Biography
Carl Grimes
Carl's father was still in coma when the plague hit, so Rick's best friend and fellow officer, Shane, took him and his mother to Atlanta seeking for safety, as that was what Rick would've wanted. The city was already overrun by the time they arrived, but, luckily they managed to find a camp of survivors in its outskirts. Several weeks later and the camp's supply runner, Glenn Rhee, rescued a man in the city who turned out to be his father, who woke up from the coma and traveled to Atlanta to find them. He is beyond relieved to see his father alive again. He learns how to use a gun, along with the rest of the group much to his mother's displeasure, and even kills his first zombie during the night of the camp attack. Later, he witnesses Shane trying to kill his father, and shoots him in the neck, saving Rick. When the survivors begin to relocate to another spot, Carl is accidentally shot by Otis and brought to the Greene family farm, where he is treated by Hershel Greene. They remain on the farm for some time, until they are forced to leave by Hershel, after an argument with Carl's father. This forces them to hit the road once again, until Dale and Andrea stumble upon the prison while searching for supplies. After the discovery of the prison, Carl is babysat by Chris and Julie, much to Carl's dismay. Sophia asks Carl to be her boyfriend, but Carl refuses. Carl is seen enjoying life at the prison. After Rick and Tyreese's fight, it is revealed that Carl was not worried of his father's condition, saying that "My dad's real tough. I wasn't worried at all." At the prison, Lori tells Carl that he'll have his own cell when Rick gets back. Carl is happy about it, and asks if Lori is worried about him. Lori says that she isn't, but, Carl states that he notices she's always upset when he leaves, but, says there's nothing to worry about. Lori agrees, but, she is still nervous when she tries to go to sleep. Due to Lori and Carol's strained relationship, Lori restricts Carl from playing with Sophia.
After his father returns from trying to locate a downed chopper, and his father’s experiences at Woodbury, Carl is forced to get used to his father without the use of his right hand. When his father Rick chases after Woodbury's Caesar Martinez, who plans to alert Woodbury where the prison is, Carl asks Tyreese whether his father loves him, because he is always leaving him, and Tyreese assures him that he does love him, and that his going out there all the time means he's trying to protect him, along with everyone else. Carl is pleased with the birth of his sister, Judith, and likes her name. Carl calls Judith 'cute' and 'lucky' to be born into this family. Lori tells Rick of how she is pleased with Carl's growing independence in this new world. After Carol's suicide, Carl tries to comfort Sophia to no avail. When Woodbury attacks the prison, Carl is one of the few to be there, until the prison falls to the Governor and his men, and barely escapes with his father. Lori and Judith are killed before they leave the prison. Carl looks back to see what happened, but Rick makes him keep running. Once they reach relative safety from the violence taking place at the prison, Carl and his father then begin to mourn the death of Lori, Judith, and the others lost in the assault.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Carl Grimes was an adolescent Caucasian male with black hair and brown eyes. He shares the same hair color with his mother and over time he matured physically and grows out his hair.
Notably, whenever Carl expresses his anger at people, he seems to mimic Negan's heavy use of profanities and overall threatening demeanor. This is seen when Carl aggressively confronts the parents of the boys who attacked Sophia, telling them "You fucking fuckwads can go fuck yourselves." Additionally, when Carl confronts Sebastian Milton after the latter murdered Rick Grimes, Carl vocally relishes the idea of watching Sebastian rot behind bars and threatens to hurt him should he escape. He ends this confrontation with a "Ta-ta"- the very same phrase used by Negan after he'd finished beating Glenn to death.
