- "It's not easy to choose who lives and dies. It shouldn't be my decision. It shouldn't be anyone's decision. So for us to go around and pretend we're some sort of heroes--For us to pretend that we're the good guys--We can't. We cannot venture into the dark, and save everybody. It's not safe, it's not feasible, it's not possible."
- —Preston Hand to Terry Winters.[src]
Preston Hand is a main character and survivor of the outbreak in GWR's What Remains. He is a resident of Monroe and chief of the Peacekeepers.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Location Unknown[]
When the outbreak first started, Preston was a police officer. Nothing else is known about his life before or after the outbreak began.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Monroe County, New York[]
At some point in the apocalypse, Preston somehow came into contact with a community called "Monroe" which he subsequently joined; due to his background, he was placed in the "Monroe Rangers" and rose to the rank of Second in Command under Chief Max Stone.
Preston aided his group in upholding the law and order of Monroe and protecting its citizens from threats outside and inside the walls.
