* GoneHorriblyRight: Dr. Barnaby's machine was supposed to halt the loss of higher brain functions, decay, and hunger, resulting in an effectively immortal man. What he didn't expect was that the resulting "man" would be able to take a grenade point-blank to the face without flinching ''and'' regenerate when absorbing electricity. Calder not only proved to be completely insane and bloodthirsty, but also nearly indestructible and incontainable.

His book about the Willamette incident is trashed as the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist, his evidence of the government's involvement is "debunked", he ''sucker-punched the President'' by mistake, and all his admirers are eccentric conspiracy theorists; hell, he got disinvited from a zombie convention in ''Willamette'' of all places. After getting caught sneaking around an Obscuris base in the prologue, Frank is subject to a months-long manhunt, apparently for the murder of military personnel.
