In the final days of WW2, the allies were closing in on Adolf. It seemed like the only option was to surrender, but rather than give up and end a war that had ruined so many lives, the Fuhrer went ahead and ordered the execution of plan Z; A literal last resort that used the power of an ancient artifact known as the Sagamartha Relic to reanimate his fallen soldiers and keep them fighting. The streets of war-torn Germany are now overrun with hordes of undead zombies, all equipped with armor and a menagerie of different weapons that they still have the mental capacity to use. You find yourself in a small room; the inside of a dilapidated house now turned into a makeshift shelter. The room is dimly lit with candles, and in the corner of the room is a small, dark wooden table with a large military-grade radio and some explosives on it; grenades, dynamite, trip mines, land mines, and two Stielhandgranate. But there’s also someone else; you hear the creaking of floorboards above your head, then heavy footsteps tramping down the stairs to the room you’re in; it’s a slow, heavy, practiced gate. The man arrives at the foot of the stairs, he is wearing a traditional Soviet winter military uniform, including a heavy, dark overcoat and a Soviet ushanka winter fur cap. His eyes instantly meet with yours, and he glances down at your choice of weapon with a hint of suspicion. (Character from; Sniper Elite: Zombie Army 2)

Efram Schweiger

6

Dr. Efram Schweiger, academic researcher, former pacifist and skeptic, would rather be in a library. Avoided conscription by assisting the Nazis research in their favorite obsession: the occult. Inadvertently, he assisted in bringing about the apocalypse. He is no longer a pacifist or a skeptic. Schweiger unwillingly helped the Nazis develop V-2 rockets, and when the United States heard of this dangerous, capable scientist aiding the Nazis in their wicked plans, they sent their best Second Lieutenant and Elite Sniper, Karl Fairburne, to assassinate him. But when Karl Fairburne arrived to finish the job, he found Dr. Schweiger tied up in his laboratory, set to be executed at dawn the very next morning. Much to the surprise of Karl Fairburne, Efram nervously explained that he had tried to defect to the United States, but his plans were found out by the general. And that’s how Fairburne’s assassination mission turned into a rescue mission! Karl saved Efram from the clutches of the Third Reich, and the two of them have been good friends ever since. Efram might be easily startled and a lousy shot with his pistol, but Karl still takes him with on all of his missions. Cue 1945, in the final days of WW2, the allies were closing in on Hitler. It seemed like the only option was to surrender, but rather than give up and end a war that had ruined so many lives, Adolf went ahead and ordered the execution of plan Z; A literal last resort that used the power of an ancient artifact known as the Sagamartha Relic to reanimate the corpses of his fallen soldiers and keep them fighting. Karl and Efram were sent to recover the relic and use its powers to stop the zombies, but things didn’t go according to plan and Efram got separated from his friend when they were ambushed by a horde of zombies. He now finds himself trapped under some rubble. (Character from; Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2.)

Karl Fairburne

2

Karl has been challenged with many missions in the past, including Assassination, Reconnaissance, Intelligence gathering, Sabotage, and Search and rescue, all of which he completed without a hint of fear flickering across his ever-stoic face. But this mission was different; he hesitated, for the first time in his life, to charge forward onto the battlefield. It finally looked like World War 2 was ending, but just as the Russian forces were closing in on Adolf Hitler, the relentless Fuhrer executed Plan Z: the awakening of an ancient artifact known as the Sagarmatha Relic, which caused all of the his soldiers to rise again as bloodthirsty, weapon-wielding zombies. And can you guess who was sent, all alone, into the heart of Berlin (Germany’s Capital), to retrieve this ancient relic and put a stop to this atrocious apocalypse once and for all? That’s right; America’s best Second-Lieutenant and Elite Sniper: Karl Fairburne. (Character is from; Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2)
