Characters We've Met So Far
Rick's Camp
A camp of survivors led by ex-Deputy Rick Grimes from King County, somewhere north of Atlanta. The group is currently heading towards Fort Benning – or possibly Florida – in search of more survivors and supplies. The group is somewhat broken and distrustful of their leader, Rick, who has recently exerted control over the formerly democratic group, but they are learning that in order to survive, they need to trust Rick and let him be their leader. The group has been separated recently due to the War of the Hunters between Meagan's group and Michael's group.
Rick Grimes – An ex-cop country boy turned stone hard zombie killer. After having killed his best friend, with whom his wife was sleeping, he has grown cold. Now distant with his wife, his son, and everyone, he is trying to do whatever it takes to survive – and to ensure that his now pregnant wife and son survive as well. At the end of Part I, Rick Grimes learns that Daryl Dixon is being held captive by someone from Rick's past. He resolves that it is his duty to put the group back together and decides to travel to The Rock, Georgia so he can do just that.
Daryl Dixon – Redneck meets crossbow. A wild, motorcycle-driving, slightly racist charmer from Georgia, Daryl is adept at hunting and provides the group with a vast majority of its food source, as well as a majority of the group's badassery. Drives a cool motorcycle, has a sweet, softer side, and is searching for his brother, Merle. Quickly becoming Rick's right-hand-man and a staple of the group. He is best at long-range combat and uses a crossbow to do most of his killing.
As of the end of Part I, Daryl is living comfortably within the walls of The Rock. He does not know that he is being used as bait to lure Rick Grimes to The Rock.
Hershel Green – A strong Christian who's not afraid to shoot a gun. Hershel is the older, and naturally wiser member of the group. Currently growing a beard. Vet-turned-doctor, Hershel has been married twice, and is the proud father of two teenage daughters who he would die to protect. Whereas others in the group are not the most trusting of Rick's new leadership position (Ricktatorship), Hershel trusts Rick completely and encourages others to do the same.
As of the end of Part I, Hershel is being held prisoner by George in Key Hill Valley Mental Institution.
Lori Grimes – Lori is Rick's wife, and Carl's mother. Following the Walker outbreak, she was separated from her husband, and she and her son relied on Rick's best friend, Shane, for survival. Lori was in an affair with Shane, and his death at the hands of Rick (and Carl, who leant a hand) has somewhat devastated her. She has grown distant from her husband but is working on patching things up – after all. She's pregnant now, but nobody quite knows who the father is. While she's not much of a fighter, especially given that she's pregnant, she is good at doing domestic work – cleaning and cooking around the camp.
As of the end of Part I, Lori is traveling with her son and Beth Greene, looking for refuge, having been separated from the rest of their group.
Theodore (AKA T-Dog) – The coolest black dude in the group. Wait. Make that the only black dude in the group. Fairly quiet, T-Dog prefers to listen and not to speak. But don't let that fool you. On the inside, he's a mean, keen killing machine who can take out walkers like nobody's business. T-Dog may not always agree with Rick, but feels he owes Rick his life after Rick saved him from Daryl's crazy, racist brother, Merle, back in Atlanta. He is best at close combat.
As of the end of Part I, T-Dog is traveling with Rick to The Rock to rescue Daryl.
Carol – Well… She's Carol. Sometimes mistaken for a lesbian due to her short hair cut, Carol is a middle-aged woman who has lost her daughter, as well as her abusive husband, since the start of the zombie apocalypse. Because she's lost so much, she has the hardest time trusting Rick out of anyone in the group. However; she knows she would not fair any better alone, so she tries to put her differences with Rick aside for the betterment of the group. A conservative and a very strong Christian, she sometimes has a harder time accepting the new blood-soaked world around her. She tries to focus her energy into helping others, and is learning anything she can from Hershel about medical affairs.
As of the end of Part I, Carol is traveling with Rick to The Rock to rescue Daryl.
Glenn – A young asian man, and formerly a pizza-delivery-boy. He was in Atlanta during the beginning of the outbreak, and ended up with the rest of Rick's group. His primary skill is speed and stealth – he can get in quickly, get whatever is needed, and get out. His girlfriend is Maggie, Hershel's eldest daughter.
Maggie Green – Hershel's elder daughter. A young twenty-something, she is a badass gunslinger who works best with a shotgun. While she's only been shooting a few months, she's gotten the hang of it fairly quickly, and she's a real cowgirl at heart. Wild with a passionate side, you'd be wise not to piss her off.
Beth Green – A sixteen year old, blonde haired cutie, Beth is one of the youngest of the group. She is quite shy, recovering from depression, and is not adapt at weaponry. In many ways, she's the polar opposite of her half-sister, Maggie. Still, she does her best to be helpful, and enjoys spending time with her older sister, Glenn, and Carl.
As of the end of Part I, Beth is traveling with Lori and Carl, looking for refuge.
Carl Grimes – The youngest of the group, Carl is only thirteen years old, but in many ways, he's a spitting image of his father. That's not to say he doesn't get anything from his mother, either, though – Carl may be a fighter and a leader-in-training at heart, but he's also a lover who will do whatever it takes to protect those around him. All this while dealing with puberty during the zombie apocalypse – it must be hard, but hey, what's a kid going to do?
As of the end of Part I, Carl is traveling with his mom and Beth, looking for refuge.
The Rock Characters
Not much is known about The Rock. It seems to be a city protected from the outbreak by massive walls. Daryl is being kept here as bait to lure Rick Grimes into the city.
Enrique – A childhood friend of Daryl's, he formerly went by the name of Carlos. He is Guatemalan. He was serving in Afghanistan when the Outbreak began and barely made it out alive. He seems to be in a position of great power in The Rock.
The Sheriff – Rick Grimes' former employer. Not much is known about him, but he seems to be in a position of great power in The Rock. He was fond of the quote, "If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging."
Evans – A strange man with unknown allegiances, formerly part of Meagan's group. He claimed to have served overseas with Michael in a war before the Outbreak and he may have been a double-agent planted by Michael in Meagan's group. He also seems to be part of the command structure at The Rock.
Alex's Camp
A specialized class of warriors known as hunters – they use the scent of Walkers to attract other Walkers which they capture and track, hoping those walkers lead them to supplies or even food. Led by an ambitious man named Alex, the group's current location is unknown.
Alex – Alex probably grew up in Georgia, and speaks with a thick, southern accent. He has scars across his face, of unknown origin. He has a soft spot in his heart, which can sometimes get him into trouble. He was part of the crew that kidnapped Daryl during Part I: The Hunting Grounds. He has since united the remnants of Michael's camp and Meagan's camp and is leading them into places unknown.
Dani – A liberated sex prisoner from Michael's camp, Dani was one of a number of girls being held captive as a weapon because she had herpes. Michael used her to spread the sexual disease to his enemies. Before the outbreak, Dani was an aspiring actress, studying theater at a local college. She is presumed to have been freed by Alex along with the other girls and her current location is unknown.
Alex's Sister – Like Dani, Alex's Sister was one of Michael's sex prisoners. She is presumed to have been freed by Alex at the end of Day 4. Her current location is unknown.
Vinny – An elderly man who was part of Meagan's camp. Led the evacuation effort during Day 4.
Lucille – Vinny's daughter-in-law, a middle-aged woman. She is somewhat secretive, much like her husband. Not much is known about her.
Jacob – George and Lucille's son. He is about Carl's age. Not much else is known about him.
Meagan's Camp
A camp of hunters which moved into the county which Michael's hunting grounds are located on just a few months ago. Formerly led by Paul, they took up a part of the county that Michael's men did not usually hunt in, but Michael still launched an attack, killing two of the camp's men. Most of Meagan's camp are missing and are presumed to be with Alex's camp. Those who remain under the leadership of Meagan are the most fit and battle-ready of the group. Their future is uncertain, but when we last saw them at the end of Part I: The Hunting Grounds, they had occupied the city near their camp grounds and had free reign over the entire county.
Hershel remarked that there was something strange about this group, such as their large stockpile of weapons.
Meagan – A sexy bombshell of a woman, compared by Carl to cat-woman. She was dating Paul, the leader of the group, and seems to be very capable – enough so that she isn't afraid to go camping without a partner, for a week, alone in the woods. Somewhat sarcastic and spunky, Meagan cares about those around her – she has a hard time letting people in, but when she does, she will value those people. She was severely wounded in the war against Michael, but is expected to make a full recovery.
Paul – Drove an Acura. Was the leader of the camp, and brought them to the county that Michael's hunting grounds are located in so that they might find a more rich source of food. Apparently did drugs, as evidenced by the white powder found in his car. Dated Meagan. Was killed when trying to run Rick's group off the road in order to raid them for supplies.
Jackson – A quiet man, Jackson was very strong and had the body and mind of a warrior. Died in Day 4 during the Battle Of Two Hills Forest.
