Puck

Character

M.O.S. is 31 Bravo
First Appeared:Sam Puck's first appearance is in Chapter 26 "Who Overcomes" part 1
Status: Alive

Background

In the earlier days at Fort Irwin/Boulder, Puck fell in love with Anita and struggled with a conflict of duty, seriously considering going AWOL and questioning why they should ever return to the Colony -- ultimately, long after Carl wanted to leave, Puck was the one who convinced everyone to go back.
Puck was stationed in Ft Irwin when the outbreak occurred. He had been in active duty for a year and a half. He got his "blood stripes'" field promotion on a recon mission when the person above him "Chomp" was killed. Puck wasn't on the mission but he got his spot.

Personality

As a MP Puck was very suspicious of the tower survivors and he was threatening to kill Reily if she was turning. Michael tried to intimidate him but Puck would not deviate from his orders.
Puck is hungry for combat action and after being assigned to train under Michael he becomes very loyal to him.
Puck was convinced that Riley is a liability that could screw things up in combat. Riley saved his life by shooting a zombie going after him when he fell out of the back of a hummer. It is unclear what his opinion of Riley is now.
Puck loves baseball cards
Puck uses fun phrases like "Dumb Broad & Gloomy Gus"
One of the "Four Musketeers" of Fort Irwin, alongside Muldoon, Robbins, and Carl -- their constant bickering and insults are a primary form of camaraderie.
Distinguished by a sharp New York accent and a dry, cynical wit that serves as a defense mechanism against the horrors of the outbreak.

Notable In The Series

• Seventeen years after the outbreak, Puck (now a General) leads Carl, Muldoon, and Robbins on a treasure hunt in We're Alive: Goldrush for a stash of gold left behind during the early days of the infection.
  
• Serves as the moral and practical backbone of the Goldrush expedition, prioritizing the group's safety even while skeptical of the gold's worth.
  
• In the present day, recounts the events of Goldrush to Robbins' son Alex, becoming a mentor figure to him.
  
• As a General in the Descendants era, often retreats into his office to listen to classical music as a way to process the weight of his decisions -- a habit that reflects the heavy burden leadership has traded for his youthful sarcasm.
  
• Frequently clashes with the rigid military structure he himself helped build, in an effort to protect Alex from the same cycle of violence he endured.
