Adrian "General" Shephard Coleman

Directorship
Adrian "General" Shephard Coleman is the district director of District-1. He is known to be the oldest of the district directors, although he was only 29 years old at the start of the outbreak. During the outbreak, he and his men facilitated the escape of several dozen civilians into a local gym, securing it and training the civilians. He had inadvertently created what would become Outpost 1. He is known to be the most charismatic of the directors in tense combat situations, so much so that even the other directors follow his orders. He is known to favor SMG's and semi-automatic handguns, building up a reputation as the "Handgun Sniper" in District 2. In pre-apocalypse terminology, he is described to be a "liberal", often traveling around with little to no support from his men (but then again, every director does this, except for Director-4) and engaging in small talk with the local populace. It is known that Director-3/5 had crossed paths with Director-1 only within a few days of the outbreak, already contributing the technical scheme of his Spiker Mk. 1 and sniping opportunities to help defend the outpost.

Director-1 is known to be always within reach on the radio, somehow circumventing the laws of radio propagation. One infamous example was his conversation with a Cuban survivor group on a UHF radio rated for 10km. Clearly, Director-1 was anything but near Cuba.

Notable actions
Director-1 is most famous for his setting up of Outpost 1, and as it has been reiterated time and time again, he facilitated the escape of several dozen civilians into the local gym. They were trained and armed to deal with the new world.

Another well-known (but not-so-widely recognized) contribution was Director-1's almost exclusive involvement in the purge of District 3. 3rd Milita members described Director-1 as "badass, ferverous, awe-inspiring". He was commonly seen to enter buildings alone and not come back out for hours at a time. In almost all cases, when militia and guardsmen think that he's dead and prepare to enter the building, Director-1 comes out unscathed. Cleanup crews entering buildings that Director-1 has entered almost always find the dead bodies of the infected, but with no detectable evidence of them actually being killed, i.e. no blood, no bullet casings, no tissue hemorrhaging, no bulletholes, no stab wounds or lacerations, despite the fact that Director-1 insists he's used up ammunition and didn't pick up the bullet casings to make it look like he's a sorcerer. Militiamen who supply Director-1 with ammunition also say that Director-1 definitely uses up ammunition, as he "goes in with 80 rounds, and comes back out with 26", said one militiaman. Despite that, some Science Division engineers still claim that Director-1 is, indeed, a sorcerer, which might also explain his ability to communicate over infinite ranges with a short-range radio.

Other contributions
Director-1 is known to have helped train the 1st and 2nd Militia. He is also known to have helped to refit an old Spanish walled city into the army's HQ and Government Central.
