Alexander Davidson (Comic Series)

Alexander Davidson was the founder of the Alexandria Safe-Zone. He started building the fence. Douglas Monroe came later.

Before the apocalypse, Alexander was a security liaison for the White House and Douglas' best friend. Alexander knew about the Alexandria Safe-Zone and invited Douglas to come.

Douglas explained to Rick that at first being in the community was a rewarding experience, and that Davidson was a good leader, "the man for the job":
 * "But then things changed. He didn't rape those women...not exactly...but he knew what he was doing. He was in a position to keep them safe...offer them more protection...or none at all."

Douglas learned about this after Beth killed herself. Davidson was "forcing people into jobs they didn't want, putting others in danger instead of himself."

Douglas burnt a zombie to double as Davidson. He then exiled Davidson.

Within the scope of the Alexandia arc, Davidson is somewhat of a bogeyman. The very mention of his name, makes Douglas angered with rage and frightens his wife Regina. Rick has elicited unfavourable comparisons to him, much to the chagrin of Monroe, but very little had been revealed about him up until Issue 76.

Trivia

 * In Issue 75, Rick passes by Alexander Davidson's gravestone after arguing with Douglas about Pete, introducing the reader to Davidson's first name.
