Screw taking a fat guy who's lookin pretty dead. He wants the spunky girl who's gonna flail and all that fun sick crap he loves so much.

He was the one who planned and made the ambush that saul/liz/burt found.

Do we actually know that? They've suggested that one may have been driving the car due to the bullet holes but, it was never said that it was him.

Oh, and he can take a bullet like the best of them.

[StepLaugh]

What just gets me is that, what makes him soooo special?

If I'm correct he is about average height and weight.
