**Chris Atkins** is a main character who appears in The Hell that Walks: Season 1. Chris is a testy and untrusting individual who, after losing many members of his group, became incredibly aggressive and hostile towards strangers, and is rather cynical. Despite this, upon getting to know others better, he is much more open and joking.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Before the apocalypse, Chris was a hunter who commonly hunted with his friends Job and Ricardo, with the latter being rather inexperienced with rifles, which resulted in Ricardo letting go of the rifle and the butt of the rifle striking Chris in the nose, breaking it.

## Post-Apocalypse

At some point during the apocalypse, Chris joined a group consisting of Eli, Jenny, Lucas, James, Ozzie, Isabelle, George, Anthony, Jamie, and eleven other people. However, Lucas, believing that bandits would attack, opened the gates at the camp without realizing the amount of beasties behind the wall, which would kill him, James, and the other survivors.

Later, he, along with Jenny, Eli, Ozzie, Isabelle, George, Anthony, and Jamie would set up camp, but bandits proceeded to raid the camp and kill Anthony first, then execute Isabelle and Jamie, and finally George when he and Ozzie attempt to escape. Chris, along with Jenny and Eli, are able to escape while the bandits are distracted however.

Chris first appears alongside Jenny and Eli when Matt, Leon, Tyler, Drew, Fiona, and Samuel survive a bandit attack and arrive back at their home, where they discover Chris's group attempting to rob the place. Immediately, he and Leon get into an argument, which is broken up by Matt and Jenny. Eventually, the groups are able to end hostility towards each other and begin bonding, with Chris telling his backstory with Leon. Later, when it was revealed the cabin is too small and the group begins voting, Chris recommends going to the gas station for food, but the group ends up going to the farmhouse.

Along the way, when one of the undead bandits nearly kills Leon, Chris shoots and kills it and saves him. Later, at the farmhouse, he witnesses both Drew and Fiona being cornered by beasties, and witnesses Fiona be killed and put down by Leon.

#### Shot in the Dark

Chris appears when Leon informs the group that Matt is missing, and reassures Leon that he will be found. He later joins Leon, Drew, Samuel, Jenny and Tyler on the search for Matt, but becomes separated from Leon along with the others.

Chris is shown back at the farmhouse where he reveals that he and Jenny had sex and began a relationship. Later, when Wendell arrives for revenge, Chris threatens to shoot Terrance if Leon is hurt. In retaliation, Wendell attempts to kill Chris, but is shot by Nicole, leading to a gunfight. Chris is then able to help Leon get to a pickup truck in order to escape the bandits, and he is able to get on.

Once it is revealed that Jenny was accidentally left behind, Chris becomes enraged and demands to go back for her, and is furious when Penelope begins taunting him. The two get into a heated argument, which ends with Chris calling Penelope a bitch on the side of the road.
