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.

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

 * Many players assume that Ellis is Francis's Left 4 Dead 2 counterpart. Much like Francis, he comments on everything. He also has a tattoo on his right arm, which is a possible reference to Francis' many tattoos, and his description calls him "indestructible"—which Francis seems to think he is, as well.
 * 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 a belt and some tools attached. This version also includes 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 one is featured in the teaser trailer seen at E3 2009). Another one, introduced in the Dark Carnival gameplay footage features him in a more yellowish shirt and jeans instead of mechanic pants. Some people think that Ellis could be customizable, while other think that he just changes his clothes for each campaign.
 * Ellis holds a handgun using only his right hand unlike the other Survivors who use both of their hands as seen in this video.
 * In the new previews, Ellis' accent seems to have been made slighter.
 * According to screenshots and beta gameplay, it's possible that Ellis' default weapon will be the pump shotgun or auto shotgun and his favorite melee weapon may be the axe.
 * His appearance can also be a reference to the Scout from Valve's Team Fortress 2.
