When Frank is going to stop the Space Rider, he believes that Frank is going to spoil the children’s fun, who are already on the ride (they are in fact two blood-covered dolls), and that if he stops the ride, the zombies will come after him again.

Name: Steven Chapman
Age: 37
Bio: Manager of Seon’s Food and Stuff.

Achievements: Self defence, peace keeper, punisher, psycho photo, psycho collector
Cliff Hudson
Name: Cliff Hudson
Age: 58
Bio: Cliff is a Vietnam war veteran who was with his family when the zombie outbreak happened. When his granddaughter was eaten alive by zombies, he went into a war flashback. He hangs beheaded zombies in Crislip’s Home Saloon, and locks humans into an unused store space for interrogation and torture. The reason for this is that Cliff believes most survivors to be Viet Cong guerrilla fighters, including Frank. Whilst fighting Cliff he will make use of a series of trapdoors which run under the store, allowing him to easily sneak around and escape from Frank when he takes damage. It should be noted that Otis' summarization of Cliff as a "big guy" is an understatement - he stands well over a foot taller than Frank, and has maintained a muscular physique that allows him to easily manhandle Frank and to climb on top of high shelving racks without difficulty.

When Frank appears, Thomas is quite reluctant to fire at him, as he is still human. But Jack exclaims that having a firearm is their right as Americans, and Roger angrily orders Thomas to open fire.

Time of call from Otis: 20th/3pm

Theme music: Music is done by Hideki Okugawa and Marika Suzuki.
Voice actor: Kim Mai Guest
Survivors being held: None
Demise: By the final hours of the game, if Frank does not stop to see Isabela at 10am on the last day, when the cutscene showing Brock and his special forces leave the mall. Isabela stays at Carlito’s hideout. But if you do see her at 10am, she will inform you to “save yourself”. When Frank sees the helicopter crash while waiting at the heliport, he falls to his knees in despair as zombies approach him. Isabela appears and shoots down zombies surrounding Frank as he collapses. She carries Frank back to the hideout and informs him that he collapsed because he is infected. While Isabela was working at Dr. Barnaby’s plant at Santa Cabeza, she discovered a suppressant(not a cure) for the zombie virus. It will keep him from becoming a zombie, but only for an unknown length of time. However, she needs supplies from around the mall. After Frank returns to Isabella with the supplies, they realize that Willamette was just the beginning of Carlito's vengeance-he has infected fifty orphans and given them the suppressant before sending them to orphanages throughout the US-and like Frank, they could turn at any time. They agree that getting the truth to the world is no longer a matter of justice, but of survival for the entire human race. At Isabela's request, Frank searches the mall once more, this time for an electrical generator. During the search, Frank notices that the helicopter crash has smashed a hole in the clock tower, opening up a zombie-infested tunnel. After returning to Isabella with this information, she makes a "zombie repellant" pheremone from the leftover treatment supplies. She hopes it will allow them to leave the Willamette Mall through this tunnel. The zombie infested tunnel leads to sewage waterway, and then to an Army encampment, where they steal a Humvee. As they race away, Brock intercepts them in an automated tank. After destroying the tank's sensors, Brock switches to manual control, topples the jeep by ramming it, and is preparing to kill them both when the zombies from the tunnel approach, surrounding both vehicles. Although unarmed, Frank takes this opportunity to attack Brock. After Brock is thrown into the zombie horde to his death, Isabela is last seen fighting off zombies from the top of the jeep. It is unknown whether or not if she was killed. Some assume that she escaped Willamette with Frank to expose the story. Others assume that she died, and with her, any chance for Frank to be permanently cured.

Frank is spotted taking pictures of the event, and Sean orders his followers to slay the "heretic". He leaves, and Frank now has a chance to save Jennifer. Due to Frank's interference the "Raincoat cult" members now appear all around the mall. Upon receiving Otis' call about a strange group, Frank enters Colby’s Movieland and heads to Cinema 4, where Sean is seen praying. He begins preaching his faith, stating that those who follow him will ultimately be saved from the "end of the world", and that he will slay all "non-beleivers" who stand in his path.

Kent Swanson
Name: Kent Swanson
Bio: Kent is like Frank, a photographer. Kent believes that he is the best photographer out there. The first time Frank meets him, Kent challenges Frank to a photograph taking contest(by first showing Frank his most moving picture, entrance plaza survivor Verlene Willis comforting and hugging fellow survivor Dana Simms; his "sexiest" shot, one of Cheryl Jones; and his most violent shot, quite literally a "shot" of a Zombie shot in the head). Frank wins, and Kent tells him to meet him with an Erotic picture above 700pp. Frank meets with Kent on the second day. Kent, in disbelief and jealousy, discredits Frank's triumph and tells Frank to meet him on the final day. Frank meets Kent, and one of the two following scenarios ensues. Either:
- Frank arrives on time at 12:00 and he meets Kent who has captured Tad. By this point, Kent plotted that the only way to outdo Frank's skills was to capture the only image Frank won’t, a human turning into a zombie. Kent throws a larva at Tad, which will change him into a zombie, but fortunately for Tad, Frank intervenes, crushing the larva underfoot. Kent is once again in disbelief at Frank's actions, unable to understand why he would ruin such a perfect shot. As a result, he sees this as an act of betrayal, and turns his gun on Frank.
- Frank arrives after noon has passed and Kent proudly displays his photos of Tad as he metamorphoses into a zombie. As Frank looks at the pictures Kent, lifts his gun to Frank's head. Screen fades. Frank finds himself, stripped of his clothes and weapons, tied by chain to the light rig over the water piece in Paradise Plaza.

Bio: Larry is a burly butcher who prides himself in his work. In a fit of madness resulting from the Wilmamette Incident he has gone to hunt his people for processing. He will only carve fresh meat (humans) and not spoiled meat (zombies) as he believes that his reputation as a butcher is on the line. The first appearance of Larry is seen on a monitor, dragging an injured Carlito to the meat processing room. Upon Frank’s arrival, Frank first tries to trick Larry into handing over Carlito by saying that Frank wants "that meat" (pointing to Carlito).

Brock Mason
Name: Brock Mason
Age: Unknown
Bio: Though thoroughly amoral, Brock is not a psychopath per se, as he is fully in command of his faculties-his inhumane acts are merely orders he follows. However, he is the game's final boss. He is the leader of the Special Forces Unit that was sent into the mall for the “cleanup” operation. He also led the previous cleanup operation at Santa Cabeza, and knows a lot about the nature of the zombie outbreak. He first appears at midnight on the last day, leading his unit to start the operation. He leaves after the majority of the zombies have been eliminated, his mission complete. When Isabela and Frank steal a military jeep to escape, they are intercepted by Brock, who is piloting an automated tank. After the duo manages to cripple the tank, Brock transfers from automated to manual controls and rams the jeep, flipping it over. Frank wakes up to see Brock on the tank, aiming its cannon at him. After a conversation between the two in which he nihilistically defends his actions, Brock notices a horde of zombies approaching them. When he re-aims the tank's cannon, Frank sees his opportunity and jumps aboard. Brock loses his cigar to Frank's initial attack, and, both men, unarmed, begin the game's final battle.
