Shawn Greene (DoTWD)

―Shawn to Lee about seeing a man kill a kid.[src]

**Shawn Greene** is a survivor of the outbreak in Telltale's *The Walking Dead* and a one-off character in JunoBox's *Dawn of The Walking Dead*. Shawn encounters Lee, Clementine, Rachel and Travis early on in episode one, taking them to his father's farm, where it was safer. The story explains an alternative way to how he died before appearing zombified in the original Comic Series.

## Overview

Shawn is a kind and resourceful young man, who looks out for others. When Lee and the kids go at night, Shawn is willing to help them despite being strangers and let them stay at his family's farm. Unlike his father who doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation, Shawn wants to be fully prepared for any walkers that come by fortifying the fence. However, while he is fixing the fence, Duck accidentally runs Shawn's leg over with a tractor as walkers approach. If Lee tries to save Shawn, he will be grateful towards him before dying from his wounds.

## Pre-Apocalypse

### Greene Family Farm

Little is known about Shawn's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He was the eldest son of Hershel Greene and was a kind, good-spirited kid who knew his Dad loved him, but often had to be convinced to do any work around the family farm. In the weeks before the outbreak, Shawn's father had repeatedly asked him to take the leftover wood to the dump, but Shawn never did, something he was grateful for, as it helped him fortify the fence.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season One

#### "A New Day"

Shawn appeared with Andre Mitchell. Andre fired at Lee, but then realized that they were human. Shawn accidentally mistook Clementine and the kids as Lee's children, to which Lee gave an explanation for how he knew them. Shawn explained that Chet had been bitten and they were attempting to find the walker who killed him. As they were talking, a zombified Chet showed up and they quickly fled the neighborhood in Andre's car. Shawn was mournful of Chet's death.

After the escape, Shawn told Hershel whatever story Lee gave for knowing the kids. He also suggested to fortify the fence to protect the farm, which Hershel agreed on, and allowed Shawn to do it.

Shawn was seen the next morning working on the fence with Duck, to which Lee offered to help by sawing some boards. During this, Shawn talked to Lee about the things he saw while in the city, such as a cop shooting a kid point-blank in the face. Lee's responses either reassured or unnerved Shawn, but he proceeded to fortify the fence anyway. He was confident that things would work out in the end and thanked Lee for the conversation. He tells Lee that he should be fine with the wood already cut, and that Hershel is looking for him.

During Hershel's second interaction with Lee, the two hear a sudden screaming. Lee rushes to the source and sees Shawn pinned under a tractor and a pair of walkers trying to reach him from the other side of the fence. At the same moment, Duck, who had accidentally driven the tractor onto Shawn, is grabbed by a third walker, who tries to pull him to the other side of the fence. After Lee saves Duck, he joins Travis in the attempt to save Shawn. Lee managed to move the tractor but it is not fruitful. Kenny escapes with Duck and does not help Lee save Shawn. The fence collapses, and the walkers attack Shawn, biting into his neck. Hershel arrives with his shotgun and kills the walkers that attack Shawn and he rushes to his son's side. In his final moments, Shawn tells Hershel how Lee and Travis had tried to save him and that he would be okay. Angered by his son's death, Hershel demands that they all leave the farm. Kenny apologizes for Shawn's death, but Hershel does not accept it. He warns Lee that Kenny would do the same again if it were his kids' life on the line, and Lee leaves with Kenny for Macon.

## Death

##### **Killed By**

* Kenny *(Indirectly Caused, Alive)*
* Lee Everett *(Caused, Alive)*
* Duck *(Caused, Accidental, Alive)*

Regardless if Lee chose to save Duck or Shawn, Shawn would be attacked and eaten by two walkers while being pinned down by the tractor, and Kenny would run away with Duck. A third walker would advance on him, but they were all put down by Hershel. He later reanimated and was placed inside the Greene family's barn. Later on, in the Comic Series, when he reanimated, he was shot by Hershel.
