### Cause of Death

Beaten to death by William Reynes

"*It's all your fault, Vy. All of it. Why do you do this to me? Why do you look at me with such contempt? Like I'm some kind of monster? You can't even bring yourself to look at me, can you? I'm your father. You killed my wife... and my daughter... and you can't even bring yourself to fucking look me in the eye.*"
—Todd blaming his daughter Violet Glover for causing the deaths of her mother and sister[src]

Todd Glover is a supporting character and an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in Route to Paradise. He is a teacher at the community of Worthwood, and lives there with his daughter Violet Glover. While initially shown to be a friendly, joking, and overall normal father, behind closed doors Todd is an abusive alcoholic, blaming Violet for getting her mother and sister killed. He beats his daughter for this reason, but because it's a known fact that Violet sneaks out of the community, it's assumed her bruises and cuts are from injuring herself. But when William Reynes and his group arrive at Worthwood, Violet confesses to Lloyd Waller what Todd does to her, leading to Lloyd confronting Todd while he is drunk and abusing Violet. Todd attacks the boy, before William himself breaks into the house, and proceeds to beat Todd to death in front of his house, and in front of a crowd of onlookers.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Todd lived somewhere near Worthwood with his wife and two daughters. He was a history teacher.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

During the first days of the apocalypse, Todd and his family would leave their home in an attempt to get to one of the many military safe zones. But along the way, their car breaks down, and they're forced to go on foot. While setting up shelter off the side of the road one night, Todd gives his daughter Violet Glover his rifle to protect their shelter while he goes off to find supplies. Upon Todd's return, he finds that his wife and his youngest daughter, Ruby, were killed in a zombie attack, while Violet hid in a tree, unable to save them. He can't find it in him to forgive Violet, and blames her for letting her family die.

Todd and Violet would survive for a little while longer on their own before being recruited to Worthwood by Genna and Mackenzie Brohem. At Worthwood, Todd would become a teacher there, and for a while everything is back to normal. But when Todd finds out that Violet sneaks out of Worthwood often, he attempts to stage an intervention with the help of Gerald Roland, an intervention that ultimately fails.

### **Season 6**

#### **"All Good Things"**

Todd enters the classroom at Worthwood's school, greeting his class, and getting ready to start his class. But before he does, he clears his throat and points over to Lloyd Waller, who's standing awkwardly by the door; he's new to the community. Todd informs everyone about the new student, and encourages Lloyd to introduce himself. Lloyd does, explaining how surreal and overwhelming it is to be here. Todd nods slowly, and claps, before directing Lloyd to go take a seat at one of the empty desks beside Joseph Benson and Christopher Woods. When Lloyd does, Todd says that he'll give Lloyd a few minutes to get to know everyone, and when he comes back, they'll start class. Todd then exits the classroom.

After class, Todd is seated behind his desk in the classroom. He's in the middle of giving Lloyd a lecture, who's the only other person in the room. He explains to Lloyd that he and his family were out there as well, and know what it's like, so if Lloyd has any questions at all, he should come see him.

During the lunch break, a fight erupts between Lloyd and Jerry Rhodes. Todd comes rushing over after the fight is over, seeing Jerry lying on the ground, his face beaten and bruised, while Lloyd stands nearby, his fists bloody.

After the fight, Todd is speaking to William Reynes, telling him about what had happened. Todd doesn't really know what got into Lloyd to beat up Jerry like that, but one thing Todd does know is that he'll appreciate the extra help that William is going to bring, given that he is planning on becoming a teacher here like Todd. The two men shake hands for an uncomfortably long time, before Todd breaks off, and informs William that Lloyd is sitting outside. William thanks him, before walking off to find Lloyd.

That night, Todd and his daughter Violet are seen arriving at the welcoming party for William and his group. Todd noticeably looks a bit exhausted and sour, and not too thrilled. But he puts a smile on his face, and walks off to go converse with some friends.

#### **"The Stranger"**

At school, Todd is in the hallway talking to William, who's here for his first day as a teacher. While Todd will be teaching some of the younger children, William's job that day is to teach the older kids. Todd tells him not to worry, and lets him know that there's a textbook that Todd threw together when he first arrived at Worthwood that William can use to teach the kids. He notes that since William used to be a biology teacher, he could use his knowledge to teach the children about the human body, since that's especially important nowadays. William gives Todd a simple nod, and thanks him.

#### **"The Tick"**

Early the next morning, before school, Todd answers his front door to find Lloyd standing on the other side. He's a bit shocked to see him here - but quickly puts on a grin, and greets him. He then jokes around for a second - wondering how Lloyd found out which lodge he lived in. Lloyd quietly says that it was Joseph who told him. When Lloyd then asks if he can see Violet, Todd nods and yells Violet's name. She arrives a few seconds later, and Todd leaves the two of them be.

When the school day is up, Todd enters William's classroom, just wanting to check in and see how he's doing so far, and if he needs any help. Todd notices William tense up, and he aggressively tells Todd that he doesn't need any help. A bit confused by his abrupt hostility, Todd asks if everything is okay, but William simply tells Todd to see himself out. Frowning, Todd shrugs, and exits the room, looking a bit frustrated.

Later that day, Todd is seen inside of his lodge, drunk, and having just knocked over his liquor cabinet. He yells in frustration, calling Violet's name. When she arrives, Todd angrily tells Violet to clean up the mess. As Violet tries to speak, a furious Todd screams and throws one of the half-shattered bottles at the wall, causing it to shatter even further, glass flying across the room. Violet turns away, flinching. Todd then turns to look at Violet, a cold and hateful look in his eyes, as he tells her that everything is her fault. It's her fault that his wife, and his daughter Ruby are dead. He begins to grow angry and emotional, berating Violet for killing the two people he loved the most - and calls her out for not being able to even look him in the eye. Violet slowly and quietly tries to calm her father down, but Todd says that he isn't finished, continuing to scold her for what she did. He yells out, and punches her in the face, sending her stumbling backwards into the wall. Violet then yells back, saying that it wasn't her fault - but rather both of their fault. But Todd isn't even listening to her at this point, as he tells Violet that he wishes she was just dead. This causes Violet to yell out and punch Todd in anger. Todd is about to retaliate - but stops when he hears the voice of Lloyd telling him to stop. Lloyd is standing in the doorway, and says that he won't allow Todd to lay another hand on her. Todd scrunches his face, steps forward, rebuking Lloyd for being a vicious brat that beat up one of his classmates. He grabs Lloyd, shaking him, which prompts Lloyd to take out a knife and slash Todd across the face. He stumbles back, feeling the cut on his face, before charging at Lloyd in anger, sending the boy flying backwards into a table, hitting his head. Just then, the front door bursts open. Todd turns to look at who it is -- and comes face to face with William's fist. The punch sends Todd back a few feet, but before he has any chance to retaliate, William grabs Todd, and throws him out of the front door. He tumbles down the steps and lands on the cobblestone path in front of his house. Immediately, William stomps outside after Todd, climbing onto him, and beginning to clobber him in the face with punch after punch. He yells for William to get off of him, and tries shielding his face to no avail. William keeps throwing punches, again and again, not letting up. Todd starts to cough blood, weakly trying to block the hits, but he simply can't stop William. Another punch, and another, and another. William doesn't stop. A crowd of people gather nearby, while several of Worthwood's police officers try to stop William, but are attacked by Jon Matthews before they can get William off. And so William keeps punching, over and over. By this point, Todd is motionless, unable to defend himself anymore. The beating continues for a while longer, until William is finally dragged off of Todd and restrained. But it's far too late. By that point, Todd's face is nothing but mush, an unrecognizable mess of flesh and blood. He had died.
