List of The Walking Dead (TV series) characters

From their escape from Hershel's farm to their endeavor to take up residence at a prison, Lori becomes increasingly estranged from Rick and Carl, which she blames on herself; she becomes worried about her baby's survival.

In later episodes set at the prison, Carl witnesses his mother's death during childbirth and assumes the responsibility for putting a bullet in her brain to halt reanimation.

When a walking swarm invades the community, Carl accidentally receives a shot in the right eye, but manages to recover and adapts in the moral balance until the arrival of Negan.

Carol proves to be a very strong and skilled member during the rescue of Rick's group in Terminus, the attack of the Wolves in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, and the war against Negan and the Saviors.

Hershel Greene, portrayed by Scott Wilson,[16] is a veterinarian and farmer who lives on his secluded farm for many years with his wife Annette, and his daughters Maggie and Beth, as well as his son Billy from a previous marriage.

It is eventually discovered that Hershel has been keeping his reanimated first wife Josephine, and various friends and neighbors in his barn; he believes that they are simply just sick people needing to be cured.

He is shown to be a brutal, callous, cruel, cunning, highly intelligent, megalomaniacal, psychopathic, remorseless, and savage man who is a determined survivor and strong leader to those in his group.

She forms a deep and romantic relationship with Abraham Ford in which she and the sergeant share a common experience with post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal imprudence.

During his stay at the Alexandria Safe-Zone, he reconciles with Eugene and assumes the position of community construction leader, ends with Rosita and begins a deep relationship with Sasha.

Tara Chambler, portrayed by Alanna Masterson,[26] is a former police academy student who holes up in an apartment complex with her remaining family—her sister Lilly, her dying father David, and her niece Meghan.

Just before Gareth and his butchers can kill Rick, Daryl, Glenn, and Bob, Carol begins her siege on Terminus by blowing up the propane tank outside, blasting open the fences and allowing walkers to flow in.

Later the Hunters kidnap Bob and eat one of his legs, but when he reveals that he is infected, they savagely beat him and leave him outside Father Gabriel's church, where Rick's group has taken residence.

Morgan helps in the fight against the Saviors and Scavengers, but the violence and the familiar feeling of instability become too much for him, and he once again leaves to be on his own, which leads him to Fear the Walking Dead.

After cornering and introducing himself to Rick's group, Negan brutally murders Glenn and Abraham with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire he calls "Lucille", named after his late wife.

Several months after the fair massacre, Negan suggests to Michonne that in a conflict no one is able to admit that they are the evil ones in the situation, indicating reflection and possibly remorse for his past actions.

Accompanied by his Bengal tiger, Shiva, Ezekiel has always been a pacifist leader, although his community lived in the terrified subjugation of the Saviors until Rick proposed to form an alliance to end Negan's tyranny.

Negan then brutally strangles Simon to death, all the while furiously berating his right-hand man for ruining what chance they had left of making peace with Rick and the rest of the communities.

Jadis (also known as "Anne"), portrayed by Pollyanna McIntosh,[40] is the oddly-spoken and enigmatic leader of the Scavengers who formed alliances with Negan and in the war maintained a neutral position with her group.

After finding a wounded Rick (following the destruction of the bridge), she redeems herself completely by convincing the helicopter pilot to help her to save him; together they both go to an unknown place to start a new journey.

He is the sole survivor of those kidnapped by Alpha during the fair, and his memories of what he witnessed tortured him until he was eventually killed by Dante upon realizing he is a Whisperer spy and reanimates as a walker before being put down by Rosita.

She is shown to be a cold, cunning, egocentric, psychopathic, sadistic, and highly intelligent woman who is a hardened, determined survivor and a strong leader to those in her group, appearing to enjoy being in a position of authority and does not take kindly to anyone who opposes her.

Inside an abandoned building, Beta puts down Alpha, and skins half of her face and attaches it to himself to wear as the new right side of his own mask, declaring himself the new leader of The Whisperers.

Lydia, portrayed by Cassady McClincy (teenager) and Scarlett & Havana Blum (young),[48] is a survivor who, along with her parents, Alpha and Frank, survived the initial stages of the outbreak.

In "Stalker", Lydia returns to rescue Daryl, who is succumbing to his wounds inside an abandoned gas station after a one-on-one brutal fight with Alpha.

After wandering on his own for six to seven months alone, following the fall of Woodbury and defections of Martinez and Shumpert, The Governor encounters the Chambler Family holed up in their apartment building.

They begin to commit numerous horrific actions which include murdering innocent survivors, savagely raping several women, and sadistically hunting their victims.

Terminus is a sanctuary that is first mentioned in the second half of the fourth season over a radio broadcast heard by Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese, and Bob while driving in Zach's car.

The exact location of Terminus is finally revealed in "Us", where it appears to be a relatively vibrant, well-secured settlement, but in actuality hides a dark and brutal secret.

Grady Memorial Hospital, first appearing in "Slabtown", is revealed to be the home of a sheltered group of survivors, who believe that military assistance will eventually come to them after a certain period of time.

Six years after Rick's supposed death at the destruction of the bridge, Oceanside becomes one of the four joint communities of the Militia and later on the Coalition, along with the Alexandria Safe-Zone, the Hilltop Colony and the Kingdom.
