Recurring cast[]
Main characters[]
Rick Grimes[]
Rick Grimes, portrayed by Andrew Lincoln, is a former sheriff's deputy from the fictitious King County in Georgia. He is often described as an everyman[1][2][3]—smart, calm, just, and a good friend, husband and father, but with his own set of flaws. Rick is a natural leader even when he might doubt himself, but these doubts contribute to the ups and downs his character experiences throughout the series. His overwhelming need to do the right thing and protect those who cannot protect themselves may pull him away from his family, causing tension within his marriage with Lori and his relationship with his son, Carl.
Rick is the first main character we meet in the first episode. During an arrest, he is shot and spends time in a hospital in a coma. When he awakens, he discovers that "walkers" have begun to take over and the world as he knew it is gone. Thus begins an odyssey, first to find his family, then to keep them safe.
As time passes Rick loses his wife Lori who in a cesarean dies bleeding when she gives birth to Judith. Later he meets Michonne, and distrusts her for a long time. Later, they form a strong bond. While he knows Judith is not his biological child, Rick is a true father to her and to Carl. He becomes a father again with Michonne, but as of Season 9, he did not know of this son's existence; he exited the story before the son was born.
After several seasons that consist mostly of wandering as the leader of an increasingly large group, Rick finds a home of sorts in the Alexandria Safe Zone. Here his relationship with Michonne begins. However, this is interrupted by the arrival of The Saviors. The ruthlessness of their leader Negan forces Rick to choose a submissive role in the hope of keeping the community safe. Over the course of seasons 7, 8, and 9, Rick forms alliances with Hilltop and the Kingdom and decides to make war on Negan, Carl dies when a walker bites him. Carl's last wish was for his father to find a way to forgive Negan and even join forces with him so that a large, strong community can live in peace, safe from walkers. Rick is torn between his desire for revenge and his son's wish for reconciliation, and at the end of Season 8, he manages to find a middle ground by almost but not quite killing Negan and deciding to keep him in a cell in Alexandria. When Rick and the communities build a bridge there is chaos with the rebellious saviors and conflict with members of his group who believe Negan should die in retribution for murdering Abraham and Glenn. In the midst of the conflict, Rick is critically wounded; the bridge is blown up, and Rick is presumed dead. However, unbeknownst to Michonne, Daryl, and the rest of the community, a nearly dead Rick is discovered by Jadis, who arranges him to be taken off in a helicopter with her, to an unknown destination.[4][5]
Shane Walsh[]
Shane Walsh, portrayed by Jon Bernthal,[6] is a former sheriff's deputy from a small Georgia town. He was Rick's partner in the sheriff's department and his best friend since high school. After the walkers begin to take over, Shane goes to visit Rick in the hospital, where he has lain in a coma since being shot. He cannot save Rick (and he also welcomes this opportunity to take Rick's place with Lori and Carl), but he blocks the hospital door with a gurney and hopes Rick will die quietly of natural causes. Until Rick's recovery and reappearance, Shane led the group of Atlanta survivors and was Lori's lover. His fixation on Lori becomes very obsessive and deranged, though he tries to acclimate to the reality of Rick as leader of the group and Lori's rightful husband. Shane shows a ruthless side, allowing Otis to be killed by walkers so that he can escape. Rick eventually confronts him for all his atrocities but even so he forgives him. Later Shane formulates a plan to kill Rick but fails. Rick ends his life with a knife in the chest and then Carl ends his reanimation.
Lori Grimes[]
Lori Grimes, portrayed by Sarah Wayne Callies,[7] is Rick's wife, and Carl and Judith's mother. In the first season, Lori believes that Rick has died in the hospital from a gunshot wound, while the walkers are taking over, creating chaos and forcing Lori and Carl to run, under the protection of Shane. A few episodes later, they find out Rick is alive. When Rick reunites with Lori, this attracts the harassment of Shane who gradually becomes more and more hostile even when he knows that she is expecting a child of his. Rick manages to learn about this event afterwards. 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, and when she goes into labor following a walker attack, Lori convinces Maggie to give her a C-section, despite the fact that it will prove fatal for her. Lori dies giving birth, and Carl is forced to shoot her to prevent reanimation.
Andrea[]
Andrea, portrayed by Laurie Holden,[8] is a former civil rights attorney who is extremely protective of her younger sister, Amy. Following Amy's death, she considers suicide, but decides to remain with the group. With the others, they find a farm owned by Hershel Greene. At the farm, she continued to confide and seek comfort in Dale, and gains survivalist skills through Shane. After escaping Hershel's overrun farm, she is rescued by Michonne and is brought by Merle to Woodbury, where she begins a romantic relationship with The Governor. She is eventually caught in the crossfire between Rick and The Governor, and attempts to mend relations, but later turns on The Governor after learning that he intends to attack the prison. She is captured by The Governor and left in a room with an undead Milton, who bites her before she is able to free herself. She is discovered by Michonne, Rick, and the others, and makes amends before taking her own life.
Dale Horvath[]
Dale Horvath, portrayed by Jeffrey DeMunn,[9] is an older man and former car salesman. His age, calm affect, worldly experience, and RV provide the nucleus around which the small community of survivors has formed. He is wise, and the respected elder of the group. He is also rather feisty and not afraid to speak his mind or call others out for mistakes in judgment. Dale manages to talk Andrea out of a suicide attempt by putting himself at risk, as well. Dale becomes wary of Shane, after witnessing that Shane contemplated assassinating Rick beforehand as well as guessing that Shane killed Otis while retrieving medical supplies for Carl. Dale becomes upset at the group when they decide to kill Randall to avoid any risks he might have posed and argues for sparing his life, leading to the execution being postponed. Dale is mortally wounded by a walker, who was accidentally lured by Carl earlier that day. At his own request, Daryl mercy kills Dale when his injuries are revealed to be beyond treatment and he begins to slowly suffer to death. Dale's death causes the group to reevaluate their unity and allow Randall to live.
Glenn Rhee[]
Glenn Rhee, portrayed by Steven Yeun,[10] is a former pizza delivery boy from Atlanta, who knows every shortcut in Atlanta. Glenn saves Rick's life at the beginning of the outbreak and helps him find his wife Lori and son Carl. As time goes by, Glenn becomes a very important member of the Hershel-inspired group as well as a supply courier in his experience of knowing the streets. While at the farm, he meets Hershel's daughter Maggie, the two fall in love and marry, eventually with Hershel's blessing. Together they manage to pass many hard tests as they travel northward, eventually arriving at Alexandria. When Maggie experiences complications in her pregnancy, Glenn is captured and, along with Rosita, Daryl, Michonne, Abraham, Maggie, Rick, Sasha, Carl, Eugene, and Aaron, is forced to kneel before Negan as punishment for the raid. Negan's wrath lands on Abraham, and Daryl's reaction to Abraham's death causes Negan to additionally bludgeon Glenn to death. His remains are taken by Maggie and Sasha to the Hilltop, where he and Abraham are buried together.
Carl Grimes[]
Carl Grimes, portrayed by Chandler Riggs,[11] is the son of Rick and Lori, and Judith's older brother. Carl's innocence diminishes as he begins to discover and experience the brutality in this world. While approaching a deer in the woods, he is accidentally shot by Hershel's friend Otis. Hershel manages to save Carl's life. In later episodes set in the prison, Carl witnesses his mother's death during childbirth and assumes the responsibility for putting a bullet in her brain to halt reanimation.
Carl's emotional equilibrium is stabilized upon arrival at Alexandria. He begins to form friendships with the original residents there, and with Enid, a young girl who narrowly escaped the walkers after they killed her parents. 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. During the war against Negan, Carl hatches a daring plan to infiltrate the Sanctuary and kill Negan. However, they end up forming a wary alliance. Negan is hugely impressed with Carl's determination and frequently makes comparisons between Carl and his father Rick. Nonetheless, Negan never hesitates to endanger Carl's life, first by threatening to amputate his arm (Rick begs Negan not to, but Carl says "Let him do it, Dad."), and then by threatening to bludgeon Carl just before Hilltop, the Kingdom and Oceanside repel the Saviours. Later, Carl meets Siddiq and decides to help him repel a walker attack, but is bitten on the torso by a walker. Some days later, during a Savior attack, Carl reveals the secret to his father, Michonne and the group. He reveals to his father that he wrote several letters to family and friends (including Negan), and commits suicide to prevent his reanimation.

Daryl Dixon, portrayed by Norman Reedus,[12] is Merle's younger brother. A Southern redneck with a tough background, Daryl is a survivalist and member of the Atlanta band. At first he held hostility towards the Atlanta group but with the passage of time, he quickly becomes one of Rick's closest confidantes and a leader within the group. Daryl is Rick's best friend and his right-hand man.
Daryl keeps mainly to himself, reluctant to reveal his emotional inner life. He feels great guilt over the death of his older brother Merle, his inability to find Carol's daughter Sophia before the walkers do, the murder of Beth at Grady Hospital, and his inadvertent role in the death of Glenn. After Negan's murdering rampage, Daryl is captured, imprisoned and tortured by Negan and the Saviors. Negan's followers all declare their fidelity to Negan by saying "I am Negan." However, despite weeks of torture and deprivation, Daryl never fails to respond "I am Daryl," and eventually earns Negan's grudging respect. Daryl's other enemy during this time is Dwight. If ever anyone deserved to be killed by Daryl, it is Dwight, but Daryl gives Dwight a car to escape from Negan's circle of influence, with the only condition being that Dwight never return if he doesn't want to be killed. In Season 9, Daryl helps Michonne rescue Judith from a ruthless woman who has trained a group of children to kill. He and Michonne both are branded with the letter X on their backs.

After Sophia's death, Carol begins to form a great strength in her, becoming a very important component in the group and is able to do anything to keep the group intact. She begins to show a ruthless side that worries Rick, who exiles her while they are at the prison. However, Carol later earns her way back into Rick's inner circle. She promises Mika and Lizzie's dying father that she will take care of his daughters and does her best to keep this promise, even after discovering that Lizzie is insane and attempting to befriend walkers. Ultimately, Carol is forced to kill Lizzie after Lizzie kills her sister in an attempt to turn her into a walker playmate.
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 Alexandria and the war against Negan and the Saviors. She later marries Ezekiel and the two adopt Henry as their own son. When Carol discovers that Alpha murdered Henry, she is totally devastated and unable to sustain Ezekiel's fantasy of Carol as his "queen."

During the arrival at Alexandria, Maggie reveals that she is pregnant with Glenn. After the introduction of Paul Rovio, aka Jesus, Maggie is part of an advance group that visits Hilltop and attempts to form an alliance with their leader, Gregory. However, Gregory is arrogant, determined not to relinquish his position of power (or even to admit he can use help), and rebuffs Maggie disrespectfully. As the war with Negan and the Saviors intensifies, Gregory sees no choice but to join forces with Negan. Maggie by this time has made Hilltop her home. She has become a widow, with Glenn being bludgeoned to death by Negan. From that point, her dual focus is to safely deliver the baby and to avenge Glenn's death. She assumes a leadership role at Hilltop; Gregory hates her and continually tries to undermine her. Rick comes close to killing Negan in the final battle but chooses to honor Carl's memory by imprisoning Negan for life. Maggie protests this loudly. She and Daryl (who also suffered at Negan's hands) agree that Negan should not be allowed to live, but they wait and watch for a good opportunity. Meanwhile, Maggie is still attempting to lead Hilltop as best she can. One final betrayal by Gregory is one too many. Maggie decides to make an example of Gregory (and eliminate his trouble-making once and for all), by hanging him. She soon sees repeated attempts by the Saviors to sabotage and undermine Rick's work; she decides the time has come to kill Negan.

After helping the group clear out walkers that Andrew induced to invade the prison, Axel and Oscar are finally accepted into the group. Axel becomes close friends with Carol; as he amuses her with tales about his previous life, he is unexpectedly shot in the head by The Governor, in the opening volley of The Governor's attack on the prison.

Tomas first proves he is untrustworthy when he later tries, unsuccessfully, to renege on that deal. While clearing out walkers, Tomas violently kills Big Tiny after Tiny is injured by a walker, and Tomas shows no remorse. Tomas then makes two attempts on Rick's life, forcing Rick to kill him.
Woodbury survivors[]
Woodbury is a town in Georgia, of which a few streets have been walled off to keep the town operating. It is led by Philip Blake, who has adopted the nickname "The Governor" from the townspeople. Woodbury had a population of close to eighty people at the time of Andrea and Michonne's arrival, but due to various factors (such as the prison group's attack on the town and The Governor's slaughter of nearly his entire army), the population dwindles dramatically throughout the third season. Robert Kirkman later confirmed that any and all Woodbury characters, who were not brought to the prison are deceased. The remaining population of Woodbury at the Prison Community dwindles further throughout the fourth season as a result of the spreading of the flu. As of "Inmates", nearly every resident of Woodbury is confirmed to be deceased, as the bus is apparently overwhelmed and everyone on board becomes zombified (and later put down by Maggie Greene, Bob Stookey, and Sasha). It has been confirmed that any other Woodbury resident (except Jeanette) not seen dying either on the bus or at the prison is deceased nonetheless. Thus, the entire population of Woodbury is confirmed to be dead.

- Karen, portrayed by Melissa Ponzio,[50] is one of The Governor's enforcers tasked with protecting Woodbury's wall. She is seen trying to leave Woodbury when conditions worsen, and she becomes angry when Noah is forced to join Woodbury's army.

He reveals to Daryl that walkers killed his wife and children when the outbreak began.

Martinez assists in all of The Governor's attacks against the prison, although he is shocked when The Governor massacres his own army ("Welcome to the Tombs"). Because Martinez and Shumpert did not disobey him in that episode, The Governor spares them, and together, the three depart. In "Live Bait", which reveals what occurred to the trio after The Governor slaughtered the Woodbury army, Martinez puts down a walker, who approaches The Governor and seems to have fallen into in an indifferent stupor. The next morning, The Governor awakens to find Martinez and Shumpert have abandoned him to fend for himself. Martinez and The Governor reunite when Martinez finds him in the pit trap. As revealed in "Dead Weight", Martinez has established himself as the leader of his group, with seconds-in-commands Pete and Mitch Dolgen.

Shumpert participates in The Governor's attacks on the prison. When the second attack ends in failure, and the army decides not to return to the prison, The Governor guns down the Woodbury soldiers, sparing only his allies Shumpert and Martinez, although the two are visibly stunned by the slaughter. The three then drive off together. Shumpert and Martinez make camp with The Governor, then abandon him and form a group of their own. When The Governor joins Martinez's group, Martinez discloses to him that Shumpert had become depressed and reckless following the massacre, and was bitten by a walker, forcing Martinez to put him down.

- Eileen, portrayed by Meaghan Caddy, is a Woodbury resident, who is pregnant. She has her baby sometime before the events of "Welcome to the Tombs".
- Mr. Jacobson, portrayed by Randy Woods, is a Woodbury resident often seen around the town. Following the disbanding of Woodbury, he and the other remaining Woodbury residents are taken by Rick's group on a bus to the prison. About seven months afterward, an influenza outbreak sweeps through the prison community, and Mr. Jacobson becomes infected. He loses his battle with the flu and is put down in private by Glenn after reanimating (so as to not dishearten the other sick community residents in quarantine).
- Jeanette, portrayed by Sherry Richards, is a newcomer to the prison community, who was brought there along with the other remaining residents of Woodbury. Carol brings her with the other sick residents of the community to Cell Block A to be quarantined. Jeanette insists that she is not sick and her allergies are only acting up, but Carol does not believe her, and makes her enter anyway. She is probably treated when Daryl's group returns with medicine. Jeanette is among the prison inhabitants, who escape the prison on the bus when The Governor attacks the compound. As of "Too Far Gone", Jeanette is the only named Woodbury character, who is confirmed alive. Quite possibly Jeanette died on the bus after the attack walkers. However, when Maggie, Sasha and Bob come across the bus, Jeanette is not seen as a zombie or corpse.
- Milton Mamet, portrayed by Dallas Roberts,[52] is a scientist, who serves as one of The Governor's right-hand men. He knew Phillip Blake before Phillip became "The Governor", and thus had a long-term relationship with him. Although Milton has allied himself with The Governor, he seems to disagree with The Governor's violent and unethical methods. He studies the decapitated bodies of Michonne's pair of walkers and researches the possibility of appealing to Michael Coleman's humanity, after Coleman dies and reanimates. Milton later helps Andrea escape to go try to make peace with Rick, and accompanies The Governor to the peace meeting with Rick. He expresses misgivings about The Governor's methods when he learns The Governor plans to kill everyone at the prison except for Michonne. He later tells Andrea to escape and, it is implied, he burns the captured walkers The Governor planned to use against the prison group. The Governor realizes that Milton revealed his plan to Andrea, and this causes a rift in Milton and The Governor's relationship. When Milton challenges The Governor to give up the war and forego avenging Michonne's vanquishing of zombified Penny, The Governor restrains and badly beats Milton for his betrayal. He then tasks Milton to kill Andrea, but Milton instead attacks The Governor, who then stabs Milton, mortally wounding him. The Governor locks Milton in the torture chamber with Andrea, deciding to let the reanimated Milton eat her. However, Milton attempts to assist Andrea by planting a pair of pliers within her reach with which to free herself and stab the zombified Milton in the head. Andrea fails to free herself in time, and a zombified Milton bites her before she puts him down. Rick's group later finds his body with a bitten, but alive, Andrea.
- Ms. McLeod, portrayed by Lucie O'Ferrall, is an elderly Woodbury resident, who is too arthritic to join The Governor's army. She is seen getting off the bus at the prison and is not seen after "Welcome to the Tombs". Ms. McLeod is seen running down the stairs in "Infected". She is quarantined in death row and gets killed when the sick people start to reanimate as walkers.
- Rowan, portrayed by Lindsay Abernathy, is a Woodbury resident, who guides newcomers Andrea and Michonne around the town after they have recovered from being on the road, and she defends The Governor's enforcers when Andrea complains about seeing a walker "strung up like a Christmas ornament". Rowan is shown to have a sexual relationship with The Governor. She gets killed when Rick and Maggie attack Woodbury at the arena.
- Dr. Stevens, portrayed by Donzaleigh Abernathy, is Woodbury's physician. She cares for Andrea, Michonne, and Welles after The Governor has brought them in, for the Woodbury victims injured in the battle with Rick's group, and for The Governor after his fight with Michonne.
Prison newcomers[]
After the Governor executes most of the able-bodied Woodbury residents, who had been members of his army, only the children and elderly townspeople remain at Woodbury (under the watchful eye of Tyreese and Sasha). After Andrea's suicide due to being bitten, Rick and his group return to the prison with the remaining Woodbury survivors (including Tyreese, Sasha, Karen, Eryn, Jeanette, and Ms. McLeod), swelling the prison's population from the original ten to around 30. Six to seven months afterwards, numerous other survivors have joined the prison community, from various locations and backgrounds. Some of those people are Ryan Samuels, Mika Samuels, Patrick, Zach, Lizzie Samuels, Luke, Owen, Molly, Julio, and Charlie. The compound is initially peaceful and thriving, until a flu epidemic spreads throughout the community and infects numerous residents, killing many of those stricken. However, when the scouting group returns with medicine, the issue is resolved. Shortly afterwards, The Governor returns with a militia and executes the captive Hershel, igniting a firefight between the two groups. This battle leads to the fall of the prison community after The Governor tears down the fences. As a result of the flu and The Governor's assault, the numbers dwindle significantly. The escaping newcomers are found dead on the public transport bus for the prison, while five other newcomers remain alive. Lizzie and Mika are later killed, as well as Bob, and eventually Tyreese. Sasha is the last prison newcomer to hold out, but she eventually dies during the war between Alexandria, Hilltop, and the Kingdom against the Saviors, leaving no remaining prison newcomers.
- David, portrayed by Brandon Carroll, is a newcomer to the prison community, who Karen in "Infected" says is from "the Decatur group". In "30 Days Without an Accident", he is seen alongside Karen, killing walkers behind the prison fence. In "Infected", David falls ill during the flu outbreak at the prison and is quarantined along with others (such as Karen) in Cell Block A. The next morning, Tyreese discovers that at some point David and Karen were killed by an unknown individual and their bodies dragged out to the courtyard and burned. It is later revealed that it was Carol, who killed them in order to prevent the disease from spreading further and to put them out of their misery. Tyreese later buries David and Karen next to one another.
- Julio, portrayed by Santiago Cirlio, is a newcomer to the prison community and a mechanic. He falls ill and is placed in quarantine in Cell Block A. Twice he observes the chaos in Cell Block A as Hershel attempts to deal with it. He attempts to escape the prison on the bus, but he is killed right behind Glenn and Maggie, when The Governor's militia attacks the prison.
- Luke, portrayed by Luke Donaldson, is a young resident of the prison community and is seen attending Carol's storytime sessions (which are later revealed to be covert self-defense classes for the children). Daryl saves him from an advancing walker during the breach on Cell Block D. When The Governor attacks the prison, he escapes with the children and Tyreese. Beth and Daryl later discover bodies being eaten. They assume it is Luke and Molly's by seeing Luke's shoe next to the pile, though they could be alive.
- Molly, portrayed by Kennedy Brice, is a young survivor, who joins the prison community. She attends Carol's storytime session, which is a covert lesson on self-defense for the children. Karen saves Molly during the walker breach in Cell Block D. When The Governor attacks the prison, Molly escapes with the children and Tyreese. Beth and Daryl later discover two bodies being devoured by a group of walkers, assuming it is Luke and Molly's by seeing Luke's shoe, though they could be alive.
- Patrick, portrayed by Vincent Martella,[53] is a new arrival in the prison community. He is around Carl's age and is one of his close friends. Patrick asks to be excused during Carol's storytime session, on the grounds that he is suddenly not feeling well. He dies abruptly later that night and reanimates. A reanimated Patrick bites a sleeping survivor in his cell, which causes the latter to reanimate and ultimately brings about a full-scale attack on Cell Block D. Daryl puts Patrick down once the attack subsides. Patrick is responsible for the deaths of several people before he is put down. Patrick is determined to have died from an aggressive strain of influenza which soon begins to befall the rest of the prison.
- Lizzie Samuels, portrayed by Brighton Sharbino,[54] is Ryan's daughter and Mika's sister. She was first seen with other children naming zombies, and later at storytime. During the outbreak her father is bitten, and before dying he asks Carol to look after his daughters. Lizzie expresses intentions to stab his corpse in the head to prevent renanimation, but is emotionally unable to. Carol later tells her she is weak and needs to toughen up. Lizzie later gets the flu and is forced into quarantine. Carol is disturbed by Lizzie's apparently personal connection with walkers. When some infected residents succumb to the virus and reanimate, Lizzie rescues Glenn from a walker by leading it away. After being treated with medicine, she plays with Glenn's blood. When The Governor attacks the prison, she convinces the other children to help in the battle. She and Mika rescue Tyreese from two of The Governor's soldiers, after which she escapes with the children and Tyreese. Lizzie, Mika, Tyreese, and Judith get separated from Molly and Luke. Lizzie also is very sure Sasha is dead. She also shows a disliking towards Tyreese. After Lizzie kills Mika, Carol and Tyreese realize that she is too psychotic to be kept around & had to be executed in order for Judith to be safe, so Carol leads her out to the fields to look at the flowers, and as Lizzie tried to apologize for having threatened Carol and Tyreese, Carol executed her.
- Mika Samuels, portrayed by Kyla Kenedy,[55] is Ryan's daughter and Lizzie's sister. She is seen naming the walkers and later at storytime. She loses her father during the outbreak and tries to calm Lizzie when Lizzie panics after being unable to stab her bitten father's corpse in the head to prevent reanimation. She and Lizzie become the adoptive daughters of Carol Peletier, as per their father's last wish. When The Governor attacks the prison, Mika and Lizzie rescue Tyreese from two soldiers. She escapes with the children and Tyreese. It is revealed that Mika, Lizzie, Tyreese, and Judith have been separated from Luke and Molly. Mika appears to be saddened by this. Lizzie, believing she will come back, kills Mika, and planned to kill Judith until Tyreese and Carol intervened.
- Ryan Samuels, portrayed by Victor McCay, is a newcomer to the prison community. He is present with his daughters Lizzie and Mika, and is seen in the library when Carol is conducting storytime with the children. During the outbreak in "Infected", a walker bites him. Carol tries to amputate his arm, but realizes he is bitten in other, inoperable areas, too. Before he dies, Ryan asks Carol to take care of his daughters. When Lizzie is emotionally unable to carry out her desire to be the one to stab Ryan's corpse in the head to prevent reanimation, Carol puts him down.
- Dr. Caleb Subramanian, portrayed by Sunkrish Bala,[56] is a newcomer to the prison community. Not much is known about him, besides the fact that he is a physician, and he and Hershel seem to be friends. After the breach on Cell Block D dies down, Dr. Subramanian assesses what may have caused the outbreak and what steps the group should take to prevent another such disaster. "Dr. S" later comes down with the flu and tells Sasha they have to warn the healthy members of the prison community that the virus is spreading. His condition seriously and quickly deteriorates, although he reveals that he has brought several guns in case of another outbreak. He later succumbs to the sickness after Hershel gives him a checkup. Dr. S later reanimates, and Hershel remorsefully puts him down through Dr. S' locked cell door, after snapping the walker's arm. Hershel later returns to Dr. S' cell and mourns his friend.
- Zach, portrayed by Kyle Gallner,[57] is a member of a surviving group of college students, who join the prison community. He then begins a relationship with Beth. Zach accompanies Daryl, Michonne, Glenn, Tyreese, Sasha, and Bob on a supply run, where he is ultimately killed by a pair of walkers. Beth reacts calmly to the news of Zach's death, much to Daryl's surprise. Later, Daryl uses Zach's high-powered car to take himself, Bob, Michonne, and Tyreese on a run to a veterinary college to get medicine that might save the flu-stricken prison group members.
Chambler Family[]
After wandering on his own for six to seven months alone, following the fall of Woodbury and the defections of Martinez and Shumpert, The Governor encounters the Chambler Family holed up in their apartment building. The surviving Chamblers later set off with The Governor (who has said his name is "Brian Hariot") to seek shelter elsewhere following the death of David, but The Governor's actions lead to Lilly and Meghan's deaths.
- David Chambler, portrayed by Danny Vinson, is Lilly and Tara's father and Meghan's grandfather. He and Meghan frequently play board games with each other so that Meghan can be preoccupied and distracted from the frightening world around her. David has stage-4 lung cancer and is rapidly approaching his moment of death. Knowing this, Lilly sends The Governor ("Brian") to a nearby assisted living facility to obtain oxygen tanks to help keep David alive for as long as possible, even if for just a few more hours. Early the next day, David succumbs to his cancer and dies. After he has lain lifeless in bed for several hours, his family and "Brian" enter his bedroom to say goodbye to him. David then suddenly reanimates and grabs Tara. He almost bites her, but "Brian" smashes David's head several times with one of his oxygen tanks, until he finally succumbs. The family is disoriented by this incident, but each of them later recovers. Later, "Brian" and Lilly bury David in a small field behind the apartment complex, and the four of them depart in search of other shelter.
- Lilly Chambler, portrayed by Audrey Marie Anderson,[58] is David's daughter, Meghan's mother, and Tara's sister. She is initially somewhat hostile towards The Governor ("Brian") and reluctantly allows him to take refuge in her family's building. She slowly comes to trust him, especially after he risks going to a walker-overrun assisted living facility to retrieve oxygen tanks for David, who is suffering from stage-4 lung cancer and will soon die (which she knows will be especially devastating to Meghan). When "Brian" kills the reanimated David, Lilly appears to be upset for a brief while, but soon comes to terms with what happened. After David's burial, the four of them depart in search of other shelter. They spend the night sleeping in a catering truck, and Lilly and "Brian" lay awake talking to each other. Slowly, they then begin to have sex. When the truck fails to start, the group abandons it and wanders on the road, until a swarm of walkers forces them to flee. They arrive at an open field, only to be stopped once again, when "Brian" and Meghan fall into a pitfall trap containing several walkers, all of which "Brian" kills before they can do any harm. Lilly and her family join Martinez's group. She is initially against The Governor's attacking the prison, but he assures her that she and Meghan will be safe. She and her daughter are left near a river; however, Meghan is bitten by a walker and dies. Lilly brings Meghan's corpse to the prison, where she witnesses The Governor decapitate Hershel and shoot Meghan in the head. After the battle ends, a bitter Lilly walks up to the dying Governor and shoots him in the head. Tara later mentions to Glenn that she witnessed Lilly become overwhelmed by walkers following the assault on the prison. She was eaten by walkers
- Meghan Chambler, portrayed by Meyrick Murphy, is the young daughter of Lilly, the niece of Tara, and the granddaughter of David. She frequently plays board games with David in order to escape what is happening around her. She and The Governor ("Brian") bond while playing chess, and she asks about his eye patch. (Albeit somewhat vaguely) "Brian" tells Meghan the story of how he had tried to protect Penny, but was ultimately unable to save her. The close bond between Meghan and "Brian" is briefly broken after "Brian" kills the undead David, who had died hours before of stage-4 lung cancer. She, Lilly, Tara, and "Brian" leave the apartment after David's burial, and Meghan continues to isolate herself from "Brian". However, her trust in him is regained after he saves her from a swarm of walkers that forces the group to flee. While running with Meghan in his arms, "Brian" falls into a pitfall trap full of walkers. "Brian" successfully kills all of them, while Meghan cowers in a corner, holding her doll, and "Brian" promises Meghan that he will never let anything happen to her. She is bitten by a walker in "Too Far Gone" and dies, after which The Governor shoots her in the head.
Martinez's group[]
Martinez camp is made up of several survivors with heavy artillery some veterans soldiers, other former members of the national guard in majority are civilians with self-taught militia who try to survive at all costs but the arrival of the Governor brainwashed giving notice that the place is not safe in order to attack Rick's group to take the prison community.
- Alisha, portrayed by Juliana Harkavy, is a former Army Reserve member, who is recruited by Martinez's group sometime in the six- to seven-month timespan between seasons three and four. She strikes up a friendship with Tara, which quickly becomes a full-on romantic relationship. The two remain inseparable once they begin dating; Alisha even flees with Tara, her family, and The Governor after The Governor's insistence that he and the Chamblers leave the camp. However, after encountering a roadblock consisting of walkers stuck waist-deep in mud, The Governor returns the group to Martinez's camp. Alisha participates in "Brian's" attack on the prison ("Too Far Gone"), but is later shot between the eyes by Lizzie Samuels. Her death, along with Lilly's and Meghan's, sends Tara into a state of depression for a long time.
- Mitch Dolgen, portrayed by Kirk Acevedo, is a member of Martinez's group, who with his brother Pete is second in command after Martinez. Mitch, like his brother, was in the army when the walker outbreak occurred; Mitch was a tank specialist, who said he left the army base in his tank. In "Dead Weight", while on a supply run with Pete and The Governor (then known as "Brian"), Mitch wants to raid another camp they encounter, but his brother disagrees. After "Brian" kills Martinez and Pete, he enters Mitch's trailer at gunpoint, advises that he killed Pete and explains why, and convinces Mitch to follow his lead which Mitch, though resentful of "Brian" killing his brother, sees his point and accepts. Mitch participates in "Brian's" attack on the prison ("Too Far Gone"), operating a tank and destroying much of the prison. Daryl is able to reach the tank and drops a grenade down the barrel of the tank's main gun, forcing Mitch to escape before the grenade blows up the tank. Mitch turns around, exhausted and defeated, and Daryl shoots and kills him with his crossbow.
- Pete Dolgen, portrayed by Enver Gjokaj, is Mitch's brother and a member of Martinez's group. After Martinez's death at the hands of The Governor (now known as "Brian"), Pete steps up as the group's de facto leader (which causes unrest amongst many members of the camp). While on a supply run with Mitch and "Brian", Pete thwarts Mitch's desire to raid a camp they encounter in the woods, as Pete is unwilling to rob the group and prefers to find supplies another way. Unwilling to follow a leader, who is unwilling to do whatever's necessary for the group to "survive", "Brian" murders Pete by stabbing him in Pete's trailer. He then dumps the body in the nearby lake. Brian later returns to find Pete's undead body submerged and anchored at the bottom of the lake.
The Claimers[]
A dangerous group of heavily armed men, who raid homes searching for supplies and weapons. The group first appeared in "Claimed".
- Billy, portrayed by Eric Mendenhall, is a member of the Claimers, he is killed by Daryl during their fight with Rick's group.
- Dan, portrayed by Keith Brooks, is a member of the Claimers whom, during the assault on Rick's group, grabs Carl with the intention of raping him. He is the last-surviving Claimer, and following the killing of the rest of the Claimers, he is stabbed to death by Rick in retribution for his attempted rape of Carl.
- Harley, portrayed by J. D. Evermore, is a member of the Claimers, who is shot dead by Michonne after the deaths of Joe and Tony.
- Joe, portrayed by Jeff Kober,[59] is the leader of the Claimers, first seen by Rick on the porch of the house that they were raiding in "Claimed". He later appears in "Alone", when his group finds Daryl exhausted on the road after he is separated from Beth. Despite a close encounter with Daryl punching Joe and almost shooting him, Joe is impressed by Daryl's use of a crossbow and decides to recruit him. Joe's group eventually catches Rick, Michonne and Carl, with the intent to avenge Lou's death. During the ensuing fight, Rick kills Joe by ripping his jugular out with his teeth.
- Len, portrayed by Marcus Hester, first appears when the Claimers raids a large house where Rick is hiding. Rick is forced to hide under the bed he was sleeping on. Another member of the group, Tony, chooses to sleep on the bed, leaving Rick trapped. Len enters the room and wakes up Tony. He demands that he be given the bed, but when Tony refuses and says it is claimed, Len knocks him out of the bed and strangles him into unconsciousness before taking the bed for himself. After framing Daryl for stealing his half of a rabbit, leading the group to question his honesty, Len is severely beaten before being killed by an unspecified member of the group. His bloodied corpse, with an arrow in his forehead, is discovered outside by Daryl as they leave the warehouse they had spent the night in.
- Lou, portrayed by Scott Dale, is a slightly overweight member of the Claimers, who is discovered in the bathroom by Rick after he escapes from hiding under the bed. In order to stay hidden and undetected by the other members of the group, Rick quickly fights Lou and begins strangling him. Although Lou attempts to grab a pair of scissors on the nearby counter to stab Rick with, Rick ultimately strangles him to death before escaping out the window. Shortly afterward, Lou's reanimation provides a distraction for Joe and the other members as Rick escapes and regroups with Carl and Michonne, who were just outside the house. Lou's death is the primary reason that Joe and his group are actively pursuing Rick, tracking him along the train tracks to Terminus.
- Tony, portrayed by Davi Jay, is the member of the Claimers that is responsible for Rick becoming trapped, when he takes a nap on the bed that Rick is hiding under. When Len comes into the room and tries to take the bed, Tony says that it is claimed, prompting Len to knock him to the floor. While he is being strangled into unconsciousness, he sees Rick under the bed, but is unable to warn Len before he passes out. During the fight between Joe's group and Rick's group, Tony is shot dead by Michonne after being distracted by Rick killing Joe.
Terminus[]
Terminus is a sanctuary that is first mentioned in the second half of the fourth season over a radio broadcast heard by Daryl, Bob, Michonne, and Tyreese while driving in Zach's car. After the fall of the prison, the small factions of prison residents, who survive the assault find the signs directing survivors towards Terminus, and each group slowly begins to make its way there. 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. After Terminus is destroyed by Carol's siege in "No Sanctuary", only six residents of survive and escape, becoming known as The Hunters.
- Alex, portrayed by Tate Ellington, is the brother of Gareth and shows Rick's group around Terminus. He is held hostage after Rick becomes suspicious about the clothes the residents are wearing. He tries to reason with Rick and the others to let him go, but is accidentally shot shortly after by Mary as she tried to kill Rick.
- Mary, portrayed by Denise Crosby, is the mother of Gareth and Alex, who greets Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, Bob, Tara, Abraham, Eugene and Rosita when they arrive at Terminus. After Carol attacks Terminus to rescue Rick's group, she encounters Mary. Carol holds Mary at gunpoint, demanding to know where the group is holding Rick and the others. Mary explains that Terminus originally was a sanctuary, but it became a place where they would lure people to take their possessions and ultimately, eat them. Carol shoots her in the leg and allows a group of walkers to devour the crippled Mary. In "Coda", Father Stokes discovers Mary's Bible at the Hunters' campsite outside the elementary school, with the inscription "Mary B". on the first page.
The Hunters[]
After Carol destroys Terminus, their leader, Gareth, began to harass the group Rick to find them, in order to take revenge.
- Albert, portrayed by Benjamin Papac, is one of the Hunters, who is killed in the church when he and Mike are immediately shot through the head.
- Martin, portrayed by Chris Coy, is one of the few survivors of Terminus after it is destroyed by Carol's siege. He is first discovered by Carol and Tyreese while he is alone on a scouting mission, and they overhear him talking on the radio about the hostages that Terminus has just taken. When they realize that he has kidnapped Michonne and Carl, they take him hostage in a small, abandoned cabin. While Carol leaves to attack Terminus, Tyreese stays with Judith to watch over a restrained Martin. During his captivity, Martin continues to lecture Tyreese about how the idea of "good vs. evil" means nothing in this world, and that if people like Tyreese try to be nice, they will not survive. Later, as the cabin is overrun by walkers and Tyreese is keeping watch, Martin breaks free and grabs Judith, ordering Tyreese outside. However, Tyreese overpowers the walkers, breaks back inside, and knocks Martin unconscious, refusing to kill him. Martin then reappears with Gareth and 4 other Terminus survivors after they kidnap Bob, and then sneak into the church to kill the members of Rick's group. When Rick and the others ambush them, Martin is the last to drop his weapon after Gareth orders him to surrender. Martin is then stabbed to death by Sasha when Gareth and the others are slaughtered by Rick's group. Later, when Tyreese is dying of a walker bite, Martin is the first person to appear to Tyreese as a hallucination, where he mockingly tells Tyreese that he will die because he still tried to be a "good guy", and that many of the recent failures were because of his refusal to kill Martin.
- Mike, portrayed by Chris Burns, is one of the Hunters, who is killed in the church when he and Albert are immediately shot through the head.
- Theresa, portrayed by April Billingsley, is one of the Hunters, who is killed in their attempted siege on the church when Michonne bashes her skull in with the butt of her rifle.
- Greg, portrayed by Travis Young, is one of the Hunters, who is killed in the church when Abraham bludgeons him to death with the butt of his rifle.
Grady Memorial Hospital[]
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. The hospital is run under a strict authoritarian regime by a group of corrupt police officers.
- Dr. Steven Edwards, portrayed by Erik Jensen,[60] is the hospital's sole doctor, who has a polite, but nervous demeanor to him. He noticeably disapproves of the harsh methods by which Officers Lerner and Gorman run the hospital, but despite his objections, his position is valued by the officers as the only medical professional on hand. He initially cares for Beth as she recovers and does his best to protect her from the officers, saying that he refuses to leave because, as ruthless as the officers are, it is still better inside the hospital than out in the real world. However, Beth grows suspicious of him when he tells her to give the drug Clozapine to Gavin Trevitt, a patient, who is also a doctor, as the drug ends up killing him. Although Dr. Edwards insists that he actually said Clonazepam, Beth is certain that he told her the name of the wrong drug on purpose. She accuses him of having the other doctor poisoned in order to retain his valued status as the only doctor, which he denies. He later helps Beth save Carol's life by telling her which medication she will need to give Carol. After the deaths of Beth and Lerner, Edwards offers to let Rick's group stay at the hospital, but Rick refuses.
- Officer Gorman, portrayed by Cullen Moss, is Officer Lerner's second-in-command, and one of the officers, who saved Beth. Although he appears to have a more polite demeanor during his initial introduction, Beth quickly discovers that his idea of being repaid for his services is sexual relations with the female patients, as he has already apparently raped Joan. He makes similar advances towards Beth, finally catching her alone in Lerner's office where, unbeknownst to him, Joan has committed suicide and is about to turn. There, he finally begins to force himself on Beth, attempting to blackmail her with her attempt to steal a key from Lerner's office, and just as he moves in, Beth hits him in the back of the head with a glass bottle. When he falls to the floor, the reanimated Joan instantly crawls onto him and kills him by biting his neck while Beth escapes.
- Joan, portrayed by Keisha Castle-Hughes, is female patient, who attempts to escape the hospital, only to be bitten in the arm by a walker. When she is brought back inside by Officer Lerner, Lerner demands that Dr. Edwards save her by amputating her arm with a metal wire. Joan refuses to be rescued and demands that they let her die, but Lerner, with Beth's reluctant help, manages to restrain her long enough for Dr. Edwards to amputate the arm. Later, while Beth is cleaning Joan's room, Joan tells her more about the dark secrets behind the leadership of the hospital, including Officer Gorman's treatment of female patients. Later, as Beth breaks into Lerner's office to find the key to the elevator shaft, she discovers that Joan has also already broken in and committed suicide by reopening the amputation wound. Beth uses Joan's death to her advantage by allowing the reanimated Joan to kill Officer Gorman.
- Sergeant Bob Lamson, portrayed by Maximiliano Hernández, is one of the two officers, who is captured by Noah's trap, along with Officer Shepherd. He comes forward and tries to convince Rick and the group that he is the best one to talk to Officer Lerner when they make the hostage exchange, saying he has known her for eight years. Later, as they prepare to leave for the exchange, he reveals that his name is Bob, noticeably startling Sasha, who was left to watch him. While alone with her, he explains how he is alive because another officer was sent out to respond to a call that he should have taken, and that officer is now a walker in the parking lot. Sasha offers to put the walker down for him in order to alleviate his guilt, but just as she prepares to take the shot, Lamson knocks her unconscious and flees the building. However, he does not get far before Rick runs him down in a police car and shoots him in the head.
- Officer Dawn Lerner, portrayed by Christine Woods,[61] is the strict leader of the hospital, enforcing the rules with her group of fellow officers (who are the only occupants of the hospital to possess weapons). She believes that everyone must contribute to "the greater good" and keep the hospital operation running long enough for the military to come save them, and often uses this mentality as a form of guilt in order to persuade those that they capture into doing work for the hospital once they recover. Though she is aware of Gorman's treatment of female patients, she does little to stop it. Lerner also treats the patients cruelly herself, repeatedly taking out her anger on Beth by striking her for the slightest mistakes or misunderstandings. Despite Beth's attempts to convince her that help will never come, Lerner refuses to believe it and insists that things will get better eventually, and it is far better to live under her rule than in the wilderness outside. Though she is furious at Beth for (as Lerner believes) killing Gorman and Joan as well as aiding Noah in his escape, she still refuses to kill or exile Beth, as she needs the extra help around the hospital. Though she tries to develop a bond with Beth, Beth is ultimately convinced that Lerner will never change, and her vision of a better future clouds her reasonable judgment. In the prisoner exchange at the end of "Coda", when Beth stabs Lerner in the shoulder with a pair of scissors, Lerner reacts impulsively in a moment of shock and her gun discharges, firing a single bullet directly through Beth's head and killing her instantly. Although Lerner pleads for mercy, Daryl shoots her directly in the forehead immediately afterward.
- Officer Licari, portrayed by Christopher Matthew Cook, is one of the police officers working at the hospital under Officer Lerner. When Officers Lamson and Shepherd are tricked by Rick's group, Licari arrives in his car and saves them, providing cover when Rick's group opens fire. They drive away and seemingly escape, but the car gets stuck on several walker corpses in the street, and the three officers flee. Licari reemerges when Daryl inspects a nearby trailer, and after a brief fist fight, Rick appears and holds him at gunpoint, taking him hostage as well. Licari and Shepherd are eventually returned to the hospital, and continue to live there after Lerner's death.
- Noah, portrayed by Tyler James Williams[62] is a young male patient at the hospital, who often works as a janitor. He tells Beth that both he and his father were discovered by the group while the two of them were being surround by walkers, and their rescuers said that they could only save one of them. For this reason alone, Noah displays strong distaste for the officers almost immediately, saying that with their weapons and manpower, they likely could have saved his father as well. When Beth accidentally kills Dr. Gavin Trevitt by giving him the wrong medication, Noah takes the blame by saying that while he was cleaning, he knocked over a ventilation system and caused Trevitt to flatline.
