Benjamin “Benji” Yoon was born December 1st, 1994, to his parents that were immigrants from South Korea in Denver, Colorado. When the Cordyceps brain infection hit, they were safely placed in an operational quarantine zone while his two older brothers had to board themselves up in their college dorms at the University of Eastern Colorado. As the years progressed, Benji’s father who worked for the military died in a helicopter crash during a rescue mission in the mountains. His mother, who had taken an active part of the local uprisings due to the lack of resources and food, had joined the Fireflies to try and find a vaccine.
In the QZ, during his teenage years, Benji had banded together with a group that called themselves “Volun” which was the word volunteer just shortened. They’d volunteer willingly to smuggle items back and forth for the less fortunate like modern day Robin Hoods. On a late night run, they were attacked by a horde of infected and two of the bunch were bitten without telling anyone. The next morning, the QZ was no more, being overrun by Runners.
Benji escaped with his group that was left, the sum of them finding an old town near Whitefish Lake and trying to make due with living. Their people grew which meant there was more mouths to feed which meant to find a new means to survive. When the leader of Volun suggested that they take in traitors and passer-byers as a source of supplies, Benji had gathered up food and weapons and left in a hurry.
On his own, Benji meets Billie Jean Miller and her pet dog, the two of them forming a partnership as they head East toward Pennsylvania. On the way they meet more and more survivors, forming their own group called Scavengers that loot old buildings and salvage anything that they can get their hands on. They quickly become a family and are willing to do whatever it takes to save one another.
