Daryl Dixon

Daryl Dixon is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is the younger brother of Merle. Daryl is an expert at hunting, tracking, navigation, and observation. He is also a skilled combatant, knife-wielder and crossbowman. Rick Grimes values him as his right-hand man, close friend, and later on as a brother figure. Daryl is the boyfriend to Mariana Walsh and is the adoptive father to Alek and Lucy Walsh, Glenn and Lori Oliva, TJ Williams, Sasha Santos, and the biological father to Cecelia Oliva.
Daryl is at first a brazen, surly, impulsive redneck but develops himself as an integral part of the group due to his survival skills. His aggression is unprecedented, and it remains one of his most valuable assets, as well as one of his most noticeable. Following the deaths of Ed and Minerva Peletier, Daryl has developed a close bond with fellow survivor Carol Peletier. He later formed a brief yet close bond with another fellow survivor Beth Greene before her demise.
Following the end of the war against Negan and the Saviors, Daryl becomes the new leader of the Saviors, though he eventually resigns from the role, giving it to Carol instead. In the years following Rick's assumed death, he started living in the woods after spending a long time searching for his best friend's body. He also came across a dog as well as his former owner, a woman named Leah who he develops a romantic bond with, during this time. Later on, he forms a parental bond with Lydia and acts as her father figure, protecting and caring for her.
Daryl is a member of the Dixon Family.
