Mikel Zelgris (Fear)

**Mikel Zelgris** is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's *Fear The Armageddon*. He is a member of the Pirates. Before the outbreak, he was a fisherman who retreated to a lakehouse to isolate himself from society after shooting a criminal. At some point, he met Olive Floyd (whom he nicknamed "Honey") and fell in love with her before she abandoned him.

Sometime later, Mikel abandons his lakehouse in order to start his long journey of finding his loved one, eventually crossing paths with the Pirates. He was a member of Manawa's group until the group was forcibly split up and resettled into Jesse Kipper's various settlements where he served as a ranger, and later an inter-settlement councilmember in the town of Galveston before his departure. Becoming depressed and suicidal following his separation from Olive, Mikel was eventually murdered by Chadwick Smith after discovering that he was the killer who his group had been hunting in Galveston.

## Overview

Mikel was an acknowledged leader with a brave heart and a tactical mind. He was a loyal member of the Pirates and an adamant vanguard for mankind's freedom. During times of ease, Mikel was shown to be a quiet man, rarely speaking unless it concerned a more serious matter. Mikel also had trust issues due to him questioning people when he first met them. Josephine claimed he was a very capable leader, despite this strange habit which they noted probably meant nothing. However, Mikel didn't succumb to extreme terror and cowered in front of the Galveston killer, Chadwick Smith, moments after his leg was brutalised by the latter. Even in the face of death, he was able to regain his composure for just a moment of fighting off the crawlers before being devoured alive amidst his own horror and tears.

#### "What They Died For"

While a second attempt at capturing Chadwick Smith takes place in Galveston Island, Mikel's group is tasked with investigating the Saviors recruits for any possible accomplices to her. As Mikel notices a horde of crawlers approaching, Mikel sends Henning to inform Jesse that crawlers have appeared inside the walls and mobilizes his squad to depart. While witnessing Isabelle being devoured after the walls are breached, Mikel orders the rest of the group to not give up hope, reminding then that humanity can only be defeated when the will to fight is lost. After ordering the others to escape and warn the surrounding towns, Mikel takes on the horde of crawlers by himself in order to buy them time to get away.

Mikel manages to kill a dozen of the crawlers before he encounters Chadwick whom worries him due to his past actions as the Galveston killer. Chadwick grabs Mikel's battle axe and hurls it towards him, sending into him and puncturing his left leg. Mikel's leg is crushed and Chadwick puts down the crawlers in order to not eat Mikel so he can question him. The zombie ignores the command and Chadwick slashes its head with Mikel's axe, putting it down, and begins questioning Mikel about his battle gear. Mikel is too shocked to respond, causing Chadwick to become impatient and simply steal his gear before abandoning him. Mustering his courage, Mikel tries to fight back but Chadwick allows the surrounding crawlers to move freely again. The horde of crawlers immediately pounce on Mikel, ripping him apart as he screams in agony. Later, his corpse is found hanging outside of the Smith family's outpost by his girlfriend, Olive and Aphid who proceeds to put him down so he doesn't become a crawler.
