Ellis

Ellis is one of the four playable Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. He's a goofy, beer-loving smart guy that likes to work with machines. He seems to serve as Francis' replacement.

Description
Most people would be scared witless by the zombie outbreak. Not Ellis—he's 21 and indestructible, so there was no way he was getting infected. The Savannah native respects his mother, loves his job and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. A little cocky, it remains to be seen if the end of the world will show him fear for the first time.

Trivia

 * It seems that the designers have changed Ellis' clothing designs multiple times, going from a plain green cap and blue jeans, to a blue and white NASCAR-esque cap with bulky mechanic pants with also a T-Shirt, which has crossed flags drawn and words "J.B. Autoservice" painted under them, so it appears as his working T-shirt. This version includes a belt with some things attached. Some people think that Ellis could be customizable, while other think that he just changes his clothes for each campaigns. Also, Ellis is wearing the green cap on The Parish campaign poster, while he is wearing the white and blue one in the trailer and the videos.
 * Ellis may take up Francis habit of commenting on everything, except instead of "I hate x," he may say "I love x," given his line in the Garden Maze video.
 * Ellis holds a handgun using only his right hand unlike the other survivors who uses both of their hands as seen in this Swamp Fever video.
