Gabriel Stokes (Comic Series)

Father Gabriel Stokes is a preacher who comes across the survivors after leaving his church, where he had been hiding from the undead.

After-Apocalypse
The survivors are very suspicious of his story, and don't trust him. After the group brutally mutilates and kills the hunters as Gabriel watches, Gabriel expresses remorse and extreme guilt for surviving several months alone in the church by turning away his followers and any other civilians when the zombie attacks started. So far he's trying to keep some spiritual faith for himself and the survivors.

Alexandria Safe-Zone
He followed Rick Grimes and the others when they slaughtered the Hunters, leaving him mortified. He travels successfully to the Alexandria Safe-Zone. He seems to be doing well adjusting to living there, aside from the crowdedness of living with the group in Rick's house. Eventually the walls of the community are expanded and a church becomes available to Gabriel where his sermons are well received. He becomes convinced God led him to the survivors so he could eventually preach at this church. Later on, he tries to get the rest of the survivors exiled from the Safe-Zone because of what they did to The Hunters, however Douglas Monroe does not agree with Gabriel's belief that the groups actions were evil and decides to ignore his request.

Alexandria Safe-Zone Chaos
In Issue 82, when the zombies get in the Safe-Zone, he's seen in his church crying. He lets Eugene and Nicholas in, before the zombies reach them.

In Issue 84, after watching Rick and Michonne fighting endlessy against the zombie horde, it may have inspired the men. Eugene and Nicholas come over their fears and go out to help Rick and Michonne. They also eventually convince Gabriel to stop hiding and help. While he's shown clearly afraid, he still joins the group and helps the fight. He, along with the others, survive and win the zombie attack. Although he's left stunned, most likely by his actions or that he survived the fight.
