Richard Connelly

Richard Connelly was an insurance claim adjuster when one of the creatures killed his brother. He went "crazy" and lost his family and job.

He established an alliance with Laura Daughtery to prove the existence of these creatures and later they are forced to fight for their survival, when the creator of these creatures, Alfred Kessler, launches his henchmen to kill them to maintain these creatures a secret. At first he thinks the government is covering up the existence of the new species, but later he reaises through Lauda that they were created by a secret company controlled by Kessler.

During the tsunami he meets Miles, his girlfriend Caitlin and Nim. They all survive the tsunami and look at a devastated and flooded Wilmington.
