He is often described as an everyman -- 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 ca n't protect themselves may pull him away from his family, causing tension within his marriage with Lori and his relationship with his son, Carl. Acting as a sheriff 's deputy, Rick was shot in the line of duty shortly before the events of the apocalypse began. He finds himself waking up from a coma to a deserted hospital, unbelievable carnage, and his family home deserted. He eventually makes his way to Atlanta and then to the survivors ' camp where his family is taking shelter, and quickly becomes the leader of those survivors. In his quest to lead them to safety, his son Carl is shot in a hunting accident, which brings the group to the Greene farm. While he is still optimistic about the general goodwill of other survivors when the group arrives at the farm, he is shaken by the circumstances which force them to leave, becoming a much darker, warier version of himself. Focused on protecting his family, he leads the group to the prison and clears it for occupation. While there are threats and incidents at the prison, including the death of Rick 's wife Lori and the delusions Rick 's grief causes, Rick and his group transform it into a relatively safe and productive community until they are forced out permanently by the Governor and his forces. Rick subsequently travels with Carl, not knowing if the other survivors, including his daughter Judith, are alive or dead. After almost being killed for meat by the cannibalistic inhabitants of Terminus, Rick 's group is reunited and begins to travel toward Washington, D.C. Rick and his group are on the verge of starvation when they are invited to join the Alexandria Safe Zone, and Rick becomes the leader there following the death of Deanna Monroe. Just as he has begun to regain hope for a future for his friends and children, he and the Alexandrians are thrown into a lethal conflict with the Saviors. After losing two of his closest allies, Rick is at his lowest, but eventually accepts his responsibility to work with his new allies and make a plan to bring down the Saviors. Shane Walsh Further information : Shane Walsh ( The Walking Dead ) Jon Bernthal Shane Walsh, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, 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. Until Rick 's arrival, Shane led the group of Atlanta survivors. Shane harbors feelings for Lori, and after the start of the apocalypse, when Lori believes Rick is dead, Shane starts a sexual relationship with her. When Rick finds them, Shane relinquishes the leadership position to Rick, while trying to hide his resentment towards Rick and his relationship with Lori. During season two, Shane gradually becomes more unhinged and shows bouts of irrational violence and bloodlust after allowing another survivor to die in an act of self - preservation. Shane eventually lures Rick away from the group to kill him, but Rick kills him first. Shane 's reanimation after being stabbed was the first concrete indication to the survivors that it did n't matter how someone died : they would still come back as a walker. While Rick claims Lori 's baby as his daughter, it is strongly implied that Judith is Shane 's biological child. Lori Grimes Further information : Lori Grimes Sarah Wayne Callies Lori Grimes, portrayed by Sarah Wayne Callies, is Rick 's wife, and Carl and Judith 's mother. Believing Rick to be dead, she begins a relationship with Shane, but is loyal to Rick once he returns, and she pushes Shane away from her and Carl, of whom she is fiercely protective. In the second season, she discovers she is pregnant, but is unsure who the father is. She attempts to comfort Shane so he will feel accepted in their group, but she is cautious about his reckless actions, and ultimately warns Rick that Shane is dangerous. At the same time, she is disturbed by her husband 's gradual change in this more savage environment, and is shocked after learning he killed Shane. From their escape from the farm till their endeavor to take up residence at the 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. Carl Grimes Further information : Carl Grimes Chandler Riggs Carl Grimes, portrayed by Chandler Riggs, is the son of Rick and Lori, and Judith 's older brother. Confronted with the harsh realities of his new world, he quickly learns to defend himself and even rescues Rick from a reanimated Shane. In the prison, when his mother dies during childbirth, he shoots her in the head to prevent her from turning. The ease with which he shoots a member of The Governor 's militia troubles Rick, leading him to give up his authority over the group and teaching Carl to farm, renouncing violence. When The Governor attacks for the final time, he and Carl are separated from the rest of the group. With Rick severely injured and unconscious, Carl reveals his anger towards his father for failing to protect the group and his mother. He raids neighboring houses for supplies, but is nearly overcome by a walker. He returns to the house and reveals he still depends on his father, and ca n't bear to bring himself to shoot Rick if he does turn. Rick eventually recovers and they are reunited with Michonne, but are driven from the house by the Claimers. They later meet the Claimers again on the road, where one of the members nearly rapes Carl. After overcoming them with Daryl 's help, they travel to Terminus and are captured. After the band of survivors reunites at Terminus, Carl devotes himself to caring for Judith. When he arrives at Alexandria, he is initially awkward with the other teenagers, but befriends Enid, a girl who was outside for a long time also, they spend time together in the woods running from walkers. During the attack of the zombies on Alexandria, Carl gets shot in his right eye by a stray bullet shot by Ron. Carl is saved by Denise, but loses his eye and faces a long recovery, during which he grows darker and more fierce. Negan calls him a future `` serial killer '' in the season six finale, which could imply how seriously dangerous Carl may become. Carl, along with Glenn, Rosita, Daryl, Michonne, Abraham, Maggie, Rick, Sasha, Eugene and Aaron, are forced to kneel before Negan. In the season seven premiere, Negan begins to force Rick to cut Carl 's arm off, but changes his mind once he sees Rick is broken. Carl later sneaks into the Sanctuary against his father 's orders to try to kill Negan. While this proves unsuccessful, it does lead Negan to take an unlikely interest in Carl. Carl continues to work in and around Alexandria to try to defeat the Saviors, but begins to believe that Rick is wrong to want to completely destroy them, and wants to go back to welcoming other survivors and working together toward a better future. It is revealed in the season eight midseason finale that is trying to help a stranger named Siddiq and bring to Alexandria Safe - Zone, Carl has been bitten on the stomach by a walker. He dies by shooting himself after. Morgan Jones Further information : Morgan Jones ( The Walking Dead ) Lennie James Morgan Jones, portrayed by Lennie James, is a survivor staying in Rick Grimes ' hometown with his son, Duane. Initially, he suffers from the loss of his wife Jenny at the start of the apocalypse, unwilling to move on while her reanimated body roamed the town. He helps Rick recover after he wakes from his coma, and promises to contact him over radio as Rick continued towards Atlanta. Later, Morgan could not take action to prevent walker Jenny from biting Duane, and he becomes obsessed with clearing walkers from the town. Rick meets him again while scavenging for supplies, and asks him to join them, but Morgan refuses. After he accidentally burned down his home in a fit, Morgan takes to following Rick and eventually encounters a former prison psychologist named Eastman, who helps Morgan find inner peace through the use of aikido. This not only gives Morgan a new mode of self - defense, but also imparts a new dedication to respecting the value of human life. Morgan follows Rick 's group from Terminus to Alexandria, where he finds their violent ways, particularly of Carol 's, distressing and tries to help show them a better way to deal with the humans that want to harm them. After being asked to locate a missing Carol and becoming a part of the Kingdom, Morgan finally comes to the realization that you have to kill sometimes, and kills Richard in a rage. 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 Dale Horvath Further information : Dale Horvath Jeffrey DeMunn Dale Horvath, portrayed by Jeffrey DeMunn, 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 killed by a walker, who was accidentally lured by Carl earlier that day. Dale 's death causes the group to reevaluate their unity and allow Randall to live. Glenn Rhee Further information : Glenn Rhee Steven Yeun Glenn Rhee, portrayed by Steven Yeun, is a former pizza delivery boy from Atlanta. He is keenly aware of the extreme danger of his missions on behalf of the group, but because of his loyalty to the group he is willing to take the risks. His knowledge of every shortcut in Atlanta proves extremely useful, and he is an excellent scavenger. Glenn thinks well on his feet and shows great compassion and humanity. He develops a passionate relationship with Maggie while living on the Greene farm and later marries her while they are living in the prison. He becomes more confident and displays more courage and ingenuity, as well as leadership qualities later. After being infected with the illness spreading in the prison, he recovers through Hershel and Bob 's care. When The Governor attacks the prison, he is unable to find Maggie and goes on a search for her with Tara Chambler. The two encounter Abraham Ford, Eugene Porter and Rosita Espinosa, who plan to bring Eugene to Washington, D.C. to find a cure for the apocalypse. After reuniting with his wife, they journey on their mission to D.C., although Eugene eventually reveals he was a fraud hoping for protection. After his half - sister - in - law, Beth 's death, he moves forward with plans to find a safe haven for the group and continues to comfort Maggie in her loss. Glenn continues to be the voice of reason after Beth 's death, and moral support for the group. When they arrive at Alexandria, he is assigned to be one of the runners, and he and fellow runner Nicholas become rivals. After Nicholas causes the death of one of the other runners, their feud eventually culminates in Nicholas trying to shoot Glenn, and the two of them getting in a fight. Glenn is unable to kill Nicholas, and the two form a fragile peace. Glenn is seemingly killed when Nicholas commits suicide and the two fall into a hoard of walkers, but he was able to use Nicholas 's body as a shield and escape under a nearby dumpster. When he arrives back home, he learns that Maggie is expecting their first child. Glenn is part of the raid on the Savior outpost and is forced to kill his first living human, which he finds very difficult. 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. Andrea Further information : Andrea ( The Walking Dead ) Laurie Holden Andrea, portrayed by Laurie Holden, 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 gained 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 a dying 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. Merle Dixon Further information : Merle Dixon Michael Rooker Merle Dixon, portrayed by Michael Rooker, is Daryl Dixon 's older brother. A racist and misogynist, Merle grew up in an abusive household. His first meeting with Rick quickly escalates to conflict and Merle is subdued and handcuffed to a pipe, but the keys are lost. The group has to leave him there, but Rick leads a rescue party only to find that Merle has cut himself free and disappeared. Merle returns in `` Walk with Me, '' alive, one - handed, and residing at Woodbury, a thriving settlement run by the malicious Governor, where Merle serves as his lieutenant and enforcer. He escapes Woodbury with Daryl, but struggles to integrate into the prison. He attempts to secure peace with The Governor by kidnapping Michonne, but relents and lets her go before returning to Woodbury and luring a pack of zombies to attack in an attempt to assassinate The Governor. He fails and is killed and left to reanimate. He is later discovered by Daryl, who kills him. Carol Peletier Further information : Carol Peletier Melissa McBride Carol Peletier, portrayed by Melissa McBride, is Sophia 's protective mother and Ed 's abused wife. Before the outbreak, she was a meek housewife, and in the beginning of the apocalypse she often depended on others for survival and appeared weak, despite showing compassion and kindness to others, particularly Daryl, and putting the good of the group ahead of her own needs. After Sophia 's death, Carol gradually undergoes a transformation from a former victim of domestic abuse to a hardened and pragmatic warrior. She manages to survive under difficult circumstances, and soon begins sharing her survival tactics with others. Her story time program at the prison is revealed as a cover for teaching a group of young children self - defense and a weapons training course. When the father of two children, Lizzie and Mika, dies following a walker attack, she becomes their adoptive mother by the father 's wishes. Carol begins taking bold risks in order to survive, especially during the epidemic that breaks out, killing the severely ill Karen and David mercifully to prevent any others from dying. After Tyreese 's devastated reaction at losing Karen, Rick banishes Carol from the prison with a car and some supplies. When she sees smoke from the prison 's destruction, she heads back and encounters Tyreese traveling with Lizzie, Mika, and Rick and Lori 's infant daughter Judith. Carol is further hardened when she is forced to kill Lizzie, who has murdered her sister Mika to convince Carol and Tyreese that turning into a walker is just a change, not death. Carol eventually confesses Tyreese that she was responsible for Karen and David 's deaths and Tyreese forgives her. With Judith, the two move towards Terminus only to discover its true nature. Carol successfully destroys Terminus and saves her friends. Rick asks her to rejoin the group and she accepts. She joins Daryl on a rescue mission for Beth in Atlanta, but Beth is killed, leaving Carol devastated. Carol arrives with the group at Alexandria and pretends to be a weak housewife so that the Alexandrians underestimate her, particularly so that she can steal guns from the armory. Young Sam Anderson takes a liking to her despite her efforts to get rid of him, and their odd friendship is what brings to light the abuse Sam, his mother, and his brother face at the hands of his father. Carol believes that the Alexandrians are weak and that they may need to take the settlement for themselves, but after reflecting on her views with Morgan, Carol realizes she had killed about twenty - five people since the beginning of the apocalypse and becomes distraught. She leaves Alexandria and, along with Morgan, discovers the Kingdom. At the Kingdom she is able to receive medical treatment from multiple gunshot wounds. After learning of the deaths of Glenn and Abraham, Carol joins the fight against the Saviors. Daryl Dixon Further information : Daryl Dixon Norman Reedus Daryl Dixon, portrayed by Norman Reedus, is Merle 's younger brother. A Southern redneck with a tough background, Daryl is a survivalist and member of the Atlanta band, who quickly becomes one of Rick 's closest confidantes and a leader within the group, a role he is not entirely comfortable with. He develops a close relationship with Carol Peletier in the second season after spending a large amount of time searching for her missing daughter Sophia. Following Shane 's death, Daryl becomes Rick 's right - hand man. After the fall of the prison, he escapes with Beth, who is later kidnapped while he fights off a group of walkers. He joins a nomadic group ( the Claimers ) before turning on them to save Rick, Carl, and Michonne. In season five, he goes with Carol to Atlanta in an attempt to rescue Beth, but is forced to return with Noah when Carol is also taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. He returns with the group to break Beth and Carol out and is clearly devastated at Beth 's death. He becomes more distant. Once the group arrives at Alexandria, Daryl has a hard time acclimating but befriends recruiter Aaron and eventually becomes a recruiter himself. Daryl and Aaron later discover Morgan in the woods and bring him to Alexandria. After an enormous herd of walkers is discovered near Alexandria, Daryl 's role is to drive them away along with Sasha and Abraham. Daryl is driven away from Sasha and Abraham and has a small encounter with three strangers ; Dwight, Sherry, and Tina. He is captured by them, who believe him to be a Savior. After Tina is killed, Dwight and Sherry steal Daryl 's crossbow and motorcycle. Daryl is later found attempting to rescue Glenn and Michonne, who have been captured by Saviors. He is caught by Dwight, and shot near the shoulder. Daryl, along with Glenn, Rosita, Michonne, Abraham, Maggie, Rick, Sasha, Carl, Aaron, and Eugene are forced to kneel before Negan. Daryl is one of the members of the group forced to kneel for Negan during his infamous `` Eeny, meeny, miny, moe '' speech. After the death of Abraham at Negans hands, Daryl becomes outraged when Negan forces a terrified Rosita to look at the remains of Abraham on his bat, Lucille. Daryl lashes out at Negan in retaliation and punches him. Much to Daryl 's horror, this causes Negan to further punish the group, responding to this outburst by killing Glenn. Negan takes Daryl back to the Sanctuary as prisoner, where he is tortured physically and psychologically in attempts to convince Daryl to join the Saviors. In `` Hearts Still Beating, '' Sherry helps Daryl escape from the Sanctuary. He is hidden among the allied groups to avoid being caught, and is an integral part of the All Out War against the Saviors. Maggie Greene Further information : Maggie Greene Lauren Cohan Maggie Greene, portrayed by Lauren Cohan, is Hershel 's daughter and Beth 's elder half - sister. A tomboy at heart, she scavenges supplies from the local town. She develops strong feelings for Glenn, impressed by his bravery and loyalty to the group. After the fall of the farm, she settles 8 months later at the prison with the rest of the group. She and Glenn are later captured and interrogated by Merle and The Governor, who forces her to undress and threatens her with rape to intimidate Glenn into giving up information. After a rescue mission, she continues to be proactive in defending the prison during The Governor 's attacks, killing several snipers and soldiers to protect the prison survivors. She soon marries Glenn. When Glenn is infected by the deadly influenza virus that has spread across the prison and her father risks exposure by caring for the sick, she is angry and frustrated but is able to help when she rushes in to rescue her father and husband from the reanimated infected that overrun the quarantine zone. The Governor returns to the prison and Maggie witnesses her father 's execution in horror. She defends the prison against The Governor 's militia before escaping the overrun compound with Sasha and Bob, unsure if Glenn and her sister are alive or not. Deciding that Glenn is alive, Maggie searches for and finds him, and joins the mission to D.C. for a cure. She receives news that her sister is still alive, only to be left heartbroken once she arrives too late to meet her, as Beth has just died. Maggie becomes depressed after her sister 's death, but begins to recover before the group arrived at Alexandria. Once in Alexandria, Maggie acts as Deanna 's assistant. She tries to persuade Deanna not to exile Rick and also prevents Sasha from killing Gabriel. Maggie later discovers she is pregnant and worries with the possibility of Glenn 's death. When they reunite, she joins the group to go to the Hilltop Colony where she negotiates a deal with Gregory for half of their supplies. When Rick initiates a plan to take out the Saviors, Maggie and Carol are captured by a female group of Saviors and Maggie is forced to kill them, as well as some others, to protect herself and the baby. She forms a maternal bond with Enid. When Enid gives Maggie a haircut, she collapses on the floor in pain and she is taken with a group to reach the Hilltop to see a doctor. Maggie, along with Glenn, Rosita, Daryl, Michonne, Abraham, Rick, Sasha, Carl, Eugene and Aaron, is forced to kneel before Negan before they can reach the Hilltop. Maggie is forced to watch as Negan kills Glenn as punishment for Daryl 's strike. A devastated Maggie tells Rick to prepare to fight Negan as she attempts to collect Glenn 's body. Glenn 's death ultimately helps Maggie grow stronger. Maggie moves to the Hilltop for medical treatment along with Sasha and Enid, and eventually takes leadership over Gregory. Hershel Greene Further information : Hershel Greene Scott Wilson Hershel Greene, portrayed by Scott Wilson, is a veterinarian and farmer, who is also a religious man and former alcoholic. He allows Rick and his group to remain at the farm while Carl recuperates after being shot, but hides from them that he is keeping walkers in his barn, merely believing them to be sick and not dead. When Shane opens the barn and the group kills everyone inside, his worldview is shattered, but he develops a close friendship with Rick and often acts as a voice of wisdom. When the group attempts to clear the prison, he is bitten and Rick cuts off his leg to prevent him from turning into a walker. Hershel becomes a member of the leading council of the prison and counsels the group to work to rebuild a society which can forgive the past wrongs of its members. When the prison becomes infected with the flu, he works as a medic and provides natural remedies to help ease the symptoms of his patients until a cure can be found. He is later taken hostage by The Governor, but is proud to hear Rick offer forgiveness and coexistence to The Governor and his group. The Governor refuses and executes Hershel before attacking the prison. Beth Greene Further information : Beth Greene Emily Kinney Beth Greene, portrayed by Emily Kinney, is Hershel 's younger daughter and Maggie 's younger half - sister. She sinks into a deep depression after watching her mother, half - brother, and neighbors, who had become walkers and were being housed in her father 's barn, get shot by Rick 's group, and unsuccessfully attempts suicide. She recovers and survives the fall of the farm before traveling with the group to the prison. She is often seen helping take care of Judith. When the prison becomes infected with the flu, she is put in charge of isolating the group 's children to protect them from the deadly virus. She witnesses her father 's death at the hands of The Governor and escapes the fall of the prison with Daryl. When they become separated during a walker attack, she is kidnapped. She reappears in season five at Grady Memorial Hospital, where she wakes up and discovers that she is being held in the hospital by a group of corrupt police officers. She regularly tries to fight against their strict regime, killing one officer and helping another patient, Noah, escape, but she is kept alive by the officer in charge, Dawn Lerner. As a result of an exchange plan negotiated by Rick to rescue Beth, she is returned to Rick 's group, but Rick refuses to let Lerner take back Noah. Beth stabs Dawn with hidden scissors, but Dawn 's instinctive reflexes cause her to fire a single bullet through Beth 's head, killing her instantly and unexpectedly. Michonne Further information : Michonne Danai Gurira Michonne, portrayed by Danai Gurira, is a resourceful and self - sufficient katana - wielding survivor. Her past, revealed slowly over the series, shows she had survived the initial apocalypse with her three - year - old son Andre, her boyfriend Mike, and their friend Terry. Mike, Terry, and Andre had been attacked by walkers while she was on a supply run, and she blamed Andre 's death on Mike and Terry. She used the reanimated Mike and Terry walkers as a means to disguise her scent among walker hordes. She saves Andrea after the group ran off from Hershel 's farm, and becomes her friend. When they are brought to Woodbury, Michonne is highly distrustful of The Governor and leaves the community to warn Andrea 's friends after witnessing Glenn and Maggie being captured. When Rick 's group attacks Woodbury, Michonne joins in and gets in a fight with The Governor, destroying one of his eyes. Michonne becomes a pivot in the conflict between Rick 's group and The Governor. Later, when Rick 's group is forced to flee the prison after The Governor 's attack, Michonne meets up with Rick and Carl, and the three become closer. As the story progresses, Michonne becomes the voice of reason for Rick, reminding him not to take risks. By the time the group has worked their way to Alexandria, Rick and Michonne have started a relationship with each other. Michonne is attacked by a member of the Scavengers and is almost killed. The Governor Further information : The Governor ( The Walking Dead ) David Morrissey The Governor ( real name, Phillip Blake ), portrayed by David Morrissey, is the leader of the fortified town of Woodbury. He is a charismatic man, who is nevertheless power - mad and willing to kill anyone to secure the supplies needed to strengthen the town.

He maintains his kingly persona as he leads his troops into the battle where they kill a large number of Saviors and believe themselves to be victorious. Not long afterward, they come into the line of fire of Savior snipers who kill all of Ezekiel 's fighters except for Jerry and Carol and wound Ezekiel himself. As they try to escape the compound, Shiva finds them threatened by walkers and sacrifices herself to save Ezekiel. Only then does his facade break down. When he returns to the Kingdom, devastated, he retreats to his rooms and will see no one. He only reappears when the Saviors come to remove everyone from the Sanctuary, sacrificing himself as a distraction so his people could escape and padlocking the gates so the Saviors could not overrun their home. Jadis Jadis, portrayed by Pollyanna McIntosh, is the oddly - spoken and enigmatic leader of the Scavengers. She is calm and collected, but also very cunning and sly. Her group kidnapped Gabriel and then ambushed Rick 's team as they searched for him. When asked by Rick to join forces to defeat the Saviors, Jadis is reluctant but takes it into consideration after being told that they could gain more supplies. Jadis tells Rick he needs to prove his worth and she pushes him down a trash heap into a pit of trash and metal. After watching Rick kill a heavily armored walker, she tells him that she and her people will help him, but that they need a lot of guns. When Rick 's group delivers 63 guns to her, she tells him that it is not enough, claiming they need nearly twice as many guns. Rick and Jadis renegotiate and agree that he will keep 20 of the guns while he searches for more. He finds the needed guns at Oceanside, seemingly clinching the Scavengers ' support. The day of the battle, she crudely propositions Rick upon arrival at Alexandria. Together, the Scavengers and the Alexandrians wire up bombs at the gates ready for the enemy. When the explosion fails as Negan and his men wait by the gates, Jadis pulls a gun on Rick and the Scavengers follow suit with the rest of the Alexandrians. She reveals that she told Negan of Rick 's plan and was offered a `` better deal '' by the Saviors. When the Saviors get distracted by the re-animated Sasha, Rick attempts to make another deal with her, but Jadis refuses and shoots him in the abdomen ; she pushes him off the platform. During the battle, she flees with her group through smoke bombs. After the war between the Saviors and the banded survivors has begun, Rick again attempts to get Jadis on his side. She imprisons him in a shipping container, only releasing him to fight with another armed walker. He decapitates the walker and disarms her men, giving her new terms which she appears to accept. In the episode `` The Key '' Jadis captures Negan at gunpoint, in trying to take justice for the death of his camp at the hands of Simon. Jadis seeing the sincerity of Negan she decides to let him go. Supporting characters Atlanta survivors Emma Bell Amy, portrayed by Emma Bell, is Andrea 's younger sister.

Morales reveals that his family never reached Birmingham and he went insane after losing his wife and children before joining the Saviors. During the standoff between Rick and Morales in `` Monsters, '' Morales is killed by Daryl Dixon with a crossbow bolt to the head despite Rick 's attempts to stop him. The death of Morales and his family leaves Rick, Carl, Daryl and Carol as the only surviving members of the Atlanta camp. Ed Peletier, portrayed by Adam Minarovich, is Carol 's husband and Sophia 's father. He is lazy, abusive, mean - spirited and sexist. After Ed slaps his wife in front of other survivors, Shane beats Ed badly, threatening to kill him the next time he sees Ed lay his hands on his family or anyone else again.

Prison survivors Five inmates in the prison survived the apocalypse, locked up in the canteen for ten months. Until released from the canteen by Rick 's group, they were unaware of the walker plague that wiped out a large percentage of the population. Rick tells them they can live in a separate cellblock. Although two of them ultimately join Rick 's group, they all eventually die. Andrew, portrayed by Markice Moore, is a character from the comics ; he is an inmate - survivor at the prison and Tomas ' right - hand man. When Rick kills Tomas, Andrew attacks Rick, after which Andrew flees and ends up in a courtyard, surrounded by walkers, where Rick locks him in. However, Andrew was shown ( `` Killer Within '' ) to have survived, and he attempts to sabotage the prison, which leads to the deaths of Lori and T - Dog. Andrew eventually gets into a confrontation with Rick, successfully disarming him. Andrew orders Oscar to shoot Rick, but Oscar instead shoots Andrew dead. Lew Temple Axel, portrayed by Lew Temple, a character from the comics, Axel is an inmate - survivor at the prison, who was jailed for armed robbery. He initially leads others to believe he was in for a narcotics conviction. He appears to be much kinder than his fellow inmates and tends to calm things down. After Tomas ' attempt at killing Rick, he and Oscar are accused of collaborating with Tomas and Andrew to kill Rick and his group. After Rick 's group dispatches with Tomas and Andrew, Rick 's group holds Axel and Oscar at gunpoint. After Axel begs for mercy and pleads that he and Oscar were not in on Tomas ' plan, Rick decides to spare him and Oscar and allow them to live in another cellblock. Axel later pleads with Rick to let him and Oscar join Rick 's group, but his request is denied. 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. Carol uses Axel 's body as a shield from the assault. In a later episode, Daryl tells Andrea that everybody liked Axel and he was part of the group. Axel was the last surviving prison inmate. Theodus Crane Big Tiny, portrayed by Theodus Crane, is a large inmate - survivor in the prison. He is the muscle of the group, but appears to be gentler and more reasonable than some other group members ( such as Tomas and Andrew ). While clearing out the cellblock, he disobeys Rick 's admonition to stick together, and a walker scratches his shoulder blade. While trying to convince the others the scratch has no effect on him, Tomas unexpectedly and brutally smashes his head repeatedly with a blunt instrument, killing him, much to the others ' horror. Vincent M. Ward Oscar, portrayed by Vincent M. Ward, is an inmate - survivor at the prison, who was jailed for breaking and entering.

He gains Rick 's trust after shooting Andrew, who was trying to kill Rick, and then giving Rick the gun. Oscar soon becomes a vital member of the group and demonstrates proficiency in killing walkers, as well as a fondness for bedroom slippers. During the rescue mission to save Glenn and Maggie, Oscar is shot and killed by a Woodbury soldier, while helping Maggie over the blockade wall. Tomas, portrayed by Nick Gomez, is the leader of the five inmate - survivors at the prison and is feared by the others.

He and Rick eventually strike an agreement that Rick 's group will help them clear another cellblock to live in, in exchange for half of the pantry 's stores of food. 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 season three. 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 season four as a result of the spreading of the flu. As of the episode `` 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. Soldiers Crowley, portrayed by Arthur Bridgers, is one of The Governor 's enforcers. In `` Hounded, '' after Michonne leaves Woodbury, Merle leads a team to track her down and kill her, and Michonne decapitates him. Merle then has Gargulio put Crowley down before he turns. Gargulio, portrayed by Dave Davis, is a new soldier to the Woodbury army, tasked with participating with Merle 's posse to track down and kill Michonne after she leaves Woodbury. Merle forces Gargulio to shoot Crowley in the head, to prevent him from reanimating. Merle shoots Gargulio dead for disagreeing with Merle 's plan to give up on finding Michonne, but to tell The Governor they killed her. Haley, portrayed by Alexa Nikolas. is one of The Governor 's enforcers tasked with protecting Woodbury 's wall. She teaches Andrea how to use a bow and arrows, and tells Andrea she had to kill her father and brother when they turned.

'' Maggie shoots and kills Haley when Maggie and Rick storm Woodbury to save the Dixon brothers. Melissa Ponzio Karen, portrayed by Melissa Ponzio, 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. She is among The Governor 's soldiers, who attack and fail to take over the prison. When the army rebels against returning to the prison, The Governor shoots all of them, except his top henchmen ( Martinez and Shumpert ), and Karen, who hides under a body and survives. She is found hiding in a truck by Rick, Michonne, and Daryl, and is among the Woodbury citizens, who are taken to the prison. By the time season four begins, she has started a relationship with Tyreese. When an influenza outbreak spreads throughout the prison, Karen begins to get sick and is quarantined until she gets better. However, Carol kills Karen and burns her body in an attempt to keep the virus from spreading. Jose Pablo Cantillo Caesar Martinez, portrayed by Jose Pablo Cantillo. is one of The Governor 's enforcers ; he becomes The Governor 's most trusted enforcer after Merle defects. Martinez is a sharpshooter, who favors a baseball bat ; he is also shown wearing a baseball jersey bearing the number 23. He reveals to Daryl that walkers killed his wife and children when the apocalypse began. Merle, who acts as Martinez 's sparring partner in Woodbury 's gladiator - style tournaments, refers to him both as `` Brownie '' and as `` Bro '' in the same conversation because Merle was a redneck and junkie ( `` Say the Word '' ). 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 n't 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. Martinez is comforted by The Governor 's having apparently changed his ways ( evidenced by his having started over with a new family ). While playing golf with The Governor, Martinez reveals that Shumpert had died and admits to his worries about keeping the group safe. After Martinez proposes sharing leadership with him, The Governor strikes him down and feeds him to a pit of walkers. Noah, portrayed by Parker Wierling, is one of The Governor 's enforcers ; he is an adolescent, who has severe asthma. The Governor enrolls Noah in his army despite his youth and infirmity. Karen and Andrea try to stop this from happening, but fail. It is not made clear whether or not Noah is among The Governor 's army that attacks the prison. In an interview with MTV, Melissa Ponzio ( Karen ) confirmed that Noah is not Karen 's son ( as some viewers believed ) and that The Governor killed him off - screen. Paul, portrayed by E. Roger Mitchell, is one of The Governor 's enforcers tasked with protecting the wall. He tries to break out of Woodbury when conditions worsen. He is among The Governor 's men, who attack the prison and retreat when Rick 's group overwhelms them. The Governor shoots and kills Paul when Paul protests against returning to attack the prison. Shumpert ( also known as `` The Bowman '' ), portrayed by Travis Love, is one of The Governor 's enforcers. Like Daryl, his weapon of choice is a crossbow ( hence, some fans who do n't know his name sometimes refer to Shumpert as `` The Bowman '' or `` Bowman '' ), although ( also like Daryl ) he is a marksman. 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. Tim, portrayed by Lawrence Kao, is one of The Governor 's enforcers. Despite Tim 's youth, The Governor had trained him to kill both the undead and the living. He also rakes The Governor 's lawn and referees Woodbury 's gladiator tournament. In `` Hounded, '' after Michonne leaves Woodbury, Merle leads a team to find her. However, she gets the drop on them and fatally stabs Tim in the chest. Merle later prevents Tim from becoming a walker by stabbing him in the brain. Jody, portrayed by Tanner Holland, is one of the Woodbury citizens, who participate in the attack on the prison, but are defeated. He however is not killed by The Governor in the shootout. Jody gets separated from everyone else and instead finds Carl, Hershel, Beth, and Judith. Carl shoots him dead after Jody moves towards them and tries to hand them his weapon after he was told to drop it. Civilians Penny Blake, portrayed by Kylie Szymanski, is The Governor 's zombified daughter, whom he has kept locked in a closet in his house. He feeds her fresh meat and tenderly grooms her. Michonne finds her in a cage and lets her out, but is shocked when pulling the bag off Penny 's head reveals she is a walker. The Governor pleads with Michonne not to harm Penny, but Michonne kills her anyway, thus sending The Governor into a rage. 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 the episode `` 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, 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.

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 've 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 lastly Tyreese. Sasha is only prison newcomer still alive. 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.

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.

Vincent Martella Patrick, portrayed by Vincent Martella, 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 Greg, Eryn, Owen, Ryan, Mr. Jacobson, Ms. McLeod and many others of whom he got sick. Brighton Sharbino Lizzie Samuels, portrayed by Brighton Sharbino, 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 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. Kyla Kenedy Mika Samuels, portrayed by Kyla Kenedy, is Ryan 's daughter and Lizzie 's sister. She is seen naming the walkers and later at storytime.

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. Audrey Marie Anderson Lilly Chambler, portrayed by Audrey Marie Anderson, 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 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.

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. Enver Gjokaj 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. Jeff Kober Joe, portrayed by Jeff Kober, 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 's 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 's 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 last half of season four 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.

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.

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, 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. Keisha Castle - Hughes 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. Maximiliano Hernández 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 n't get far before Rick runs him down in a police car and shoots him in the head. Officer Dawn Lerner, portrayed by Christine Woods, 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. Tyler James Williams Noah, portrayed by Tyler James Williams 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. For this, Officers Dawn Lerner and Gorman take him out into the hall and beat him. Beth later apologizes, only for Noah to insist that he 's fine and has been through worse. Nevertheless, Beth decides to form a plan for her and Noah to escape. They use the elevator shaft, which has served as a body disposal chute, and with a long chord of sheets tied together, they both make it down, although Noah loses his grip and falls, spraining one ankle. They both manage to make it outside, where Beth fends off several walkers with a handgun. Although Beth is stopped and restrained by the officers, Noah manages to make it to the outer gate and slips through, running off after he and Beth exchange a final glance. Noah later encounters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier and learns of their connection to Beth, but Carol is caught and Daryl takes Noah back to the church to take the rest of the group back to Atlanta to get Beth and Carol back. However, Beth is killed by Dawn and Rick allows Noah to stay with the group. In `` Spend, '' Noah is killed by walkers during a botched mission to scavenge parts to repair Alexandria 's solar power system. Officer O'Donnell, portrayed by Ricky Wayne, is an officer working at the hospital under Officer Lerner. He is the one whom Carol and Daryl follow in `` Consumed, '' though they eventually lose his trail when their car runs out of gas. Nevertheless, their tailing him eventually results in them discovering the group of survivors at the hospital, as well as the fact that they have Beth. In `` Coda, '' he stands up to Lerner and accuses her of cracking under the pressure of leadership, claiming that she is no longer fit to run the hospital. Although she pulls her gun on him, he manages to disarm her, and they fight in the hallway before Beth pushes him into the elevator shaft to his death. Percy, portrayed by Marc Gowan, is an elderly patient at the hospital. When Beth needs to secretly steal the proper medications to give to Carol, she bribes Percy with a handful of strawberries, and he distracts the nearest officers by faking a breathing problem. Once Beth acquires the medicine and leaves, he suddenly says that he feels fine. In the next episode, he is seen being berated by Officer O'Donnell for apparently failing to properly fix a hole in the officer 's shirt, and O'Donnell shoves him to the ground in anger. Officer Amanda Shepherd, portrayed by Teri Wyble, is one of the two officers, who is captured by Noah 's trap, along with Sergeant Lamson. After being taken hostage, she tries to convince Rick and the group that Officer Lerner ca n't be negotiated with, and the hostage swap that they are planning will result in all of their deaths. She explains by saying that there has been a feeling of unrest among the other officers at the hospital, and that they desire to overthrow Lerner, and Lerner is aware of these sentiments. Shepherd and Licari are eventually returned to the hospital, and continue to live there after Lerner 's death.
