Overview[]
Michael is a timid, pragmatic, and apprehensive man. He generally seems to have good intentions and wants the best for everyone. When Tom starts talking about how Jake is going to die, Michael tells him to stop and at first seems to disagree with Tom trying to kill Jake. However, overtime Michael starts to agree with this sentiment and pleads to Alex to put Jake out of his misery. Michael starts to say he'll do it himself if necessary, but a single glare from Alex makes him stop. Later, Alex kills Michael to protect Jake. It is unknown whether Michael had attempted to kill Jake like Tom.

"Ouroboros"[]
Michael is one of several passengers to have survived the plane crash in the ocean. He is able to make it onto a lifeboat with Alex, Jake, Ian, and Tom. That night, after Alex kills Tom for trying to murder Jake, Michael pleads Alex to end Jake's suffering and to prevent the possibility of Jake reanimating. Alex silenced Michael with a threatening stare.
After an unspecified time, Michael is killed by Alex and reanimates into a zombie in the ocean and ends up getting stuck in the filtration system of The Abigail. He is encountered by Travis as he attempts to investigate what is blocking the filtration system. For his second attempt to clear the filtration system, Travis stabs Michael in the head and cuts off his hand which remains stuck in the filtration system. Travis later manages to remove his severed hand from the pipes and get the boat going again.

Trivia[]
- The casting call for this character used the name Oscar Fratto.[1]
- Michael was described as "Middle-aged. He is a mid-level sales manager at a Midwest box store. He is single, thin, and meek. He is a good worker bee, but modern life is a little too much for him. He has reached that point in his life when he's realized he hasn't done much with it."
