Cliff is a minor antagonist from Dead Rising 1. He is a former Vietnam veteran who had the unfortunate chance of being at the Willamette mall during the following zombie outbreak. He was there with his granddaughter who lost her life by the infected. This caused him to experience a moment of PTSD and hide within the North Plaza of the mall, hunting down unfortunate survivors who cross his path while under the delusion that everyone is his enemy.

Cliff is a relatively older man with a muscular build. He sports hunting attire in the form of a red plaid vest, dark jeans and a black fishing hat. He also wears dogtags from his time in the war.

Due to his war experience and under the influence of his PTSD episode, he shows some agility and coordination despite that and his age. His favored hunting method is being up close and personal with his machete but also makes use of flashbangs.
