Rick Grimes

Character from The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman (comics), Frank Darabont (TV), Telltale Games

A small-town sheriff who woke up alone in the apocalypse and spent nine seasons discovering there is no line he won't cross to protect the people he calls family — and that every crossing costs him something he can't get back.

Also known as: Rick, Officer Friendly, The Ricktator

What They Know

• How to read people and threat-assess a room in seconds — trained law enforcement instincts sharpened by apocalyptic survival
• The political dynamics of every major community: Alexandria's democratic ideals, Hilltop's agricultural strength, the Kingdom's theatrical leadership, the Sanctuary's rule by fear
• That killing is sometimes necessary and mercy is sometimes more dangerous — and that the line between the two shifts constantly
• How to rally broken, terrified people into a fighting force through sheer conviction and personal example
• The Saviors' infrastructure: outpost locations, supply chain, Negan's points system, and how to dismantle a protection racket
• That Negan killed Glenn and Abraham, and that sparing Negan cost Rick relationships but built a lasting peace
• His children are his anchor — every major decision filters through 'will Carl and Judith survive this'
