Steve Burnside was infected with the T-Veronica virus and much like Alexander; his body rejected the virus and mutated. His muscles grew rapidly, his skin changed to a green color. He was no longer himself; he became a berserker with a giant axe, so powerful he could destroy whole pillars with one swing. He tried to kill Claire but some humanity was still left in him, the true Steve came through and fought with Alexia’s giant tentacle but lost his life to it.
