The Walking Dead: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best
16. Morgan Jones
Appearances: Season 1, 3, 5-8 (34 episodes).
Morgan holds the distinction of being the first person Rick Grimes encounters after emerging from his coma, and shares with him the secrets of the new world.
Brought to life by the madly underrated and extremely powerful Lennie James, Morgan disappears after the first episode, reappearing sporadically until becoming a main character in season six, at which time his fragile mental state has taken a massive hit.
Murderous, peaceable, haunted -- Morgan struggled to adapt to the challenges around him, and constantly butted heads with his allies as he battled for his soul. He was occasionally repetitive before moving onto Fear the Walking Dead, but at his best there were few characters with more depth or compelling baggage.
