Francis has a self-centered personality that seems to resent aspects of Bill's leadership whilst treating Louis with an openly dismissive attitude at times. Valve commentary reveals that he is an impressive 6 feet 5 inches tall (195 cm). He wears a black leather vest over a white tank top, fingerless gloves, black jeans, and boots.

The Valve connection is strengthened by the fact that Francis has the Lambda symbol from the Half-Life series cut into his hair. Since his character model was changed during development, it has been speculated that Francis' new face was modeled after the head developer of the game, Mike Booth. His tattoos identify him as a member of "Hell's Legion," a name possibly inspired by the real-world Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. During the time of his life, Bill was the unofficial team leader, although his relationship with Francis was never easy whilst, towards the end and as revealed in The Sacrifice comic, the relationship shared with Zoey was placed under considerable strain.īill is voiced by Jim French, who also voiced Father Grigori in Valve's Half-Life 2 and the Fisherman in Half-Life 2 Lost Coast.įrancis is a tough biker with tattoos covering his arms and neck.

His body can be seen next to the generator in the final level of The Passing at The Port, alongside his signature Assault Rifle, which can be taken and used by the player. It is revealed in The Passing that Bill was killed prior to the bridge being raised during The Sacrifice, enabling the safety of the other Left 4 Dead Survivors. He always has a lit cigarette in his mouth. He and Francis appear to have a prickly relationship, often spewing insults or jokes at one another, but this may, in fact, be friendlier than what they let on. In official media, he is usually seen wielding the Assault Rifle―a weapon he prefers in-game and which complements his backstory.
He wears an olive green military beret, a matching jacket with a stained white shirt underneath, dark gray-brown pants, and jungle boots. Army 1st Special Forces Group and his combat skills have helped to keep him alive. He is a Vietnam veteran who fought in the U.S. When controlled as AI Bots, Survivors will have preference over specific weaponry, and will attempt to choose that type if possible.Īged in his sixties, Bill is the oldest of all the Survivors. Every Survivor plays the same their physical differences are purely cosmetic and do not alter gameplay. Players can choose which Survivor they control in the lobby, or be automatically assigned to a Survivor that is not being controlled by a player when they join a game that is already in progress. In the comic, the Survivors are referred to as "Tango-Mike" (T-M in the NATO Alphabet) by the APC Driver, probably in reference to Typhoid Mary, the most notorious real-life carrier known in America.Įach playable Survivor has their own unique appearance, personality, dialogue, and backstory, making them easier to identify at a distance. There are also non-playable Survivors that players will meet throughout the campaigns. At the start of the first campaign in Left 4 Dead 2, the playable characters have just met each other and do not even know each other's names. In Left 4 Dead, it is never explained how the Survivors met up with each other, or how long they have been together (although judging by the timing given by the intro cutscene and The Sacrifice comic, it is less than 12 days by the start of the first campaign). In addition, The Sacrifice comic presents the hypothesis that the Survivors are Carriers of the Infection―and as such are a positive danger to any uninfected humans they encounter. Although the playable characters are immune, a comment by Bill suggests that they could become an Infected at any point. The term, however, is commonly used to refer to the eight playable characters from the Left 4 Dead game series. The Survivors are people in the world who have not contracted the Infection (either by virtue of being a carrier or possessing some form of immunity).
