Chainsaw Maniac
The kinds of madness and depravity that emerge during the events of an
Outbreak take many forms. Among the most dangerous are those that
have indiscriminate, murderous rage. These are the Maniacs. Without
the shackles of society, these people descend into the depths of madness
that were previously banished by incarceration.

The Chainsaw Maniac is a particularly depraved individual. It is not

known what truly drives such men to such homicidal violence, but the
result is truly terrifying. A sputtering, rattling, rusted and gore-choked
mechanisms roars to life, ready to rend a victim into bloody pieces. Special

The Butcher
Of all the depraved people one can come across, the
cannibal is among the most horrifying. They see all
people as not only competitors for dwindling resources,
but as potential food. Some become so comfortable with
this arrangement that they no longer consider people
competition for supplies and food. Rather, they are seen
as cattle exclusively, and themselves as apex predators.
The Butcher has lost touch with the human experience
and now has become an animal, hunting and slaughtering
those he comes across in order to be a part of one of his
culinary nightmares.
