Merle Dixon
"Now, how's about a big hug for your old pal Merle?"

- Merle

Merle Dixon is the brother of Daryl Dixon, and a former U.S. soldier and drug dealer, turned skilled survivor in the zombie apocalypse. Met by Rick Grimes as the "de facto" leader of a small group of survivors trapped within a department store. After a tussle between Dixon and another member of the group, he is knocked out by Rick and handcuffed to a pipe on the roof. Left alone, Merle cuts off his hand with a saw to escape, and is no where to be seen when Rick's group goes back for him with his brother.

Despite his presumed death, the group encounters Merle much later, as the right-hand man of none other than The Governor of Woodbury, this time armed with a makeshift hand-bayonet as a replacement for his missing hand. Merle is eventually sent by the Governor to kill Michonne, but after failing to do so, lies to him about killing her. After the attack on Woodbury by the prison group, The Governor rallies the town to the arena, and forces a shocked Merle to fight his captive brother Daryl. The two manage to escape, and eventually go back to the prison where Merle is widely hated for his previous actions.

Merle is later tasked with bringing Michonne to the Governor after she is offered to bring a truce between the prison and Woodbury, but later lets her go on their way to the Governor's hideout. Merle drives a car playing loud music with walkers following it into the hideout, jumping out before he can be seen. Armed with his assault rifle, he goes on a killing spree as the soldiers defend themselves. However, a walker surprises Merle, and after killing it his location is revealed, and the Governor brutally beats Merle and shoots him in the chest, leaving him to reanimate as a walker. A saddened Daryl later puts his brother to rest after stabbing him.

Trevor Phillips
"The guns and crank in this area go through Trevor Phillips Enterprises, or they ain't going!"
