Will Dixon (Survival Instinct)

"Help....me..."

- Will to his son and Jess after being disemboweled by walkers.

Will Dixon is an original character in The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.

Location Unknown
Will Dixon was the father of Daryl and Merle Dixon. He was a man that was always drunk and abused Merle and Daryl numerous times after their mother died, which was caused by their house burning down. Will quit showing any affection that he had for them after the incident. While Merle was in jail, Will started going hunting with Daryl and Jess on a couple of on and off months. Daryl was the son he cared a little for, as he would always blame Merle for the death of his wife.

Survival Instinct
Will is first seen in the forest, hunting with Buck. Buck wanders off and Will goes to search the creek-bed for deer. Will finds a small group of deer, and as he is about to shoot one, Buck screams for Will's help. When Will reaches Buck, he finds that Buck has been overpowered and is being devoured by walkers. Will is about to shoot off the walkers when he himself is surrounded. He attempts to fight his way through the walkers, but is ultimately disemboweled. Jess Collins arrives after he hears the screams. Jess is stunned, and is bitten on the arm by a walker. He kills the walker and Daryl shows up at the scene. Will asks for their help, but knowing that there is no way to save his father, Daryl attempts to put his father out of his misery. He is unable, being overtaken with emotion. Jess then takes over and puts him out of his misery.
