Commander Briggs was a character mention in Dead Island: Riptide. He was a member of the Australian Defence Force and the commander of the Henderson Military Base during the zombie outbreak on Palanai Island. A friend of Samuel Hardy, he was in charge of the base and defense of Henderson during it, making the decision to close the base when it was in danger of being overrun. Unfortunately, it was not enough and the base was overrun, killing all personnel including Briggs. This was unbeknownst to Hardy who, upon being shipwrecked on the island, encourages the Heroes to seek out Briggs at the base in hopes of contacting the fleet off-shore and being rescued. When he is told of Briggs demise, he is upset at the loss of his friend as well as the failed attempt to get off the island.
Notes[]
- Whilst his body is never identified, we can assume that he was killed in the command centre of the base when it was overrun, due to his status as the commander.
