Rick Grimes (TV Series)

Rick Grimes is a police officer and survivor of the undead apocalypse. He lived in the small town of Cynthiana, Kentucky where he made a living fighting crime. He fell in love with a woman named Lori and the two married and had a son named Carl. He became friends with Shane Walsh who was also his partner, who would later have an affair with Lori. After being wounded in a shootout, Rick is rushed to the hospital where he soon suffered a coma. Upon awakening, he discovers that the hospital and town have been overrun by the undead. He eventually escapes the hospital unscathed, but exhausted due to his lack of medical attention. Two survivors, Morgan Jones and his son Duane, confuse Grimes for a zombie and knock him out. They soon realize he is a true human survivor and let him go. He trains the Jones family and supplies them with weapons from the Cynthiana Police Department. Grimes leaves the two to fend for themselves. After his vehicle runs out of gas, Grimes acquires a horse which takes him to Atlanta where he is swarmed by zombies. He narrowly escapes and burrows himself inside a M1A2 Abrams tank. Grimes is given advice and a way out from a stranger who radioed in to the tank. Rick follows the voice's advice and breaks free only armed with a 12-round Beretta. He meets up with a young Korean-American by the name of Glenn. He joins Glenn's group and proceeds on an adventure of rescuing other survivors and battling the walking dead.
