!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Tommie Mack Turvey (Bank Robber #1), Chick Bernhardt (Bank Robber #2), Brent Bernhard (Bank Robber #3)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 1)

A trio of bank robbers who are pursued by the King County Sheriff's Department at the start of the pilot episode. Though they are extremely minor characters in the grand scheme of things, their foiled robbery leads to Rick being shot in the back and ensures that he is asleep in the hospital while the start of the apocalypse is underway.

* AssholeVictim: All of them, though Robber #3 deserves a special mention for shooting Rick.
* BadassesWearBandanas: Downplayed with Robber #3, who is the only one of the group to wear a bandana. Unlike his comrades who are quickly killed, he manages to do a little damage to one of the officers who ran them off the road (Rick). However, it's out of a cowardly, last-ditch effort more than anything, and he's immediately shot in the chest by Rick's partner Shane for his trouble.
* CharacterDeath: All three are gunned down by the King County police.
* ForWantOfANail: If Robber #3 hadn't shot Rick, the events of the series would have turned out ''very'' differently. A hallucination of Shane lampshades this while talking to Rick in "What Comes After".
-->'''Shane:''' That third man changed everything, didn't he?
* MultipleGunshotDeath: Robber #1 is killed by a hail of bullets from the King County police.

* KilledOffscreen: He dies sometime between the beginning and the end of the episode, but we never see it.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appears in the episode "Clear." He is revisited in “What We Become”, a Season 10 episode in which Michonne, suffering a horrible drug trip, imagines herself in his place as the orange backpack-wearing survivor begging for Rick’s help.

** He is also similar to Shane, being a [[BaldOfEvil bald]] [[NumberTwo second-in-command]] to a reasonable brunette man that he was once very close to and whom he often butts heads with.

* TooDumbToLive: Bizarrely, he doesn't even seem to realize he's in the middle of an apocalypse. He completely ignores Rick when he points out there are walkers outside his cabin; instead, he tries to make a dash for the door, which only earns him a katana blade through the back from Michonne.

* SanitySlippage: She has clearly become unhinged, as Rick discovers when her husband is just his decapitated walker head.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Killed in her first appearance.

[[folder:Ana]]
!!''Ana''
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/BrinaPalencia
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Adelaida López (Spanish dub), Ayumi Nagao (Japanese dub), Julia Kaufmann (German dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 4)

A girl Rick and Carol found hiding in a house while they were looking for medical supplies. She's quite inexperienced with walkers and has managed to stay unusually optimistic with the help of her boyfriend Sam. They are on the verge of joining Rick's group when they are attacked by walkers, and Ana is quickly killed and eaten thanks to her badly healed leg.

* BuryYourDisabled: Her leg didn't heal well after she got trampled, meaning if she was ever chased by walkers, she wouldn't make it very far, so this combined with the fact that Rick was hesitant to add more people to the group made it unlikely that she was going to last long after leaving the house she was hiding in. Sure enough, it’s strongly implied this is indeed what got her killed when Rick and Carol find her leg separated from her body.
* CanonForeigner: She never appeared in the comics.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Due to her badly-healed leg.
* DevouredByTheHorde[=/=]KilledOffScreen: Rick and Carol finds her badly-healed leg severed from her body and the rest of her being devoured by walkers.
* KillTheCutie: Ana, who is as cute as [[Series/GilmoreGirls Rory]] gets eaten in her first appearance.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Takes six shots just to kill one walker.
* LoveInterest: For Sam, who saved her after she was trampled.
* ThePollyanna: For someone trying to survive the zombie apocalypse with a bum leg, she's oddly optimistic.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Dies in the same episode she was introduced.

[[folder:Sam]]
!!''Sam''
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/RobinLordTaylor
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Iván Jara (Spanish dub), Jeffrey Wipprecht (German dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 4-5)

A young man Rick and Carol find with a dislocated arm who was hiding out with his girlfriend Ana. He's unusually trusting and optimistic. After losing Ana to walkers and losing contact with Rick and Carol, he embarks on a quest to find sanctuary at Terminus, only to end up butchered by the community of cannibals, his faith in humanity proven horribly, horribly wrong in his final moments.

* CanonForeigner: He never appeared in the comics.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After being captured by Terminus, he gets his head bashed in by an aluminum bat, and then gets his throat slit and bleeds out into a trough.
* TheCutie: Like his girlfriend, he's unusually optimistic and trusting.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He evidently went on an adventure to find Terminus after Ana was killed. However...
** ShootTheShaggyDog: It's rendered meaningless when he's brutally killed by the Terminus butchers only a few seconds after reappearing.
* KillTheCutie: He's slaughtered like a pig by the Terminus residents in the opening scene of Season 5.
* NotUsingTheZWord: He and Ana call zombies "skin-eaters."
* SacrificialLamb: The very first casualty of Season 5. As an added GutPunch he's killed only a few seconds after making his reintroduction.
* SlashedThroat: After being hit in the head by a bat, a Termite cuts his throat over a trough.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome[=/=]BackForTheDead: He's the first casualty of Season 5, having been captured and then slaughtered like a pig by Terminus during the opening. Rick recognizes him and is unable to help him.
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: He seemed to believe in this.
* TookALevelInIdealism: After the outbreak happened, he began to like people more and became more trusting of them as well.
* WideEyedIdealist: Oddly, he claims to like people more now in the ZombieApocalypse, instead of being mistrustful or weary of them like most other survivors. Considering his fate, he [[WrongGenreSavvy should've thought better]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: He seems to believe that the apocalypse brings out the best in people. Terminus proves him wrong the ''hard'' way.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"I've come to believe that all life is precious. That's why we're having oatmeal burgers."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JohnCarrollLynch
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Pedro Tena (Spanish dub), Kotaro Nakamura (Japanese dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 6)

->''"We're not built to kill. We don't have claws, fangs or armor. Vets, they came back with PTSD. That didn't happen because we're comfortable with killing. We're not. We can't be. We feel. We're connected."''

A survivor who Morgan encountered after leaving King County.

* ActualPacifist: He swore a solemn vow to not kill another living thing, even in self-defense. Although this trope is downplayed in that he will fight if he's forced to, his emphasis on Aikido means that even when defending himself he's usually just minimizing harm to his opponents in favor of simply redirecting their attacks away from himself.
* AlliterativeName: Both his first and last names start with an E.
* TheAloner: His only companion after the death of his family is a goat, Tabitha.
* TheAtoner: As penance for allowing a man to starve to death in a cell, he now adheres to ThouShaltNotKill.
* BerserkButton: The one time he actually gets visibly pissed off with Morgan's initial self-destructive behavior is when he breaks a painting his late daughter did.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Eastman was a caring, gentle father and husband who could see the good in just about everyone. When one of his patients murdered his family, he locked him in a cell and watched him starve to death for over 40 days.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* CombatMedic: He was a forensic psychiatrist before the apocalypse, and can also handle himself in combat thanks to his skill in ''aikido''.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's nothing new for ''The Walking Dead'', admittedly. Though, unlike most others, his tragedy took place ''before'' the ZombieApocalypse.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has a dry wit to him.
* DeathByOriginStory: The origin story in this case being the origin of Morgan's current ideology.
* TheDeterminator: When the apocalypse started, he trekked through ''thirty miles'' of walker infested territory back to his house just so he could find the framed drawing his daughter had made for him.
* DrivenToSuicide: Implied to have shot himself in the head - or maybe had Morgan do it - after he's bitten.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Accepts his fate with remarkable grace after getting bitten. He even tells Morgan that he's "ready" to die.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: The philosophy of [[ThouShallNotKill aikido]] doesn't just apply to humans. Eastman is a vegetarian and even has a pet goat named Tabitha. When she is eaten by walkers he is clearly devastated.
* HeroicSacrifice: When Morgan freezes up while fighting a walker, Eastman pushes him out of the way and gets bitten instead.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He receives more characterization and backstory (and an incredibly interesting one at that) than many characters who had more appearances than him.
* MartialPacifist: He is the one who taught Morgan how to fight, but not kill, his enemies.
* TheMentor: To Morgan, helping him recover from his grief and insanity, and also training him in ''aikido''.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Ends up getting bitten by a walker while saving the life of his protegé Morgan.
* NiceGuy: One of the most genuinely good people in the entire series.
* PosthumousCharacter: Only appears in the flashback episode "Here's Not Here", and is dead by the end of it.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only ever appears in one episode, though everything that Morgan does from Season 5 on would not have happened without his intervention. It is very likely that [[ForWantOfANail Daryl and Aaron would have died had Morgan not happened across them]] in "Conquer," though everything after that point would be pure conjecture.
* TheSocialExpert: Seeing as he was a forensic psychiatrist before the apocalypse, he is fantastic at reading people and finding out what makes them tick.
* ThouShaltNotKill: He's where Morgan got his mindset from Season 5 onward.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: A kind, thoughtful person even after the ZombieApocalypse. Naturally, this means he gets killed.
* TragicKeepsake: A rabbit's foot that his daughter gave to him, and he passes it on to Morgan when he's dying.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Subverted in that while he dies in his first and only appearance, he's heavily fleshed out and is a major character in said episode.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: He is wearing a white shirt when he gets bitten.
* ZombieInfectee: Gets bitten on the abdomen by a walker, and either kills himself or is given a MercyKill by Morgan because of it.

[[folder:Tabitha]]
!!''Tabitha''
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Ruby

A goat owned by Eastman. During Morgan’s extended stay with Eastman, she escapes her pen and is killed and eaten by walkers.

[[folder:Crighton Dallas Wilton]]

!!''Crighton Dallas Wilton''

->''"Crighton Dallas Wilton went to my home and killed my wife, my daughter, and my son. He walked down the street to the police station around the corner covered in their blood. He surrendered. Said the only reason he broke out was to destroy my life."''
--> -- '''Eastman'''

A criminal who murdered Eastman's family shortly before the onset of the apocalypse. Of the 825 patients he interviewed throughout his career, Eastman cites Wilton as the only truly evil person he ever encountered.
