Personality

Willing to help and doing his best at cheering his companions, he's the life of party of the camp.
As the story goes on, and especially after the hospital arc, it becomes clear that Rocky is mostly in denial with this situation and a lot more scared than he shows. Swag purposefully putting them in danger for the sake of the thrill finally makes him snap and admit he's not having fun anyore. These events lead him to lower his guard and cause him getting hi first bite during a careless excursion, which ironically allows him to go back to a and they often go out on errands together. Swag, which lead to him forgetting he's not bulletproof and tr a deep argument between them. They eventually reconciled ad Rocky staye close to Swag during his recovery from the loss of his foot. Rocky didn't have it in him to tell Swag about his bites until much later, tho it's implied Swag had started to catch on at some point and he's still in denial about it.

They didn't have many chances to interact and they're not very close, but with the burden of being the leader off of Entre's shoulders they managed to spend some time as proper compnions, playing music and doing reconnaissance/supply runs together.
