->''"The place was running a long time before the modern world built up around it. I think people came here because they figured it'd keep running after the modern world broke down. Those windows up there let us see for miles in every direction."''
-->-- '''Paul "Jesus" Rovia'''

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.
----
* 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.
* {{Arcadia}}: Very rural and agrarian compared to Alexandria. The main surplus resource they have to trade is food - which Alexandria greatly needs.
* BigFancyHouse: Barrington House, an opulent colonial mansion that was formerly a historic landmark and museum, is now Hilltop Colony's central headquarters.
* TheBlacksmith: Hilltop has blacksmiths who forge their weapons, headed by Earl Sutton.
* 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.
* 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).
* DwindlingParty: As of Season 10, Bertie is the only (named) original resident confirmed to still be alive.
* GoodOldWays: Parts of the community look just like a living history farm.
* 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 [[BladeOnAStick 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.
* 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 regards 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.
* LastStand:
** 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.
** 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.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The setting is accompanied by [[https://youtu.be/OzomGmxki5c?t=1m2s a twangy banjo theme]] that gives it a distinctly southern feel.
* 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.
* 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 reigns 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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. [[spoiler: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.]]

->''"The Hilltop is '''my''' house. I'm still the guy. I've always been the guy."''

The leader of the Hilltop community who Rick's group meets to discuss establishing trade. When the group learns that Gregory has been subjugated by the Saviors, Maggie arranges a deal with Gregory so that Alexandria will assassinate Negan in exchange for supplies. Unfortunately, both Hilltop and Alexandria were unaware of the true size of the Saviors, and the latter is cowed into submission. Gregory is annoyed that Rick failed to follow through with his deal, and begrudgingly allows Maggie and Sasha to stay at Hilltop.

To Gregory's dismay, Maggie quickly begins proving herself as a far more competent leader than he could ever hope to be. She throws herself onto the frontlines during a Savior attack, begins getting to know the citizens, and generally bringing out Gregory's worst side for his constituents to see. Gregory is enraged when Hilltop slowly replaces him with Maggie as their leader. He attempts to sell out the colony to the Saviors, but finds that their loyalties now lie with Maggie. Gregory spends most of the duration of the Savior War as a prisoner alongside the captured Saviors, Maggie knowing full well he can't be trusted.

After the Savior War, Gregory is allowed to reintegrate into Hilltop, but officially loses the position of leadership to Maggie in an election. Down but not out, Gregory spends the next year and a half trying to rebuild his credibility with Hilltop and to present himself as a loyal ally to Maggie, but is only waiting for the right opportunity to kill and overthrow Maggie. Gregory goes for it after Ken’s death, getting Earl drunk to try to kill Maggie. However, Maggie survives and has Gregory executed for treason - and as a staunch reminder to Rick and Michonne what she believes should’ve happened to Negan.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Absolutely nobody in Hilltop likes him. At best they tolerated him before Rick and his group showed up. Once Maggie becomes a permanent resident they look to her for leadership and pretty much stop taking Gregory's shit.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Zig-zagged. Gregory can't get anyone's name right and always calls them whatever is off the top of his head. [[WordOfStPaul According to Xander Berkeley]], Gregory is so obsessed with himself that he's entirely ignorant to others around him.
* AdaptationalJerkass: While Gregory in the comics at least felt bad and even apologized to the Hiltop after selling them out to Negan, this version of Gregory doesn't even care. If anything, he looks ''proud.''
* AdaptationalWimp:
** While Gregory is by no means any kind of badass, his attempt to get people to stop fighting in order to keep their families safe and in the Hilltop Colony did get ''a few'' people to give up and go home in the comics. Here, even though we see some Hilltoppers having doubts, ''nobody'' does, making Gregory even more pathetic than his comic book counterpart. Even better, on at least one occasion, Gregory made a genuine attempt to help out Rick during a firefight, risking his own life in the process. No such thing is done by his TV counterpart.
** In the comic series, Gregory came very close to killing Maggie; the only reasons his plan failed were that 1) the poison dose was not enough to be lethal and 2) Jesus caught him red handed and managed to save Maggie from whatever backup plan Gregory might have had. Here, however, Gregory unsuccessfully tries to use someone else to do the deed, and when Maggie confronts him directly, he attempts to attack her with a knife instead of using a more subtle approach. Unsurprisingly, it does not end well for him.
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** Once he makes his way back to the Hilltop Colony in "Monsters," he pleads for Maggie to let him back into the colony.
** He also does this once again on the night of his execution in "A New Beginning."
* AlasPoorVillain: He’s so pathetic when Maggie finally gives the order to hang him, causing him to start screaming for his life despite having realized it won’t work this time, that one can feel a little pity for him. Some other characters also express discomfort with his execution, or at least how Maggie made the decision herself with no other counsel.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: In "Worth", he tries to suck up to Simon over tequila. However, when Simon is not interested in giving him a second chance, [[BullyingADragon the inebriated Gregory goes on a hilarious rant about how he believes he is entitled to keep surviving and begins mouthing off to Simon and belittling him.]] He’s damn lucky Simon merely decked him and assigned him to be his coffee boy.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Gregory isn't a psychopath like [[EvilOverlord the Governor]] or [[ImAHumanitarian Gareth]], but his character is entirely questionable. He eventually descends into outright evil in Season 9.
* ArcVillain: His tenure as an antagonist on the show lasts for the duration of the Savior arc from Seasons 6-8. His sole appearance after that is the Season 9 premiere in which he’s executed after an assassination attempt on Maggie.
* AssholeVictim: After spending roughly two and a half seasons being a misogynistic, sleazy, selfish prick, it's safe to say nobody will miss him now that he's been hanged by Maggie.
* AssInAmbassador: Technically, Gregory is the Hilltop Colony's only representative and negotiator, but he's also a grade A {{Jerkass}}.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Maggie immediately takes charge of the community after earning the respect of the Hilltop residents while Gregory only gets to keep the meaningless title as the community leader so the Saviors will be fooled into thinking that he's still their benefactor. Even before this, both Alexandria and the Kingdom recognized he was a cowardly idiot, as they both looked to Jesus as their main contact from Hilltop.
* BadBoss: Gregory is an immature, pompous and cruel sociopath who's far more concerned about keeping himself safe than rescuing the captured Craig, and is more than happy (even eager) to leave him to die.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He seems to believe every word he says without ever thinking otherwise: Gregory considers himself a heroic pillar of the people who holds Hilltop together. At one point he refers to himself as a "good guy" while ordering a pregnant woman out into danger in the same breath.
* BigBadEnsemble: Downplayed in Season 7. While he's nominally on the side of the heroes, he would prefer not to be, and he's the biggest thorn in the group's side who's not a Savior or a walker. He cannot be trusted and is essentially on the side of the Saviors.
* BigBadWannabe: He attempts to assassinate Maggie in the Season 9 premiere to take back his place as leader. He fails, and it’s pointed out how stupid his plan was, and he’s hanged by his own people in the community he claimed to have built himself.
* BigGood: Subverted. He's the leader of the Hilltop, which itself is a good community, but he's so sleazy, spineless and incompetent that Jesus is essentially the one who single-handedly keeps the place safe.
* BlatantLies: He tries to convince Maggie that the Hilltop is doing fine and doesn't need help from Alexandria, when in fact they are under the control of Negan.
* BullyingADragon: He drunkenly belittles and mouths off to [[TheDragon Simon]] in "Worth."
* ButtMonkey: In his first appearance alone he is disrespected by Rick, stabbed by a member of his own community, and finally strong armed into a deal by Maggie while still recovering from the wound. Even his own second-in-command doesn't think much of him. It doesn't get any better for him throughout Season 7, where he is bullied into submission by both the Saviors and even his own people, who begin to look up to Maggie as their new leader. Reaches its zenith in Season 8, which sees him shoved down a flight of stairs by Simon (who was the only Savior to personally vouch for him despite the constant bullying), nearly turned away at the gates of his own home for his betrayal, and finally tossed in a pen with a bunch of Savior hostages by some of his own people, who are now completely on-board with Maggie's leadership. Even when he runs back to Simon hoping to get back in his favor, Simon treats him like shit. He's also locked in Barrington House to face the Saviors when they come a-knocking in the Season 8 finale. Finally, he tries to have Maggie killed and is publicly hanged for his treachery.
* CasanovaWannabe: He views himself as a ladies' man, openly flirting with both Maggie and Sasha. The result, however, makes him look more like a sexual harasser.
* CharacterDeath: He is hanged by Daryl on Maggie's orders as punishment for attempting to have her assassinated in the Season 9 premiere.
* ConsummateLiar: You'd be surprised at how much of his dialogue consists of lies. A lot of his statements usually regard himself and how he can handle things, when he's clearly out of his depth. A lot of this stems from BelievingTheirOwnLies, since otherwise Gregory is a pretty poor actor when faced with the likes of Simon.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Very downplayed, but the fact that he made it to the Sanctuary all by himself deserves some mention. Not as impressive later on when he returns to Hilltop alone, given that it was all a part of Negan's plan for him to deliver fake battle strategies to Rick.
* DirtyCoward: Perhaps his defining character trait.
** When the Saviors came knocking, he rolled over; this is understandable considering Negan's negotiation methods but he always gives them a mile even when they only want an inch. He also nearly reveals Maggie and Sasha to Simon, but thankfully Jesus saw his betrayal coming.
** He rats out the Hiltop, Alexandria, and the Kingdom to Negan, not even looking upset about it. After it goes south, he has the gall to cry for help, forcing Gabriel to try and save him. He then proceeds to ''leave Gabriel to die.''
** He can flip-flop even in the same breath depending on how the conversation is going. In “Worth”, he goes from respecting Negan to trash-talking him in moments when he learns that Simon has briefly usurped control of the Saviors from him.
** Much like Spencer, he tries to get someone else to do his dirty work so he can take over. He gets a grieving Earl drunk and riled up to kill Maggie for him. Maggie even calls him out for being so weak he can't even murder her right.
* DirtyOldMan: He starts hitting on Maggie when they are alone, and later suggests that Sasha have sex with him to earn Maggie a place at Hilltop.
* TheDitherer: Daryl even says that Gregory is "talking out of both sides of [his] mouth."
* EveryoneHasStandards: Gregory is pretty horrible, but like everyone else he's terrified and disgusted by the Saviors. He would rather not work with them at all, and is willing to enlist Rick's help to get rid of them.
* EvilAllAlong: After the post-Savior War TimeSkip, Gregory has put on a great show to act like he's changed and become loyal to Maggie. It's all a farce since he's playing a long-term game to usurp her.
* EvilCounterpart:
** To Hershel Greene. Hershel was an [[CoolOldGuy honorable man, who fought for the people he cared about]], and helped others [[IncorruptiblePurePureness out of the goodness of his heart]]. Gregory [[DirtyCoward makes others fight for him]], [[JerkAss treats others horribly]], and only helps people out if [[ItsAllAboutMe he gets something out of it]]. It’s telling that Hershel himself was the BigGood of the prison for the better part of a year, and Maggie herself ends up taking over from Gregory as leader of Hilltop.
** He also doubles as one to Deanna Monroe. Both of them are former politicians who took over as leaders for their peaceful communities because they see themselves as capable heroes who'd guide innocent survivors to safety. However, Deanna was a good-hearted person who wanted to do what's right and consented to Rick's suggestions, while Gregory is too egotistical to even consider advice from Jesus or Maggie.
** To Rick as well. Both were subdued by the Saviors and bullied into compliance, but Rick humiliated himself out of a desire to protect his own people. Gregory wanted only to protect himself, not actually caring about the people under his care. He even mistakes Sasha for a Hilltop resident!
* EvilOldFolks: He's in his late fifties to early sixties and proves himself to be very antagonistic towards Rick's group, as well as being a DirtyCoward who has almost no redeeming qualities.
* FakeUltimateHero: He poses as the Hilltop's greatest hero and noble leader, but in reality he's not as powerful as he believes he is. According to Jesus, Gregory is actually just some guy who took over as leader and the town has never raised any questions over it.
* FakingTheDead: Amusingly, he isn't even aware of this. Rick's group uses a walker head that bears a resemblance to him as a way to get into the Saviors' compound, claiming that they've gone through with the deal and killed him.
* FalseFriend: Has an extremely superficial friendly attitude that Rick and Maggie immediately see through. He tries this again in Season 9 as he pretends to be a loyal ally to Maggie, but it’s a ruse that he’s using until he can find the right opportunity to usurp her.
* FanDisservice: The elderly Gregory is given a ShirtlessScene while lying half naked in bed.
* {{Foil}}: To Negan.
** Both of them are arrogant, {{Jerkass}} leaders who aren't adored nearly as much as they think they are. However, when the chips are down, Negan is shown to be a very effective leader without whom the Sanctuary would fall apart in a matter of days. Gregory has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating and is cast aside by the populace shortly after Maggie comes along.
** Both of them are a thorn in Maggie's side (though Negan to a far greater extent given that he killed her husband). In Gregory's case, he also has a vendetta against Maggie because he feels she is trying to usurp him. In Negan's case, he doesn't have anything personal against her and only killed Glenn because Daryl punched him.
** Both of them start to lose authority over some of their people -- Negan over Simon and his crew of rogue Saviors; Gregory over all of Hilltop once Maggie proves to be a better leader than him. Negan puts a stop to his rebellion in record time; Gregory ends up imprisoned along with some of the captured enemy Saviors.
** Both Gregory and Negan's lives are spared at the end of the Savior War despite them doing absolutely nothing to deserve it. Gregory is not imprisoned for his crimes, while Negan is given a life sentence.
** Maggie has Gregory hanged after being fed up with his bullshit. However, she [[CruelMercy spares Negan's life when she sees how much he really wants to die]].
** Another difference is how they face being shown mercy. Negan does some introspection and begins making strides toward a HeelFaceTurn. Gregory doesn't even try to change his ways and spends the next year and a half plotting to have Maggie killed, which leads to his execution.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's technically an ally to Alexandria, but no one particularly likes or respects him. Rick (and Richard from the Kingdom) clearly sees Jesus as the true representative of the Hilltop.
* GracefulLoser: Subverted. During the TimeSkip between Seasons 8 and 9, an official election was held in which Hilltop chose Maggie as their official leader. Gregory accepts this and begins respecting Maggie as leader of the community... except he doesn’t, and begins a long-term scheme to look like a better person and leader and wait for the right opportunity to overthrow Maggie and retake leadership.
* GreenEyedMonster: He isn't exactly subtle at how envious he is towards Maggie being viewed as the colony's noble leader instead of him.
* HangingAround: He's executed in a public hanging on Maggie's orders after attempting to assassinate Maggie both indirectly and directly.
* HarmlessVillain: He arranges Maggie's murder even though he would probably be the prime suspect if Earl had actually succeeded. Maggie chastises him by saying that he "can't even murder someone right" and when he then tries to do the job himself, she quickly overpowers him.
* HatedByAll: Regardless of what side they're on, absolutely ''nobody'' on the show is fond of Gregory.
* HateSink: In his first episode he quickly establishes himself as a slimy, smug, whiny tyrant and an unhelpful thorn in the heroes' side. It only gets worse from there. Xander Berkeley's occasionally hilarious performance makes him slightly more tolerable than his comic book counterpart, though.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He switches between aligning himself with Hilltop and the Saviors depending on which side he thinks will benefit him the most.
* HeroicWannabe: Gregory deludes himself into believing that he's a great leader who has brought peace for his community, when in reality he's a DirtyCoward begging Negan to spare him.
* HeyYou: He never remembers Maggie's name and simply calls her what's off the top of his head.
* HumiliationConga: When Simon turns up, things go from bad to worse for Gregory. He's pushed around, threatened, has his Scotch and painting stolen, is forced to kneel and is essentially emasculated.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He criticizes Craig (who has been taken hostage by the Saviors) for his "weakness", despite being a DirtyCoward himself who lets the Saviors walk all over him.
* IcyBlueEyes: He has cold blue eyes that contrast Jesus' InnocentBlueEyes.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Arguably, the biggest reason why he enjoys being the leader is because others will show him respect and care about his opinion.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't even care when one of his own people is captured by the Saviors, and is more concerned with the injury that has been done to himself.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Despite being a sexist pig who’s talking down to Maggie, he points out that Alexandria currently doesn’t have much in the way of supplies and resources to give Hilltop, something Maggie concedes when Gregory notes he has leverage over her due to Alexandria needing Hilltop more than vice versa. Maggie gets to turn the tables on him, however, when she later points out Alexandria is better equipped to battle the Saviors and now has leverage over him (which he concedes as well).
** He's an arrogant, self-absorbed and narcissistic coward, but he is right to see the Saviors as a serious threat, and calls Maggie out on Rick's overconfidence when it came to dealing with them. He also has a point that if the Saviors learn of Alexandria's deal with them, there will be grave consequences for everyone.
** When Negan questions how he can still be in charge of Hilltop if he didn’t know about Maggie leading the Hilltop fighters to Alexandria, Gregory stumbles - since Negan has made the valid point that Gregory doesn’t have the control over Hilltop he says he has - but eventually says that he was already heading for Simon’s outpost to report Maggie’s presence by the time the militia headed for Hilltop on rather short notice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Gregory is a thoroughly unpleasant, stubborn and self-righteous sleaze who goes out of his way to order Rick around like a child when they first meet. He seemingly becomes a better person following the TimeSkip in Season 9, even giving a heartfelt eulogy in honor of the recently deceased Ken. It's really a ploy to take back control of Hilltop from Maggie, and he attempts to have her killed that very same night by getting Ken's grieving father drunk and convincing him to attack her.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Survives the Savior War without any repercussions for his actions. His continued schemes to overthrow Maggie then result in her ordering his execution in the first episode of Season 9.
* KarmicDeath: Hanged on Maggie's orders after his repeated attempts to overthrow her.
* KickTheDog:
** Tries to back out of a deal with Alexandria when they propose fighting Negan on the merit that his lost man isn't worth the effort. He just keeps going from there.
** Doesn't show even the slightest concern for Maggie and Sasha or their dead spouses, even when told that Maggie is pregnant.
** He also steals Glenn's pocket watch from ''his grave'', which Maggie promptly punches him for.
** After selling out everyone against Negan, he's extremely lucky that Gabriel even bothered trying to save him. Gregory's response? ''Stealing Gabriel's car and leaving him to die.''
* LackOfEmpathy: As long as he's not involved, he couldn't care less about what happens to his people. When told Maggie is pregnant, he derisively says it was her mistake. A truly stunning example occurs in the Season 9 premiere, when he makes a big speech memorializing Ken, sits with his grieving parents... and gets Earl drunk and plants the idea to kill Maggie so that he can retake control.
* LargeHam: He's a rather pathetic, overly brash and dramatic whiner at the worst moments and as a result, he infuriates other characters and even the audience as well.
* LaserGuidedKarma: When he tries to sell out Maggie and Sasha to Simon, Jesus tricks him into instead giving up his own prized possession of scotch. He is then forced to kneel in front of the Saviors, and Jesus makes it clear that from now on he has AuthorityInNameOnly.
* LaughablyEvil: As a villain, he's very easy to laugh at due to being rather pathetic and incompetent, not to mention an over-the-top DramaQueen.
* TheLeader: Of the Hilltop. Not a particularly good one, though.
* LeaderWannabe: After losing his position as leader to Maggie, he grows desperate in his attempts to get the position back.
* LeanAndMean: He's a skinny old man and a totally deceitful and manipulative jerk.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: His execution by hanging is Maggie’s way of flipping the bird at Rick and Michonne for sparing Negan. The pair clearly take the hint and are uncomfortable with it.
* MaliciousMisnaming: It's implied there are times where he intentionally gets Maggie's name wrong because he thinks doing so will knock her down a peg or two.
* ManipulativeBastard: He takes advantage of Earl, who is grieving the loss of his son, by getting him drunk enough to talk him into trying to assassinate Maggie.
* AManOfWealthAndTaste: Gregory lives in a [=McMansion=], wears a nice suit, and prefers to negotiate in his office.
* MeanBoss: Jesus makes no secret about what a prick he is. Gregory distances himself from his own people, sacrifices them at the drop of a hat and puts himself above all others.
* {{Narcissist}}: Gregory only cares for himself and will say anything to ensure his own survival.
* NeverMyFault: Gregory doesn’t see anything going wrong as his fault and is quick to defer blame to literally anywhere else he can.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: A recurring theme around Gregory is how his attempts to make things better for himself always end up shooting himself in the foot.
** Bullying and demeaning Maggie in their meeting right before getting stabbed in the stomach convinces Maggie of his true nature - that he's a weak, cowardly man with an act that she can now see through, and thus she's able to use his earlier advice regarding leverage to broker the deal between Alexandria and Hilltop.
** Attempting to sell out the hiding Maggie and Sasha, failing Jesus's SecretTestOfCharacter, finally convinces Jesus that he's not worth listening to in the slightest and sets him up to start grooming Maggie for the role of leader.
** Going to the Sanctuary to order the Hilltop fighters in the attacking militia to stand down only proves that he doesn't care about his constituents' well-being, and they swear loyalty to Maggie on the spot. It removes Gregory from his position of power and incurs the wrath of Simon when he sees that Hilltop's people are no longer loyal to him.
** After the Savior War, he calls for an election out of some delusion that he's going to be appointed leader again. All it does is ensure that Maggie, the woman who actually led Hilltop during their successful war against the Saviors, receives a legal election to the office of Hilltop's leader, unlike Gregory who simply appointed himself leader at its' founding.
** Finally, enacting one final coup attempt by using Earl to try to kill Maggie quickly unravels when Earl is stopped and Maggie catches him. It destroys the good will he had built up for himself over the last 18 months since the election, and while some survivors express discomfort with his execution, nobody tries to stop it.
* NonActionGuy: He's not a fighter. In fact, Season 7 reveals that he's ''never even killed a walker''.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** He's a weak coward, but he does have one dire weapon on his side - information. When it's clear Maggie and her friends are becoming the leaders of Hilltop and usurping him, Gregory implies that should it not be stymied, he will rat them out to the Saviors. Until the season finale in which the masquerade is cast off anyway, it's a serious threat to the group as they're not ''quite'' ready for open rebellion yet.
** He's not a fighter, but he is still quite the talker. While most people don't fall for it, he uses it to great effect on the grieving Earl and Tammy, and nearly succeeds in using Earl to kill Maggie for him.
* NotWorthKilling: According to Maggie he isn't, at least not yet. Her mercy runs out when he tries to have her assassinated in the Season 9 premiere.
* PetTheDog:
** Subverted big time in that his attempt to do this fails ''epically''. One, he's never killed a walker before, so he's helpless when attacked by a walker he tried to kill, and only did it because his fragile ego was being wounded because a pregnant woman didn't really need his help. Two, his offer to watch Maggie's back outside the walls is also a window of opportunity for him to consider killing her. Three, this all is hardly charity considering the PetTheDog moments of other, more dangerous villains like The Governor and Negan completely outrank his pathetic endeavor.
** Once again subverted when he takes the time to console the Sutton’s for the loss of Ken, sitting with them and sharing a drink. It’s all an act to get Earl drunk enough to try to kill Maggie for him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Doesn't seem to think much of women in power, as he quickly begins trying to bully and subdue Maggie when they're alone for the first time. Later, when he meets with Maggie outside Hilltop’s wall and a walker approaches, Maggie insists she’s got it, but he goes to kill it instead - only because he's offended that a pregnant woman doesn't need his help.
* PsychopathicManchild: Gregory acts very stubborn, whiny and bratty despite being an old man. When he’s thrown into the Savior pen, he’s whining and crying like a baby protesting that he didn’t do anything.
* PublicExecution: He ultimately is hanged by Maggie and Daryl for all of Hilltop's residents to see.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: It doesn't take too long for him to lose his leadership to Maggie.
* TheQuisling: He tries to be as compliant and accommodating with the Saviors as possible to spare himself and his community (though mostly himself) from further harm.
* RedemptionRejection: Maggie notes that Gregory had been given several chances to redeem himself and never took advantage of any of them.
* RichJerk: Heavily implied. Gregory wears a nice suit, lives in a [=McMansion=], and orders others around. In fact, the first thing he does is order Rick's group to clean themselves up since he doesn't want them getting his house filthy.
* RobbingTheDead: He actually has the nerve to pilfer Hershel's pocket watch from Glenn's grave. Maggie is understandably ''furious''.
* TheRival: He ''sees'' himself as one to Maggie, when in reality she barely even registers him as a threat.
* RunningGag: In a nod to the comics, he gets Maggie's name wrong twice over the course of a single scene. He is so aloof from his people that he can't get ''anybody's'' name right.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Knowing he's fallen out of favor with Hilltop, Gregory flees the community when Henry causes all the imprisoned Saviors to escape. Unlike them, however, Gregory heads straight for the Sanctuary to try to patch things up with Simon. He ends up being forced to flee ''again'', this time back to Hilltop, when Simon's mutiny against Negan fails two episodes later.
* ShutUpHannibal: In his last moments, he claims Maggie is only hanging him at night because she’s ashamed of executing him, clearly trying to talk his way out. Maggie coldly replies that he’s wrong, and she isn’t ashamed, and has him killed moments later.
* {{Slimeball}}: He's an incredibly sleazy sycophant and tries to hit on Maggie the moment they meet. He also shamelessly looks down Sasha’s shirt when she asks what she needs to do to keep Maggie in Hilltop and implies she could earn it with sexual favors.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's ''very'' full of himself and actually deludes himself into believing that he's a noble hero. Case in point, he tells Jesus that he took a stab wound for his community while Jesus didn't sacrifice as much. Said wound was from an assassination attempt on his life which he never saw coming while Rick's group incapacitated the actual assailants.
* SmugSnake: He's clearly deluded himself that he's a powerful leader, but in reality he's little more than a subordinate to Negan. Maggie is also easily able to strongarm him into giving up half of the Hilltop's supplies.
* TheStarscream: An interesting example in the fact that he wishes to put down someone who is essentially usurping ''him''. He is heavily tempted to kill Maggie in "Something They Need", who has been slowly but surely rising as a leader of Hilltop. He makes a more credible attempt in the Season 9 premiere when he gets Earl drunk to kill Maggie for him, but thankfully Maggie is saved and responds by executing him.
* StupidEvil: His last attempt on Maggie's life falls squarely into this since, on the off chance Gregory had actually succeeded, he would surely be the prime suspect.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: He actually manages to survive the war with the Saviors, only to die in the very first episode of Season 9.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He eventually agrees to ally with Alexandria and give them half of his resources in exchange for them assassinating Negan.
* ThisCannotBe: He truly cannot comprehend the idea that he is not a beloved, respected leader. When Negan questions [[VillainHasAPoint how Gregory is still in charge of Hilltop if he didn't know about Maggie leading a group of fighters to Alexandria]], Gregory is reduced to a spluttering mess as he begins realizing that he has lost control. When his attempt to convince Hilltop to surrender fails, he is nearly catatonic until Simon pushes him down some stairs. He ends up wailing like a baby when he's imprisoned with the Savior captives, crying that he didn't do anything despite having sold his people out to Negan. And finally, he cries desperately that he doesn't deserve to die for his assassination attempt on Maggie.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He's the only resident of the Hilltop Colony to not immediately jump on with the war effort against the Saviors and starts to lose more and more trust with his fellow survivors every appearance.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He manages to sink to new lows in the Season 9 premiere when he manipulates the emotionally distraught Suttons and tries to kill Maggie twice.
* UngratefulBastard: After Maggie and Sasha save his community from a walker attack instigated by the Saviors, he ''still'' wants to kick them out of Hilltop and nearly rats them out to Simon in order to get back in the good graces of the Saviors.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Earl's murder attempt fails, he decides to take matters into his own hands and kill Maggie himself, while also ranting about how he was the one who built Hilltop and how he'll frame Maggie's death to make it look like ''she'' was the one who had attacked ''him''. When he’s on the horse that will ultimately help execute him, he sobs like a baby trying to weasel his way out one last time, but when Maggie refuses and orders his execution, Gregory screams and hollers for his life all the way to his last breath.
* VillainsWantMercy: After trying to have Maggie killed twice, he breaks down and pleads for his life just before he is hanged.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's not an outright villain, but he's a slimy and spineless jackass who Jesus mentions is well-regarded by the Hilltop denizens. This starts to break down as Maggie proves herself to be a far more capable, compassionate leader in her own right, and the denizens of Hilltop begin slowly gravitating towards her. By Season 9, as he’s faking a HeelFaceTurn, he does begin to be regarded as a loyal member of the community again. However, when he tries and fails to have Maggie killed, nobody raises any objections to Maggie’s decision to execute him. The only thing anybody questions is how Maggie made the decision on her own - not whether or not he deserved his fate.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Heads for parts unknown with Kal in the penultimate episode of Season 7 and doesn't return before the season ends. Maggie and Jesus suspect he's going to rat them out to the Saviors, but we don't learn for sure, and even if that's his intention, it's for moot since the Saviors learn of Hilltop's resistance in the season finale anyway. The eighth season premiere confirms that he went to try to rat out Maggie to the Saviors. However, none of the Hilltop fighters heed his word and back down when asked.
** At the end of “Do Not Send Us Astray”, Gregory flees Hilltop with the Saviors being led to freedom by Jared. However, he doesn’t reappear when Rick and Morgan encounter them in the next episode, leaving his whereabouts unknown. He returns in “Worth”, having made it to the Sanctuary in a desperate attempt to regain Simon’s favor.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He has an opportunity to try and murder Maggie outside the walls. He doesn't take it. Keep in mind he probably couldn't have succeeded ''anyway,'' and the fact that he was considering murdering a pregnant woman to begin with really speaks volumes.
* WildCard: As the conflict with the Saviors grows more intense, Gregory's loyalty to the alliance between Rick's group and Negan's Saviors starts to muddy where he stands.
* YesMan: He pretty much remains [[TheDragon Simon's]] personal suck-up in order to remain in his favor. That is, until he fails to convince Hilltop to side with The Saviors, causing Simon to berate him and then push him down a flight of stairs.

->''"This is the next world, hope it's good to you!"''

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.

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.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He has to smile when Carl tricks him into jumping out of the Saviors' truck in "Sing Me A Song".
* AdaptationNameChange: His surname was Monroe in the comics. It was likely changed for the show to avoid confusion with the Monroe family from Alexandria.
* 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.
* AdaptationalBadass: He's more openly defiant of Gregory from the get go in this version.
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to Rick and Daryl for stealing their supply truck.
* 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.
* 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.
* BadassLongcoat: Gives him a long, lanky look.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He seems very playful with Rick and Daryl at first, but he's also capable of beating them in hand to hand combat.
* 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.
* 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.
* TheCameo: He briefly appears in the fourth season premiere of ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'', trying to convince Morgan to come to Hilltop with him.
* CelebrityResemblance: He LooksLikeJesus.
* CharacterDeath: Stabbed through the back by a Whisperer in "Evolution".
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's wearing all black in his debut appearance.
* DeadpanSnarker: When he wants to be.
* 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.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: Gets a bit more focus than usual in his last two episodes.
* 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.
* {{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.
* 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.
* 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.
* DragonInChief: A rare ''heroic'' example. Jesus acts as NumberTwo to Gregory, but he's really the smart one running the colony.
* EscapeArtist: Manages to escape being tied up by Rick and Daryl in a matter of seconds.
* 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.
* 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.
* FauxSymbolism: Lampshaded InUniverse. Daryl doesn't understand why Paul nicknamed himself Jesus and what its significance is.
* 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.
* {{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.
* FosterKid: Mentions to Maggie that he was raised in a group home.
* 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.
* 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.
* GoodVsGood: Ends up slugging it out with a mentally unstable, AxCrazy Morgan.
* 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.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He thinks very little of himself and openly tells Maggie and Sasha that he's not worthy of being a leader.
* HonestAdvisor: He frequently talks back to Gregory, who is too much of a pushover to do anything about it.
* 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.
* HypercompetentSidekick: He's the OnlySaneMan to the Hilltop Colony while Gregory is a LeaderWannabe.
* IconicOutfit: His signature longcoat and beanie.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Doesn't appear in the series until Season 6.
* InnocentBlueEyes: He LooksLikeJesus with them.
* InTheBack: He dies being stabbed in the back by a Whisperer.
* {{Irony}}:
** 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.
** 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.
* 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.
* 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 reigns. He's not exactly thrilled about it, though.
* 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.
* 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).
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't come off too bad from being knocked off of a moving truck.
* MartialPacifist: He doesn't want to kill people, but he will attack them in self-defense as Rick and Daryl quickly figure out.
* MomentKiller: When Rick and Michonne are tenderly cuddling in bed after entering their relationship with a passionate night together, Jesus wakes them up.
* MoralityChain: The only one who can (marginally) appeal to Gregory's good side is Jesus. That is, until "The Other Side".
* NiceGuy: Hands down one of the most decent people introduced so far. 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* NumberTwo: Technically is this to Gregory, but Jesus is by far the [[HypercompetentSidekick most trustworthy and skilled person in his community]].
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently, Jesus escaped his holding cell, got past Daryl and several Alexandrians, and successfully broke into Rick's house while he was off-guard.
* 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.
* 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.
* PosthumousCharacter: He makes a brief appearance in a flashback a few episodes after his death.
* PragmaticHero: He tricks Rick and Daryl in order to take their supplies, but it's all for the good of his community.
* 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.
* SacrificialLion: His death serves as a bloody introduction to the Whisperers.
* 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.
* SixthRanger: Jesus is the most frequently seen non-Alexandrian to fight alongside Rick and his group, such as during the raid on Oceanside.
* TheSmartGuy: He's the wisest of his group.
* 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.
* TheStarscream: A heroic example. He spends all of Season 7 grooming Maggie to replace Gregory as the leader of Hilltop.
* 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.
* StraightGay: There's no indication of his sexuality until he nonchalantly brings up his past boyfriends to Maggie in "The Other Side".
* 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.
* TheTrickster: In spades. Within minutes of his introduction he fools Rick and Daryl into letting him steal their truck full of supplies.
* UndyingLoyalty: Develops this to Maggie as she comes to take over Hilltop.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** 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.
** 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.
* 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.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' R. Keith Harris
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 6-8)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS06E11KnotsUntie Knots Untie]]"

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.
----
* 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. Gabriel believes it to be the work of God at hand, but Carson is skeptical. 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.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: As he wasn't shot in the head, he likely reanimated into a walker afterwards.
* CharacterDeath: He is shot by a Savior after stealing another Savior's gun in an attempt to escape.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survives the entire series.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: He is killed near the end of "Dead or Alive Or", his most prominent episode.
* TheMedic: He serves as the doctor for the Hilltop. In general he's the most medically qualified survivor seen since Jenner.
* NiceGuy: He quickly becomes friendly to the group, Glenn and Maggie in particular.
* NonActionGuy: 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* ReplacementGoldfish: He becomes this for the Sanctuary Saviors after Negan kills his brother, Emmett.
* 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.
* TheSmartGuy: As a highly intelligent doctor, he's one of the community's most valuable assets.
* 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.

!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS06E11KnotsUntie Knots Untie]]"

A guard of the Hilltop Colony.
----
* 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.
* BladeOnAStick: Wields a spear forged by Hilltop's blacksmith.
* FlippingTheBird: He does this to Gregory when he overhears him saying that he's delusional.
* GateGuardian: Is responsible for guarding Hilltop's gate alongside Eduardo.
* HotBlooded: He has a short temper and seems almost eager to kill Rick and the others when they start causing trouble.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's quick to anger, but only wants to defend the Hilltop from threats.
* 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.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Eduardo's blue.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Survives the war with the Saviors, unlike his comic counterpart.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Eduardo.
* TokenMinority: The only significant Asian character at Hilltop. After the first episode of Season 7, Glenn's death leaves him as the only significant Asian character in the whole cast until Yumiko is introduced in Season 9.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** 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.
** 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".

->''"We're going to have to fight, and if we die, we die fighting for a place that means something. Can you think of a better way to go?"''

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.
----
* ActionSurvivor: While not exactly combat-proficient due to his age, he is still able to kill walkers.
* AgeLift: He’s older than his comic counterpart, who only appeared to reach old age by the time of the comic’s DistantFinale.
* TheAlcoholic: He was this in the past, and briefly relapses in the aftermath of his son's death.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Briefly, after his suicide fails to destroy his brain. Judith quickly ends his suffering.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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".
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survived all the way to the series' DistantFinale.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: Downplayed, as he does get more screen time and dialogue in "Morning Star", only to die in the ''next'' episode.
* 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.
* DrowningMySorrows: He is lulled into doing this by Gregory following the death of his son.
* 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.
* HappilyMarried: Despite occasionally snarking at one another, it's clear that he and Tammy love each other very much.
* InTheHood: He wears a hoodie when he attacks Maggie.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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''.
* MauveShirt: He gets a good amount of characterization before dying in his second season.
* TheMentor: He begins training Henry as a blacksmith in midlate Season 9.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son Ken is killed during a supply run.
* 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).
* 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.
* 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.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a result of being a CompositeCharacter with Morton Rose, he becomes the husband of Tammy Rose in this version.
* 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.
* RetiredBadass: A deleted scene reveals that he's ex-military.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* TogetherInDeath: Shortly before killing himself, Earl tells Judith that he’s looking forward to being reunited with Tammy and Ken.
* UnwittingPawn: Gregory manipulates him into killing Maggie for him solely so he can take over Hilltop.
* ZombieInfectee: He is bitten on the arm at some point during the siege on Hilltop in "Walk With Us".

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 9)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E01ANewBeginning A New Beginning]]"

->''"Earl, you made a mistake. You... You lost yourself. But... But you came back. You're here now, and I forgive you. You hear me? God forgives you."''

Earl Sutton's wife. 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.
----
* 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.
* 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.
* 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''.
* AgeLift: She's older than her middle-aged comic counterpart.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Her decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* CoolOldLady: Though she can be quite a handful when she's properly pissed off, Tammy is a kind, doting old woman who helps defend her community.
* DecapitationPresentation: Her head is put on a pike by the Whisperers both to mark their territory and to serve as warning for the community.
* HappilyMarried: Despite occasionally snarking at one another, it's clear that she and Earl love each other very much.
* MamaBear: She risks her own life to help run outside Hilltop to save the Whisperer baby, and during her LastStand she puts herself between the Whisperers and Rodney.
* MauveShirt: She gets characterized fairly well, but is only around for one season on the show.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She effortlessly takes down three walkers to rescue her husband from being devoured.
* OffWithHerHead: Beheaded by the Whisperers along with nine others. She's notably the only pike victim to die in both the comic and the show.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her son Ken is killed during a supply run.
* ParentalSubstitute: She and Earl get a second chance to be parents by adopting a Whisperer baby that Alpha almost leaves to the walkers. Though she quickly gets attached to the child, new motherhood is tragically short-lived for Tammy, as she is killed by the Whisperers themselves only a few days later.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a result of her husband being a CompositeCharacter of her canonical husband Morton Rose and Earl Sutton.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Never seen before Season 9, but the characters are familiar with her.
* ThickerThanWater: She admits Earl made a terrible mistake letting himself get drunk and going along with Gregory's scheme, but she still loves him nonetheless and forgives him.
* WhatTheHellHero: She chews out Maggie when Ken is killed on a supply run, and later when she is prevented from visiting her husband when he's imprisoned.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Jesús Barreda (Spanish dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 9)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E01ANewBeginning A New Beginning]]"

The son of Earl and Tammy. He is mortally wounded by a horse he was trying to save from walkers and gets bit, and dies from shock and blood loss. Gregory uses his parent's grief to lure Earl into helping him make a play for leadership.
----
* 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.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart was beheaded by Alpha, while the Whisperers are only introduced to the show five episodes after his death in the Season 9 premiere.
* DecompositeCharacter: His character development from the comics is given to Eugene (as the injured party hiding from the Whisperers) and Alden/Luke (as one of the two Hilltop residents captured by the Whisperers and later returned).
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Gregory mentions that he looked after the animals, and Ken's efforts to save a horse from being devoured by walkers ends up costing him his life.
* InNameOnly: The one thing he has in common with the Ken from the comics is his friendship with Marco.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: The group amputates his arm in an effort to save his life, though he still dies from the blood loss.
* NiceGuy: From what little we find out about him, he seems like a friendly, well-meaning young man whose death leaves all of Hilltop devastated.
* RedShirt: He doesn't live past his first episode.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He was not related to Earl or Tammy in the comics.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Like his parents, he is never seen before Season 9, but is indicated to have been a longtime resident of Hilltop.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one episode, but his death has ramifications for the rest of the season.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: At least to the audience, since he's introduced and killed in the same episode.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Kelley Mack
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 9)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E07Stradivarius Stradivarius]]"

A teenager living in Hilltop who befriends Henry after he arrives from the Kingdom to train as a blacksmith. She quickly gets a crush on him and tries to woo him, but she doesn’t get much of a chance since he meets and falls for Lydia. She attends the fair and ends up as one of the victims of Alpha during the pike massacre.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Kal is seen training her with a spear in one episode, and she helps defend one of the convoys to the fair. Addy even saves Gage's life when he is almost bit by a walker at the convoy.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She ultimately never has a decent chance with Henry, especially since he quickly meets Lydia.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Her decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* CanonForeigner: She never appeared in the comics.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She's slightly hostile towards Lydia for getting in the way of her and Henry.
* DecapitationPresentation: Her head is put on a pike by the Whisperers both to mark their territory and to serve as warning for the community.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She is willing to break Hilltop's rules a bit by sneaking out and drinking, but is disgusted that Gage and Rodney keep one trapped in a pit to taunt, throw necklaces at, and piss on. Addy walks away in disgust when her friends show it to Henry.
* OffWithHerHead: Beheaded by the Whisperers along with nine others.
* OnlySaneWoman: Out of her friends, she is the only one who is not dumb around walkers.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Introduced in Season 9, but has been a resident of the Hilltop the entire time. Justified due to being only a child prior to the timeskip.
* ShipTease: She flirts with Henry, but nothing comes of it due to him being put in jail for being drunk and disorderly and then Lydia's arrival the next day. She makes one last attempt at a pass at him at the Fair, but he’s already with Lydia by then.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only one of her friends who is not a jerk.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Jackson Page
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 9-11)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E07Stradivarius Stradivarius]]"

A teenager living in Hilltop. He pressures Henry into drinking in the woods with him and his friends, and they leave Henry alone in a pit when he kills the walker they were playing with. Henry, Rodney, and Addy are all killed by Alpha, leaving Gage alone. He subsequently moves to Alexandria, where he once again begins bullying Lydia for her being Alpha's daughter. Though he's uncomfortable with how far his cohorts are willing to go, he doesn't do much to stop them, leading to Margo's death when Negan steps in.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:He may have been a jerk but watching him break down as Maggie refuses to let him inside the train car and he's faced with killing himself or trying to take on all the walkers alone means it's pretty difficult to cheer his death all the same. Not to mention that, for all his faults, he was still another teenager who had his life cut short by the harsh realities of the zombie apocalypse.]]
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:He reanimates after committing suicide, and is quickly put down by a shotgun blast to the face from Gabriel.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He bullied Lydia for most of his screen time so it's hard to feel too bad when he dies.]]
* ActionSurvivor: He's capable enough against walkers, but still has to be saved by Addy during the attack on the Hilltop convoy.
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:After being absent for almost a season, he returns in Season 11 and lasts two episodes before dying by his own hand on the mission to Meridian.]]
* BadLiar: Gabriel doesn't buy his attempts to justify why him and his friends were caught attacking Lydia.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He chooses to commit suicide instead of be torn to pieces by walkers while still alive.]]
* TheBully: He picks on Henry and Lydia for no reason. It becomes slightly more understandable (if still inexcusable) when the Whisperers kill his friends and he blames Lydia.
* TheBusCameBack: After being MIA for most of Season 10, he finally returns in the Season 11 premiere.
* CanonForeigner: He never appeared in the comics.
* DevouredByTheHorde: [[spoiler:After he dies his body is partly eaten by walkers.]]
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:His eyes remain open as his corpse is devoured by walkers.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:When faced with a lot of walkers he stabs himself in the heart.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: While he has no qualms about openly bullying Lydia he's later ''very'' reluctant to actually harm her. It doesn't stop him from joining in on Margo and Alfred's beatdown of her, however.
* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler:He invokes this on the group by looking them right in the eyes as he stabs himself, and then giving them a front row seat to the walkers devouring his corpse.]]
* HateSink: His two biggest defining traits are being a jerk and a bully, so it's not hard to dislike him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a total douchebag to Lydia and Henry. Though he seems to get along fine with everyone else, especially Addy and Rodney.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Ditching the group in the subway tunnels without their weapons doesn't earn him any favors and leads to them refusing to help him to safety when he finds himself trapped by a horde of walkers.]]
* MauveShirt: [[spoiler:He outlives his friends and joins the SuicideMission to Meridian but ends up being the journey’s first casualty before the group even encounters the Reapers.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He briefly shows remorse for his actions when Negan breaks up the attack on Lydia, claiming, "We were just trying to scare her."
* NeverMyFault: He tries to shift the blame for Margo's death on Negan, ignoring that it wouldn't have happened if he and his friends hadn't attacked Lydia in the first place.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Never seen before Season 9, but he's lived at Hilltop for most of his life, meaning he was present during the Savior War.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He and Roy flee with the group's weapons cache after being swayed by Negan's words about continuing to travel in the subway tunnels.]]
* SoleSurvivor: The only one of his friends not to end up with his head on a pike. [[spoiler:He finally meets his end in "Acheron, Part II".]]
* TrueCompanions: Say what you want about the guy, but he genuinely cared for his friends Addy and Rodney.

A teenager living in Hilltop. He and his friends Gage and Addy befriend Henry and take him drinking with them, but they leave him to fend for himself when he ruins their game with a walker. Rodney and Gage later bully Lydia at the fair, and Rodney ends up becoming one of Alpha’s victims in the pike massacre.
----
* ActionSurvivor: He's capable enough against walkers, but in the end, he’s the only pike victim who's too afraid to fight back against the Whisperers, and is defended by Tammy until their deaths.
* AllMenArePerverts: He jokes about wanting to become a fisherman so he can move to Oceanside, which is an all-female community.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: His decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.

->''"The place was running a long time before the modern world built up around it. I think people came here because they figured it'd keep running after the modern world broke down. Those windows up there let us see for miles in every direction."''
-->-- '''Paul "Jesus" Rovia'''

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.
----
* 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.
* {{Arcadia}}: Very rural and agrarian compared to Alexandria. The main surplus resource they have to trade is food - which Alexandria greatly needs.
* BigFancyHouse: Barrington House, an opulent colonial mansion that was formerly a historic landmark and museum, is now Hilltop Colony's central headquarters.
* TheBlacksmith: Hilltop has blacksmiths who forge their weapons, headed by Earl Sutton.
* 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.
* 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).
* DwindlingParty: As of Season 10, Bertie is the only (named) original resident confirmed to still be alive.
* GoodOldWays: Parts of the community look just like a living history farm.
* 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 [[BladeOnAStick 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.
* 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 regards 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.
* LastStand:
** 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.
** 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.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The setting is accompanied by [[https://youtu.be/OzomGmxki5c?t=1m2s a twangy banjo theme]] that gives it a distinctly southern feel.
* 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.
* 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 reigns 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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. [[spoiler: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.]]

!!''Gregory''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gregory_4.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I built this place!"'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/XanderBerkeley
!!!'''Voiced By:''' David García Vázquez (Spanish dub), Yutaka Nakano (Japanese dub), Klaus-Dieter Klebsch (German dub), Stefan Godin (French dub), Fabrizio Pucci (Italian dub), Pavel Rímský (Czech dub), Sándor Rosta (Hungarian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 6-9)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS06E11KnotsUntie Knots Untie]]"

->''"The Hilltop is '''my''' house. I'm still the guy. I've always been the guy."''

The leader of the Hilltop community who Rick's group meets to discuss establishing trade. When the group learns that Gregory has been subjugated by the Saviors, Maggie arranges a deal with Gregory so that Alexandria will assassinate Negan in exchange for supplies. Unfortunately, both Hilltop and Alexandria were unaware of the true size of the Saviors, and the latter is cowed into submission. Gregory is annoyed that Rick failed to follow through with his deal, and begrudgingly allows Maggie and Sasha to stay at Hilltop.

To Gregory's dismay, Maggie quickly begins proving herself as a far more competent leader than he could ever hope to be. She throws herself onto the frontlines during a Savior attack, begins getting to know the citizens, and generally bringing out Gregory's worst side for his constituents to see. Gregory is enraged when Hilltop slowly replaces him with Maggie as their leader. He attempts to sell out the colony to the Saviors, but finds that their loyalties now lie with Maggie. Gregory spends most of the duration of the Savior War as a prisoner alongside the captured Saviors, Maggie knowing full well he can't be trusted.

After the Savior War, Gregory is allowed to reintegrate into Hilltop, but officially loses the position of leadership to Maggie in an election. Down but not out, Gregory spends the next year and a half trying to rebuild his credibility with Hilltop and to present himself as a loyal ally to Maggie, but is only waiting for the right opportunity to kill and overthrow Maggie. Gregory goes for it after Ken’s death, getting Earl drunk to try to kill Maggie. However, Maggie survives and has Gregory executed for treason - and as a staunch reminder to Rick and Michonne what she believes should’ve happened to Negan.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Absolutely nobody in Hilltop likes him. At best they tolerated him before Rick and his group showed up. Once Maggie becomes a permanent resident they look to her for leadership and pretty much stop taking Gregory's shit.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Zig-zagged. Gregory can't get anyone's name right and always calls them whatever is off the top of his head. [[WordOfStPaul According to Xander Berkeley]], Gregory is so obsessed with himself that he's entirely ignorant to others around him.
* AdaptationalJerkass: While Gregory in the comics at least felt bad and even apologized to the Hiltop after selling them out to Negan, this version of Gregory doesn't even care. If anything, he looks ''proud.''
* AdaptationalWimp:
** While Gregory is by no means any kind of badass, his attempt to get people to stop fighting in order to keep their families safe and in the Hilltop Colony did get ''a few'' people to give up and go home in the comics. Here, even though we see some Hilltoppers having doubts, ''nobody'' does, making Gregory even more pathetic than his comic book counterpart. Even better, on at least one occasion, Gregory made a genuine attempt to help out Rick during a firefight, risking his own life in the process. No such thing is done by his TV counterpart.
** In the comic series, Gregory came very close to killing Maggie; the only reasons his plan failed were that 1) the poison dose was not enough to be lethal and 2) Jesus caught him red handed and managed to save Maggie from whatever backup plan Gregory might have had. Here, however, Gregory unsuccessfully tries to use someone else to do the deed, and when Maggie confronts him directly, he attempts to attack her with a knife instead of using a more subtle approach. Unsurprisingly, it does not end well for him.
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** Once he makes his way back to the Hilltop Colony in "Monsters," he pleads for Maggie to let him back into the colony.
** He also does this once again on the night of his execution in "A New Beginning."
* AlasPoorVillain: He’s so pathetic when Maggie finally gives the order to hang him, causing him to start screaming for his life despite having realized it won’t work this time, that one can feel a little pity for him. Some other characters also express discomfort with his execution, or at least how Maggie made the decision herself with no other counsel.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: In "Worth", he tries to suck up to Simon over tequila. However, when Simon is not interested in giving him a second chance, [[BullyingADragon the inebriated Gregory goes on a hilarious rant about how he believes he is entitled to keep surviving and begins mouthing off to Simon and belittling him.]] He’s damn lucky Simon merely decked him and assigned him to be his coffee boy.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Gregory isn't a psychopath like [[EvilOverlord the Governor]] or [[ImAHumanitarian Gareth]], but his character is entirely questionable. He eventually descends into outright evil in Season 9.
* ArcVillain: His tenure as an antagonist on the show lasts for the duration of the Savior arc from Seasons 6-8. His sole appearance after that is the Season 9 premiere in which he’s executed after an assassination attempt on Maggie.
* AssholeVictim: After spending roughly two and a half seasons being a misogynistic, sleazy, selfish prick, it's safe to say nobody will miss him now that he's been hanged by Maggie.
* AssInAmbassador: Technically, Gregory is the Hilltop Colony's only representative and negotiator, but he's also a grade A {{Jerkass}}.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Maggie immediately takes charge of the community after earning the respect of the Hilltop residents while Gregory only gets to keep the meaningless title as the community leader so the Saviors will be fooled into thinking that he's still their benefactor. Even before this, both Alexandria and the Kingdom recognized he was a cowardly idiot, as they both looked to Jesus as their main contact from Hilltop.
* BadBoss: Gregory is an immature, pompous and cruel sociopath who's far more concerned about keeping himself safe than rescuing the captured Craig, and is more than happy (even eager) to leave him to die.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He seems to believe every word he says without ever thinking otherwise: Gregory considers himself a heroic pillar of the people who holds Hilltop together. At one point he refers to himself as a "good guy" while ordering a pregnant woman out into danger in the same breath.
* BigBadEnsemble: Downplayed in Season 7. While he's nominally on the side of the heroes, he would prefer not to be, and he's the biggest thorn in the group's side who's not a Savior or a walker. He cannot be trusted and is essentially on the side of the Saviors.
* BigBadWannabe: He attempts to assassinate Maggie in the Season 9 premiere to take back his place as leader. He fails, and it’s pointed out how stupid his plan was, and he’s hanged by his own people in the community he claimed to have built himself.
* BigGood: Subverted. He's the leader of the Hilltop, which itself is a good community, but he's so sleazy, spineless and incompetent that Jesus is essentially the one who single-handedly keeps the place safe.
* BlatantLies: He tries to convince Maggie that the Hilltop is doing fine and doesn't need help from Alexandria, when in fact they are under the control of Negan.
* BullyingADragon: He drunkenly belittles and mouths off to [[TheDragon Simon]] in "Worth."
* ButtMonkey: In his first appearance alone he is disrespected by Rick, stabbed by a member of his own community, and finally strong armed into a deal by Maggie while still recovering from the wound. Even his own second-in-command doesn't think much of him. It doesn't get any better for him throughout Season 7, where he is bullied into submission by both the Saviors and even his own people, who begin to look up to Maggie as their new leader. Reaches its zenith in Season 8, which sees him shoved down a flight of stairs by Simon (who was the only Savior to personally vouch for him despite the constant bullying), nearly turned away at the gates of his own home for his betrayal, and finally tossed in a pen with a bunch of Savior hostages by some of his own people, who are now completely on-board with Maggie's leadership. Even when he runs back to Simon hoping to get back in his favor, Simon treats him like shit. He's also locked in Barrington House to face the Saviors when they come a-knocking in the Season 8 finale. Finally, he tries to have Maggie killed and is publicly hanged for his treachery.
* CasanovaWannabe: He views himself as a ladies' man, openly flirting with both Maggie and Sasha. The result, however, makes him look more like a sexual harasser.
* CharacterDeath: He is hanged by Daryl on Maggie's orders as punishment for attempting to have her assassinated in the Season 9 premiere.
* ConsummateLiar: You'd be surprised at how much of his dialogue consists of lies. A lot of his statements usually regard himself and how he can handle things, when he's clearly out of his depth. A lot of this stems from BelievingTheirOwnLies, since otherwise Gregory is a pretty poor actor when faced with the likes of Simon.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Very downplayed, but the fact that he made it to the Sanctuary all by himself deserves some mention. Not as impressive later on when he returns to Hilltop alone, given that it was all a part of Negan's plan for him to deliver fake battle strategies to Rick.
* DirtyCoward: Perhaps his defining character trait.
** When the Saviors came knocking, he rolled over; this is understandable considering Negan's negotiation methods but he always gives them a mile even when they only want an inch. He also nearly reveals Maggie and Sasha to Simon, but thankfully Jesus saw his betrayal coming.
** He rats out the Hiltop, Alexandria, and the Kingdom to Negan, not even looking upset about it. After it goes south, he has the gall to cry for help, forcing Gabriel to try and save him. He then proceeds to ''leave Gabriel to die.''
** He can flip-flop even in the same breath depending on how the conversation is going. In “Worth”, he goes from respecting Negan to trash-talking him in moments when he learns that Simon has briefly usurped control of the Saviors from him.
** Much like Spencer, he tries to get someone else to do his dirty work so he can take over. He gets a grieving Earl drunk and riled up to kill Maggie for him. Maggie even calls him out for being so weak he can't even murder her right.
* DirtyOldMan: He starts hitting on Maggie when they are alone, and later suggests that Sasha have sex with him to earn Maggie a place at Hilltop.
* TheDitherer: Daryl even says that Gregory is "talking out of both sides of [his] mouth."
* EveryoneHasStandards: Gregory is pretty horrible, but like everyone else he's terrified and disgusted by the Saviors. He would rather not work with them at all, and is willing to enlist Rick's help to get rid of them.
* EvilAllAlong: After the post-Savior War TimeSkip, Gregory has put on a great show to act like he's changed and become loyal to Maggie. It's all a farce since he's playing a long-term game to usurp her.
* EvilCounterpart:
** To Hershel Greene. Hershel was an [[CoolOldGuy honorable man, who fought for the people he cared about]], and helped others [[IncorruptiblePurePureness out of the goodness of his heart]]. Gregory [[DirtyCoward makes others fight for him]], [[JerkAss treats others horribly]], and only helps people out if [[ItsAllAboutMe he gets something out of it]]. It’s telling that Hershel himself was the BigGood of the prison for the better part of a year, and Maggie herself ends up taking over from Gregory as leader of Hilltop.
** He also doubles as one to Deanna Monroe. Both of them are former politicians who took over as leaders for their peaceful communities because they see themselves as capable heroes who'd guide innocent survivors to safety. However, Deanna was a good-hearted person who wanted to do what's right and consented to Rick's suggestions, while Gregory is too egotistical to even consider advice from Jesus or Maggie.
** To Rick as well. Both were subdued by the Saviors and bullied into compliance, but Rick humiliated himself out of a desire to protect his own people. Gregory wanted only to protect himself, not actually caring about the people under his care. He even mistakes Sasha for a Hilltop resident!
* EvilOldFolks: He's in his late fifties to early sixties and proves himself to be very antagonistic towards Rick's group, as well as being a DirtyCoward who has almost no redeeming qualities.
* FakeUltimateHero: He poses as the Hilltop's greatest hero and noble leader, but in reality he's not as powerful as he believes he is. According to Jesus, Gregory is actually just some guy who took over as leader and the town has never raised any questions over it.
* FakingTheDead: Amusingly, he isn't even aware of this. Rick's group uses a walker head that bears a resemblance to him as a way to get into the Saviors' compound, claiming that they've gone through with the deal and killed him.
* FalseFriend: Has an extremely superficial friendly attitude that Rick and Maggie immediately see through. He tries this again in Season 9 as he pretends to be a loyal ally to Maggie, but it’s a ruse that he’s using until he can find the right opportunity to usurp her.
* FanDisservice: The elderly Gregory is given a ShirtlessScene while lying half naked in bed.
* {{Foil}}: To Negan.
** Both of them are arrogant, {{Jerkass}} leaders who aren't adored nearly as much as they think they are. However, when the chips are down, Negan is shown to be a very effective leader without whom the Sanctuary would fall apart in a matter of days. Gregory has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating and is cast aside by the populace shortly after Maggie comes along.
** Both of them are a thorn in Maggie's side (though Negan to a far greater extent given that he killed her husband). In Gregory's case, he also has a vendetta against Maggie because he feels she is trying to usurp him. In Negan's case, he doesn't have anything personal against her and only killed Glenn because Daryl punched him.
** Both of them start to lose authority over some of their people -- Negan over Simon and his crew of rogue Saviors; Gregory over all of Hilltop once Maggie proves to be a better leader than him. Negan puts a stop to his rebellion in record time; Gregory ends up imprisoned along with some of the captured enemy Saviors.
** Both Gregory and Negan's lives are spared at the end of the Savior War despite them doing absolutely nothing to deserve it. Gregory is not imprisoned for his crimes, while Negan is given a life sentence.
** Maggie has Gregory hanged after being fed up with his bullshit. However, she [[CruelMercy spares Negan's life when she sees how much he really wants to die]].
** Another difference is how they face being shown mercy. Negan does some introspection and begins making strides toward a HeelFaceTurn. Gregory doesn't even try to change his ways and spends the next year and a half plotting to have Maggie killed, which leads to his execution.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's technically an ally to Alexandria, but no one particularly likes or respects him. Rick (and Richard from the Kingdom) clearly sees Jesus as the true representative of the Hilltop.
* GracefulLoser: Subverted. During the TimeSkip between Seasons 8 and 9, an official election was held in which Hilltop chose Maggie as their official leader. Gregory accepts this and begins respecting Maggie as leader of the community... except he doesn’t, and begins a long-term scheme to look like a better person and leader and wait for the right opportunity to overthrow Maggie and retake leadership.
* GreenEyedMonster: He isn't exactly subtle at how envious he is towards Maggie being viewed as the colony's noble leader instead of him.
* HangingAround: He's executed in a public hanging on Maggie's orders after attempting to assassinate Maggie both indirectly and directly.
* HarmlessVillain: He arranges Maggie's murder even though he would probably be the prime suspect if Earl had actually succeeded. Maggie chastises him by saying that he "can't even murder someone right" and when he then tries to do the job himself, she quickly overpowers him.
* HatedByAll: Regardless of what side they're on, absolutely ''nobody'' on the show is fond of Gregory.
* HateSink: In his first episode he quickly establishes himself as a slimy, smug, whiny tyrant and an unhelpful thorn in the heroes' side. It only gets worse from there. Xander Berkeley's occasionally hilarious performance makes him slightly more tolerable than his comic book counterpart, though.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He switches between aligning himself with Hilltop and the Saviors depending on which side he thinks will benefit him the most.
* HeroicWannabe: Gregory deludes himself into believing that he's a great leader who has brought peace for his community, when in reality he's a DirtyCoward begging Negan to spare him.
* HeyYou: He never remembers Maggie's name and simply calls her what's off the top of his head.
* HumiliationConga: When Simon turns up, things go from bad to worse for Gregory. He's pushed around, threatened, has his Scotch and painting stolen, is forced to kneel and is essentially emasculated.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He criticizes Craig (who has been taken hostage by the Saviors) for his "weakness", despite being a DirtyCoward himself who lets the Saviors walk all over him.
* IcyBlueEyes: He has cold blue eyes that contrast Jesus' InnocentBlueEyes.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Arguably, the biggest reason why he enjoys being the leader is because others will show him respect and care about his opinion.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't even care when one of his own people is captured by the Saviors, and is more concerned with the injury that has been done to himself.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Despite being a sexist pig who’s talking down to Maggie, he points out that Alexandria currently doesn’t have much in the way of supplies and resources to give Hilltop, something Maggie concedes when Gregory notes he has leverage over her due to Alexandria needing Hilltop more than vice versa. Maggie gets to turn the tables on him, however, when she later points out Alexandria is better equipped to battle the Saviors and now has leverage over him (which he concedes as well).
** He's an arrogant, self-absorbed and narcissistic coward, but he is right to see the Saviors as a serious threat, and calls Maggie out on Rick's overconfidence when it came to dealing with them. He also has a point that if the Saviors learn of Alexandria's deal with them, there will be grave consequences for everyone.
** When Negan questions how he can still be in charge of Hilltop if he didn’t know about Maggie leading the Hilltop fighters to Alexandria, Gregory stumbles - since Negan has made the valid point that Gregory doesn’t have the control over Hilltop he says he has - but eventually says that he was already heading for Simon’s outpost to report Maggie’s presence by the time the militia headed for Hilltop on rather short notice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Gregory is a thoroughly unpleasant, stubborn and self-righteous sleaze who goes out of his way to order Rick around like a child when they first meet. He seemingly becomes a better person following the TimeSkip in Season 9, even giving a heartfelt eulogy in honor of the recently deceased Ken. It's really a ploy to take back control of Hilltop from Maggie, and he attempts to have her killed that very same night by getting Ken's grieving father drunk and convincing him to attack her.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Survives the Savior War without any repercussions for his actions. His continued schemes to overthrow Maggie then result in her ordering his execution in the first episode of Season 9.
* KarmicDeath: Hanged on Maggie's orders after his repeated attempts to overthrow her.
* KickTheDog:
** Tries to back out of a deal with Alexandria when they propose fighting Negan on the merit that his lost man isn't worth the effort. He just keeps going from there.
** Doesn't show even the slightest concern for Maggie and Sasha or their dead spouses, even when told that Maggie is pregnant.
** He also steals Glenn's pocket watch from ''his grave'', which Maggie promptly punches him for.
** After selling out everyone against Negan, he's extremely lucky that Gabriel even bothered trying to save him. Gregory's response? ''Stealing Gabriel's car and leaving him to die.''
* LackOfEmpathy: As long as he's not involved, he couldn't care less about what happens to his people. When told Maggie is pregnant, he derisively says it was her mistake. A truly stunning example occurs in the Season 9 premiere, when he makes a big speech memorializing Ken, sits with his grieving parents... and gets Earl drunk and plants the idea to kill Maggie so that he can retake control.
* LargeHam: He's a rather pathetic, overly brash and dramatic whiner at the worst moments and as a result, he infuriates other characters and even the audience as well.
* LaserGuidedKarma: When he tries to sell out Maggie and Sasha to Simon, Jesus tricks him into instead giving up his own prized possession of scotch. He is then forced to kneel in front of the Saviors, and Jesus makes it clear that from now on he has AuthorityInNameOnly.
* LaughablyEvil: As a villain, he's very easy to laugh at due to being rather pathetic and incompetent, not to mention an over-the-top DramaQueen.
* TheLeader: Of the Hilltop. Not a particularly good one, though.
* LeaderWannabe: After losing his position as leader to Maggie, he grows desperate in his attempts to get the position back.
* LeanAndMean: He's a skinny old man and a totally deceitful and manipulative jerk.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: His execution by hanging is Maggie’s way of flipping the bird at Rick and Michonne for sparing Negan. The pair clearly take the hint and are uncomfortable with it.
* MaliciousMisnaming: It's implied there are times where he intentionally gets Maggie's name wrong because he thinks doing so will knock her down a peg or two.
* ManipulativeBastard: He takes advantage of Earl, who is grieving the loss of his son, by getting him drunk enough to talk him into trying to assassinate Maggie.
* AManOfWealthAndTaste: Gregory lives in a [=McMansion=], wears a nice suit, and prefers to negotiate in his office.
* MeanBoss: Jesus makes no secret about what a prick he is. Gregory distances himself from his own people, sacrifices them at the drop of a hat and puts himself above all others.
* {{Narcissist}}: Gregory only cares for himself and will say anything to ensure his own survival.
* NeverMyFault: Gregory doesn’t see anything going wrong as his fault and is quick to defer blame to literally anywhere else he can.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: A recurring theme around Gregory is how his attempts to make things better for himself always end up shooting himself in the foot.
** Bullying and demeaning Maggie in their meeting right before getting stabbed in the stomach convinces Maggie of his true nature - that he's a weak, cowardly man with an act that she can now see through, and thus she's able to use his earlier advice regarding leverage to broker the deal between Alexandria and Hilltop.
** Attempting to sell out the hiding Maggie and Sasha, failing Jesus's SecretTestOfCharacter, finally convinces Jesus that he's not worth listening to in the slightest and sets him up to start grooming Maggie for the role of leader.
** Going to the Sanctuary to order the Hilltop fighters in the attacking militia to stand down only proves that he doesn't care about his constituents' well-being, and they swear loyalty to Maggie on the spot. It removes Gregory from his position of power and incurs the wrath of Simon when he sees that Hilltop's people are no longer loyal to him.
** After the Savior War, he calls for an election out of some delusion that he's going to be appointed leader again. All it does is ensure that Maggie, the woman who actually led Hilltop during their successful war against the Saviors, receives a legal election to the office of Hilltop's leader, unlike Gregory who simply appointed himself leader at its' founding.
** Finally, enacting one final coup attempt by using Earl to try to kill Maggie quickly unravels when Earl is stopped and Maggie catches him. It destroys the good will he had built up for himself over the last 18 months since the election, and while some survivors express discomfort with his execution, nobody tries to stop it.
* NonActionGuy: He's not a fighter. In fact, Season 7 reveals that he's ''never even killed a walker''.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** He's a weak coward, but he does have one dire weapon on his side - information. When it's clear Maggie and her friends are becoming the leaders of Hilltop and usurping him, Gregory implies that should it not be stymied, he will rat them out to the Saviors. Until the season finale in which the masquerade is cast off anyway, it's a serious threat to the group as they're not ''quite'' ready for open rebellion yet.
** He's not a fighter, but he is still quite the talker. While most people don't fall for it, he uses it to great effect on the grieving Earl and Tammy, and nearly succeeds in using Earl to kill Maggie for him.
* NotWorthKilling: According to Maggie he isn't, at least not yet. Her mercy runs out when he tries to have her assassinated in the Season 9 premiere.
* PetTheDog:
** Subverted big time in that his attempt to do this fails ''epically''. One, he's never killed a walker before, so he's helpless when attacked by a walker he tried to kill, and only did it because his fragile ego was being wounded because a pregnant woman didn't really need his help. Two, his offer to watch Maggie's back outside the walls is also a window of opportunity for him to consider killing her. Three, this all is hardly charity considering the PetTheDog moments of other, more dangerous villains like The Governor and Negan completely outrank his pathetic endeavor.
** Once again subverted when he takes the time to console the Sutton’s for the loss of Ken, sitting with them and sharing a drink. It’s all an act to get Earl drunk enough to try to kill Maggie for him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Doesn't seem to think much of women in power, as he quickly begins trying to bully and subdue Maggie when they're alone for the first time. Later, when he meets with Maggie outside Hilltop’s wall and a walker approaches, Maggie insists she’s got it, but he goes to kill it instead - only because he's offended that a pregnant woman doesn't need his help.
* PsychopathicManchild: Gregory acts very stubborn, whiny and bratty despite being an old man. When he’s thrown into the Savior pen, he’s whining and crying like a baby protesting that he didn’t do anything.
* PublicExecution: He ultimately is hanged by Maggie and Daryl for all of Hilltop's residents to see.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: It doesn't take too long for him to lose his leadership to Maggie.
* TheQuisling: He tries to be as compliant and accommodating with the Saviors as possible to spare himself and his community (though mostly himself) from further harm.
* RedemptionRejection: Maggie notes that Gregory had been given several chances to redeem himself and never took advantage of any of them.
* RichJerk: Heavily implied. Gregory wears a nice suit, lives in a [=McMansion=], and orders others around. In fact, the first thing he does is order Rick's group to clean themselves up since he doesn't want them getting his house filthy.
* RobbingTheDead: He actually has the nerve to pilfer Hershel's pocket watch from Glenn's grave. Maggie is understandably ''furious''.
* TheRival: He ''sees'' himself as one to Maggie, when in reality she barely even registers him as a threat.
* RunningGag: In a nod to the comics, he gets Maggie's name wrong twice over the course of a single scene. He is so aloof from his people that he can't get ''anybody's'' name right.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Knowing he's fallen out of favor with Hilltop, Gregory flees the community when Henry causes all the imprisoned Saviors to escape. Unlike them, however, Gregory heads straight for the Sanctuary to try to patch things up with Simon. He ends up being forced to flee ''again'', this time back to Hilltop, when Simon's mutiny against Negan fails two episodes later.
* ShutUpHannibal: In his last moments, he claims Maggie is only hanging him at night because she’s ashamed of executing him, clearly trying to talk his way out. Maggie coldly replies that he’s wrong, and she isn’t ashamed, and has him killed moments later.
* {{Slimeball}}: He's an incredibly sleazy sycophant and tries to hit on Maggie the moment they meet. He also shamelessly looks down Sasha’s shirt when she asks what she needs to do to keep Maggie in Hilltop and implies she could earn it with sexual favors.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's ''very'' full of himself and actually deludes himself into believing that he's a noble hero. Case in point, he tells Jesus that he took a stab wound for his community while Jesus didn't sacrifice as much. Said wound was from an assassination attempt on his life which he never saw coming while Rick's group incapacitated the actual assailants.
* SmugSnake: He's clearly deluded himself that he's a powerful leader, but in reality he's little more than a subordinate to Negan. Maggie is also easily able to strongarm him into giving up half of the Hilltop's supplies.
* TheStarscream: An interesting example in the fact that he wishes to put down someone who is essentially usurping ''him''. He is heavily tempted to kill Maggie in "Something They Need", who has been slowly but surely rising as a leader of Hilltop. He makes a more credible attempt in the Season 9 premiere when he gets Earl drunk to kill Maggie for him, but thankfully Maggie is saved and responds by executing him.
* StupidEvil: His last attempt on Maggie's life falls squarely into this since, on the off chance Gregory had actually succeeded, he would surely be the prime suspect.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: He actually manages to survive the war with the Saviors, only to die in the very first episode of Season 9.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He eventually agrees to ally with Alexandria and give them half of his resources in exchange for them assassinating Negan.
* ThisCannotBe: He truly cannot comprehend the idea that he is not a beloved, respected leader. When Negan questions [[VillainHasAPoint how Gregory is still in charge of Hilltop if he didn't know about Maggie leading a group of fighters to Alexandria]], Gregory is reduced to a spluttering mess as he begins realizing that he has lost control. When his attempt to convince Hilltop to surrender fails, he is nearly catatonic until Simon pushes him down some stairs. He ends up wailing like a baby when he's imprisoned with the Savior captives, crying that he didn't do anything despite having sold his people out to Negan. And finally, he cries desperately that he doesn't deserve to die for his assassination attempt on Maggie.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He's the only resident of the Hilltop Colony to not immediately jump on with the war effort against the Saviors and starts to lose more and more trust with his fellow survivors every appearance.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He manages to sink to new lows in the Season 9 premiere when he manipulates the emotionally distraught Suttons and tries to kill Maggie twice.
* UngratefulBastard: After Maggie and Sasha save his community from a walker attack instigated by the Saviors, he ''still'' wants to kick them out of Hilltop and nearly rats them out to Simon in order to get back in the good graces of the Saviors.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Earl's murder attempt fails, he decides to take matters into his own hands and kill Maggie himself, while also ranting about how he was the one who built Hilltop and how he'll frame Maggie's death to make it look like ''she'' was the one who had attacked ''him''. When he’s on the horse that will ultimately help execute him, he sobs like a baby trying to weasel his way out one last time, but when Maggie refuses and orders his execution, Gregory screams and hollers for his life all the way to his last breath.
* VillainsWantMercy: After trying to have Maggie killed twice, he breaks down and pleads for his life just before he is hanged.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's not an outright villain, but he's a slimy and spineless jackass who Jesus mentions is well-regarded by the Hilltop denizens. This starts to break down as Maggie proves herself to be a far more capable, compassionate leader in her own right, and the denizens of Hilltop begin slowly gravitating towards her. By Season 9, as he’s faking a HeelFaceTurn, he does begin to be regarded as a loyal member of the community again. However, when he tries and fails to have Maggie killed, nobody raises any objections to Maggie’s decision to execute him. The only thing anybody questions is how Maggie made the decision on her own - not whether or not he deserved his fate.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Heads for parts unknown with Kal in the penultimate episode of Season 7 and doesn't return before the season ends. Maggie and Jesus suspect he's going to rat them out to the Saviors, but we don't learn for sure, and even if that's his intention, it's for moot since the Saviors learn of Hilltop's resistance in the season finale anyway. The eighth season premiere confirms that he went to try to rat out Maggie to the Saviors. However, none of the Hilltop fighters heed his word and back down when asked.
** At the end of “Do Not Send Us Astray”, Gregory flees Hilltop with the Saviors being led to freedom by Jared. However, he doesn’t reappear when Rick and Morgan encounter them in the next episode, leaving his whereabouts unknown. He returns in “Worth”, having made it to the Sanctuary in a desperate attempt to regain Simon’s favor.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He has an opportunity to try and murder Maggie outside the walls. He doesn't take it. Keep in mind he probably couldn't have succeeded ''anyway,'' and the fact that he was considering murdering a pregnant woman to begin with really speaks volumes.
* WildCard: As the conflict with the Saviors grows more intense, Gregory's loyalty to the alliance between Rick's group and Negan's Saviors starts to muddy where he stands.
* YesMan: He pretty much remains [[TheDragon Simon's]] personal suck-up in order to remain in his favor. That is, until he fails to convince Hilltop to side with The Saviors, causing Simon to berate him and then push him down a flight of stairs.

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.

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.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He has to smile when Carl tricks him into jumping out of the Saviors' truck in "Sing Me A Song".
* AdaptationNameChange: His surname was Monroe in the comics. It was likely changed for the show to avoid confusion with the Monroe family from Alexandria.
* 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.
* AdaptationalBadass: He's more openly defiant of Gregory from the get go in this version.
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to Rick and Daryl for stealing their supply truck.
* 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.
* 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.
* BadassLongcoat: Gives him a long, lanky look.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He seems very playful with Rick and Daryl at first, but he's also capable of beating them in hand to hand combat.
* 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.
* 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.
* TheCameo: He briefly appears in the fourth season premiere of ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'', trying to convince Morgan to come to Hilltop with him.
* CelebrityResemblance: He LooksLikeJesus.
* CharacterDeath: Stabbed through the back by a Whisperer in "Evolution".
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's wearing all black in his debut appearance.
* DeadpanSnarker: When he wants to be.
* 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.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: Gets a bit more focus than usual in his last two episodes.
* 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.
* {{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.
* 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.
* 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.
* DragonInChief: A rare ''heroic'' example. Jesus acts as NumberTwo to Gregory, but he's really the smart one running the colony.
* EscapeArtist: Manages to escape being tied up by Rick and Daryl in a matter of seconds.
* 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.
* 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.
* FauxSymbolism: Lampshaded InUniverse. Daryl doesn't understand why Paul nicknamed himself Jesus and what its significance is.
* 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.
* {{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.
* FosterKid: Mentions to Maggie that he was raised in a group home.
* 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.
* 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.
* GoodVsGood: Ends up slugging it out with a mentally unstable, AxCrazy Morgan.
* 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.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He thinks very little of himself and openly tells Maggie and Sasha that he's not worthy of being a leader.
* HonestAdvisor: He frequently talks back to Gregory, who is too much of a pushover to do anything about it.
* 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.
* HypercompetentSidekick: He's the OnlySaneMan to the Hilltop Colony while Gregory is a LeaderWannabe.
* IconicOutfit: His signature longcoat and beanie.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Doesn't appear in the series until Season 6.
* InnocentBlueEyes: He LooksLikeJesus with them.
* InTheBack: He dies being stabbed in the back by a Whisperer.
* {{Irony}}:
** 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.
** 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.
* 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.
* 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 reigns. He's not exactly thrilled about it, though.
* 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.
* 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).
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't come off too bad from being knocked off of a moving truck.
* MartialPacifist: He doesn't want to kill people, but he will attack them in self-defense as Rick and Daryl quickly figure out.
* MomentKiller: When Rick and Michonne are tenderly cuddling in bed after entering their relationship with a passionate night together, Jesus wakes them up.
* MoralityChain: The only one who can (marginally) appeal to Gregory's good side is Jesus. That is, until "The Other Side".
* NiceGuy: Hands down one of the most decent people introduced so far. 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* NumberTwo: Technically is this to Gregory, but Jesus is by far the [[HypercompetentSidekick most trustworthy and skilled person in his community]].
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently, Jesus escaped his holding cell, got past Daryl and several Alexandrians, and successfully broke into Rick's house while he was off-guard.
* 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.
* 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.
* PosthumousCharacter: He makes a brief appearance in a flashback a few episodes after his death.
* PragmaticHero: He tricks Rick and Daryl in order to take their supplies, but it's all for the good of his community.
* 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.
* SacrificialLion: His death serves as a bloody introduction to the Whisperers.
* 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.
* SixthRanger: Jesus is the most frequently seen non-Alexandrian to fight alongside Rick and his group, such as during the raid on Oceanside.
* TheSmartGuy: He's the wisest of his group.
* 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.
* TheStarscream: A heroic example. He spends all of Season 7 grooming Maggie to replace Gregory as the leader of Hilltop.
* 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.
* StraightGay: There's no indication of his sexuality until he nonchalantly brings up his past boyfriends to Maggie in "The Other Side".
* 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.
* TheTrickster: In spades. Within minutes of his introduction he fools Rick and Daryl into letting him steal their truck full of supplies.
* UndyingLoyalty: Develops this to Maggie as she comes to take over Hilltop.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** 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.
** 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.
* 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.

!!''Dr. Harlan Carson''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/811_dr_carson_4.jpg]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' R. Keith Harris
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 6-8)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS06E11KnotsUntie Knots Untie]]"

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.
----
* 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. Gabriel believes it to be the work of God at hand, but Carson is skeptical. 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.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: As he wasn't shot in the head, he likely reanimated into a walker afterwards.
* CharacterDeath: He is shot by a Savior after stealing another Savior's gun in an attempt to escape.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survives the entire series.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: He is killed near the end of "Dead or Alive Or", his most prominent episode.
* TheMedic: He serves as the doctor for the Hilltop. In general he's the most medically qualified survivor seen since Jenner.
* NiceGuy: He quickly becomes friendly to the group, Glenn and Maggie in particular.
* NonActionGuy: 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* ReplacementGoldfish: He becomes this for the Sanctuary Saviors after Negan kills his brother, Emmett.
* 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.
* TheSmartGuy: As a highly intelligent doctor, he's one of the community's most valuable assets.
* 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.

!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS06E11KnotsUntie Knots Untie]]"

A guard of the Hilltop Colony.
----
* 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.
* BladeOnAStick: Wields a spear forged by Hilltop's blacksmith.
* FlippingTheBird: He does this to Gregory when he overhears him saying that he's delusional.
* GateGuardian: Is responsible for guarding Hilltop's gate alongside Eduardo.
* HotBlooded: He has a short temper and seems almost eager to kill Rick and the others when they start causing trouble.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's quick to anger, but only wants to defend the Hilltop from threats.
* 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.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Eduardo's blue.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Survives the war with the Saviors, unlike his comic counterpart.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Eduardo.
* TokenMinority: The only significant Asian character at Hilltop. After the first episode of Season 7, Glenn's death leaves him as the only significant Asian character in the whole cast until Yumiko is introduced in Season 9.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** 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.
** 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".

->''"We're going to have to fight, and if we die, we die fighting for a place that means something. Can you think of a better way to go?"''

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.
----
* ActionSurvivor: While not exactly combat-proficient due to his age, he is still able to kill walkers.
* AgeLift: He’s older than his comic counterpart, who only appeared to reach old age by the time of the comic’s DistantFinale.
* TheAlcoholic: He was this in the past, and briefly relapses in the aftermath of his son's death.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Briefly, after his suicide fails to destroy his brain. Judith quickly ends his suffering.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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".
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survived all the way to the series' DistantFinale.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: Downplayed, as he does get more screen time and dialogue in "Morning Star", only to die in the ''next'' episode.
* 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.
* DrowningMySorrows: He is lulled into doing this by Gregory following the death of his son.
* 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.
* HappilyMarried: Despite occasionally snarking at one another, it's clear that he and Tammy love each other very much.
* InTheHood: He wears a hoodie when he attacks Maggie.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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''.
* MauveShirt: He gets a good amount of characterization before dying in his second season.
* TheMentor: He begins training Henry as a blacksmith in midlate Season 9.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son Ken is killed during a supply run.
* 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).
* 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.
* 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.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a result of being a CompositeCharacter with Morton Rose, he becomes the husband of Tammy Rose in this version.
* 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.
* RetiredBadass: A deleted scene reveals that he's ex-military.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* TogetherInDeath: Shortly before killing himself, Earl tells Judith that he’s looking forward to being reunited with Tammy and Ken.
* UnwittingPawn: Gregory manipulates him into killing Maggie for him solely so he can take over Hilltop.
* ZombieInfectee: He is bitten on the arm at some point during the siege on Hilltop in "Walk With Us".

->''"Earl, you made a mistake. You... You lost yourself. But... But you came back. You're here now, and I forgive you. You hear me? God forgives you."''

Earl Sutton's wife. 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.
----
* 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.
* 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.
* 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''.
* AgeLift: She's older than her middle-aged comic counterpart.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Her decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* CoolOldLady: Though she can be quite a handful when she's properly pissed off, Tammy is a kind, doting old woman who helps defend her community.
* DecapitationPresentation: Her head is put on a pike by the Whisperers both to mark their territory and to serve as warning for the community.
* HappilyMarried: Despite occasionally snarking at one another, it's clear that she and Earl love each other very much.
* MamaBear: She risks her own life to help run outside Hilltop to save the Whisperer baby, and during her LastStand she puts herself between the Whisperers and Rodney.
* MauveShirt: She gets characterized fairly well, but is only around for one season on the show.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She effortlessly takes down three walkers to rescue her husband from being devoured.
* OffWithHerHead: Beheaded by the Whisperers along with nine others. She's notably the only pike victim to die in both the comic and the show.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her son Ken is killed during a supply run.
* ParentalSubstitute: She and Earl get a second chance to be parents by adopting a Whisperer baby that Alpha almost leaves to the walkers. Though she quickly gets attached to the child, new motherhood is tragically short-lived for Tammy, as she is killed by the Whisperers themselves only a few days later.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a result of her husband being a CompositeCharacter of her canonical husband Morton Rose and Earl Sutton.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Never seen before Season 9, but the characters are familiar with her.
* ThickerThanWater: She admits Earl made a terrible mistake letting himself get drunk and going along with Gregory's scheme, but she still loves him nonetheless and forgives him.
* WhatTheHellHero: She chews out Maggie when Ken is killed on a supply run, and later when she is prevented from visiting her husband when he's imprisoned.

The son of Earl and Tammy. He is mortally wounded by a horse he was trying to save from walkers and gets bit, and dies from shock and blood loss. Gregory uses his parent's grief to lure Earl into helping him make a play for leadership.
----
* 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.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart was beheaded by Alpha, while the Whisperers are only introduced to the show five episodes after his death in the Season 9 premiere.
* DecompositeCharacter: His character development from the comics is given to Eugene (as the injured party hiding from the Whisperers) and Alden/Luke (as one of the two Hilltop residents captured by the Whisperers and later returned).
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Gregory mentions that he looked after the animals, and Ken's efforts to save a horse from being devoured by walkers ends up costing him his life.
* InNameOnly: The one thing he has in common with the Ken from the comics is his friendship with Marco.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: The group amputates his arm in an effort to save his life, though he still dies from the blood loss.

* TheBusCameBack: After being MIA since Season 9, he finally returns in the Season 11 premiere.
* TheCameo: An extremely minor role for a somewhat well-known actor like C. Thomas Howell. Howell is friends with Creator/MichaelCudlitz (who directed the episode in which he first appears, "Stradivarius") and was offered the part due to his ability to deliver lines while riding a horse at high speed and without the use of a stuntman. Howell's only condition before accepting the role was that the door be left open for him to return for future appearances. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Roy is killed two episodes into Season 11.]]

!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E07Stradivarius Stradivarius]]"

A teenager living in Hilltop who befriends Henry after he arrives from the Kingdom to train as a blacksmith. She quickly gets a crush on him and tries to woo him, but she doesn’t get much of a chance since he meets and falls for Lydia. She attends the fair and ends up as one of the victims of Alpha during the pike massacre.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Kal is seen training her with a spear in one episode, and she helps defend one of the convoys to the fair. Addy even saves Gage's life when he is almost bit by a walker at the convoy.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She ultimately never has a decent chance with Henry, especially since he quickly meets Lydia.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Her decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* CanonForeigner: She never appeared in the comics.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She's slightly hostile towards Lydia for getting in the way of her and Henry.
* DecapitationPresentation: Her head is put on a pike by the Whisperers both to mark their territory and to serve as warning for the community.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She is willing to break Hilltop's rules a bit by sneaking out and drinking, but is disgusted that Gage and Rodney keep one trapped in a pit to taunt, throw necklaces at, and piss on. Addy walks away in disgust when her friends show it to Henry.
* OffWithHerHead: Beheaded by the Whisperers along with nine others.
* OnlySaneWoman: Out of her friends, she is the only one who is not dumb around walkers.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Introduced in Season 9, but has been a resident of the Hilltop the entire time. Justified due to being only a child prior to the timeskip.
* ShipTease: She flirts with Henry, but nothing comes of it due to him being put in jail for being drunk and disorderly and then Lydia's arrival the next day. She makes one last attempt at a pass at him at the Fair, but he’s already with Lydia by then.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Jackson Page
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 9-11)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS09E07Stradivarius Stradivarius]]"

A teenager living in Hilltop. He pressures Henry into drinking in the woods with him and his friends, and they leave Henry alone in a pit when he kills the walker they were playing with. Henry, Rodney, and Addy are all killed by Alpha, leaving Gage alone. He subsequently moves to Alexandria, where he once again begins bullying Lydia for her being Alpha's daughter. Though he's uncomfortable with how far his cohorts are willing to go, he doesn't do much to stop them, leading to Margo's death when Negan steps in.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:He may have been a jerk but watching him break down as Maggie refuses to let him inside the train car and he's faced with killing himself or trying to take on all the walkers alone means it's pretty difficult to cheer his death all the same. Not to mention that, for all his faults, he was still another teenager who had his life cut short by the harsh realities of the zombie apocalypse.]]
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:He reanimates after committing suicide, and is quickly put down by a shotgun blast to the face from Gabriel.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He bullied Lydia for most of his screen time so it's hard to feel too bad when he dies.]]
* ActionSurvivor: He's capable enough against walkers, but still has to be saved by Addy during the attack on the Hilltop convoy.
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:After being absent for almost a season, he returns in Season 11 and lasts two episodes before dying by his own hand on the mission to Meridian.]]
* BadLiar: Gabriel doesn't buy his attempts to justify why him and his friends were caught attacking Lydia.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He chooses to commit suicide instead of be torn to pieces by walkers while still alive.]]
* TheBully: He picks on Henry and Lydia for no reason. It becomes slightly more understandable (if still inexcusable) when the Whisperers kill his friends and he blames Lydia.
* TheBusCameBack: After being MIA for most of Season 10, he finally returns in the Season 11 premiere.
* CanonForeigner: He never appeared in the comics.
* DevouredByTheHorde: [[spoiler:After he dies his body is partly eaten by walkers.]]
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:His eyes remain open as his corpse is devoured by walkers.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:When faced with a lot of walkers he stabs himself in the heart.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: While he has no qualms about openly bullying Lydia he's later ''very'' reluctant to actually harm her. It doesn't stop him from joining in on Margo and Alfred's beatdown of her, however.
* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler:He invokes this on the group by looking them right in the eyes as he stabs himself, and then giving them a front row seat to the walkers devouring his corpse.]]
* HateSink: His two biggest defining traits are being a jerk and a bully, so it's not hard to dislike him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a total douchebag to Lydia and Henry. Though he seems to get along fine with everyone else, especially Addy and Rodney.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Ditching the group in the subway tunnels without their weapons doesn't earn him any favors and leads to them refusing to help him to safety when he finds himself trapped by a horde of walkers.]]
* MauveShirt: [[spoiler:He outlives his friends and joins the SuicideMission to Meridian but ends up being the journey’s first casualty before the group even encounters the Reapers.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He briefly shows remorse for his actions when Negan breaks up the attack on Lydia, claiming, "We were just trying to scare her."
* NeverMyFault: He tries to shift the blame for Margo's death on Negan, ignoring that it wouldn't have happened if he and his friends hadn't attacked Lydia in the first place.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Never seen before Season 9, but he's lived at Hilltop for most of his life, meaning he was present during the Savior War.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He and Roy flee with the group's weapons cache after being swayed by Negan's words about continuing to travel in the subway tunnels.]]
* SoleSurvivor: The only one of his friends not to end up with his head on a pike. [[spoiler:He finally meets his end in "Acheron, Part II".]]
* TrueCompanions: Say what you want about the guy, but he genuinely cared for his friends Addy and Rodney.

Rodney and Gage later bully Lydia at the fair, and Rodney ends up becoming one of Alpha’s victims in the pike massacre.
----
* ActionSurvivor: He's capable enough against walkers, but in the end, he’s the only pike victim who's too afraid to fight back against the Whisperers, and is defended by Tammy until their deaths.
* AllMenArePerverts: He jokes about wanting to become a fisherman so he can move to Oceanside, which is an all-female community.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: His decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* AssholeVictim: Downplayed, as he’s hardly a little monster like Ron Anderson, but he was generally a condescending jackass who bullied Henry and Lydia, and did little to help keep Hilltop and his friends safe. Not many are going to miss him.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: A recurring theme around Gregory is how his attempts to make things better for himself always end up shooting himself in the foot.
** Bullying and demeaning Maggie in their meeting right before getting stabbed in the stomach convinces Maggie of his true nature - that he's a weak, cowardly man with an act that she can now see through, and thus she's able to use his earlier advice regarding leverage to broker the deal between Alexandria and Hilltop.
** Attempting to sell out the hiding Maggie and Sasha, failing Jesus's SecretTestOfCharacter, finally convinces Jesus that he's not worth listening to in the slightest and sets him up to start grooming Maggie for the role of leader.
** Going to the Sanctuary to order the Hilltop fighters in the attacking militia to stand down only proves that he doesn't care about his constituents' well-being, and they swear loyalty to Maggie on the spot. It removes Gregory from his position of power and incurs the wrath of Simon when he sees that Hilltop's people are no longer loyal to him.
** After the Savior War, he calls for an election out of some delusion that he's going to be appointed leader again. All it does is ensure that Maggie, the woman who actually led Hilltop during their successful war against the Saviors, receives a legal election to the office of Hilltop's leader, unlike Gregory who simply appointed himself leader at its' founding.
** Finally, enacting one final coup attempt by using Earl to try to kill Maggie quickly unravels when Earl is stopped and Maggie catches him. It destroys the good will he had built up for himself over the last 18 months since the election, and while some survivors express discomfort with his execution, nobody tries to stop it.

* StaticCharacter: Gregory begins his run on the series as a cowardly, self-righteous ass and ends his run on the series as a cowardly, self-righteous ass. His complete lack of any HiddenDepths or sympathetic traits is done intentionally to the point of becoming a trait in and of itself: it's just not in his nature to have any capacity for true, positive change, as Maggie notes when recounting to Michonne why she finally chose to have him executed.
