**Zion** *(real name unknown)* is a main character and an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. He is a high-ranking member of the Fear and eventually rises to become the right-hand man of The Crow and therefore the second-in-command of the group after the death of the Lady. He is the Fear's powerhouse, showing near inhuman levels of durability and is an expert tracker. He serves as the secondary antagonist of *Season 24* to the first half of *Season 27*.

## Overview

### Personality

Zion is shown to be a sadistic, cunning, aggressive, psychopathic and highly analytical man who is devoted to the Fear's way of life; Nathan Carlson notes that Zion was the sole member of the group that did not undergo the hideous torture the others went through, indicating that the Crow believed Zion felt no fear to begin with.

Due to his large size and strength, Zion is a very dangerous opponent, capable of using excessive force to protect his group and is an extremely skilled fighter, being able to casually overpower Drew during a fight. He also has very fast reflexes. He is also extremely durable, surviving a 3-story fall with little damage sustained.

## Pre-Apocalypse

As discovered through files found in the asylum, the man who would become "Zion" suffered from severe psychological issues to the point he was locked up a mental hospital under maximum security.

## Post-Apocalypse

After the outbreak, "Zion" broke out of the asylum within which he had been kept and went out into the New World. He enjoyed it, with the world of the dead - a world of chaos and destruction - now fully accepting of his psychotic ways. He belonged in this world. As the years passed, he killed more and more people, developing his tracking skills in the nearby forest. Eventually, he was forced into submission by the Crow and soon rose to become his right-hand-man.

## Death
