Chuck Greene encounters Dean Wayne at The American Historium in the Americana Casino, who is fending off zombies with a handgun. Chuck offers to guide him back to the safehouse, but despite an old war wound that causes him to move slowly, Dean refuses to be carried, since he doesn't want to be seen as a "cripple". Chuck can allow Dean to slowly follow him back to the safehouse or use a wheelchair to bring him faster. If Chuck is carrying the leadership magazine, Dean becomes one of the fastest survivors.
Normally, Dean is one of the worst survivors due to his slow speed. However, if the leadership magazine is in Chuck's inventory, Dean becomes possibly one of the best. His running speed is comparable to Chuck's full speed, faster than any other survivor aside from Snowflake. You can also use a Wheelchair to transport him through the level, if you didn't get the Leadership magazine.
