In the early days following Zero Day, William Marquardt found himself on his boat, alone, defending it and himself from a marauding local gang looking for food and equipment they believed were aboard. While he was always good with a gun, his boat was not the most sheltered position and he was taking fire. William grabbed a piece of spare Bulwark, wedged it in front of him against the side of the boat, and weathered a hail of bullets as he returned fire. After this incident William saw a need for specialized protection and began to experiment with metal scraps and firearms and devised a unique combination of armor that gave heavy protection while also allowing him to dish out accurate and deadly fire of his own. Since that day, the locals simply call him Bulwark, and they avoid his boat.
