Frankie Childe

“We have four Arenas, full of starving infected who would tear us apart like rabid dogs if given half a chance. Each arena is set up to offer soldiers the ultimate test. The task is to kill all the infected before they can kill you. There’s only one rule. Survival.”
— Frankie Childe briefing the heroes^[1]

After the cutscene ends, he can be found staring at body bags on the floor with another soldier.
