One day, he was informed by Abigail when a villager named Oscar defeated a zombie that had tried to attack their village, but received a very concerning bite in the process, with Rain and Abigail then hurrying to the scene. The same event was re-depicted in 1 of a Kind, their friend Robin rushing towards them.

At nightfall, Oscar became an infected zombie himself and started violently infecting people in the village, while Herobrine's horde attacked, starting the Outbreak at Glacierford. During this time, Rain, Abigail Crysteffor and several other survivors fled the village through the wall, escaping the zombies. They attempted to outrun the Zombies through the vast taiga, however Herobrine's army eventually caught up to them the next night after setting up camp.

While the other survivors fought the Zombies, Rain engaged in a duel with Herobrine, although Herobrine teleported when at the brink of death. With the rest of the survivors killed, Rain and Abigail attempt to cross a bridge, but a Creeper explodes and separates them one on each side of the bridge. Fighting off the zombies in an attempt to buy Abigail time, Abigail is petrified as he is zombified and killed.

Cold as Ice

In Cold as Ice, Rain's body is recovered when Ser Patrick and Daryll the Bandit of the Frostbourne cross into the area to wipe out the remaining Undead. After feeding him a paralyzing potion, they return to their base, the Frostbourne Castle on horseback, carrying his body.


At the Dreadfort, Rain is revived and cured by Lady Azura, one eye turning red in the process, and joins the Frostbourne. He starts training and is eventually given an Ice Armorset and an ice sword. The Ender Watchers later laid siege to the Dreadfort with their army and the Ender Dragon, but a short-lived war ceased after Rain teleported to the End with an Ender Pearl and tamed the Ender Dragon, forging an alliance.
