Biography[]
In the Original Outbreak[]
He is a survivor of the Rage Virus and has escaped the Infected which are destroying Britain. He and his wife Alice got together with other survivors in a cottage outside London, near Sandford, but when the village of Sandford is Infected and the Infected run downriver towards them, the cottage is attacked and Donald, after looking for Alice, who ran after a recently appeared child that went into hiding, finds her in the bedroom and locks himself in the bathroom. The Infected run in, looking for him, but when he shuts himself in the bathroom, Donald leaves his wife and runs off by jumping out the window, outrunning all the infected and escaping in a boat. He reaches an American military base in London.
Caretaker of the New London[]
In the 28 weeks that follow, all the Infected die, and Donald is rebuilding the country with the Army. He is full of guilt about Alice, but convinces himself that she died, and there was nothing he could do, because he saw the Infected biting her. But when his kids, Andy and Tammy, come back to Britain along with other survivors, they go back to his old house in London, after Donald told them a false story of Alice dying. Andy actually finds Alice alive, and the Army bring her back to the safe zone.
The Army find that Alice is Infected with Rage and is actually a Carrier because she hasn't mutated like other Infected. So seeing that she can still Infect other humans the Army quarantine her, but Donald, as caretaker, breaks in, using his ID card, and then visits Alice, apologizing deeply, and kissing her. She unintentionally infects him with the Rage Virus, and, after a long, drawn-out Infection, Donald now becomes a very hostile, supremely intelligent Infected, and gouges out Alice's eyes in a gruesome scene. He eviscerates her and exits the room, displaying he is more intelligent than other Infected because he uses his ID card to leave. Donald then begins a murder-spree through the zone, killing and Infecting soldiers. The Army realizes the virus is back, and begin their preparation, putting citizens into a safe room and blacking out the building.
As an Infected[]
But Donald breaks in, and he Infects one man, who goes onto Infect others. Donald looks on in glee as he watches the Rage spread. But Andy, his son, realizes that his father is now infected, and he manages to escape, along with his sister. Donald follows the Infected out onto the streets of London and run through the city. He spies on Andy as the survivors escape, but doesn't attack. Later, when his kids are in the Underground, Donald bursts in and viciously beats Dr. Scarlett with a rifle, killing her, and then he meets his son Andy. Donald beats Andy onto the floor and bites him, trying to Infect him, but this doesn't work, since Andy was supposedly also a carrier because of his mom's genes.
Donald is alerted by Tammy's shout, and she shoots him after a moment of hesitation. Donald doesn't let the bullet dissuade him and runs at her, but she finally shoots him in the chest and he falls down dead, this time for good. Despite his current state, Tammy sobs over his death.

Trivia[]
- Don was the key character and the protagonist at first, but later became the main antagonist for the rest of the film after he got infected, which later caused the main threat throughout the film.
- As an Infected, Donald was unusually very intelligent when compared to other Infected. He was able to leave Alice’s secured room after killing her which could only be done by scanning his ID card. He stalked his children throughout District One and London and he was able to escape District One before the US Army napalmed it. He killed Scarlett using a blunt force weapon rather than killing her with his bare hands like other Infected would, and upon seeing his children, he would have vivid flashbacks to his children but he still attacked them like what any other Infected would do.
- Some theorized that Donald killed Alice because he knew she was a Carrier of Rage and thus he couldn't Infect her and had a hate on her already.
