Arnold Greene (Comic Series)

"NO! NOT MY FATHER! NOT MY FATHER!"

- Arnold Greene, moments before his death.

Arnold Greene is a character first encountered in Issue 10 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead and is Hershel Greene's second eldest son and the brother of Maggie, Billy, Shawn, Lacey, and the twin girls, Rachel and Susie.

Greene Family Farm
Almost nothing is known about Arnold's life before or as the outbreak began, other than that he moved to the family farm after the death of his mother. He didn't speak much before his death, and seemed to have a rather cool demeanor. Hershel described him as, "having a chip on his shoulder", however, Arnold was loyal and reliable to his father and siblings.

Miles Behind Us
Arnold remained on the farm as the outbreak began. Soon after the outbreak, a group led by Rick Grimes arrived and Hershel allowed them to stay until the leader's son, Carl, was healed. Following the group's target practice session, and the capture of a roamer, Arnold and Lacey climbed from the back of the barn into the hayloft to distract the occupied barn "inhabitants". Following the accidental release of the zombies, Lacey became frightened as Arnold leaped to save their father. Before Hershel could be grabbed, Arnold rammed the roamer with his shoulder, knocking it to the ground. He jumped on top of it, beating it with his fists in retaliating of his father's near-death. As he was doing so, his reanimated brother approached from behind and ripped open his neck with his teeth.

Killed By

 * Shawn Greene (Zombified)

When the zombie-capturing demonstration went wrong, Arnold rushed to the barn to rescue Hershel before he was attacked and bitten by his older brother, Shawn, who was one of the zombies-occupants of the barn.


 * Hershel Greene (Before Reanimation)

He was then shot by his distraught father in order to prevent reanimation. Following his death, he was buried on a patch of land on the farm, and a funeral was held for all three Greene children lost in the accidental release.
