Overall Personality: Steven is a very closed off person when it comes to opening up to people due to him being a social outcast before the outbreak.

He can be very blunt when questioned about something in believing in just telling the truth and he keeps to a moral code in not killing anyone unless they absolutely deserve it and believes in giving people second chances.

History: Steven was a son of a sailor and he didn’t have a mother due to her dying in childbirth and because of this his father needed to make more money resulting in him constantly having his father leave and stay out for weeks, possibly months without coming back.



Steven used to have babysitters but after he turned 13 he stopped having them come over leaving him to his own devices and because of this Steven became very self sufficient when he was by himself. His school life suffered due to this not wanting to hang out with people causing him to become somewhat of an outcast. Due to constant bullying from people eventually Steven took up Karate and quickly mastered the craft and continued to practice eventually earning a black belt



Eventually his father’s boat capsized on a fishing trip and this caused Steven to be orphaned and become even more shut off because he believed his father had abandoned him. Not wanting to be sent to a foster home or care home, Steven picked up odd jobs around the town which had him meeting a few people and forming bonds with them, it didn’t cause him to not be closed off anymore but it allowed him to develop some of his people skills.



Eventually once the outbreak hit Steven was forced to leave his home and began to wander aimlessly one his journey he came across a baseball bat which he used to kill his first walker and this promted him to give it a name calling it Bessie and then next time he passed a hardware store he upgraded it to have nail in it.

After walking for around for quite some time and killing more walkers by himself he, eventually coming upon a high school which had been changed into a stronghold called New Haven and they were welcoming children into the school. Steve had met the leader of the group called Eden and became fast friends with he and overtime Steve worked his way up the ladder at the school by doing odd jobs and improving a majority of the life there due to this Eden had Steve begin working directly under her as her second in command learning a lot of leadership skills.



This was short lived however and eventually Eden had been killed and this eventually to the stronghold holding an election and Steve was voted as the leader catching him by surprise. The longer he was a leader the more he realized how well suited for the role he was expanding on what Eden had started wanting to continue her legacy.
