**Gregory David** is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios* and a returning main character and antagonist in the ***'**New Age*' Extension. A high-functioning sociopath and mathematics prodigy who lived in the city of Port Collier, Gregory, despite his high ability, became friends with a rough kid named Francis. Gregory would go on to be the sense in Francis' madness and the ration manager of the community of Hopeville. After the fall of Port Collier, Gregory re-emerged as a member of the Ravagers until he was forcibly banished by Edwards, for whom Gregory would harbour a deep hatred for the rest of his life.

Travelling west, Gregory used his cunning and intelligence to amass his own army of loyal soldiers, creating a formidable micro-nation dubbed the Republic of David, with its capital being the fortress of Hopeville. Upon learning of the Commonwealth's still-rich oil fields, he launched a sudden invasion, keeping it hidden from his closest lieutenants that the invasion was merely an attempt to wipe out Edwards' legacy forever. He serves as a minor antagonist in *Season 1* and *Season 13* and the primary antagonist of *Season 3* and *Season 4* of the '*New Age*' Extension.

## Overview

### Personality

Much like the people he decided to surround himself with, Gregory was one of Francis’ friends and one of his most loyal men. However, compared to his buddies, Gregory was relatively reasonable and a balance to Francis and Randall’s violent and brutal natures.

When the Kickoff occurred and the adults died, Gregory stayed with Francis, continuously solidifying his loyalty, and became the
manager of the construction effort around the Port Collier city hall, which
would expand into the safe-zone of Hopeville. He also managed rationing and supply
availability, struggling to balance between everyone in the town.

Occasionally, he would put his scavenging skills to the test, accompanying Randall and Francis out into the streets. This was when
he first encountered the remains of the Clarkson Survivors, and fought them in
the battle in the street, shooting Emma, much to James’ rage. During the supply
gathering within Hopeville, James got the chance to confront Gregory but left him alive.

However, unlike those around him, Gregory had sense and, for his age, a spark of wisdom. However, this only hid a talent for cunning deduction, pure ruthlessness and brutal mannerisms. Possessing a silver tongue, Gregory manipulated James Cottingham against his best friend, Edwards, and convinced Francis to go on a wild goose-chase for Edwards. After being banished from Greencole Valley, he would go on to lose what humanity and sanity he had left and became the leader of the Republic of David.
