Lee Everett (Video Game)

"That little girl's in my care! We've been through more together than you can imagine! Anyone who tries to get between me and her, anyone, is gonna wind up dead! You hear me?! DEAD!"

- Lee to Vernon.

Lee Everett is an original character and the main protagonist for Season One in The Walking Dead Video Game. He had a mother, father, and a brother named B. Everett, who lived back in Lee's hometown looking after the family business.

Character
Lee's personality is entirely up to the players to decide. He can either assume a hopeful and slightly idealistic persona, often giving people the benefit of the doubt and questioning the need to perform morally questionable actions, or be a quite pragmatic man, who displays signs of aggression or violence if needed under tensed situations.

Not much is known about Lee prior to the apocalypse, what is known is that he was a professor who taught history at the University of Georgia, convicted for murdering a senator who had an affair with his wife, and was about to serve a life sentence behind bars. Later on, it is known that Lee has lost his entire family to the apocalypse, making him the only surviving Everett thus far. Based on the options given during interaction and Lee's response to certain events, it can be said that he is perhaps a nice and likable person in essence. This is reinforced by Doug/Carley's statement that "everyone looks up to him" and voices their interest in having him as the leader.

The most obvious trait that Lee has been displaying throughout the entire series so far is the ability to be caring and loving. This is primarily portrayed in his relationship with Clementine, a girl that he encounters during the apocalypse. At first sight, it is obvious that Lee immediately takes a liking to the girl and cares about her as a parent would towards their child. This is strengthened by the fact Lee states that most of his actions are made for the sake of ensuring Clementine is protected and if possible, guaranteed a better life in the zombie apocalypse before him.

During his conversation with Carley about his past with the senator, it is implied that, the man had no intention of murdering his wife's lover, as he claimed that the entire incident was purely accidental. In fact, when questioned about his past, a tone of remorse is sensed within his words. On the other hand, if Lee chooses to be honest about Lee's past towards Clementine, Lee will tell her that he considered his victim a "bad" man.

Unlike Lilly or Larry, Lee seems to be more merciful and is much more selfless. In fact, whenever a character is pitted in a suicide or hopeless scenario, he tries his very best to dissuade them not to commit suicide and help them out. This is primarily seen in Irene's situation, which greatly upsets him, Glenn, and Carley, when she decided to commit suicide. Another situation would be senselessly diving on to Andy St. John, in order to protect Duck.

Despite the options offered to Lee when discussing about Larry, at heart, Lee bears no ill feelings towards Larry, and even more so not on his daughter. This is demonstrated by the fact that he willingly helped Lilly to locate the keys to the pharmacy counter in order to search for his medications. Later on, when Kenny murders Larry, Lee reprimands him for doing so, although it is hinted that his feelings towards Larry, are mixed at best; as he mentioned he "couldn't do it" at the spur of the moment yet felt that the man didn't deserve to go that way, sometimes even offering to take Lilly's side when Kenny brings it up.

Lee is however not a pushover by any means, and if need be, he can arise and defend himself or those that need defending by whatever means necessary.

All in all, it is best said that Lee is nice man and he generally avoids trouble and tries to remain neutral whenever possible. He takes good care of Clementine and treats her like his child. But, Lee is an excellent shot with most firearms, and is a very skilled street fighter, as evidenced by his fights with Andrew St. John, Kenny, Molly and numerous walkers.

Macon, Georgia
Lee hails from Macon, Georgia and has a brother who works at the family's pharmacy. Lee was a history professor at the University of Georgia for six years before being convicted of murdering a state senator who had been sleeping with his wife. Right before the breakout, Lee was being transported by local authorities to the West Central Prison in Georgia when the police car suddenly crashes into a walker rendering him injured and unconscious for some period of time.

"Episode 1: A New Day"
Lee Everett is handcuffed sitting in the back of a police car. The officer taking him in the prison in conversing about whenever Lee is innocent or not. The car crashes and Lee blacks out. Lee awakens later and discovers that his leg is wounded. He breaks out of the wrecked cruiser and walks towards the apparently dead policeman. After unlocking his cuffs, the officer reanimates and attacks Lee, who kills it with a shotgun. The noise attracts several walkers to the site and Lee barely escapes them, by jumping over the fence to a nearby house. He decides to look for help inside, finding a pool of blood in the kitchen and an answering machine containing messages that tells of the quickly worsening situation for the couple that lived in the house. He discovers a walkie-talkie in a kitchen drawer and is contacted by Clementine, the young girl who lives in the house. She has been hiding in her tree house while her parents are away in Savannah. Clementine suddenly screams and Lee is attacked by a zombie, Sandra, Clementine's babysitter. Lee is nearly bitten several times but eventually kills the walker with a hammer given to him by Clementine. Lee promises that he'll look after Clementine for awhile.

Depending on what Lee chooses, Lee and Clementine will leave the house immediately or either wait until dark in Clementine's tree house. If they leave during the day, they head outside and they meet Shawn Greene and Chet, Shawn's friend. They are trying to get to Shawn's dad's farm, but the road was blocked by cars, so Shawn offers to take Lee and Clementine with him if Lee helps them clear the road. After clearing the road, they escape walkers and drive to the Greene's farm.

If Lee chooses to wait until night, they walk into the street and meet Shawn Greene and a policeman named Andre. Shawn states that his friend was killed earlier, and offers them a ride to his dad's farm so Lee's leg can be tended to. An undead Chet starts to come towards that characters, so they go into the police car and drive to Hershel's farm.Chet/Andre leave, and Shawn introduces them to his father, Hershel Greene. Hershel asks Clementine if she knows Lee. She says yes and Hershel then takes care of Lee's leg. Hershel then questions Lee about his whereabouts and doings before the apocalypse. Lee can choose to make Lee directly lie to Hershel or be as honest as possible, making Lee give Hershel slightly edited version of the truth, only leaving out the most troublesome details. The next day Lee is introduced to Duck, aka Kenny Jr, Kenny and Katjaa, and starts to help around the farm. As Lee is helping Hershel in the barn, Hershel, if he was directly lied to, will confront Lee about it. He will, regardless, also tell Lee that trust and honesty are important when dealing with other people, especially with the trying times ahead.

As they talk someone screams and they leave the barn. Hershel goes and gets his gun while Lee goes to see what's going on. When he gets to where the source of the noise, he sees Shawn underneath a tractor. It seems that Kenny Jr. might have been involved with Shawn being trapped. There are three walkers near the tractor. Two trying to get to Shawn and one trying to get Kenny Jr.

Lee can choose to save Duck (Kenny Jr.) or Shawn, regardless Shawn dies. The only thing the choice does is affect how Hershel acts towards Lee's choice (Save Shawn, and he thanks Lee but blames Kenny, save Duck and he is angry at both) either way an angry Hershel asks Kenny and Lee to leave his farm and never come back, and Kenny gives Lee a lift to Macon

At Macon they run out of gas and run into a group of walkers, but are saved by a group holed up in Lee's family pharmacy. A woman named Carley saves Duck from a walker and they run inside. There is an argument over how risky it was to save them and what to to with Duck as it is suspected he has been bitten. Lee can side with Larry, one of the group, or Kenny. After choosing, Clementine is attacked by a walker who was locked in the bathroom and Lee saves her with help from Carley.

Larry, the father of Lilly starts to have a heart attack and Lilly says they have ran out of pills, so Lee goes looking for the keys to the Pharmacy and learns about what happened to his family, who have died. Lee helps out around the store and Carley reveals she knows who he is and what he did. Lee can decide whether to trust her or not, and decide whether to tell Clementine what he did.

After that Glenn calls on the walkie-talkie and says he is trapped at the Travelier Motel. Carley and Lee go out to get Glenn and learn that there is a woman trapped in a nearby room, they need to save her by taking out a group of walkers one by one. After saving her, they discover she is bitten and Lee must choose to give her the gun or not so she can commit suicide, though regardless she will get the gun and kill herself.

After the motel incident they return to the Pharmacy and Lee and Doug go out to the gate to look around and find Lee's brother trapped under a pole as a walker. Lee says he might have the keys and shows Doug a picture of him and Lee's parents that was recovered from the office, but no one knows the combo for the lock. Lee then uses a remote, which he took from the office, on the TV's around the street and an axe, which was found at the motel, to break the lock. Lee uses a brick to shatter the window so the TV's are better heard and distract the walkers while he euthanizes his brother.

With the keys, Lee and Lilly enter the medical section of the store but trip an alarm, attracting the attention of all the walkers in the area. Now they must hold out until Kenny retrieves his truck and can get them out. After locking the entrance doors, Lee is then given a choice to save Carley or Doug. After the other dies, Lee must then turn his attention to saving Clementine from a walker. On their way out, Lee is blocked by Larry. Larry assaults Lee by knocking him to the floor, with a horde of zombies closing in on him. Just before Lee is attacked by a zombie, Kenny comes to the rescue.

The survivors relocate to the motel where they intend to set up a base. Glenn tells Lee that he has to leave to find his friends in Atlanta with or without his and the group's blessing, and Larry reveals that he also knows about Lee's past, and will not hesitate to use it against him if ever steps out of line. Just when things seem calm and for the most part peaceful, the street lights begin shutting off and all the power goes off.

"Episode 2: Starved For Help"
After three months since the apocalypse began, Lee is seen hunting in the forest with Mark, a new member of the group. They talk about Kenny and Lilly and the arguments they have as Lily is rationing food and Kenny is trying to feed his family. They are then interrupted when they hear screaming and find three survivors: Ben Paul, his friend Travis, and their teacher, David Parker. David's leg is caught in a bear trap and Lee must choose whether to leave David behind or save him. Regardless either David or Travis will die. If David is left to die Travis is accidentally shot trying to go for one of the rifles, but if David is freed (by cutting off his leg) Travis is distracted before the walkers attack him and they eat him alive.

After taking Travis/David back to the motor inn with Kenny and Mark, Lilly will yell at them for bringing back more mouths to feed. She decides that Lee should take charge by giving him the group's rations. Depending on who is handed food, Lee can either improve or mend his relations with other members of the group. After dividing the third ration he has too decide if he will eat or if he will give someone else the last ration. Afterwards, Lee is informed by Katjaa that the wounded (David or Travis) has died. Only to find that they have now reanimated as a zombie and try to attack Katjaa. Either Carley, Larry or Mark will save Lee after he saves Katjaa from the zombie.

They confront Ben (now the only surviving member of his group) and ask him why they didn't tell them his friend was bitten. Ben swears that the recently deceased was not bitten, and he explains to them that everyone is infected anyhow and when they die they will come back unless the brain is destroyed. Carley or Doug (depending on who Lee saved in the last episode) can be heard shouting at some survivors outside the Motel. They introduce themselves as Andrew and Danny St. John. They offer a deal; they need gas for their generator and Lee's group needs food. Lee, Carley or Doug, Mark and Ben go with them. During this time they witness two bandits arguing in the woods. The heated argument ends when one shoots the other in the head repeatedly killing him instantly.

After moving on they arrive at the St. John Family Dairy that Mark instantly takes liking to. Lee is slightly suspicious and tells Mark too keep an eye open. After being introduced to Brenda St. John they offer to help clear up the electric fence of 'fried' walkers. Andy St. John has turned off the electrical fence at this time Mark and Lee are removing the walkers who have "fried". After fixing one of the posts, the electricity comes back on, and Lee is enraged by Andrew's carelessness; but they are suddenly attacked by Bandits. Mark is shot in the shoulder with an arrow and they both make their way back to the gate via hiding behind a tractor. The bandits withdraw after they reach the gate. At this point Carley/Doug have informed the others, about the barn and have now arrived at the farm. They are shocked to see Mark has been shot and is immediately taken in by Brenda and Katjaa. Lee learns that Ben and Carley/Doug have chosen to stay at the Motor Inn until they come back.

At this time Danny St. John asks Lee if he would like to go to the Bandit's camp to get some payback. Lee can decide to go after checking up on everyone. When he arrives at the Bandit camp he discovers a Camcorder and then Clementine's hat which she had recently lost. Jolene, a lone crazy woman, shows up threatening them with a crossbow, Lee can choose to kill her immediately, or try to reason with her. If he chooses not to kill her she will tell him that she had a little girl whom the bandits abused (probably raped) and perhaps killed. She begins to tell Danny she knows what he is and knows what he does to those "people". Danny quickly shoots her in the forehead, instantly killing her. Regardless of Lee's actions, she will die no matter what.

After returning, Kenny seems somewhat suspicious about the Dairy. Lilly is still angry about the idea of leaving the Motor Inn and wants to go back but Larry advises her not to, saying that they should stay for dinner at least. Lee goes into the barn where he finds Duck and Clem. Kenny is there with Katjaa and Andy. They find a locked door and Kenny begins to get increasingly suspicious. As a method to distract Andy to peek inside Lee tampers with one of the generators, thus luring Andy away. After removing the lock on the barn door Lee is told that dinner is ready. Kenny and Clem leave with Duck and Katjaa but Lee stays behind and continues to investigate. Upon opening the door he discovers what a slaughter room with bloodstains. Andy appears suddenly and explains that they still hunt for animals too keep themselves fed but Mama (Brenda) hates a mess so they do it in the barn. Lee is disturbed but goes along with his story.

Lee later joins them at dinner. He requests to go to the bathroom to investigate, still suspicious. Upon discovering a hidden room, he finds a legless Mark. Mark is barely conscious as warns him about the brothers, telling him not to eat dinner revealing that they are cannibals. Lee then has to rush downstairs and warm Clementine not to eat the dinner- however Lee has to get him there and shout on time. Lee tells everyone about the food, and the St. John brothers retaliate threatening them at gunpoint. Brenda reveals that they were taught never to waste food, as their reasoning for eating humans, and said that Mark was going to die anyway. Mark is heard falling down the stairs where he is seen crawling around calling for help. Filling the group with horror, Danny uses the distraction and knocks Lee unconscious.

He next wakes up in a meat locker with Larry, Clementine, Kenny, and Lilly. Kenny reveals that they have Katjaa and Duck, and then Larry unexpectedly has a heart attack (due to his medical condition). He stops breathing and Kenny assumes that he is dead and wants to destroy his brain, but Lily insists that he isn't and they need to resuscitate him. Lee must choose to side with Kenny or Lilly. Regardless who he chooses Larry dies. Larry is either killed by Lee and Kenny, or just Kenny who crushes his head with a salt block (or lick, as said in the game). Regarding on Lee's choice either Kenny, Lilly or both will be extremely upset with Lee. Clem is able to crawl out of the meat locker via air vents and unlocks the door, and Kenny goes to find his family while Lilly is mourning Larry. Lee tells Clem to watch over Lilly and leaves to find Kenny.

Both are then confronted by Danny St. John who is unexpectedly taken out by Lilly or Kenny. Lee may then kill or spare Danny's life, and this decision is noted by Clementine. After Lee goes to find Kenny and the others, he meets Carley/Doug with Ben. Lee explains the situation and tells them to go round the back, as using the gate would be too dangerous. Lee returns to the St. John's house where he finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage, and carefully walks forward, trying to negotiate while driving her towards an undead Mark at the top of the stairs.

While outside Kenny is confronting Andy who is holding Duck hostage. Kenny is shot and Lee attacks and fights Andy, and he eventually gets the upper hand, and Lee can either choose to savagely kill Andy or leave him for the walkers who are now overtaking the dairy.

After, Lee discovers a car which is seemingly abandoned. The group consider emptying it, but Clementine objects. Lee can either choose to have Lee take Clementine's side, in which case Kenny and Katjaa loot the car, or he can loot the car himself, and hand out the food items to the others. If the latter is chosen then he finds a hoodie which he gives to Clementine, and he can persuade her taking the stuff is okay or not. No matter what, Carley/Doug comes to him and explain that they found batteries for the camcorder he found earlier at the Bandit camp. They turn it on and discover Jolene watching them at the motor inn. It is revealed that she knew the several of the Bandits by name, calling them "rapists monsters", and that she took a liking to Clementine, seeing her as a replacement for her daughter.

"Episode 3: Long Road Ahead"
Some time after the last episode Lee and Kenny go back to the pharmacy to find more medicine. They see an unknown girl running out from one of the buildings. She is quickly surrounded by walkers and bitten. Kenny suggests that the girl should be left to walkers so they can go to pharmacy unnoticed. Lee either shoots the girl with his rifle attracting the walkers with the shot or leaves the girl to be able to slip unnoticed in the store with Kenny. Inside the store Lee picked up as many supplies he could before the walkers stormed in. Then he runs for another exit only to be attacked by a walker who broke the door. If his relationship with Kenny is good Lee will get help from him. If not he will have to fight with the walker on his own. After a narrow escape they return to the motor lodge where you learn that bandits have been trying to attack the lodge. Ben is on watch duty, Lilly is still upset about her dad, Kenny and his family are hanging in, Carley/Doug is hanging around, at some point Carley reveals that she has had some "thoughts" about Lee, if Lee answers back she gives him a kiss on the cheek, while Clementine is keeping herself busy. An argument soon breaks out and Lilly reveals to Lee that some one in the group is stealing medicine from their supplies. Lee investigates and finds a bag of medicine outside the protective walls hidden in a grate.

The bandits soon attack and it is revealed that someone has been trading medicine for protection. Lee helps fight off the bandits and helps everyone to escape in the RV, but not before Duck and Katjaa are attacked by walkers that appear. While escaping in the RV Lilly starts to believe that Ben and Carley/Doug are the ones who stole the medicine. The RV is forced to pull over when a walker gets stuck under it. While on the side of the road, Kenny tries to get the walker loose, Lilly argues with Carley/Doug, Ben claims to be innocent, and Lee tries to keep the peace. In a fit of anger Lilly shoots and kills Carley or Doug. Lee subdues Lilly and takes her gun. Everyone gets back in the RV except for Lilly who is left behind. (or she gets back in the RV (If you tell her to) being held for them to find out what they will do to her later)

While traveling down the road Katjaa reveals that the walker that attacked her and managed to bite Duck. They agree to keep going in the hopes that they can find a cure. The group soon has to stop the RV again, but this time due to a partially wrecked train blocking the road.

Kenny asks everyone to get out of the RV (Except Lilly, if you brought her with you.) Lee goes into the RV to find stuff and after he finds a pencil it shows she is up and taking the RV and asking you if you want to come with her. If Lee tries to stop her she throws Lee out of the RV and takes off. However if Lee agrees to come with her Lily will say that he should go get Clementine. When Lee steps out of the RV she will drive off. (Kenny later reveals that the radiator is broken and Lilly will only manage to do about 30 miles in the RV)

While searching in one of the train's freight containers Lee meets Charles (Chuck), a homeless man living in the train's box car who startles Lee with his sudden appearance. He asks Lee if he has taken any of his belongings, nevertheless, whether you decide to be truthful to him or dishonest, Chuck joins the group.

Once the train gets moving it is apparent that Duck will not last the journey. After Lee helps Katjaa take care of him he will either talk with or fight Kenny to stop the train. Both Katjaa and Kenny want to be ones to relieve Duck of his pain. No matter what decision Lee makes in the matter, Katjaa will be the one to take Duck in the woods. After a shot is heard Kenny and Lee travel into the woods to discover that Katjaa has committed suicide, unable to shoot her son. Lee or Kenny is forced to finish the job before Duck turns.

They continue on the track. After a while they stop because there is a truck hanging off the edge of a bridge and blocking the path. During an argument between Kenny and Chuck, two more survivors appear on the bridge, Christa and Omid. They turn out to be helpful and decide to assist them in removing the truck from their path. Clementine and Lee decide to check a warehouse beside the road where they find a blowtorch and they cut the truck in half and allow the train to move forward. While running from what appears to be hundreds of walkers Lee chooses to help either Christa or Omid onto the train but either way both survive.

"Episode 4: Around Every Corner"
Lee and the other members of his group are walking down the streets of Savannah, when the bell in the bell tower rings. The ringing attracts walkers towards the group. Lee spots Clementine and Ben pinned up against a wall. Lee tells Ben to help Clementine, but he runs away instead. Lee then shoots a few zombies, until the rest is handled by Chuck, which is the last time he is seen alive. The survivors arrive at a house and Lee finds Kenny in the attic. Lee sees Kenny looking on in fascination at the zombie. It is the zombie of a child, which starved to death while hiding in an attic. Kenny says that it looks like Duck. Lee has the option for him to kill the zombie or for him to. There is a possibility for him to step on its head, which requires very little force from Lee.

Lee encounters Molly and fights her for a short moment. The fight can end with Molly about to kill Lee, or Lee about to shoot Molly depending on if Lee is good at the QTE. Clementine then appears and convinces the winner of the fight to not kill the loser. Molly leaves, but Clementine insists that they help her.

Lee ventures into the sewers, where he finds Chuck's corpse and finds Brie, Vernon, Clive, Boyd and Joyce. Vernon points his gun at him, but Lee is able to talk him out of shooting him, much to the dismay of Brie, thinking that he is from Crawford and that they will be attacked by his group when they find out their location.

Lee arrives at the Crawford House, with or without Clementine (determinant). Lee then goes looking for batteries with Molly before she wanders off. Then, suddenly, a walker that is wearing a doctor's robe, falls from the building. Molly begins to impale the walker out of pure anger.

Lee then gets some tapes and analyzes them with Christa and Vernon, this reveals the true meaning of the "worst place" as described by Molly.

Zombies attack and Lee heads back to the classroom. Ben tells Kenny that he is responsible for Kat and Duck's deaths, Lee and Vernon restrain Kenny from killing Ben. They then take a vote on whether or not they should leave Ben behind. Lee can choose his opinion. If Clementine tagged along, Lee can change his opinion on the second time around.

Lee is then running up the bell tower where he must fight off several walkers, throwing some off the stairs and shooting others. Ben is then attacked by a walker. Which Lee can or cannot shoot. Lee then has the choice to let him fall to his death or to take them with him. Clementine will be upset with the decision if he chooses to let him die.

Lee arrives back at the house they originally stayed at, to find that Omid has fully recovered from his leg injury.

Clementine will ask Lee if they will look for her parents before they depart via boat. Lee can lie to her and say that they will, or be honest and say that it will likely not happen.

Lee wakes up the next day to discover that Clementine is no longer in the house. He walks outside when he finds Clem's discarded hat. Lee walks out of the gate and finds Clementine's walkie-talkie. Lee picks it up but is attacked by walker, which he kills. Lee then sees that he was bitten by the walker. Omid, Christa, Kenny and Ben (determinant) come looking for Lee, telling him that Clem is no where to be found. Lee can then reveal that he was bitten or he can keep it a secret. Afterwards he either asks his companions for help finding Clementine or tells them to wait at the boat while he looks for her.

Lee gets a mysterious transmission from a man over the walkie-talkie, who reveals that he isn't Vernon. The man also informs Lee he has Clementine and tells Lee to choose his next words more carefully, to which Lee starts to respond, but is at a loss for words in shock.

Clementine
Lee's affection towards Clementine was readily obvious the moment he met her. While their relationship starts off as nothing more but a helpful stranger and a little girl, the bond strengthens over the course of the episodes. As Clementine is the closest thing to Lee in the apocalypse, both of them came to form a symbiotic relationship, Lee seeing Clementine as a daughter of his own while Clementine considering Lee as her guardian, and later on as a father. However, the relationship eventually takes a toll for the worse when it was revealed that Clementine had been secretly communicating with the stranger on her walkie-talkie. The act of hers had greatly strained the relationship between the two. Although Lee still cares about her, Clementine starts to show slight distrust towards him, sometimes by taking matters in to her own hands. How the relationship between the two will turn out in Episode 5 remains to be seen.

Kenny
Lee and Kenny became companions after enduring the walker attack on Hershel's farm, in which Lee can choose to assist in saving Duck, or attempt to save Shawn. When they were kicked off the Greene Family Farm, they started traveling together. Lee became Kenny's closest friend. Lee and Kenny went through some dramatic events and were always helping each other. After the St. John's Dairy Farm incident, they would argue about if killing Larry was the right thing and the topic would come up at the worst times. After Duck was bitten, Lee and Kenny started to argue about the right thing to do with Duck, and eventually came to the decision of stopping the train. Lee's relationship with Kenny is put to the test in "Around Every Corner", as Kenny is still struggling with the loss of Duck and Katjaa. Lee may choose or choose not to help Kenny through these trying times. Kenny decides whether or not to help Lee in the effort to save Clementine.

Lilly Caul
Like Kenny, these two don't always see eye to eye on things. After killing Carley/Doug, Lilly tells Lee she wants to leave with him with the RV. Sometimes Lilly and Lee get along and talk about some issues, but then the discussions go bad when Lee has to choose Kenny or Lilly's side.

Carley
Lee and Carley started a slightly loving relationship, and both had a crush on each other. After her death, Lee starts to use her gun as a memento (if saved in Episode 1). If you save her in Episode 1, she will thank him and place her trust in him for that. Also in Episode 3, she kisses him on the cheek, showing that she had feelings for Lee. They would have likely started a relationship if Lilly did not kill Carley.

Doug
If Doug was saved in Episode 1, The two seemed to build a quick friendship, with Lee thinking Doug's resourcefulness and technical abilities are a valuable asset. In return, Doug seemed to be loyal to Lee, sacrificing any rations given to him so that Lee would not go hungry and starve. In Episode 3, Lee seemed concerned about Lilly's mental health, to the point of bringing it up with Doug.

Larry Caul
Lee and Larry weren't friends at all and Larry showed extreme distrust towards Lee. At one point, Larry punched Lee in the face and left him for dead, although Kenny came and helped him. Even though Larry seemed to hate Lee, based on the options in conversations that involve Larry which are available, it shows that Lee showed no real hatred towards the older man. Lee still thought Kenny killing Larry was a bad thing to do.

Mark
Lee and Mark have a good friendship. Mark trusts and supports Lee. Lee seems to worry about Mark when he was not present at the dinner made ​​by the St. Johns.

Ben Paul
Lee has his doubts about Ben but accepts him as a part of the group. However, this relationship becomes very strained in Around Every Corner, to the point where Lee can kill Ben, due to his cowardice. If Lee chooses to save Ben, the relationship can become salvageable; however, there is a chance it won't. Also, Lee gets the option to verbally threaten Ben in a horrifying manner on the train on Long Road Ahead, when Ben reveals his secret about the bandits. Based on experiences from Episode 2 onward, Ben can decide whether or not to join Lee to save Clementine, after Lee is bitten.

Chuck
Initially, Lee doesn't trust Charles, but Lee quickly grows to respect Charles after he gives Lee advice on how to make Clementine better at protecting of herself and after he gave Lee tips on how to keep her safe. When Lee found Charles dead, he stated that Charles deserved better.

Christa
Similar to how Lilly was when Lee first met her, Christa seems to be suspicious and doubtful of the group's motive to travel to Savannah, but tags along with the group due to Omid's persistence. For the better part of Episode 3, they both seemed have a dislike for each other as a result of Christa bossiness in Lee's ways of caring for Clementine, but nonetheless still occasionally cares for Lee out of respect. By Episode 4, the pair seemed to have gotten used to each other, if not liked each other better since Lee volunteered to look for medicines in order to treat Omid's leg injury. If Lee decides to tell the group about the bite on his hand, Christa and Omid are the first who willingly volunteered to go along with Lee to search for a missing Clementine, with Christa stating that it is all of their responsibilities, showing that she has come to trust and like Lee and Clementine.

Omid
Omid's optimistic personality and interest in history allowed the both of them to become quick friends. Not much of their relationship has been explored or revealed, as Omid spent the better part of his time resting in Episode 4 due to an injured leg, but it is assumed that the both get along well enough.

Molly
Lee and Molly's relationship starts off from a rocky edge as the two tend to see matters in different lights. While Lee tries to maintain calm and peace within his group when anything happens, Molly instead chooses to rub salt on to the group's wound by pointing out the obvious, a trait in which Lee considers to have much more to be desired. However, her courage, quick-thoughts and proficiency in combat eventually earns Lee's respect towards her. It is also due the participation of Molly in Crawford's raiding that the group has a chance of escaping Savannah. Unfortunately, nearing the end of Episode 4, Molly chooses to leave the group, feeling that she's better off as a lone ranger, despite his persistence in having her to join the group. Before parting to their separate ways, Lee and Molly gave each other a hug and both bid each other farewell and good luck in their respective endeavors, showing that they had come to form a respectable relationship and liked each other as comrades in arms.

Non-Canon Deaths
If Lee fails to complete a certain objective, it is possible for them to be killed. These deaths are non-canon and will result in a game over. Lee will then re-spawn and be allowed to try again. The following is a list of times Lee can die.

Trivia

 * In a Q&amp;A with Jake Rodkin and Harrison G. Pink, Lead Designer and Episode 3 Designer, it was stated that the prison Lee was being transported to in the beginning of the game is in fact the same prison that the survivors stay at in the comic, West Central Prison.
 * Lee was in the beginning of the apocalypse, this is supported by:
 * In Episode 1, when Lee was escorted to the prison by the police officer, on the opposite side of the highway there was a police car, then a police convoy, and lastly a helicopter along with another convoy, all heading to the city of Atlanta.
 * When Lee enters Clementine's Neighborhood, when a scene zooms out and you can from a distance that some of the Atlanta buildings are in burning smoke, this indicates that the apocalypse has just begun.
 * Furthermore, when Lee was in the car crash and unconscious for a period of time, although its unknown how long was Lee out cold but according to Clementine, after Lee killed Sandra, she said Sandra screamed two nights ago (attacked by a walker most likely), this is evident, given the time being when the outbreak began that Lee was out for two days. Given the right time frame, Lee is at Day 3 or Day 4 after the apocalypse began, before then.
 * Some of the survivors that Lee encounters are from the comic book series such as Glenn, Hershel Greene, Shawn Greene, and Lilly.
 * So far, Lee is the only character to have the most change of clothing. (However, he can be tied with Clementine, if they stole from the station wagon at the end of Starved For Help and Carley, if the player saved her in A New Day)
 * In Episode 1, he is wearing a long sleeve, blue button-up shirt, with the sleeves rolled up. Underneath is a white undershirt, and a pair of green pants.
 * In Episode 2, he is wearing a black jacket. Underneath; a red button-up shirt and then a white undershirt, identical to the one in episode 1, along with a pair of blue jeans.
 * In Episode 3, 4, and 5, the clothes Lee is wearing are similar to the clothing he was wearing in episode 1, however, the the blue shirt is "paler", the sleeves from the white undershirt are showing, and his pants are yellow.
 * Lee is the only known person left alive in the Everett Family.
 * In Episode Two, he confided in Clementine that he had once thought of having children, an idea she suggested he not give up on.
 * In Episode 2, "Starved for Help", Lee has to decide who to give food to. 11% of players choose to feed Lee, the second least out of any character, only before Doug (Determinant).
 * Lee is one of three characters that are confirmed to appear in all 5 episodes of Season 1, the others being Clementine and Kenny.
 * In Episode 3, It is revealed that Lee harbored feelings for Carley over the few episodes they knew each other.
 * Lee has several similarities with Rick Grimes. Both are natural leaders and often are looked upon when the group has internal or external problems. Both are also have been known to risk their lives on a regular basis in order to save members of the group and loved ones, specifically Clementine and Carl Grimes, respectively.
 * Due to Lee receiving a bite and not treating it immediately afterwards, it is highly likely that Lee will die in the final episode of Season 1 in the game; however, Robert Kirkman has stated that a bite kills due to blood loss or infection, not the virus itself. Adding to the fact that the bite appears very minor, this means treatment or amputation would be possible. One of Episode 5's achievements displays what appears to be a chopped hand or arm, further adding to the possibility of a decision for Lee to save himself by amputating the infected appendage, much like Rick does to Hershel in the television series.
 * One of Lee's lines in Episode 4, "What did you call me?", makes a reference to "Back to the Future", which Telltale Games made a game based off. This happens when Molly calls him a chicken while coming back from the auto shop area.
 * Lee enjoys alcohol, as he comments on filling Clementine's tea-set with bourbon, (optionally) drinks whiskey with Chuck, and states he would like to enjoy the liquor in the abandoned house after he is done checking it.
 * As stated in Episode 3, Lee shows a particular interest in the American Civil War.
 * Depending on player's actions, Lee has killed the most people in the game (over 17 plus many unnamed Save-Lot Bandits) due to mercy killing, defending himself and Clementine and killing zombified people.


 * Lee is one of the many amputees in the Walking Dead (determinant).
 * Lee managed to have his arm cut off by Christa.
