!!Characters from the Hilltop Colony in the comic series ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'':

A massive farming community in Virginia of more than two-hundred survivors. Despite its size, the community has few guns, and was forced to work for the Saviors by giving them half of their food and supplies. To end this, the Hilltop Colony allied with the Alexandria Safe-Zone and the Kingdom to bring down the Saviors.

!!Paul "Jesus" Monroe
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jesus_twdc_4549.jpg]]
-->'''Debut:''' Issue 91

Jesus is a recruiter for the Hilltop Colony who encounters Rick's group in Issue 92. He doesn't agree with many of the decisions Gregory makes, but doesn't attempt to get him replaced because of how much the rest of the town likes him.
----
* ApologeticAttacker
* {{Badass}}: Fights more or less evenly with Michonne and Abraham ''at the same time'' in his introduction, and does pretty well, disarming Michonne and not getting shot by Abraham. He is also the only character who manages to put up an even fight against Negan, although he fails to kill him.
** BadassBeard
** BadassGay
** BadassLongcoat
* BerserkButton: ''Really'' doesn't like having guns pointed at him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the nicest guys in the series, and also one of the most lethal.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves the lives of Rick, Heath, Nicholas, and Holly when Negan is lining them up to be executed.
* {{Bookworm}}: Nearly all of his belongings at Hilltop are books.
* CombatParkour: He jumps and kicks a lot while engaging both zombies and humans in hand-to-hand combat, and he uses his quickness to dodge attacks and outflank opponents.
* DeadpanSnarker
* EscapeArtist: He has been captured and tied up twice, and both times waited until he had learned what he needed to before casually escaping.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Before joining the main group.
* InSeriesNickname: "Jesus", due to his looks.
** LooksLikeJesus
* IronicNickname: A guy nicknamed ''Jesus'' who goes up against villains named the ''Saviors?''
* TheLancer: Nominally, he's one to Gregory. By the end of Volume 19 he becomes one to Rick.
* LightningBruiser: He's extremely quick, and the few times he does get hit he is barely inconvenienced.
* MartialPacifist
* NiceGuy
* NiceHat
* NotUsingTheZWord: He refers to the zombies as "eaters".
* NumberTwo: To Gregory, although Jesus often goes against his wishes.
* OneManArmy: Wipes out an entire group of Whisperers ''by himself''.
* RedHerring: When he's first introduced the cast is highly suspicious of him and Rick fears that he may turn out to be the next Governor, but it's soon revealed that he's a good guy and ''Negan'', who Rick had never even heard of, is the true villain.
* {{Samurai}}: After the time skip.
* StealthHiBye: One of his skills, which includes getting out of bonds and escaping a moving car without being notice.
* StraightGay: Revealed to be in a relationship with another Hilltop resident named Alex in Issue 122.
* SubmissiveBadass: Despite being the strongest character in his settlement (and possibly the entire series) he takes orders from Gregory, Rick and later on [[spoiler:Maggie after she takes over the Hilltop.]]
* WarHawk: He wants war with the Saviors in order to end their tyranny over the Hilltop and other communities. He manages to convince many people to join him despite opposition from Gregory.
* TheWorfEffect: He introduces himself by kicking the crap out Abraham ''and'' Michonne ''at the same time.'' As if that wasn't enough, he clearly goes out of his way to not kill or even injure them, and spends the whole fight casually insisting he just wants to talk. One Hell of an EstablishingCharacterMoment.

[[folder: Gregory]]
!!Gregory
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gregory_twdc_7572.png]]
-->'''Debut:''' Issue 95

Gregory is the leader of Hilltop, and likes to take credit for its success even though he is little more than a figurehead. He is the one who agreed to bow to The Saviors demands and give them half the towns supplies.
----
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He honestly believes that he is what holds Hilltop together and that they are only alive because of him. He even seems to delude himself into thinking that he never knew Jesus was taking soldiers to fight the Saviors.
* BigBadWannabe: He might lead his own colony, but he gets pretty much zero respect from most people and is nothing more than a pathetic pawn of Negan.
* BreakTheHaughty: After Gregory [[spoiler:tried to side with Negan]], the residents of Hilltop lose what little respect or liking they had for Gregory and he is quickly overthrown by [[spoiler:Maggie]] after getting knocked down in once punch.
* LesCollaborateurs: [[spoiler: To Negan.]]
* CultColony: Michonne thinks Gregory has turned Hilltop into this. Eventually {{subverted}} when it is revealed that everyone in Hilltop thinks he is an idiot, but no one else is willing to step up to lead.
* DirtyCoward: He's too afraid to try and stand up to Negan on his own, even though he has more than 200 people living in Hilltop's well-fortified walls. Instead he decides to let Rick's group take all the risk, and after Negan [[spoiler:murders Glenn]], Gregory panics and demands to know is if Negan has any idea that Gregroy had taken Rick's offer to fight the Saviors.
* DirtyOldMan: Hits on all the women in Hilltop, and even "accidently" walks in on Maggie while Dr. Carson is checking on her pregnancy.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: In ''All Out War'', he sides with Negan after being threatened and declares that anyone who follows Jesus in fighting against the Saviors will be banished from Hilltop, along with their families]].
* FailedASpotCheck: He only realizes Rick is missing his right hand when Rick points it out to him on their second meeting.
* HateSink: [[BigBad Negan]] is too awesome to truly hate, so Gregory picks up the slack with his cowardice, insensitivity and stupidity.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In issue 134 he criticizes Maggie for not sending a rescue party for the missing Dante, and even suggests that he [[BlatantLies will lead it himself]]. Not only is this rich coming from [[DirtyCoward Gregory]], but Maggie points out that he probably doesn't even know how to ride a horse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Every single decision he makes is designed to benefit him in some way.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In his one appearance in Volume 21, he actually seems to have improved his behavior after [[spoiler: losing his position as leader]], risking his life to drag the injured Rick inside his house. However, in Volume 22 Maggie mentions that even two years later he hasn't changed his ways at all and is still insufferable.
* KickTheDog: He might have been too much of an idiot to realize how cruel it was, but when he said that Negan is reasonable [[spoiler: to the wife of the man who was ''murdered in front of her by him'']] no no one felt bad when she punched him in the face.
* TheLeader: Type IV.
* PointyHairedBoss: It is very clear that he is doing very little to actually run Hilltop, and at one point he admits to Jesus that he has no idea '''''how many people even live there'''''.
* {{Pride}}: He makes many claims about having a strong "iron will", and tells to Jesus that he is the only thing which holds Hilltop together and stopped Negan from killing them all.
* RunningGag: Forgetting the names of other people, including Rick and Maggie. [[WordOfGod Robert Kirkman]] said it was another way to show what a "shitty" person Gregory is, since he cares so little about others that he doesn't bother to remember their names.
