Iris
Iris Bennett
"We're ten years in now. We live for the rest who didn't."
Portrayed By: Aliyah Royale
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
"I live for my mom, who died that night, ten years ago today, like so many others. And I live for my father, who is far away, doing important work that will one day benefit us all."
Leo Bennett's daughter and Student Council President, who holds out hope that her father's work could lead to a cure.
- Action Girl: She finally becomes one in the Season 2 premiere. She kills a CRM soldier by herself, shooting him in the shoulder from behind, and then stabbing him multiple times.
- Bleed 'Em and Weep: She cries profusely after killing a CRM soldier.
- Eating the Eye Candy: When she treats Percy's gunshot wound, she points out that she'll need him to remove his shirt to treat the exit wound. The smile on her face indicates this might not be true, and no matter if it is, she seems rather happy to see the nicely built Percy without a shirt.
- The Idealist: Is convinced that humanity can and will recover from the Empties.
- Took a Level in Badass: The first fight she gets into is with a walker...and she can barely do anything, and even throws up after pinning it down. Come the Season 2 premiere, she kills a CRM soldier by herself.

- The Cynic: Is convinced humanity is on the path to extinction, and that any attempts to bring back civilization are fruitless.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Saw her adopted mother die when the apocalypse began. And accidentally killed the pregnant woman who shot her.

- Ironic Name: Hope is the cynical and much less hopeful of the two sisters.
Campus Colony
Elton
Elton Ortiz
Portrayed By: Nicolas Cantu
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
"Given the human race's six hundred thousand, and factoring in other miscellaneous variables, I'd say we have about fifteen years till we're gone."
- An Arm and a Leg: He loses his arm to a zombie bite.
- Broken Pedestal: To his mother. He's horrified to learn that his mother killed Iris and Hope's mother in front of the latter, and holds his mother responsible for her own death.
- Ship Tease: Grows close to Asha, though nothing comes of it by the Grand Finale.
- Zombie Infectee: He gets bitten on his arm in the series finale. He survives through amputation of said arm.
Felix
Felix Carlucci
Portrayed By: Nico Tortorella
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
"What am I doing here? Well, uh, your dad gave me a life, something I can be grateful for. Even if that means trying to get you to stop pulling this crap that you do."
- Forced Out of the Closet: When his dad finds some of his emails, and subsequently disowns him, in the series backstory.
- I Have No Son!: Felix's father's reaction to finding out Felix is gay.
- Straight Gay: Absolutely nothing effeminate, campy, overly macho, or otherwise stereotypical about him. Trains others in hand-to-hand combat versus zombies.
The Alliance of the Three
In General
- The Alliance: They're a diplomatic and trade pact between survivor communities in Portland, Omaha (and its colony at the University of Nebraska), and the Civic Republic (a military state in Philadelphia).
Civic Republic
Lyla
Lyla Belshaw
Portrayed By: Natalie Gold
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Dies being fed to a walker with no way to protect herself, all after learning her gamble for her and Leo and his family’s lives failed.
- Gone Horribly Right: She sells out her lover and his family for stealing a vial from the CRM, but she invokes Saying Too Much so that she can make him indispensable to the project of which she was part of. It works...so much that Jadis decides that Lyla has outlived her usefulness.
- Karmic Death: The last living man who she killed begged her for mercy from behind a wall, and she turned off audio to not hear him continuing to cry. She dies exactly this way, and is killed by his reanimated corpse. She also is killed immediately after selling out her lover and his family, but this is a subversion because she sells them out and then voices every secret in order to make him indispensable to their upcoming project.
- Second Love: For Leo.
Dennis
Dennis Graham
Portrayed By: Maximilian Osinski
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Season 2)
Huck's husband, and a former master sergeant for the CRM.
- Boom, Headshot!: How Silas kills him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He tells Silas to execute him so he will look like a hero and not be killed by the CRM soldiers.
Military
In General
Appearances: The Walking Dead | Fear the Walking Dead | The Walking Dead: World Beyond | The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
The armed forces of the Civic Republic, led by Major General Jonathan Beale. Signing a pact with the CR, they were given unilateral authority over their own operations outside of the city-state for ten years. However, they prove to not be willing to return that power.
- Armies Are Evil: The CRM are established as a genocidal and power-hungry regime who do not want to give up their power back to the Civic Republic itself. Believing only they can lead humanity into the future, they’ve been covertly wiping out their other communities.
- Big Brother Is Watching: They keep tabs on virtually every large community on the continent of North America. The opening credits of The Ones Who Live show details such as Texas and Louisiana being marked with a radioactive symbol showing they are aware of Teddy Maddox's nuking of the region in Fear.
- Black Helicopter: They make use of these, with one of their helicopters first glimpsed in Season 8 as Rick notices it flying away from the Scavengers' junkyard. Jadis later summons it for passage away from Washington, and trades an incapacitated Rick for entry into Philadelphia.
- Decapitated Army: The CRM is critically wounded when Rick and Michonne wipe out Beale and the majority of the CRM's leadership at the Cascadia Summit. The remnants are too weak to resist when the Civic Republic retakes firm control of the military.
- Did Not Think This Through: Annihilating every other community on the continent is a foolish waste of resources that will only reduce the resources available on the continent after such a raze, but this never occurred to anyone within the CRM.
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: They're convinced that the CR will have to suck it up that they're planning to seize martial rule over the city-state since that's what it'll take for the CRM to supposedly keep control and safety of them all.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Not just to World Beyond, but to the Walking Dead TV franchise as a whole. First appearing in Season 8 of the mothership series as a mysterious group with Black Helicopters that Jadis' scavengers have some secretive arrangement with, Season 5 of Fear the Walking Dead further expands on them by making it clear they have supply depots all over the country, are monitoring survivor enclaves everywhere, and are willing to kill anyone who learns of their existence. This show finally makes them the main antagonists, explaining that they're the military wing of a fully reestablished and functioning city-state, which they view as civilization's last chance of survival which they are willing to do anything to protect. Even then, there's still a Greater-Scope Villain in the form of Major-General Beale, the head of the CRM, who signs off on all their actions (while keeping it a secret from the Civic Republic's civilian leadership), but remains The Ghost throughout World Beyond.
- Final Solution: Their endgame is to wipe out every other organized community in North America so they will reign supreme over the CR and the continent.
- Karmic Death: Most of their leadership is wiped out by Rick and Michonne as payback for keeping the former away from his family for so long, and they also perish in a massive explosion just like they did to Omaha, topped off with chlorine gas like they were using for their genocides.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: They are very thorough with their exterminations. Just two troopers from a reclamation team in Fear keep Morgan and Grace on the backfoot the entire episode.
- Outside-Context Villain: Due to the secrecy of their forces, only a few people outside of the CRM or the CR are aware of them. This is because they are preparing for a genocide of North America to wipe out every organized community with no warning.
- The Spook: Their motivations aren't clear in The Walking Dead and Fear. It's terrifying how little is actually known about them until World Beyond.
- The Remnant: The CRM are revealed to be the Pennsylvania National Guard following them defending Philadelphia from federal forces
- Resignations Not Accepted: If a CRM member goes AWOL, they will hunt them down to the ends of the earth if it means killing them as punishment for deserting.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The CRM see themselves as the last bastion of civilization, and will crush anything that opposes them. Even allied settlements that they see as useless drains of resources.
- Would Hurt a Child: Few to no children are spared if they decide to wipe out a community. Only a measly 10% of Portland's children were going to be extracted before the community was wiped out.
Beale
Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kublek
Portrayed By: Julia Ormond
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
"We have energy, water, medicine, transport, the Council, the courts, the schools, culture, currency, an economy, agriculture, manufacturing, law. We are the last light of the world. We are the last hope."
The leader of the Civic Republic Military force that arrived at Campus Colony for the tenth anniversary.
- Badass Longcoat: Elizabeth wears one.
- Big Bad: She takes out the Campus Colony and is covertly ensuring that her daughter Huck will acquire "the asset" from the group.
Huck
Jennifer "Huck" Mallick
Portrayed By: Annet Mahendru
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
- Action Girl: She's the most effective fighter in the series so far, matched only by Felix.
- Becoming the Mask: She's a spy for the CRM in the Campus Colony, and most of her friendships were built on lies. However, she genuinely cares for them, and whenever she needs to get rid of someone, she prefers to separate them without killing them, at least those that she has rapport with.
- Dark Action Girl: She was willing to set up the "bad seed" of the group, Silas, to take the fall for a murder he didn't commit to separate him from the others. She was also prepared to kill Felix, though she was hesitant to do so. She drops the "dark" completely in the second season.
- Dies Wide Open: Perishes this way in the Grand Finale, after being impaled in the side of her chest by Jadis.
- Foreshadowing: Her backstory has her killing her entire squad when they're given orders to kill every innocent civilian. This leads into the reveal that she had no idea about the purge of Omaha or the Campus Colony, and also establishes that she'd be against that kind of unnecessary violence and death.
- Locked Out of the Loop: She has no idea that her mother Elizabeth wiped out the Campus Colony. Huck intended to bring the others back to the colony after everything was said and done.
- The Mole: She's one for the CRM in the Campus Colony.
- Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: She offers Percy the chance to kill her if he so pleases, and even says that she deserves it, though she does remind him that they're in a CRM building, and that he'd never make it out alive. He ultimately doesn't do it.
- Redemption Equals Death: She ensures the destruction of the poison gas that would have been used to kill everyone in Portland. She ensures that her husband and Silas are a safe distance away, and stalls Jadis in a fight that ends with her death so that the CRM wouldn't be able to disarm it in time. She's implied to be invoking this to a degree, as she mentions in a prior episode that she deserves to be killed for the things she did for the CRM.
- Semper Fi: She used to be a lance corporal in the U.S. Marines.

Others
Percy
Percy
Portrayed By: Ted Sutherland
Appearances: The Walking Dead: World Beyond (Seasons 1-2)
- Boom, Headshot!: He dies by a headshot from a CRM soldier.
- Heel–Face Turn: He really wasn't that evil, but he and his uncle were engaging in theft of other survivors' resources. After encountering Iris and her group, both of them make a turn for the better.
- Mr. Fanservice: Among the young cast, he's the only one who gets Shirtless Scenes. They're present in the second season when Iris is treating his gunshot wound, and he's quite lean and fit.
- Official Couple: With Iris. He even decides not to kill Jennifer because he wanted to see her again.
- Revenge: He understandably wants to kill Jennifer/Huck for shooting him and killing his uncle. He's foiled both times, the second time being his own choice in deciding not to kill her.
- Token Evil Teammate: One of the more vicious members of the main cast. He’s outright sneering when he gets a chance to rob someone early into Season 2.
