Ron Freedman's corpse, sitting behind the desk.
Ronald Freedman is a minor character in ZombiU, encountered in the Brick Lane Flats part of London.
Background[]
Ronald Freedman was born in East London and studied at Oxford University, but was secretly a member of the Ravens of Dee. Newspaper clippings found in the game mention that he had an obsession with the works of John Dee, keeping over 500 records of Dee's work, including that of the Studiom Contagione which he kept in a safe in his flat. At one point, Ron had a relationship with Sondra Kelly, who also had an obsession with Dee and so they had something in common. Like Sondra, Ron believed that they should help people out when the Blight comes and that a panacea for the plague must be produced. This caused him to have a conflict with fellow Raven member John William Wright (aka The Prepper) during a meeting.
Once the apocalypse started, Ron seemingly hid in his flat. At some point, all the residents in his block of flats became infected, eventually overrunning the whole building. Ron fought on until he was eventually bitten and succumbed to the infection.
In ZombiU[]
Ron Freedman's corpse is seen slouching back in a chair in a large, empty room. Upon entering the room, a line of infected corpses are leading to Ron's body, leading to the possibility that Ron fought for his life before either being killed or succumbing to infection.
Trivia[]
- The disagreements between Ron and the Prepper regarding Dee's Prophecy, as well as the fact that Ron was in a relationship with Sondra (whom the Prepper had dated previously), could explain as to why the Prepper has a heavy dislike for Ron, as he calls him a "soft-headed imbecile" and a "lying sack of shite" upon realisation that the player is inside of his flat.
