"I'll walk for a bit....maybe go up on deck and get some air and clear my head"

Instrumental in the Zealot's plan for the insurrection of the USS John F Kennedy CVN-79.

Death
Brian Marlin and his team were out partying and headed home from the bar when they were attacked by Zulus. Two were dead he got a little scratch he barely noticed. Brian woke up with a headache, but brushed it off as a hangover, went to walk it off and was never heard from again. His team went ashore without him the following day, and the whole team was lost, so he was never reported missing.

Zulu-fied
Aaron Carson had been known as "the Preacher" for almost a year when he stumbled upon Brian. Wanting to avoid quarantine, he hid Brian instead, eventually using him as a pivotal role in his attempt to take over the JFK. Carson releases Brian, unbeknown to Carson, Brian had evolved into a Foxtrot Nightmare, and turned on him, biting both of his henchmen and and Carson himself, effectively creating the largest breakout the JFK had seen to date.
