| 17 | |
| 18 | An agricultural community in rural West Virginia close to the Alexandria Safe-Zone. It comes under the leadership of Atlanta veteran Maggie Rhee who takes up residence there full-time, and becomes a major member of the Coalition. After the Commonwealth Revolution, Hilltop expands into a secondary location known as "The Bricks." |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * AgriWorld: Among the communities, Hilltop stands out as being the most productive provider of food and crops. Hilltop has a lot of space to grow actual grain crops. They also raise livestock, so they have chicken and cow products (eggs, milk, butter, meat if they can spare an animal). This is in contrast to the specializations of the other communities - Alexandria doesn’t grow as much food, but has more weapons and technology such as solar panels, while the Kingdom has more raw manpower. |
| 21 | * {{Arcadia}}: Very rural and agrarian compared to Alexandria. The main surplus resource they have to trade is food - which Alexandria greatly needs. |
| 22 | * BigFancyHouse: Barrington House, an opulent colonial mansion that was formerly a historic landmark and museum, is now Hilltop Colony's central headquarters. |
| 23 | * TheBlacksmith: Hilltop has blacksmiths who forge their weapons, headed by Earl Sutton. |
| 24 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Season 9 revolves heavily around the community’s revolving door of leadership and the struggles it creates. The conflict with the Whisperers officially begins at Hilltop, and it ends up absorbing the Kingdom once it falls into disrepair. |
| 25 | * DeepSouth: As a backwoods rural community where most of the residents live in a trailer park, it certainly gives off vibes of this (though the "trailers" are standard-issue FEMA prefab shelters). |
| 26 | * DwindlingParty: As of Season 10, Bertie is the only original (named) resident confirmed to still be alive. |
| 27 | * GoodOldWays: Parts of the community look just like a living history farm. |
| 28 | * GunsVsSwords: When Rick’s group first meets them, the people of Hilltop don't have any guns, and have to make do with edged weapons such as [[JavelinThrower spears]]. Compared to the heavily armed Saviors, they wouldn't stand a chance. They have a few guns to wave at newcomers, but Jesus explains that they completely ran out of ammunition long ago. They eventually attain firearms through their alliance with the other communities. |
| 29 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Hilltop enjoyed several years as the most prosperous member of the Coalition, producing enough surplus food to feed other communities, specializing in blacksmithing, and having the most defensible position in regard to location and encampment. However, the events of the Whisperer War - taking in the Kingdom’s considerable numbers, a tree falling on its walls, and ultimately the Battle of Hilltop - reduce it to a charred shell of what it once was. In mid-Season 11, it’s manned by a skeleton crew of people who live in constant fear of walkers, have barely enough food to go around, and are unable to repair the community without aid from the Commonwealth. |
| 30 | * LastStand: |
| 31 | ** In late Season 8, Hilltop becomes the sole community occupied by AHK, as Alexandria is sacked and burned, and the Kingdom is abandoned to the Saviors. After the war, Alexandria and the Kingdom are repopulated and rebuilt. |
| 32 | ** The defenders of Hilltop make a stand when Alpha’s horde arrives to wipe out the community, despite no hope of reinforcements and the sheer numbers at Alpha’s command. |
| 33 | * {{Leitmotif}}: The setting is accompanied by [[https://youtu.be/OzomGmxki5c?t=1m2s a twangy banjo theme]] that gives it a distinctly southern feel. |
| 34 | * PuppetState: Hilltop has been subjugated by the Saviors, and the residents are forced to regularly make a tribute, consisting of half their supplies, under the threat of violence. |
| 35 | * RevolvingDoorCasting: TheLeader position has switched three times in Season 9. Maggie leaves by the time of the second TimeSkip leaving Jesus in-charge. Jesus was then killed during the debut of the Whisperers, handing the reins to Tara. Tara is then subsequently killed by the Whisperers as well. In Season 10, Yumiko finds herself stepping up as the de facto leader of the community, but she too leaves to join the Commonwealth mission. The Hilltop survivors join up under Gabriel and Daryl’s leadership, and later fall back under Maggie upon her return. |
| 36 | * TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Rick's group agrees to save the Hilltop from the Saviors. They don't start properly training them until Maggie, Sasha, and Enid take up residence at Hilltop full-time. It pays off in the season 7 finale, as Maggie leads a sizable group of Hilltop denizens into battle with naught a seen casualty. |
| 37 | * TraumaCongaLine: Yumiko mentions in the Season 9 finale that Hilltop is deeply shaken from losing both Jesus and Tara in such quick succession, even months after the latter’s death. |
| 38 | * YouAreInCommandNow: Subverted after the deaths of Jesus and Tara. The combined Hilltop/Kingdom survivors have no one leader, with the council and other veterans like Alden and Earl more or less handling the situation. In Season 10, Yumiko begins stepping up to take over, but after the fall of Hilltop she joins Eugene’s mission to West Virginia. The displaced survivors join up with Alexandria under Gabriel and Daryl’s leadership. In Season 11, Maggie retakes command of the community after the Reaper conflict. |
| 39 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: Hilltop is sacked and burned by the Whisperers in Season 10 during the Whisperer War, forcing its survivors to flee. However, prior to the battle, some characters are optimistic they’d be able to rebuild even if the community fell, so they may return someday. After the defeat of the Reapers in Season 11, Maggie begins trying to rebuild the colony, though it’s pointed out to her that rebuilding will likely not be possible without accepting aid and resources from the Commonwealth. Maggie finally admits that Hilltop is likely beyond saving by the time Lance makes his move on the Coalition’s communities, willingly detonating a bomb in Barrington House and abandoning it to the Commonwealth’s aggression. [[spoiler:Thanks to the defeat of Lance and Pamela's removal from power, the community is eventually rebuilt and is shown flourishing once more with families living there in the series finale.]] |

| 61 | A man who encounters Rick and Daryl while the two are on a supply run in season 6. He is a highly competent survivor and Gregory's second in command at the Hilltop, often sent to scavenge supplies for his community. Jesus helps the gang plot their attack on the Saviors, only for Maggie and Sasha to arrive at Hilltop after the group has been defeated and subjugated by Negan. When Gregory proves unable to defend Hilltop from a Savior attack and tribute, Jesus forgoes any loyalty to him and begins grooming Maggie to take over Hilltop, which comes to fruition by the season 7 finale. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | During the Savior War, Jesus leads an assault in Simon’s outpost alongside Tara, and they clash as Jesus opts for sparing as many Saviors as possible, whereas Tara just wants to kill them all. Jesus ultimately wins out and convinces Maggie to spare and imprison their Savior POW’s. However, Jesus is upset when Rick decides to spare Negan, the one Savior he wanted dead, at the end of the war. Jesus is later put in charge of Hilltop by Maggie when she heads out west with Georgie, but hates being leader due to his lack of confidence in his abilities. Despite Aaron and Tara imploring him to take his responsibilities more seriously, Jesus never gets the chance as he is killed during a rescue mission by a walker revealed to be a Whisperer in disguise. |
| 64 | ---- |
| 65 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: He has to smile when Carl tricks him into jumping out of the Saviors' truck in "Sing Me A Song". |
| 66 | * AdaptationNameChange: His surname was Monroe in the comics. It was likely changed for the show to avoid confusion with the Monroe family from Alexandria. |
| 67 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: He's more willing to use trickery and violence to get what he wants than his comic counterpart. He's still a NiceGuy for the most part, though. |
| 68 | * AdaptationalBadass: He's more openly defiant of Gregory from the get-go in this version. |
| 69 | * ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to Rick and Daryl for stealing their supply truck. |
| 70 | * AuthorityInNameOnly: In Season 9 following the second TimeSkip, Jesus has been asked to lead Hilltop in Maggie's absence. However, he hates being leader and prefers staying outside the walls. He's more of a figurehead that the people know and trust, while Tara is the one doing the gritty work. |
| 71 | * BadassAndChildDuo: Subverted; the ending of "Go Getters" implies that Jesus and Carl will be infiltrating the Sanctuary together, but at the very beginning of "Sing Me A Song" Carl leaves him behind so he can face Negan alone. |
| 72 | * BadassLongcoat: Gives him a long, lanky look. |
| 73 | * BadassPacifist: He car jacks Rick and Daryl without even causing serious injury to them. Then in "Knots Untie," he manages to prevent a fight from breaking out in his colony with simple words of peace. |
| 74 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: A rare male example. Jesus is an attractive man who always does what's right and has the most moral standards compared to other survivors. |
| 75 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: For a polite pacifist, he sure knows how to kick ass. He's always willing to kill members of the Saviors when he has to. |
| 76 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He seems very playful with Rick and Daryl at first, but he's also capable of beating them in hand to hand combat. |
| 77 | * BothSidesHaveAPoint: He comes into debate with Maggie and Tara over his taking the satellite outpost Saviors as POW's. On one hand, the war was all but stated to be a campaign to utterly wipe out the Saviors and free their prisoners. It's understandable why Maggie and Tara would want to slaughter the Saviors considering they've lost their significant others to the Saviors. On the other hand, no one ever planned for the Saviors to actually ''surrender'' to them, and Jesus decided to take matters into his own hands and spare the Saviors who were smart enough to know they were outmatched. He does this not only to ensure his friends don't lose their humanity to vengeance, but also because he believes that since most of the Saviors only work for Negan because they have been either brainwashed or blackmailed by him into doing so, they can be redeemed. In a lot of their cases, he is proven correct. |
| 78 | * BrokenPedestal: Gregory finally becomes this to him after he witnesses his leader nearly screw over Maggie and Sasha to save his own hide. This allows Jesus to finally get more involved in combating the Saviors and go against Gregory. |
| 79 | * TheCameo: He briefly appears in the fourth season premiere of ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'', trying to convince Morgan to come to Hilltop with him. |
| 80 | * CelebrityResemblance: He LooksLikeJesus. |
| 81 | * CharacterDeath: Stabbed through the back by a Whisperer in "Evolution". |
| 82 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He's wearing all black in his debut appearance. |
| 83 | * DeadpanSnarker: When he wants to be. |
| 84 | * DeathByAdaptation: He is killed by a Whisperer in "Evolution", while his comic counterpart survives the entirety of the series. Due to the six-year TimeSkip on the show, however, he lived past the point that the Whisperers arc took place in the comics. |
| 85 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: Gets a bit more focus than usual in his last two episodes. |
| 86 | * DemotedToExtra: He's still a major character, but he receives less prominence in comparison to his comic counterpart who quickly became one of Rick's closest allies. He also suffers DeathByAdaptation, further robbing him of importance and screen time. |
| 87 | * {{Determinator}}: After Rick and Daryl try relentlessly to shake him off their trail, he keeps coming back for them. It even gets to the point where he hops on a truck roof to find where they're driving to. |
| 88 | * DidntSeeThatComing: He effortlessly dispatches several walkers that are closing in on the group and prepares to slash the last one down when, to his complete shock, it suddenly ''ducks'' and stabs him through the back, killing him. |
| 89 | * TheDitherer: In Season 9, he's not very interested in leading Hilltop since he doesn't think he has what it takes, so he delegates most of his responsibilities to Tara. |
| 90 | * DragonInChief: A rare ''heroic'' example. Jesus acts as NumberTwo to Gregory, but he's really the smart one running the colony. |
| 91 | * EscapeArtist: Manages to escape being tied up by Rick and Daryl in a matter of seconds. |
| 92 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first episode, he proves himself to be intelligent, crafty, agile, and very badass when he goes toe to toe with Rick and Daryl. |
| 93 | * EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Despite being an AllLovingHero who hates killing people and believes that any Saviors who surrender during the war should be given a chance to redeem themselves, he firmly believes that Negan, the man responsible for brainwashing or blackmailing all of his lackeys into doing what they have done, deserves to die for all the atrocities he's committed. He disapproves of Rick’s sparing Negan, and agrees with Maggie and Daryl’s plot to one day kill him behind Rick's back. |
| 94 | * FauxSymbolism: Lampshaded InUniverse. Daryl doesn't understand why Paul nicknamed himself Jesus and what its significance is. |
| 95 | * FireForgedFriends: Alexandria’s friendship with Jesus is solidified when he comes to their defense after he defends them from Hilltop’s guards and fights alongside them during the raid on the satellite outpost. |
| 96 | * {{Foil}}: To Gregory. Both of them have leadership positions within Hilltop, but while Gregory is an incompetent, cowardly {{Jerkass}} who doesn't fight, Jesus is a loyal, battle-hardened NiceGuy who immediately integrates himself with Rick's group. |
| 97 | * FosterKid: Mentions to Maggie that he was raised in a group home. |
| 98 | * GoodAllAlong: Downplayed, since Rick and Daryl realize he’s not evil by any means, but they quickly grow tired of his antics and trying to steal their supplies they’ve found for Alexandria. It takes an episode’s worth of Jesus vouching for them during negotiations with Hilltop and fighting alongside them before the group accepts him as one of their most stalwart allies. |
| 99 | * GoodCounterpart: To Dwight in Season 7. Both men are competent, second in command loyalists to a {{Jerkass}} leader who constantly abuses their trust and sends them out on dangerous missions scouting for them, while they just stand back and allow their leader's cruelty. However, Dwight initially appears to be completely okay with all of his leader's brutality and worships the ground he walks on (though deep down loathes Negan and later sees the error of his ways and redeems himself), while Jesus embraces his leader as the horrible person he really is and openly defies his decisions in favor of doing what's morally right. |
| 100 | * GoodVsGood: Ends up slugging it out with a mentally unstable, AxCrazy Morgan. |
| 101 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: It's hard to get a fix on him as he goes from being civil to Rick and Daryl one moment to trying to steal their stuff the next. Even in the midst of a struggle, however, he still warns Daryl about a walker closing in and shoots it before it can bite him, further calling his allegiance into question. "Knots Untie" establishes him as a heroic character, however, and one who ultimately sides with Rick and decides to join his plot to assassinate Negan. |
| 102 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He thinks very little of himself and openly tells Maggie and Sasha that he's not worthy of being a leader. |
| 103 | * HonestAdvisor: He frequently talks back to Gregory, who is too much of a pushover to do anything about it. |
| 104 | * HumblePie: Jesus doesn't think he has what it takes to act as TheLeader of Hilltop, so he allows Gregory to act as their leader instead. |
| 105 | * HypercompetentSidekick: He's the OnlySaneMan to the Hilltop Colony while Gregory is a LeaderWannabe. |
| 106 | * IconicOutfit: His signature longcoat and beanie. |
| 107 | * IconicSequelCharacter: Doesn't appear in the series until Season 6. |
| 108 | * InnocentBlueEyes: He LooksLikeJesus with them. |
| 109 | * InTheBack: He dies being stabbed in the back by a Whisperer. |
| 110 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 111 | ** A man named Jesus steals from others and uses trickery to get what he wants. He also lacks the leadership abilities of Jesus Christ, and straight up kills a Savior at one point. |
| 112 | ** In Season 9, he has become a heroic version of Gregory - he's the leader of Hilltop, but he doesn't really do too much of the work that a leader has to do, with Tara taking his place as the HyperCompetentSidekick actually doing most of the work. |
| 113 | * TheLancer: To Gregory. Jesus is [[HypercompetentSidekick far more competent than him]], though. He retains the position of second-in-command of the community when Maggie takes over Hilltop. To both leaders, he offers contrasting viewpoints - for Gregory, because he's too incompetent and needs the advice to keep his head on straight; for Maggie, because he often disagrees with her ruthlessness. |
| 114 | * TheLeader: Maggie is revealed to have left with Georgie at some point during the second TimeSkip in Season 9, forcing Jesus to take over leadership of Hilltop. He's not exactly thrilled about it, though. |
| 115 | * LightningBruiser: He's extremely quick and can take both Rick and Daryl in a fight. The Whisperer that killed him only succeeded in doing so because Jesus was caught off-guard. |
| 116 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: A handsome, youthful-looking man with long brown hair. |
| 117 | * LooksLikeJesus: With the beard and long hair, he bears quite the resemblance. Hence the nickname (though Daryl is utterly befuddled by it at first, and Magna’s group wonders if Hilltop is a cult). |
| 118 | * MadeOfIron: Doesn't come off too bad from being knocked off of a moving truck. |
| 119 | * MartialPacifist: He doesn't want to kill people, but he will attack them in self-defense as Rick and Daryl quickly figure out. |
| 120 | * MomentKiller: When Rick and Michonne are tenderly cuddling in bed after entering their relationship with a passionate night together, Jesus wakes them up. |
| 121 | * MoralityChain: The only one who can (marginally) appeal to Gregory's good side is Jesus. That is, until "The Other Side". |
| 122 | * NiceGuy: Hands down one of the most decent people introduced in the series. Although he does antagonize Rick and Daryl when they first meet, it's for the good of his community and he ultimately doesn't outright harm them. |
| 123 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His fight with Rick and Daryl ends with the supply truck all three of them were after sinking to the bottom of a river. |
| 124 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: PlayedForLaughs more than anything, but he ''did'' barge into Rick and Michonne’s bedroom after they had very clearly had a passionate night together. |
| 125 | * NumberTwo: Technically is this to Gregory, but Jesus is by far the [[HypercompetentSidekick most trustworthy and skilled person in his community]]. |
| 126 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He manages to escape his holding cell, get past Daryl and several guards, and successfully break into Rick's house without anybody noticing. |
| 127 | * OneManArmy: He wipes the floor with Rick and Daryl in a brief hand-to-hand fight, only losing the upper hand when the two of them are able to grab their guns. Overall, Jesus's skills in combat and stealth make him virtually unstoppable to most people. |
| 128 | * OnlySaneMan: When Rick's group arrives at the Hilltop, Jesus is forced to serve as the mediator between their ruthless pragmatism and Gregory's cowardly incompetence. |
| 129 | * PosthumousCharacter: He makes a brief appearance in a flashback a few episodes after his death. |
| 130 | * PragmaticHero: He tricks Rick and Daryl in order to take their supplies, but it's all for the good of his community. |
| 131 | * RousseauWasRight: Jesus had no way of knowing it would end up being the case, but almost all of the 39 Saviors he took as POW’s turned out to be decent people willing to defect to AHK after being shown mercy. |
| 132 | * SacrificialLion: His death serves as a bloody introduction to the Whisperers. |
| 133 | * TheScrounger: One of his jobs seems to be gathering supplies for the community. This is particularly important because the Saviors will slaughter the Hilltop if they're not given the amount of supplies they want. |
| 134 | * SixthRanger: Jesus is the most frequently seen non-Alexandrian to fight alongside Rick and his group, such as during the raid on Oceanside. |
| 135 | * TheSmartGuy: He's the wisest of his group. |
| 136 | * TheSneakyGuy: Manages to steal Rick's car keys, climb on top of their truck, and escape from Denise's house and into Rick's house completely undetected. Later on he's able to sneak into the Savior outpost and kill several of them without being seen. |
| 137 | * TheStarscream: A heroic example. He spends all of Season 7 grooming Maggie to replace Gregory as the leader of Hilltop. |
| 138 | * StealthHiBye: Appears on top of a truck driven by the Saviors in one shot, then completely disappears the next time the camera shows the truck, without anyone except Daryl noticing where or when he left. |
| 139 | * StraightGay: There's no indication of his sexuality until he nonchalantly brings up his past boyfriends to Maggie in "The Other Side". |
| 140 | * ThouShaltNotKill: During the war with the Saviors, he's unwilling to kill Saviors if they don't have to, as he recognizes that they are only following Negan's orders because they don't feel they have a choice, as Negan has brainwashed or blackmailed them all into serving him. This nearly costs him his life, as Dean tricks him into letting his guard down and then takes him as a hostage - and when Dean is subdued, Jesus ''still'' fights tooth and nail to save him. Jesus also orders that the survivors of the satellite outpost be taken as prisoners, and continues to urge Maggie to spare them. To his dismay, however, Maggie isn't willing to show the men who captured and killed her husband half of the mercy he shows them. Even during the final battle of the war, Jesus is ordering Morgan to not kill the Saviors attacking them. |
| 141 | * TheTrickster: In spades. Within minutes of his introduction he fools Rick and Daryl into letting him steal their truck full of supplies. |
| 142 | * UndyingLoyalty: Develops this to Maggie as she comes to take over Hilltop. |
| 143 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 144 | ** Frequently has this reaction toward Gregory's antics. He also begins having this reaction when Maggie is unwilling to show the same mercy to the Saviors that he has. At the end of the Savior War, he is outraged when Rick and Michonne decide, without consulting anyone else, that Negan should be spared. |
| 145 | ** He's on the receiving end of this in midlate Season 9, as Tara and Aaron chastise him for shirking most of his new responsibilities as leader of Hilltop despite Maggie having personally asked him to take over. |
| 146 | * TheWorfEffect: Despite being one of the biggest badasses on the show (and probably the most combat-proficient), he is taken out in a single fatal strike by one of the Whisperers, immediately establishing them as a serious threat. |

| 170 | A doctor and obstetrician in the Hilltop Colony. He advises Maggie to remain in Hilltop for the remainder of her pregnancy. When his brother Emmett is killed by Negan, Simon conscripts him to work for the Sanctuary. During the Savior War, rescuing Carson becomes a top priority for AHK. He escapes with Gabriel thanks to Eugene, but is tragically killed by a Savior after attempting to escape while on the road to Hilltop. |
| 171 | ---- |
| 172 | * ActionSurvivor: Though he's not much of a fighter, he isn't entirely helpless in killing walkers either, managing to headshot a few while his leg is caught in a beartrap. |
| 173 | * AgentScully: In "Dead or Alive Or", he and Gabriel have a string of good luck as they try to make it to Hilltop before the Saviors catch them.

He eventually comes around on the idea, but is unfortunately shot and killed when he chooses the wrong moment to go for a Savior's gun. |

| 176 | * DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survives the entire series. |
| 177 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: He is killed near the end of "Dead or Alive Or", his most prominent episode. |
| 178 | * KarmicJackpot: For the group, anyway. When they help Jesus rescue him and other Hilltop residents out of the goodness of their hearts, they find out that one of the people they rescued is a trained obstetrician, whose services Glenn and Maggie will greatly need due to expecting a child. |
| 179 | * TheMedic: He serves as the doctor for the Hilltop. In general he's the most medically qualified survivor seen since Jenner. |
| 180 | * NiceGuy: He quickly becomes friendly to the group, Glenn and Maggie in particular. |
| 181 | * PermaStubble: Quite noticeable considering his brother Emmett is clean-shaven, despite being the elder. This is likely to show their different lifestyle, considering they live in two vastly different communities. |
| 182 | * PutOnABus: One to the Sanctuary, actually. He's conscripted by Simon to become the Sanctuary's chief medical officer after Negan rashly killed his brother. He reappears in Season 8 to care for the sick Gabriel and the two later escape with Eugene's assistance. |
| 183 | * ReplacementGoldfish: He becomes this for the Sanctuary Saviors after Negan kills his brother, Emmett. |
| 184 | * ShootTheMedicFirst: He is shot by a Savior while making his way back to Hilltop with Gabriel, long before Maggie's baby is born. Fortunately, Siddiq is revealed to have medical expertise and presumably takes over from there. |
| 185 | * TheSmartGuy: As a highly intelligent doctor, he's one of the community's most valuable assets. |
| 186 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Carson's abduction complicates a few things for the group going forward. As an obstetrician, Maggie critically needs him as she's expecting a child, thus he's a high-priority hostage in the Sanctuary. This prevents Sasha from her first attempt to snipe Negan, as Carson gets in the way. Furthermore, Carson's presence means the group can't simply bomb the Sanctuary to hell, since they need him. The eighth season premiere explicitly states that recovering Carson is a top priority. |

| 205 | ---- |
| 206 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Karl tried to warn the Saviors of the upcoming rebellion of the communities due to his fear of them and wanting to avoid their wrath, only backing out when Jesus hunt him down and managed to talk him out of it. In the show, he left Gregory behind as soon as he realized he was doing the same thing and has remained loyal to Maggie and the whole alliance. |

| 212 | * TheLancer: He begins getting courted by Gregory to serve as his personal right-hand man when Jesus begins openly defying Gregory's wishes. As shown in Season 8, though, he has as much respect for Gregory as anyone else at this point. |
| 213 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Eduardo's blue. |

| 218 | ** Leaves with Gregory for parts unknown in "Something They Need" and doesn't return before the season ends. He is revealed to have abandoned Gregory and returned to Hilltop once he found out Gregory intended to rat Maggie out to the Saviors. |
| 219 | ** It's unknown what's become of him since the end of Season 9, despite being a major defender of Hilltop and shown to still be living in the community as of "The Calm Before". |

| 249 | |
| 250 | Hilltop's chief blacksmith. He is the father of Ken and husband of Tammy. A year and a half after the Savior War, he and Tammy lose their son on a supply run gone wrong. Gregory gets him drunk and coerces him to attack and kill Maggie. However, Maggie survives and jails Earl, who quickly realizes the error of his ways once his senses return. After a harsh jail sentence, Maggie forgives him and releases him. Several years later, Earl and Tammy take in a Whisperer baby abandoned by his mother, Frances, on Alpha’s orders. Though hesitant to have another child, Earl is forced to raise the baby, who he names Adam, after Tammy is killed by Alpha. During the ensuing months, he and Alden try to help fortify Hilltop for what they believe is an inevitable war. Earl ends up bitten during the Battle of Hilltop, his last acts being to escort the children of the community to safety. Judith ends up having to put his reanimated corpse down. |
| 251 | ---- |
| 252 | * ActionSurvivor: While not exactly combat-proficient due to his age, he is still able to kill walkers. |
| 253 | * AgeLift: He’s older than his comic counterpart, who only appeared to reach old age by the time of the comic’s DistantFinale. |
| 254 | * TheAlcoholic: He was this in the past, and briefly relapses in the aftermath of his son's death. |
| 255 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Briefly, after his suicide fails to destroy his brain. Judith quickly ends his suffering. |
| 256 | * TheAtoner: He genuinely feels remorse for attacking Maggie after Gregory gets him drunk. Notably, he does not blame Gregory for what happened, insisting that he is ashamed that he was capable of doing something so vile at all. This sincere regret is what convinces Maggie to let him go. |
| 257 | * TheBigGuy: He serves as one of these for the community by virtue of being the chief blacksmith of the most productive blacksmith shop in the communities. He may not be one of these on his own due to his age, but the weapons, armor, and reinforced defenses he provides for the communities make him a valuable asset. When Maggie imprisons him for a month, Michonne outright says she is depriving ''all'' of the communities by cutting off Earl's work. |
| 258 | * TheBlacksmith: What he is for the community. He is responsible for creating their weapons and armor, as well as some of their defenses, such as the catapults seen in "Walk With Us". |
| 259 | * BungledSuicide: Of a sort. He succeeds in killing himself by jamming his head into a metal spike, but it doesn't pierce all the way through into his brain and he still comes back as a zombie, forcing Judith to finish the job. |
| 260 | * CombatPragmatist: At the fair, he explains how he prefers a certain type of ax since it can double both in hard labor and in combat against walkers or other enemies, showing he knows the value of being able to use anything at his disposal in a fight. In "Lines We Cross" he also uses the fire extinguisher can he wields against walkers. |
| 261 | * CompositeCharacter: Of Earl Sutton and Morton Rose from the comics. Earl was Hilltop's blacksmith while Morton was the husband of Tammy Rose, and was persuaded by Gregory to assassinate one of the community leaders (Rick in the comics, Maggie in the show) after the death of a loved one. |
| 262 | * CoolOldGuy: Despite his drunken murder attempt, he's not a bad person at heart, and expresses sincere remorse for what he did. He also takes Henry under his wing and invites him to hang out with him and Tammy. |
| 263 | * DeadpanSnarker: Befitting his advanced age and grumpy demeanor, he can be pretty snarky when he wants to. When Tammy is suggesting names for the baby they adopt, he flatly rejects her choices with a bored "hate it". |
| 264 | * DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survived all the way to the series' DistantFinale. |
| 265 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: Downplayed, as he does get more screen time and dialogue in "Morning Star", only to die in the ''next'' episode. |
| 266 | * DrivenToSuicide: Knowing that his time is up, he hammers a metal spike into a table to stab himself through the head and save Judith or anyone else the trouble of putting him down. It fails. |
| 267 | * DrowningMySorrows: He is lulled into doing this by Gregory following the death of his son. |
| 268 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: He accepts his fate remarkably well all things considered, escorting the children of Hilltop to safety after Ezekiel is incapacitated and calming them, as well as giving some kind final words of encouragement to Judith and urging her not to worry about him, since he'll be reunited with his wife and son in the afterlife. |
| 269 | * HappilyMarried: Despite occasionally snarking at one another, it's clear that he and Tammy love each other very much. |
| 270 | * InTheHood: He wears a hoodie when he attacks Maggie. |
| 271 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. His wife and son both mention that he can be irritable and stoic, but he’s a good man with a good heart through and through. We see more of his angrier side in Season 10, after Tammy has been killed by the Whisperers and he declares war against them, though he still remains civil to most people and never does anything outright antagonistic. |
| 272 | * KnightInSourArmor: He’ll always do the right thing without hesitation, but expect him to grumble about it the whole way. In the Season 10 premiere he tells the others they have no choice but to cross into Whisperer territory to put out the fire, but complains that it’s going to be a long, hot night for everyone before they get started. |
| 273 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Well, he and Tammy ''are'' an old married couple, so naturally sometimes they playfully tease each other. Case in point, when Earl says that the Whisperer baby needs younger parents than a couple of "old farts", he notes that he especially means ''her''. |
| 274 | * MauveShirt: He gets a good amount of characterization before dying in his second season. |
| 275 | * TheMentor: He begins training Henry as a blacksmith in midlate Season 9. |
| 276 | * MirrorCharacter: Maggie realizes that he is this to her late father Hershel. Both were rampant alcoholics earlier in their life, but were nevertheless loved by their long-suffering wives. It took the birth of their children to dry up, and when they both lose a child, they are driven back to drinking - and by the end of the season, Earl has also lost his wife. Earl himself feels this way about Henry when he learns that Henry got drunk partially to blow off some steam. |
| 277 | * MyBelovedSmother: He’s Henry’s appointed mentor as opposed to parent, but he ends up earning Henry’s ire pretty early on. In “Evolution” he kindly offers Henry to spend time with him and Tammy after dinner, but is oblivious to the fact that the youth is more interested in courting Enid and is not very interested in spending an evening with an elderly couple. |
| 278 | * OldSoldier: A retired Army vet, he nevertheless retains some of this attitude from his days in the service. When Hilltop realizes they're going to have to pull a LastStand against the Whisperers, Earl rallies everyone by reminding them they've been training for months for such an attack and are more than ready to take on their formidable enemy. |
| 279 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son Ken is killed during a supply run. |
| 280 | * PapaWolf: He flat-out refuses to let the reformed Whisperer Mary see her nephew Adam due to her association with the group that left him to die in the first place (and killed Tammy). |
| 281 | * ParentalSubstitute: He and Tammy get a second chance to be parents by adopting a Whisperer baby that Alpha almost leaves to the walkers. Unfortunately, Tammy is killed only days later, leaving Earl to raise the child alone. By Season 10 he’s also become one to Alden, who says he’s a better father than his own father ever was to him. |
| 282 | * PartingWordsRegret: Implied. The last conversation we see him having with Tammy before she is abducted and murdered is him snarking that he hates her proposed name of "Adam" for the baby they're adopting. Season 10 reveals that he went ahead and named him Adam per her suggestion, suggesting it's a way to honor his late wife. |
| 283 | * RedHerring: After the second TimeSkip of Season 9, the show seems to hint that Earl is going to die soon, given the increasing mentions of his age catching up to him and Tammy wanting him to retire. It's a trick, however, as it's ''Tammy'' who is killed towards the end of the season by Alpha. |
| 284 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a result of being a CompositeCharacter with Morton Rose, he becomes the husband of Tammy Rose in this version. |
| 285 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Like his wife and son, he is never seen before Season 9, but is indicated to have been a part of Hilltop for a long time. |
| 286 | * RetiredBadass: A deleted scene reveals that he's ex-military. |
| 287 | * SoleSurvivor: With Tammy's death in "The Calm Before", he is the last surviving member of his family, not counting the Whisperer baby he and his wife had recently adopted. Earl himself eventually perishes in "Walk With Us" putting an end to the original Sutton family line. |
| 288 | * SpottingTheThread: In early Season 10 he realizes Alpha must be behind the recent walker sieges and acts of sabotage, knowing it's too much of a coincidence. |
| 289 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Alden in Season 10. The pair are blacksmiths who have lost loved ones to the Whisperers and are frequently seen together. “Morning Star” eventually clarifies that he’s become a sort of father figure to Alden. |
| 290 | * TogetherInDeath: Shortly before killing himself, Earl tells Judith that he’s looking forward to being reunited with Tammy and Ken in the afterlife. |
| 291 | * UnwittingPawn: Gregory manipulates him into killing Maggie for him solely so he can take over Hilltop. |
| 292 | * WarHawk: Due to being a retired vet, he's more than ready to prepare for the inevitable Whisperer War and basically begins preparing the moment he returns to Hilltop from the Fair. In "Morning Star" he proudly states he's happy to go down fighting against the Whisperers that night if need be and that they should all welcome the chance to die fighting. Aaron has to point out to him that they still need to at least ''try'' to evacuate for the children's sake, and Earl relents, realizing he's right. |
| 293 | * ZombieInfectee: He is bitten on the arm at some point during the siege on Hilltop in "Walk With Us". |

She is angry with Maggie when her son Ken dies during a supply run for goods that ultimately went to the Saviors, but is aghast when Gregory talks her drunken husband into attacking Maggie. However, Tammy once again has it out with Maggie when she’s not allowed to see Earl for the entire month of his incarceration. Six years later, Tammy helps Daryl, Earl, and Connie rescue the Whisperer baby, and she and her husband quickly grow attached to him. Unfortunately, Tammy doesn’t even get to name the baby before she is one of Alpha’s victims in the pike massacre. Earl ends up honoring her wish to name the baby Adam as he begins raising him alone. |

| 309 | * ActionSurvivor: While not exactly combat-proficient due to her age, she doesn't hesitate to pick up a crowbar to save Earl from walkers. After her death, we learn from Siddiq that she bravely joined the other hostages in fighting back against the Whisperers, and even defended Rodney with nothing except a shovel. |
| 310 | * AdaptationalBadass: See ActionSurvivor. Here, she takes an active role helping defend the people in her community, which is more than her comic counterpart ever did. |
| 311 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's a heck of a lot nicer than her nagging shrew of a comic counterpart. Her beef with Maggie is also a lot more justified given that her son actually died on Maggie's watch; in the comics, she blames Maggie for defending Carl's actions after her own son Brandon nearly ''beat Sophia to death''. |
| 312 | * AgeLift: She's older than her middle-aged comic counterpart. |

| 322 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her son Ken is killed during a supply run. |
| 323 | * ParentalSubstitute: She and Earl get a second chance to be parents by adopting a Whisperer baby that Alpha almost leaves to the walkers.

| 339 | * CompositeCharacter: Due to being RelatedInTheAdaptation to Earl (himself a composite of Earl Sutton and Morton Rose), his role as the deceased son of two Hilltop residents is taken from Brandon Rose while his name and friendship with Marco are taken from the Ken of the comics. |
