Glenn Rhee

*"People you love... they made you who you are. They're still part of you. **If you stop being you, that last bit of them that's still around inside**, who you are... it's gone."*
―Glenn sharing his philosophy with Enid.[src]
**Glenn Rhee** was a survivor of the apocalypse and an original member of the Atlanta camp. Before the outbreak, Glenn was a pizza delivery boy and due to his quick thinking, skills, and resourcefulness, he became the group's main supply runner. During one of his many missions into Atlanta, Glenn saved Rick Grimes from being killed by several walkers and then brought him back to his camp to reunite with his family.

While the group stayed at the Greene farm, Glenn began a long-lasting relationship with Maggie Greene. Although at first his newfound affection for Maggie collided with his reckless lifestyle, Glenn ended up accepting her feelings after Hershel assured him that he was the right man for his daughter. When the group took refuge in a prison, Glenn proposed to Maggie after getting Hershel's blessing and the two became married.

Following the downfall of the prison, Glenn escaped from the wreckage with the help of deserter Tara. While searching for his wife, they encountered Abraham Ford and his group on a journey to Washington, D.C. Eventually, the married couple managed to reunite. When the group joined a paradisiac community named the Alexandria Safe-Zone, Glenn proved to have become someone with leadership abilities to respect after he found himself in conflict with some residents.

During a plan to divert a herd of walkers from Alexandria, Glenn came to the brink of death and these events made him develop a fatherly bond with Enid. After receiving the news that Maggie was pregnant, Glenn became more than willing to protect his family and faced new conflicts with another group, thus killing a person for the first time. Unfortunately, Glenn was brutally murdered by Negan, leaving behind a legacy of suffering and absolute submission by his group to the enemy, and an uncertain future for his pregnant wife.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Glenn grew up in Michigan and was raised alongside his sisters by their parents, who were immigrants from Korea. By his early twenties, Glenn had moved to Atlanta where he found employment as a pizza delivery boy, and it was during this period where he gained insightful knowledge regarding the city streets and layout.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

When the outbreak happened around the world, Glenn was rescued by T-Dog near Atlanta. Sometime later, they encountered and joined a campsite of survivors on the outskirts of the city. Due to his resourcefulness and skills, Glenn became the main supply runner of the group and went to the city to scavenge.

## Death

Killed By
* Daryl Dixon *(Indirectly Caused)*

After Negan finished beating Abraham to death, he began to taunt Rosita. Seeing this, an angry Daryl got up and attempted to attack Negan, punching him in the face hard. Daryl was subdued immediately and Negan expressed his disapproval of such behavior to Rick's group, having warned them there would be consequences.

* Negan

Negan spared Daryl and choose to make an example of Glenn, bashing his head in hard with "Lucille". Glenn was able to survive the first two blows, which crushed his skull deeply and caused one of his eyes to pop out, and managed to muster his last words, "Maggie, I'll ... I'll find you", before he eventually succumbed to another violent strike on the face. Negan then continued beating Glenn until there was nothing recognizable left of him.
