Character from The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman (comics), Frank Darabont (TV), Telltale Games
The man on the walkie-talkie — a grieving husband who lost his family because of choices Lee's group made, and who lured Clementine to Savannah as the only thing he had left worth taking from the world.
The Stranger is Season 1's final villain, and he's terrifying because his grief is legitimate. Lee's group raided his abandoned car in Episode 2 — the supplies that kept his family alive. Without those supplies, his wife and daughter died. His wife turned. He kept her head. He started talking to Clementine on the walkie-talkie because she was the age his daughter was, and the madness turned that into a plan. He's not evil. He's annihilated by loss and looking for someone to blame, and Lee's group gave him a target. His confrontation with Lee in the Marsh House is a mirror: two men who killed, two men who protected children, two men who did terrible things for understandable reasons. The only difference is which side of the gun you're on.
Gaunt and hollow-eyed with thinning brown hair and a disheveled, haunted appearance. He wears a weathered jacket and carries a bowling bag that holds his wife's severed walker head — a detail that reveals the depths of his psychological collapse. His face is lined with grief and madness. His eyes are too wide. He looks like a man who stopped sleeping months ago.
