Gilad Grimes (Hebrew: גִּילְעָד גְּרַיְימְס, née Unknown) is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Television Universe. He is a main character and later a deuteragonist in The Walking Dead and a minor character in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. He is the adopted son of Rick Grimes and Lori Grimes, and the adopted brother of Carl, Judith, and R.J. Grimes.

Gilad was born in the outskirts of New York to unnamed Jewish parents. He lived a typical teenage life with his family until 2010, when the initial outbreak occurred. One fateful night, their home was invaded by dozens of Walkers, who gruesomely devoured his parents right in front of him. Forced to flee for his life, Gilad grabbed his father's revolver and escaped. After his parents' tragic death, Gilad wandered along the East Coast of the United States, from New York all the way down to Georgia, honing his survival skills, learning to hunt, and mastering the use of his father's revolver.

In Georgia, he is found by a group of survivors led by a former sherrif deputy Shane Walsh, who welcomes him into their group. Upon hearing Gilad's story, Lori chooses to adopt him, effectively making Carl his brother. A few days later, Lori's husband and Carl's father, Rick, who was believed to be dead, arrives at the camp and reunites with his family. Lori explains the situation to Rick, and the latter agrees to accept Gilad as his adopted son. In the Atlanta Camp walker invasion, despite the danger, Gilad helps the adults take out the walkers.

After narrowly escaping death during the destruction of the CDC and after Carl is accidentally shot by Otis, he and the group finds refuge at the Greene Family Farm, where the owner, Hershel Greene, allows them to stay. Gilad begins to form a friendly relationship with Hershel and his daughters, especially Maggie Greene. Following the farm's destruction and the group's brief split, Gilad reunites with his family on the nearby highway.

The group eventually finds the prison, where Gilad plays a significant role in taking it over, helping Rick and the others clear out the walkers both outside and inside and make the prison their new home. Shortly after Lori's death and the birth of Judith Grimes, a survivor named Michonne Hawthorne arrives at the prison. Despite her initial hostility, she and Gilad form a friendly relationship, eventually becoming friends.

Upon reaching the Alexandria Safe Zone, Gilad initially struggles to adapt to the peaceful life there. However, over time, he eventually manages to adjust. Meanwhile, Rick and Michonne form a relationship. Following Abraham Ford and Glenn Rhee's death, Gilad later becomes a soldier for the Militia in the war against Negan Smith and the Saviors.

After Carl's death, Gilad becomes deeply depressed. As they both grieve for Carl, Gilad and Enid become closer. Following the end of the war against the Saviors, their defeat and and Negan's imprisonment, Gilad continues to live in Alexandria in peace with his family.

After Rick's supposed death and Daryl Dixon's quest to locate him, despite his grief, Gilad assumes leadership in Alexandria alongside Michonne. He plays a pivotal role in co-parenting Judith and R.J.. Eventually, Michonne leaves to find Rick herself, leaving Gilad as the leader, alongside Aaron and Gabriel Stokes.

After moving to the Commonwealth, Gilad joins its army alongside Daryl and Rosita Espinosa. Upon discovering the corruption and true nature of Governor Pamela Milton, Gilad, along with the group, the leading officer of the Commonwealth Army Michael Mercer, and Pamela's opponents, join the revolution against her and her supporters. Ultimately, Pamela is arrested and imprisoned for life. A year after Pamela is overthrown and Ezekiel Sutton becomes the new governor, Gilad remains in the Commonwealth with his adoptive siblings while Daryl departs to find Rick and Michonne.

Almost a year later, after the defeat of the Civic Republic Military, Gilad, along with his adoptive siblings, was able to reunite with Rick and Michonne.

Overview

[edit]

Appearance

[edit]

Gilad is a man in his mid twenties, standing at 5'8" with a lean but muscular build. He has a shoulder-length dark brown hair, stubble beard, grey eyes and a huge, permanent knife scar across his right cheek, eye and forehead. As for clothes, Gilad typically wears a worn leather jacket over a dark, weather-beaten shirt, paired with sturdy jeans and scuffed boots.

Personality

[edit]

Gilad is often seen as a kind, loyal, sarcastic, and strong survivor. His strength and quick wit make him a valuable ally and a trusted friend among his group. However, beneath his tough exterior lies deep-seated trauma from witnessing his parents' deaths and later, the deaths of many of his friends. After Carl's death, Gilad becomes more depressed and serious, though his kindness and sarcasm remain. These traumatic experiences continue to haunt him, yet they also fuel his determination to survive and protect those he cares about—especially his adoptive family.
