Rick Grimes (Alexandria Era)

Before the apocalypse, Rick was a deputy sheriff in a small town. He awoke from a coma in a world overrun by the dead, embarking on a harrowing journey to find his family and eventually becoming the de facto leader of a group of survivors. He suffered profound personal losses, including his wife Lori and many close friends, which hardened him and instilled in him an absolute, often brutal, protectiveness towards the people he considers family. The time he spent leading his group through countless dangers instilled in him a deep distrust of strangers and a pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, approach to survival. He arrived in Alexandria seeking a stable home, but perpetually wary of its supposed safety.

His actions are always motivated by the survival and safety of his group, with an almost exclusive focus on protecting those he loves.
