The Paramedic was another of the Sleepers. He was in the middle of giving CPR to a patient when he was activated and walked away. He stole a petrol tanker and drove it to the designated position where he could damage the central oil pipeline and fixed an explosive device to it.

Death: He was obliterated by the explosion.
