"Hello. I see you found Gesner's Book. I hope it wasn't too much trouble."
- Dr. Knight
Dr. Peter Knight is a friendly survivor and minor character in ZombiU.
A military field medic, he has survived in the royal bunkers beneath Buckingham Palace. He has been in search of the fabled panacea, a universal cure John Dee looked for.
Comic[]
Once the outbreak began to take hold, Knight and the rest of the Omega group soldiers attempted to hold the bunker under the palace, and the doctor began to test a prototype Panacea. While testing the injection on a restrained infected, his trigger-happy guard shot the subject in the head before any results could be observed.
Shortly after, the rest of Omega group fell to the horde and he put on a hazmat suit to protect himself, doing his best to keep the cameras working in the bunker.
Gameplay[]
When first encountered by the survivor, he is found experimenting on an infected human while wearing a hazmat suit in a bulletproof glass medical chamber. Here, he is looking for a way to cure the plague.
He first sends the survivor to go retrieve letters from Dee himself and a book written by Gesner, as he says they hold the key to the Panacea. When you retrieve Gesner's Book, you will find him in his chamber without a Hazmat suit on. He looks to be infected (having possibly been bitten while experimenting and no longer bothering with the hazmat suit), but gives himself a shot and the infection recedes, as the included picture shows. He will then upgrade your scanner and begin to decipher the letters.
After you do a few more missions for The Prepper, you will then return to him and he will then send you off to find more letters. When they have been retrieved he will become excited and send you off while he begins to make the Panacea.
Later on, he will contact you via radio, telling you to meet him at Buckingham Palace while coughing heavily. He expresses disappointment that the panacea is only a vaccine instead of a cure, but resolves to get it to you regardless. When you arrive, you will find him in the palace as a powerful Enraged Infected, which will proceed to attack once it sees you. You will then be forced to kill him. Once he is dead, you must take his eyeball in order to access the security door that leads to the flooded chambers underneath, which, in turn, leads to an open vault which gives you the panacea.
Trivia []
- Dr. Knight is voiced by Tom Goodman Hill.
- Dr. Knight is simply referred to as "The Doc".
- He is only encountered once outside of his personal quarantine.
- The Doc seemed to have become infected after you leave him the first time, his Hazmat suit can be found bloodied outside of his chamber.
- The Doc seems to have a deterrent for the infection, though it doesn't last long.
- As an infected, The Doc can kill you in one hit. (It depends on what mode of difficulty and how much life you have)
- When you find Dr. Knight as an infected, there is also an armored infected in the room with him. It's possible that the armored accelerated the process of Dr. Knight's infection by killing him, not that much time was left for Dr. Knight anyways.
- If you go into Dr.Knight's personal quarantine after he has fled deep into Buckingham, scan by his bloodied hazmat suit to find a recorder. This recorder has Dr.Knight's own little diary about him and finding the Pancea.
- According to the recorder, Dr. Knight is infected on "day seven", and "only the latest iteration of my Panacea test keeps me... from succumbing entirely". Also, the document mentions that Dr. Knight has a hunch that he will not survive and it was after he goes to "the surface... to call for help" that he turns into an infected.
- Vikram and he are the only two characters in the game that do not swear.
