George Gutter

George Gutter was a scientist who accidentally created the zombie plague. Gutter was portrayed by Jack Hillebrecht in Rise of the Dead 2: Apocalypse.

History
It was implied in The Rise of the Dead that Gutter worked for the government. George Gutter accidentally created the zombie plague as a means to cure diseases and keep people alive for thousands of years. Once the Apocalypse began in July of 2013, Gutter created a bottle of a liquid medication that could cure the affliction that he had created. Gutter hid the antidote away in his apartment and sent a plea out on the internet for someone to come and claim it. Gutter was then attacked by a zombie and it was believed that he turned into one himself. However, it was revealed in Rise of the Dead: The Undead Heart that he survived the encounter. His cure would eventually be claimed by JJack, Ryan, and John and six years later would be taken by Alyssa. At some point after May 2019, Alyssa met Gutter. She would call Dr. Gutter when Molly returned and he told her that Molly could be revived by doing a blood transfusion with Alyssa. He made arrangements to meet Alyssa to go through this procedure, but it ultimately never transpired. Alyssa would eventually use her immunity to heal zombies to Half-zombies and end the apocalypse.
