Old Man

Old Man, or Eero is an old Finnish man who made friends with Lyanna while in the Safe Zone.

History
Eero takes a liking to Lyanna while she is in the army's custody, comforting her when she cries and listening to her talk about her comics. He agrees when she asks him to play basketball with her and tells her in Finnish that she has the same smile as his daughter when Lyanna asks him to speak Finnish for her.

Though Eero is working with the army when Lyanna is taken and kept in the Safe Zone, he admits to them that he is not a member of the army but simply a man who hunts birds and lied to them. After he says this, he leaves to save Lyanna from the zombies that are attacking the Safe Zone.

Eero breaks down Lyanna's door and leads her to the roof. When Lyanna notes that he seems not to mind killing zombies as they make their way up, he tells her that he hates killing them because he knows they are people but kills because he must. Eero gives her a knife to protect herself with. From the roof, he picks Lyanna up and leaps into the trees, landing on the ground and getting knocked unconscious.

When Eero comes to, he tells Lyanna that he is going back into the building to save others. He gives her his gun and tells her how to hold it before telling her how strong and brave she is. He walks away with his head in his hands.

Eero later appears allied with Takao and The Wolves and reconnects with Lyanna, observing her sharp shoot zombies from a rooftop with the gun he had previously given her.

Personality
Eero is caring and knows how to react to children. When he and Henry hear Lyanna crying, he suggests that they go talk to her and assures her that her friends care about her enough to rescue her. He also pretends to be so weak that Lyanna can send him sprawling with a punch in order to make her laugh.

Eero is very honest in comforting others, but lies about who he is. He does what he believes is right, even if it means disobeying the army leaders. He does not express much facially, making him seem unaffected.
