Psychopaths

In addition to battling thousands of zombies, Frank West, Chuck Greene and Nick Ramos must also deal with psychopaths: humans who have either gone mad due to the zombie outbreak or are otherwise corrupt or evil. They serve as the games' bosses.

Incidentally, not all of the "psychopaths" are genuinely insane. For example, the Convicts are a trio of criminals who escaped prison, commandeered a military Humvee and are simply taking advantage of the outbreak by causing chaos without having to worry about the police. The Looters rob Fortune City, taking advantage of the fact that nobody can stop them. Brock Mason is a cold-blooded career soldier assigned to contain the Willamette incident at any cost. Snowflake is simply a hungry Tiger, but can be rescued. Cletus is overly cautious and kills anyone who attempts to take guns from his hunting store out of the belief that other humans are just as potentially dangerous as the zombies.

At times, the game considers normal people to be psychopaths until defeated for the storyline. Isabela Keyes, for example, is entirely sane, but must be defeated by Frank in combat to get her to listen to him. Afterwards, she becomes an ally and plays a major role in the story.

Similarities
Although almost nothing about all the psychopaths is identical, there are a few minor similarities that stand out. Most psychopaths will usually drop some combination of unique weapons, combo cards, keys, or books. Most psychopaths also have hostages.
