context_page_description: The following is a list of characters from The Walking Dead television series based on the eponymous comic book series. Although some characters appear in both the television and comic series, the continuity of the television series is not shared with the original comic book series.
context_section_description: Hershel Rhee, portrayed by Peyton Lockridge, is the son of Maggie and Glenn, who is named in honor of his grandfather, Hershel Greene. He first appears in "A New Beginning" with his mother and resides at the Hilltop Colony.
  Ana, portrayed by Brina Palencia, is a survivor encountered by Rick and Carol while on a supply run. Ana, who has a limp, is holed up in a house with her boyfriend, Sam. She and Sam were separated from the refugee group they were with and left on their own for days. Rick gets to know them and decides they are worthy of joining the prison community. After Carol tends to Sam's wounds, Sam and Ana volunteer to help forage for supplies. Carol agrees, but Rick is reluctant, noting they seem ill-equipped to protect themselves. However, Rick reluctantly complies with the group consensus, gives them guns, and tells them to meet back at the house in two hours. Rick and Carol later discover Ana's tattooed leg amputated, and then some distance away her deceased body being devoured by walkers, with Sam nowhere to be found.
  Leon Basset, portrayed by Linds Edwards, is a deputy sheriff at the King County Police Department who, along with his partner Lambert Kendell, works with Rick and Shane. During the car chase in the first episode, Leon, along with Rick, Shane, and Lambert, prepare for gunfire. It is shown that Leon is new to firearms, as Rick instructs him how to use one in the field. Post-outbreak, Leon becomes a walker and is put down by Rick outside the station house before Rick leaves for Atlanta.
  Allen, portrayed by Daniel Thomas May, is Donna's husband and Ben's father. The three travel to the prison with Tyreese's group, where Donna dies. After Rick banishes Tyreese's group from the prison, Allen survives with them for several days in the forest and travels with them to Woodbury, where he and his son Ben join The Governor's army. Gradually, Allen is shown to have dark intentions, first made evident in his initial proposal to take over the prison, next in his grudge against Tyreese for making Donna revere him instead of Allen, and ultimately in his willingness to do anything to stay at Woodbury. Allen is among the Woodbury army that attacks the prison; they are defeated by Rick's group, leading them to retreat. When the Woodbury army retreats and abandons their plans for takeover, Allen stands by The Governor's order to return to the prison, wanting to avenge his son's death. An enraged Governor kills the civilian army members, prompting a shocked Allen to draw his gun on The Governor. Allen does not shoot, however, and The Governor shoots Allen in the head, killing him.
  Ben, portrayed by Tyler Chase, is Allen and Donna's son, and a member of Tyreese's group. He supports his father's plot to take over the prison, which Tyreese thwarts. After Rick banishes Tyreese's group from the prison, Ben survives with them for several days in the forest and travels with them to Woodbury where, with his father, he joins The Governor's army. In "This Sorrowful Life", he dies when he steps in front of a bullet meant for The Governor and Merle shoots him in the chest. After Merle is killed, the reanimated Merle eats an arm off of Ben's corpse.
  Donna, portrayed by Cherie Dvorak, is Allen's wife and Ben's mother. She travels with them and Tyreese's group and is bitten right before entering the prison. Sasha proposes putting her down outside of the prison, but Allen and Ben beg Tyreese to spare her. Tyreese complies and is forced to carry her when she proves too heavy for Allen, who sits on the floor when being chased by walkers and gives up. Donna soon dies of her wound, and Tyreese kills her before she reanimates
  Eastman, portrayed by John Carroll Lynch, is encountered when Morgan leaves King County. He is a psychologist who used to analyze prisoners. Eastman eventually rehabilitates Morgan teaching him how life is precious, thus cementing Morgan's return to sanity. The former prison psychologist also helps Morgan find inner peace through the use of aikido. After being bitten, Eastman dies and is prevented from reanimating
