This article is for 's husband, for Clementine's father, see Ed (Video Game). "To hell with all you people."

- Ed talking about the other survivors.

Ed Peletier, was one of the Atlanta survivors with his wife, Carol, and his daughter, Sophia who lived at the camp. Ed was killed in a tent when zombies invaded their camp on the episode "Vatos".

Pre-Apocalypse
Because he never went to college (as revealed through remarks at Andrea), it can be assumed that he worked a low brow job. He charmed Carol enough to convince her to date and eventually marry him. They had a daughter together who they named Sophia. He never did much for her, often relying on Carol to.

He dominated Carol throughout their marriage, from preventing her from buying nice clothes and such to constantly assaulting her in order to solidify his authority.

He owned a yellow 1979 Jeep Cherokee that he and his family used to get to the camp. This vehicle is later abandoned in the town near the Greene Farm.

Chupacabra
When the undead outbreak occurs, Ed meets Shane and Lori as evacuations are being made for survivors to head towards Atlanta. He gets angry when Carol offers their supplies to others and tells her not to share with anyone. With the city being destroyed by the military, he along with his family decided to stay with Shane and Lori.

Tell It to the Frogs
When Glenn returns to the group alone, he brought a noisy car with him, and Ed watches as Shane, Dale, and Jim shut the noise up. One night in the survivors' camp after Rick and the other survivor make it back from Atlanta, Ed starts a fire in attempt to get some warmth due to the cold nights outside. Shane asks Ed to dim it down to embers, and Carol does so in attempt to keep things calm between the two men.

Later, as Carol, Andrea, Amy, and Jacqui are doing laundry at the quarry, they are joking and chatting, which draws the attention of Ed. He comes over to the women and begins harassing them, saying they should cut the chatter and quietly do the laundry. Andrea and Jacqui reply that he needs to back off, to which Ed responds with some hostility. His wife intervenes to prevent him from becoming violent, but he smacks her across the face. Shane grabs Ed and begins to savagely beat him, warning him that if he ever hits another woman (or his daughter), Shane will not stop. Shane lets go of Ed and walks away as a sobbing Carol tends to her injured husband.

Vatos
Ed is recovering in his tent from his injuries sustained from Shane's beating. Sophia is in the tent with him when Carol calls her out to have dinner with everyone. Ed tells her to stay but Carol, standing her ground, says Sophia is leaving. Carol invites him to join but he declines. Later, while he is napping, he is awoken by rustling outside his tent. Annoyed, he opens the tent only to be attacked and killed by walkers.

Wildfire
Ed's body was laid out with the dead campers. Just as Daryl Dixon was going to impale his head with an axe to prevent reanimation as a zombie, Carol stops him, saying she'll do it since he was her husband. She hits Ed's bloody and mangled body several times before breaking down. He is then buried on the hillside with Amy and the other bodies.

Killed By
After Shane's brutal beating, Ed sits inside the tent not wanting to see anyone. When the Walkers approached the survivors' camp at night and one walker managed to get inside Ed's tent and eat him before he can cry for help. He dies instantly and is completely devoured by the walkers. Ensuring that Ed doesn't re-animate as walker, the survivors lay him on the ground and Daryl is about to destroy the brain with a pick-axe until Carol (his wife) comes over and does it for him.

Trivia

 * Ed may have possibly served in the military, due to the large quantity of MREs he kept in the Jeep Cherokee in Season 2, Episode 5 and the type of language ("operational security") he used.
 * In the comic series Ed was dead prior to Carol and Sophia's arrival at camp. In Issue 5, Carol stated that her husband was a car salesman and alluded that he had committed suicide after watching his parents die.
 * Ed was mentioned once again in the comics when Carol confided in Lori that he was abusive toward her (like in the show), but it was unclear if that actually happened or if Carol was just making it up due to her deteriorating mental state at the time.
 * Ed's last name was revealed in Episode 4, Vatos, through dialogue by Jim, as well as on the AMC website.
 * Ed made an appearance in Season 2 Episode 5, Chupacabra, during a flashback to before he, Carol, and Sophia made it to the camp with Lori, Carl And Shane.
 * In the episode, "Vatos", it is implied that Ed may have a history of sexual abuse towards Sophia. This is never explored however, as the character's death follows almost immediately.
