**Reece Grimes** *(Nee **Aegan**; Nee **Hawthorne**; Nee **Chambler*** ; *Nee **Grimes**; Nee **Chambler-Grimes**)(Pronounced REE-s - Ch-ahm-bler-Grimes)* is the protagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's the Walking Dead. He is a former boarding school student who survived the outbreak by using his wits and harsh outlook on the world. He is the biological son of Negan and the woman he had an affair with. As well as the step-son of Lucille, the adoptive son of; David Chambler, later becoming the adoptive child of Rick Grimes and Lori Grimes as well as Michonne. This also makes him the adoptive brother of; Tara Chambler, Lilly Chambler, Carl Grimes, Judith Grimes and R.J. Grimes and the adoptive uncle of Meghan Chambler.

He saved his beloved Adoptive Father, Rick as well as his friends from a killer. After this Reece slowly assimilated into the group which he could finally accept as a family. During the war with the Saviors, he finds out Negan is his father. This does not stop him from becoming a Commander in the Militia as he wages war against him. A year and a half later; Reece has begun a relationship with Rosita Espinosa which breaks off when he leaves after the 'death' of his father on the Bridge.

Five years later; Reece returns to the communities finding out he has a son called Taron, (named after his sister Tara) who was conceived with Rosita unknowingly before he left. In "Scars" he learns of Taron, he then plans to meet Rosita at the fayre to reconcile. Following "The Calm Before", Reece has fallen into another depression due to the loss of his sister Tara.

Reece valiantly led the effort against the Whisperers once the Coalition decided they could not live with the Borders anymore. During the war, he developed a close bond with Henry Peltier until he caused the death of Henry's father, Ezekiel, while attacked Alpha in revenge for his sister's death. Reece made up with Henry and Carol towards the end of the War and watched in horror as Carol blew herself and Beta up to end the War.

Following the Whisperer War; Reece and a small group depart from the Coalition to reach out and try to find communities to ally themselves with.

## Overview

In his first appearance Reece is shown to be a good person and rather mature for his age, although he has very obvious trust issues. He struggles to develop bonds to anyone in the group apart from Rick, who takes him under his wing. Reece proves his loyalty and compassion to the group when Dale is mortally wounded, prompting him to take on the heart-breaking task of mercifully ending Dale's life when no one else could, including; Rick, Shane and Daryl. This causes several others including Andrea and Lori to welcome him in.

Reece is also shown to be fairly cunning and manipulative when the situation calls for it. He lied to Shane, convincing him that he was prepared to kill Rick and side with him, only for him to turn on Shane when he is about to execute his best friend. Reece has also successfully convinced Deanna Monroe to allow the group to stay in Alexandria, after Rick and Pete's fight which caused her to consider kicking them out, as he persuaded her they wouldn't survive long without them or their survival skills.

Despite his tough childhood and years of surviving hardening him; Reece does have a very vulnerable and emotional side, especially when it comes to his past and family. When Carl dies, Reece begins to become a savage, showing no mercy to the saviors, a trait which he appeared to have picked up from his Adoptive-Father, Rick. This is shown again in the tenth season, when meeting Alpha at the border; Reece, who is still grieving from his sister, Tara's, death at the hands of the Leader of the Whisperers. When Alpha taunts him about Tara's final moments Reece lashes out and knocks Carol down, who is trying to stop him, he almost ends Alpha's life but instead kills one Whisperer before being detained by Jerry and Scott. This reckless behavior causes the death of Ezekiel, Carol's husband and his best friend, Henry's, father. This causes Carol and Henry to be cold and harsh towards Reece.

When Reece finds out Negan is his biological father; he is disgusted and ashamed, hiding it from Rick and Carl, eventually Negan tells them himself but they are supportive of him, reminding him, he is a Grimes.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Before the release of "Reece Chamber: A Walking Dead Tale, not much was known about Reece' life prior to his debut in "Triggerfinger". In the five-part Skybound game, it is revealed Reece was adopted by a friend of his real mother as soon as he was born as his mother died in childbirth and Neil Aegan, his birth father, had disappeared.

Reece grew up in the Chamber family, who lived in England while he was younger, before moving back to America around his 13th Birthday where they sent him to a boarding school for challenged boys. He followed his education there until he was 16 when the Apocalypse began. He failed to make it back home before the world collapsed and was left to his own devices with his fellow surviving students.

Reece and a boy named Lewis were both respected as leaders with Lewis calling Reece out on risky decisions which were scaring kids and Reece retaliating, stating he was the only one prepared to make the harsh decisions. Eventually, Lewis messed up causing Walkers to get in and kill almost one hundred of the surviving students. Reece then executed Lewis for his decision which a lot of the students backed him up on. They later found out that Lewis was bitten and wanted to take everyone else down with him.

Reece and the others survived for half a year in the school before it was surrounded by a horde, the group of twenty split up with nine of them following Reece in a mission through the horde using Walker guts as a way to disguise their smell. When things go wrong and Reece' best friend causes his girlfriend to get bit, everyone loses each other and Reece flees with his girlfriend before putting her down out of mercy.

Eventually, Reece reached home but was devastated to find no trace of the Chamblers. He headed out towards Atlanta but ended up running into a group in macon who were under attack by another group.

Suddenly, Reece reappears behind Randall and stabs him in the arm, Nate and the other member of his group drive off as they can't wait for Randall any longer due to the horde of walkers.

When Rick prepares to execute Randall, Reece watches on before telling Carl and Lori to go inside, Shane demands that everyone stays and watches what is about to happen because everyone here is too weak for this world and that they need to change.

		- Reece has actually appeared 51 episodes in a row, more than double any other character.

	+ Prior to "Triggerfinger" he changed it to Chambler when he was adopted by the Chambler family.
	+ In "Made to Suffer" he changes his name to Grimes to properly join the Grimes family.
	+ In "Amid the Ruins" he reveals to Negan he considers his name to be Reece Chambler-Grimes.
	+ Upon meeting Pamela in "New faces and New Problems" he introduces himself again as Reece Grimes.
* Reece is the third person in any Walking Dead canon to become the protagonist of their respective media after another person has been protagonist.
	+ Clementine was the first taking it from Lee Everett in Season 2 of the Video Games.
		- Javier Garcia is the third taking it from Clementine in Season 3 of the Video Games.
* Despite being the shows protagonist and having the most appearances, Reece has only ever directly killed one main character, Dale Horvath.
	+ Even then, Reece only killed Dale out of Mercy after he had been mortally wounded.
	+ However, he has caused the deaths of the most characters; Glenn Rhee, for punching Negan; Gregory, he kicked the horse which allowed Gregory to hang; all pike victims, Ozzy, Alec, D.J., Frankie, Addy, Rodney, Enid, Gabriel and Tara, for stealing Lydia back; Ezekiel, for attacking Alpha.
		- He technically is part of the reason Maggie Rhee had to do a Cesarean on Lori Grimes, which caused her death, without any training as he got split up from the group which meant he couldn't get her to safety.
* Reece is the current owner of Rick's Revolver after Judith gifts it to him saying that it's too heavy for her.
* Reece is the first person from Europe to appear on the show.
* Reece is the current leader of the Atlanta Survivor Group (Rick's Group), despite never being present in Atlanta.
	+ Ironically, Reece has been responsible for the most deaths in the Atlanta Group having killed three and being part of the reason why three others are dead.
		- Reece directly caused the deaths of Dale, Glenn and Morales.
		- Reece wasn't present to help move Lori Grimes to a safe place for the baby to be born, meaning Maggie had to operate quickly, killing her.
		- Reece betrayed Shane to save Rick which lead to Rick killing him.
		- Reece also was unable to assist Daryl Dixon in fighting Dwight which lead to his death.
* Reece was created for the show as a mix of Michonne, Rick, Carl and Sophia.
	+ The reason for his creation according to Scott Gimple is that "We were unable to initially secure the rights to use Michonne in the show, therefore we wanted a sword wielding character. We also wanted an adopted child for one of the main characters and gave that role to Reece as Sophia was dead already."
	+ It was also revealed that Maggie and Glenn were going to be the ones who adopted him but the age gap was too small and thus he was adopted by Rick and Lori instead.
* Reece was originally meant to die in the finale episode of the series and was meant to get Rick Grimes' comic book death but Calum Kelmer, and Jeffery Dean-Morgan, requested it be given to Negan as he wanted to continue on in a spin-off series.
