Stephen "Doc" Beck is a main character and a survivor of the initial zombie apocalypse in Z Nation, first encountered in Season 1 Episode 1 "Puppies and Kittens". He is a member and the medic of the Westward-Bound Survivor Group.

Background

Stephen Beck – or "Doc" as everyone knows him – isn’t actually a doctor. He’s just a self-educated "ER" fan with a really, really strong stomach. Doc’s an ex-addict, yet currently a drug dealer, who is rough around the edges, but a stand up guy once you get to know him.

In the episode "Full Metal Zombie", Doc reveals that he has a son out there somewhere, and had him when he was 19.

Doc mentioned his past in the navy when asked about his vaccination history.

In the episode "Day One", during a flashback it was shown he used to be a counselor. He mentioned previous addictions but that he had been clean for years. However, as the apocalypse hit he took some Oxycontin in order to deal with what he had to do. He has been known to occasionally use Oxycontin for non-medical purposes.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 1

"Puppies and Kittens"

Doc is first seen trading wares with traders, Sketchy and Skeezy. He returns to the Upstate New York survivor group camp only to find it overrun. He regroups with Charles Garnett and the group goes to find the military convoy. The convoy is found destroyed, and Doc, Addy, and Mack look about the area. They find a cage surrounded by zombies.

The zombies are cleared, and Mack approaches the person inside. The person, Cassandra, lunges at Mack but calms down after several seconds.

Doc is later grappled by a zombie and is saved by 10K. He is last seen offering 10K a place in the group.

"Full Metal Zombie"

Doc is allowed to see General McCandles and points out that his wound has become gangrenous. Unhappy with the prognosis, McCandles throws him down a ventilation shaft, where he is trapped alongside Dr. Morgan Henley, the previous medic that McCandles threw down the shaft, who has now become a zombie.

Trivia

• He was born on 20 April 1969.
• Like Roberta Warren who appeared during Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, he appeared during Sharknado 5: Global Swarming where he was only shown in Kansas and was referred to as Steve. This makes Doc the second character to be shown on the Sharknado film series, following Roberta.
