 * For the Novel series character, see Vernon (Novel).

"I had a daughter too. Lost her in the first days. I'll be damned if I just sit back and let this happen to someone else."

- Vernon to Lee.

Vernon is an original character who appears in Episode 4 of The Walking Dead Video Game, "Around Every Corner", along with Brie, Clive, Boyd and Joyce.

Pre-Apocalypse
Hardly anything is known about Vernon's life prior to the apocalypse, besides the fact that he was a doctor, and knew Brie and the other survivors for a few years prior to the apocalypse. He had a daughter, but she died within the first week of the outbreak.

"Episode 4: Around Every Corner"
Vernon is a survivor hiding out in the sewers of Savannah. He fled Crawford, with the other cancer survivors, and took refuge in a morgue. He helped Lee return to the house in Savannah after he was separated from Kenny, Clementine, and Molly. Afterwards he helped Christa look for medicine, while the others went looking for fuel and a battery. He and Christa were trapped in the Nurse's Station, until Lee rescued them. He watched the two tapes about Anna Correa and found the combination to the medicine safe. Right before the group leaves Crawford, he asks Lee if his group had originally traveled by train in order to get to Savannah; seemingly without any prior knowledge from the rest of the group. Vernon makes this observation as he and Lee's group escape from the bell tower - it is possible that he saw the train from this vantage point. Later he had an argument with Lee about Clementine's safety. He has disappeared along with the rest of his group from the Morgue.

 * Although Vernon and his group's fate is unknown, it's possible that Vernon and his group went to the train at the railroad near Savannah due to Vernon asking at the school if Kenny and Lee's group arrived to Savannah by train, although, it is much more likely that he had spotted the herd seen at the end of Episode 3 approaching Savannah.
