This is an old character. He is the founding member of a group formed back in WWII called the Unknown Soldier Project. They were supermen created by the US government to battle the Nazis. US here, is your typical insanely strong 'good ol' boy' Country Fried zombie, wielding a chaingun that would give a TF2 Heavy a hernia. Sometimes using it as a blunt instrument. He is fully capable of rending a man in twain with his bare hands, but of course is not only gentle as a lamb, but also doofy and pretty stupid. But extremely patriotic.

He's also been a monster hunter, which is why he's shown with the stake gun in this scene, running away from the ghoulds like a bad Scooby Doo knock-off. A zombie afraid of monsters? How comical and silly! Get Hanna Barbara on the phone!
