J.D.

J.D. Salinas was a member of U.B.C.S. He was a CIA agent and before that a Navy SEAL, but Timothy Cain asked him to join U.B.C.S. and he agreed. He entered a team led by One, going to The Hive to shut down the Red Queen. He and Rain Ocampo became fast friends on the team. J.D. had a kind of sardonic sense of humor but was a good soldier. After the Red Queen killed One, Olga Danilova, Alfonso Warner, and Vance Drew, J.D. became highly critical of Chad Kaplan, obviously blaming him for their deaths, and became focused on escaping.

He and Rain encountered the first zombie, which was a woman who they thought was insane. After she bit Rain, J.D. shot her several times, amazed that it never did any good, until he put her down. When Alice, Matt Addison, Kaplan, and Spence Parks heard the gunshots and came, J.D. told them the story and how he killed the "crazed" woman- but the body was not there. Soon the whole area was swarming with zombies, and they needed a way out. Kaplan knew the code to a nearby door which led to a safe area, but he was too scared and shaky to type it correctly, as he was also the only member of the team to never see combat. J.D. typed it in for him, and after saying to Kaplan "Now, was that so hard?", he learned the room was full of zombies and they dragged him in. Rain tried to hold on to his hand but it was lost in the sea of undead. Rain later encountered him in a room of zombies and hesitated before shooting him, as she recognized him. He bit Rain, and she soon put him out of his misery.
