The Walking Dead: 12 Best Cult Heroes
6. Morgan
Morgan is one of the first characters we meet on the show, and the man who explains to Rick what has happened to the world. It’s shown that while he and his son have survived, his wife was turned into a zombie, but he cannot bring himself to kill her properly.
He separates from Rick in Season 1, before resurfacing in Season 3 a changed man. He’s lost his son, and also his sanity, not even knowing who Rick is. Once again they go their separate ways, before he started to make appearances in Season 5 at the end of episodes, shown to be mercifully killing walkers, and on the trail of Rick’s group.
We finally started to see more of him towards the end, seeing that he is capable of causing some real damage with his staff, even if he’s still reluctant to kill. He’s shown as being the opposite to Rick, a calm, zen-master like figure, but similarly capable of being a leader. Based on the way Season 5 ended, and the trailer for Season 6, there’s going to be some conflict between the pair going forward.
