Bill Brenton

"I can't believe this. How could there be such a thing as zombies?"

- Bill, upon reaching the security room

Bill Brenton is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising. He is found trapped behind a pile of cardboard boxes in In The Closet during the unmarked scoop Man in a Bind.

Man in a Bind
Bill is found trapped in the storage area of a clothing store in Entrance Plaza. He calls out to Frank when he hears somebody entering the store. After removing the cardboard boxes trapping him, he will thank Frank and explain that he had been trapped for two whole days after the boxes fell down while he was getting the place arranged. He walks out of the store only to find a number of zombies in front of the place. After letting him know about the situation, Bill agrees to follow Frank to the Security Room.

Ronald's Appetite
After being rescued, he will wait in the room with the blue door. When Ronald Shiner complains about the lack of food, he rallies up the other survivors in the same room, including Bill, to head out and look for food. If Frank does not stop Ronald's mutiny, Bill will leave the Security Room along with the other survivors in the same room. They will no longer count towards the number of rescued survivors.

Trivia

 * While Bill is trapped, a small group of zombies will roam outside the store. It is the only clue that Bill is there, but seeing as no other scoops during the time he appears happen in that area he is very easy to miss.
 * Bill's picture is used for the Freefall achievement.
 * Bill's predicament may be a reference to R&B artist R. Kelly's urban opera musical "Trapped In the Closet".
