Major Story Arcs

The fights in Woodbury are meant to be a show. Zombies are placed around the fighters to keep the action close without too many respites. Harold gets lined into a fight with a fellow Woodbury citizen named Eugene and the two duke it out. Harold, getting a little too heated, knocks Eugene in the face with a crowbar, effectually knocking out a majority of Eugene’s teeth.

A few days later, Harold visits with Dr. Stevens to get his bandages removed so that he can reenter the arena without looking like he’s been whooped before. Eugene busts in and demands to know why Harold would so brutally cripple him when the fights were just for show. Harold explains that he got too caught up in the moment. Eugene responds by stabbing Harold in the neck.
