Due to the Anyone Can Die nature of the show and quickly moving plots, only spoilers from the current/most recent season will be spoiled out to prevent entire pages of whited out text. These spoiler tags will be removed upon the debut of the following season, and the character bios will be updated then as well. Additionally, character portraits will be updated each half-season with the release of an official, complete set from AMC. If you have not seen the first six seasons read at your own risk!

Abigail Estate

Abigail

Thomas Abigail

"Will you look after him when I'm gone?"

Portrayed by: Dougray Scott

"You don’t have to care for that to which you are obligated."

Victor Strand's business partner and lover.

Boom, Headshot!: He gets put down by Strand, which he specifically requested before dying. This enrages Celia, who believes that walkers aren't actually dead. Thomas obviously didn't agree with her.
Disposable Love Interest: He's Strand's love interest, and the first death of a person (maybe the only person) he truly cared about.
Dying Declaration of Love: He admits to Strand how much he loved him before dying.
Holding Hands: Strand doesn't let go of his until the very end.
Let Them Die Happy: Strand's departing words to him are another lie in the end.
Mauve Shirt: Gets a few moments of serious character development before dying.
Mercy Kill: Strand puts an end to his suffering.
Nice Guy: He forgives Strand for swindling him out of $36,000, welcomes dozens of people into his home during the apocalypse, is horrified by the parishioners being turned into walkers, and waits for Strand until the very end.
Satellite Love Interest: His character mostly revolves around Strand.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's not a very present character, but he's the driving force behind Strand's character development and directly affects every action of his throughout the first two seasons.
Straight Gay: He's Strand's boyfriend and lacks any stereotypical effeminate traits.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Strand believes this, stating that the world itself was never good enough for Thomas. And considering how many people Thomas welcomed into his home during the apocalypse, it may be true to an extent.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He receives two episodes before dying.

Luis

Luis Flores

Portrayed by: Arturo Del Puerto

An associate of Thomas Abigail and Victor Strand.

And Then John Was a Zombie: Comes back as a walker trapped in his mother's cellar.
Cold Sniper: Kills two pirates with ease in his first episode.
Deadpan Snarker: Shares this trait with Strand.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Gets a very sudden death early into his third episode.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He begs Nick to tell his mother he loved her before dying.
Mercy Kill: Daniel puts him down by burning his walker body.
Neat Freak: Refuses to let a bloodied Nick sit in a car that he was abandoning, anyways.
Sacrificial Lion: The only casualty of the boat's crew.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He gets three episodes without any character development before dying.

Celia

Celia Flores

"If your child was hungry, would you not feed them?"

Portrayed by: Marlene Forte

"Our dead, and they are our dead, they have always walked amongst us."

Luis' mother. A servant of Thomas Abigail's, who more or less raised him as her own.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Behaves like a sweet motherly figure while being responsible for poisoning an entire church that mobilized to take on the zombies that she was keeping in her basement
Early-Bird Cameo: Shows up briefly in Strand's flashbacks, only to play a more prominent role in the present day.
Evil Matriarch: Celia rules over Thomas' estate with an iron fist, keeps walkers in a wine cellar, punishes anyone who disagrees with her, and is directly responsible for Thomas' death due to her poisoning of the parishioners.
Face Death with Dignity: When Madison locks her up with walkers, Celia rolls her eyes at this as if it were nothing.
My Beloved Smother: Rather devoted to Thomas, to the point where many viewers thought that she was HIS mother.
Never Found the Body: We never actually see her as a zombie, though it's heavily implied that Griselda was standing in for her.
Obnoxious In-Laws: Although Thomas is technically not her son and is technically not married to Strand, she functions as one for Strand, having never approved of his relationship with Thomas.
Offing the Offspring: She partially raised Thomas and is directly responsible for him being bitten by a walker, which she caused by poisoning the parishioners.
Too Dumb to Live: She actually trusts Madison to have her back when they enter into her walker-filled cellar, leaving the keys in the gate, and turning her back to her for a long time.
Uncertain Doom: She's last seen trapped in her own cellar with walkers, but she doesn't seem to react as if this is the end of her life. Once Daniel enters the cellar later, the walkers are not shown eating her remains and she is never found.
Zombie Advocate: To a more extreme extent than even Lizzie, as she is perfectly willing to murder living people in order to protect the undead.

La Colonia

Luciana

Luciana Galvez

Portrayed By: Danay Garcia

Seasons: 2-8

A member of La Colonia, a survivor community in Tijuana, Baja California. She joins the group as they travel through North America.

Badass in Distress: She's critically wounded in the season 2 finale, and as a result starts the third season needing medical attention.
Big Good: By Season 8 she leads a good chunk of PADRE's remaining forces who were based on the mainland. After Madison's apparent death, she becomes the leader of all of MADRE and the heroes who remain with the group.
A Day in the Limelight: Season 7’s “Ofelia” focuses heavily on her and Daniel’s relationship despite his worsening condition. It also shows more of her wily side since she helps manipulate Daniel, as well as her leadership abilities as she convinces the Stalkers to join the group.
Defrosting Ice Queen: She starts to warm up to Nick and form a love for him.
The Dragon: To Alejandro.
Guile Hero: In Season 7 she resorts to tricking a delusional Daniel into thinking that Strand has Ofelia captive at the Tower, knowing Daniel will stop at nothing to get to her.
The Lancer: In Season 7 she starts taking more of a leadership role among the group. In Season 8, she graduates to the leader of her own group independent of PADRE.
Official Couple: With Nick.
Out of Focus: Gets less and less focus with each passing season. Subverted in Season 7, where she finally gets an entire episode in the spotlight alongside Daniel, and Season 8 has her as a main character once she returns.
Put on a Bus: Leaves Nick during season 3 and doesn't return until the first episode of season 4.
Replacement Goldfish: Eventually becomes a sort of replacement for the late Ofelia to Daniel. He later admits this, but during a time of delusion he tries to deny it due to believing Ofelia is still alive.
Secret Test of Character: She tested Nick to see if he was good enough to earn her heart.
Spicy Latina: She's Hispanic and a hardened survivor.

The Chains of Command: Reveals that he never asked to be the leader of his community but took leadership anyway since he's The Immune.
Dirty Coward: He's too afraid to stand up against the supplier gang and refuses to take Nick's advice to fight them. Subverted in the Season 2 finale when he dies killing Marco and his bandits.
Dying Moment of Awesome: Despite dying of the infection, he goes down taking out Marco and all his bandits by allowing a horde of infected to swarm the community with the bandits trapped inside, killing all of them.
Fake Ultimate Hero: He presented himself as the immune hero in a zombie world who'd guide his town to safety, but reveals to Nick and Luciana that he was never immune.
I Lied: He was never immune to the virus.
The Immune: He was apparently bitten by a walker and didn't turn, and he has a bite mark on his left shoulder. This immunity is revealed to be a falsehood.
The Leader: He watches over the Tijuana colony.
Mercy Kill: Madison puts him down after he tells her where Nick is.
Non-Action Guy: He's more of a leader than a fighter.

Portrayed by: Kelly Blatz

A God Am I: He believes he and his friends have become gods in the apocalypse, being able to do whatever they want and not having anybody stop them with rules.

Villains Want Mercy: He is begging Travis not to kill him when he and Derek are being beat by him after learning they killed Chris. It doesn't work.

Derek

Portrayed by: Kenny Wormald

Dirty Coward: Begs Travis for mercy when he attacks him and Brandon for killing Chris.
