Overall Personality: Paul was once a very carefree and cheerful person, pre-apocalypse but due to many losses including his wife and his children (to his knowledge), he has become very hardened and closed off. He treats everyone as equal apart from people he believes has got rid of there morals and embraced depravity. He doesn't forgive murders who kill for the sake of killing and cannibals because there are other ways of surviving without killing other humans and embracing the apocalypse in his eyes.

He is very hard on the people he survives alongside and can push people to extremes due to his abrasiveness but he means well and wants the best of what people can offer.





History: Paul was born in the small town of Bar Harbor into a military family with both of his parents being in the military and in turn this meant he always wanted to be in the military himself, he wasn't that well built when he was younger and was relatively picked on by bullies because of this and he was laughed at because of the fact he was so weak and his father was so strong and one of the alumni of the school.
Paul never wanted to be like his father who was abusive to him when he was a child but never left permanent scars on him so he couldn't go to the police, his mother seemed to care either because she believed the abuse would toughen him up for what was to come in the military.

Paul used to hide in the library of the school to do his homework and overall avoid his Mother and Father and while doing so he met his future wife Alice with both of them hitting it off and began dating not long after that and Paul decided to hide it from his parents because he didn't want them finding out and decide to break them up with his parents version of "toughening him up" and the longer they dated Alice began noticing the bruises from his Father when they used to go out on dates and meals.

Paul graduated and then was immediately drafted in the military by his parents but before he left he made sure to propose to Alice and then he went to fight in the military, during his service he bulked up quite a lot due to the fact he didn't want to be taken to grated by the military officers and during one of his rotations, Alice realized she was pregnant and made sure that he knew and Paul was overjoyed but he wasn't able to return for the birth but Alice decided to name the first born Paul Spectre Jr. after his father and Paul was pleased with this.

Paul was luckily out of rotation for his second sons birth who they named Barry but not long after he was called to fight again, over the many years of service and his dedicated service to the military Paul was eventually promoted to Second Lieutenant but not long after his promotion, shit hit the fan and the outbreak happened. Paul was ordered to serve in securing Atlanta and other city to make sure the Walkers didn't attack, Paul was told that Atlanta was safe so he sent his wife, his children and their children there and he went out securing other towns.
Unfortunately the quarantine didn't hold and eventually walkers in huge numbers had made there way to Atlanta and Paul alongside his platoon was ordered to help secure the area but there was only so much that they could do they cleared a few streets but more corners they turned more appeared being drawn by the noise they made and in one of the hordes Paul spotted his wife who had turned, Paul lost composure and began blasting the walkers to the nth degree and eventually reached his wife and with tears in his eyes put her down.

With the loss of his wife he believed that his children and their children also perished and because of this he fully committed himself to his work but believing Atlanta was lost with the amount of Walkers in there he eventually order his platoon to abandon the city, he was ordered all over the country trying to secure different towns eventually his awarded a field promotion of Captain but not long after he lost contact with Military High Command and so Paul was left in command of a platoon at least half of the size as when they started.

Paul at the other side of America near the borders of Alaska began his journey back to his hometown, killing many walkers along the way but losing many of his platoon due to the same reason or them leaving to see if their families were alive, leaving Paul in charge of at least a squad about a third of what he started with and eventually after many years he nearly made his way back to Bar Harbor
