* [[spoiler: DecoyProtagonist]] - DecoyBackstory: The book purports to be the origin story/StartOfDarkness of The Governor, the major villain of the series, who is a cruel, depraved KnightTemplar. It tells of two brothers, Philip and Brian Blake, who are trying to survive the ZombieApocalypse and [[HumansAreBastards their fellow man]], and Philip increasingly becomes HeWhoFightsMonsters and the meek, ineffectual Brian is the OnlySaneMan. [[spoiler:While it seems obvious that Philip will become the Governor, he gets killed off, and it turns out that this is actually Brian's StartOfDarkness, as he takes on his brother's identity and becomes The Governor.]]
