Gargulio (TV Series)

"This is some serious shit. That's what you said."

- Gargulio telling Merle that he doesn't want to lie to The Governor.

Gargulio, known as "Neil" to Merle, is a resident of Woodbury and recently recruited member of the Woodbury Army. At first, he appears to be nervous and timid, but grows bolder as time goes on.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Gargulio's life before or as the outbreak began. He may have lived in or near Woodbury, Georgia.

"Hounded"
Gargulio is first seen with Merle, Tim, and Crowley pursuing Michonne after she departed Woodbury. She surprises them in the woods, attacking the group, killing Tim and Crowley. Shortly after, nearby walkers are attracted to the noise and get immersed in the battle. Merle is in a struggle with one, and Gargulio saves his life by stabbing it in the head. After Michonne escapes and the walkers are eliminated, Gargulio reluctantly destroys Crowley's brain before reanimation. Following this, Merle states that they should return to Woodbury, but Gargulio, exhilarated by the experience, wants to continue the pursuit. Arguing with Merle about this and about lying to The Governor, he is betrayed and shot in the head by Merle.

Gargulio is one of the Woodbury citizens mentioned by The Governor when he lists the dead to Andrea.

Merle Dixon
Merle and The Governor trained Gargulio as part of Woodbury's army. Due to Merle's inaccurate pronunciation of Gargulio's name, Merle just called him, "Neil". While hunting down Michonne after she departed Woodbury, Gargulio was starting to get nervous about the mission, but Merle told him to snap out of it. When Michonne came out of the blue and killed Tim and Crowley, Merle and Neil were chasing down Michonne before walkers showed up and attacked Merle and Neil, allowing Michonne to escape. Neil saved Merle's life by killing one of the walkers that was fighting Merle. Afterwards, Merle wanted to go back to Woodbury because he assumed that Michonne was surely dead. Neil, however, wanted to chase down Michonne because he thought they were close to killing her and still believed that they would have a chance of killing her. Merle had another idea, wanting to lie to The Governor about Michonne, but Neil still wanted to go on and track Michonne down. Merle then killed Gargulio shortly after the argument.

Trivia

 * Gargulio was one of the many characters with a continuing nickname. However, his nickname is only used by Merle Dixon as he couldn't pronounce his actual name, naming him Neil.
