Season 1

"People Are a Resource"

In Perlie's lavish cell, a Buraz delivers two plates of dinner, a bottle of wine, and turns on a record player before standing off to the side. The Croat enters the room and joyfully greets Perlie, turning on a heat lamp and the lights. The Croat invites Perlie to dine with him when he suddenly discovers that the meat on his dish is rotten with larvae inside it and shoves himself away from the table. The Croat demands to know why the Buraz would serve him rotten meat before interrupting his explanation and forcing him to swallow the handcuff key. The Croat furiously shoves the Buraz's head and neck several times into the railing, breaking the man's neck, killing him, before shoving him over the edge to the arena floor below and leaving.

Later, a disorientated Perlie is chained to a post in the ring, and the zombified Buraz that the Croat had killed earlier, his head tilted at an angle from his broken neck, is shoved in with him. Dodging the walker a few times, Perlie manages to grab him from behind, wrap his handcuff chains around the walker's throat, and, pinning the walker against the post, dig the chain into his neck hard enough to decapitate the man. The disappointed crowd throws bottles into the ring, and Perlie grabs a broken one and uses it to cut open the walker's stomach and retrieve the handcuff key, freeing himself. Two more walkers are shoved into the ring with Perlie, who searches for a way out. Unable to find one, Perlie removes his right boot, after hesitating over his left boot, and he uses it to bash in the walkers' faces, impressing the Croat.

It is unknown if this Buraz was put down following the fight in the ring.

Trivia

• This character was portrayed by Stunt Coordinator Christopher Place as a zombie in the fight ring.
• A broken neck is fatal if it severs the spinal cord, because it consequently blocks the neural connections between the brain and the rest of the body - heart, lungs, but most relevantly, limbs. Even though The Croat killed this Buraz by breaking his neck, this zombified Buraz was somehow able to get up and attack Perlie just like a regular walker would. This oversight can also be seen in the cases of Randall, Sylvie, and Roksana.
