Abraham Ford (TV Series)

"You see, I know this group and I know Rick and whatever happened back there is being managed and kicked right up into its own ass one way or another... I know that. We got beer and... air conditioning... and walls, the table is set for the rest of our lives and I hope those years to be long and fruitful. I see that time before me and I've been feeling the urge to make some plays, for the great cosmic Pete comes to cut my throat unceremoniously and I gurgle my last breath. But things are gonna go on for a while before that, that hadn't occurred to me before."

- Abraham to Sasha Williams

Abraham Ford is a main character and survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. In the early days of the outbreak, he survived in a grocery store in Houston, Texas, with his wife Ellen, son A.J., and daughter Becca and several other men. After he killed the men in retaliation for some indiscretion against his family and his family died after an attempt to abandon him out of fear, he crossed paths with Eugene Porter, a supposed scientist who claimed to know the cure for the outbreak but needed to go to Washington, D.C.. He, Eugene, and Rosita Espinosa are passing through Georgia when they meet and join forces with the group led by Rick Grimes, with whom they form a fierce loyalty, and Eugene reveals himself not to be a scientist and not to know the cure, to Abraham's fury. After a laborious and debilitating journey continuing north to Washington in hope of refuge, the group arrives at the Alexandria Safe-Zone in Virginia, where Abraham seems to have gained a new perspective on life.

Personality
Abraham is single-minded, proud, brave, wise, short-tempered and also has a brutal side. He is the living juxtaposition between rage and wisdom. Despite his violent tendencies, Abraham is wise and pragmatic, providing insightful advise and council to his friends. His tragic post-apocalyptic experiences had rendered him a depressed, hopeless shell of his former self, and is only able to push forward if given a clear mission.

Despite his rough, brash nature, Abraham greatly enjoys having fun, which he can find in killing walkers or admittedly, fighting other people. As noted by Tara Chambler, he smiles while killing the undead. His fun-loving side can also be seen in his evident sense of humor and peculiar choices of profanity, his most prominent personality quirk. He also loves alcohol and does not like to socialize.

Pre-Apocalypse
Houston, Texas

Not much is known about Abraham's early life other than that he presumably resided somewhere near Houston, Texas. Abraham served in the U.S Military (presumably joined at a young age) where through his military career he eventually gained the rank of sergeant. At one point Abraham claimed to have experienced a messy encounter with a camel which resulted in the animal exploding.

Outside of his miltiary career, Abraham grew to be a family man having had a wife Ellen and two children named A.J and Becca where they presumably lived together as a typical family. During this time Abraham also attended eight country fairs as well as one goat rodeo. it can hinted that due to Abraham's rough and aggressive demeanour may have strained his relationship with his family but still cared for them nonethless.

Post-Apocalypse
Abraham was at one point surviving with his family and neighbors in Houston. Returning from a supply run, Abraham found that his once trusted comrades had raped his wife in his absence, causing Abraham to retaliate by brutally assaulting the responsible party. However, his family is traumatized by both the events and Abraham's actions and eventually leave. Abraham later finds them all dead. Abraham is about to commit suicide when he finds and rescues Eugene Porter, leading to their joining forces.

After agreeing to help get Eugene to Washington, D.C., Abraham came across another group of survivors who kept a military truck for transport. He met and fell in love with Rosita Espinosa, and she vouched for his and Eugene's case to get to Washington, D.C.. In order to stay safe and relatively fast moving, Abraham took the truck and detoured through Georgia to stay along the coast in their journey north. Eventually, each member of Rosita's group died one by one until she was the sole survivor of her group. They had just passed by Atlanta when Abraham's truck broke down, forcing him to spend a few hours fixing it.

"Inmates"
After a weakened Glenn Rhee collapses from fighting off walkers, Tara Chambler uses the end of her gun to kill the remaining walker. While she does so, Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene pull their truck up to her. After Tara sarcastically thanks them for their help and asks if they enjoyed the show, the trio exit their truck. In response to her comment, Abraham tells her that she's "got a damn mouth", then asks about what else she has.

"Claimed"
Tara sits at the back of Abraham's military truck, writing the street names on her hand as the truck drives past them. They are forced to stop when they come across a car wreckage blocking the road, and three walkers nearby approach. Tara prepares to shoot them with a rifle, but Abraham orders her to stop and proceeds to attack them with a crowbar. Tara notes that it's the first time she's seen someone smile while killing a walker, to which he replies that he is "the luckiest guy in the world".

The group is soon back on the road, and Glenn finally awakens. He angrily bashes on the back window, demanding that they stop the truck. Abraham ignores him and flips him off until the window begins to actually crack. Abraham then angrily stops the truck, and as Glenn tries to leave, Abraham tells him that he is causing disruptions to "the mission." He goes on to reveal that Eugene knows exactly what caused the beginning of the apocalypse, and that government officials are to meet with him in Washington. Glenn tries to leave anyway, and after Abraham tries to force him to stay, Glenn punches him. Abraham angrily retaliates, and a full fight breaks out.

Rosita and Tara unsuccessfully try to intervene, and Eugene is the only one to notice the herd of walkers closing in. The others are too distracted by the fight to notice Eugene calling for them, and it's only after Eugene begins opening fire that the fight stops. After the herd is cleared out, they discover that Eugene's haphazard shooting damaged the truck's gas tank. As Glenn and Tara once again prepare to leave, Rosita chooses to go along with them, stating that with the truck inoperable, there's nothing else for them to do. Eugene then says to Abraham that it would be practical for them to go along as well, stating that it would be safer going back the way they came than venture into the unknown and that they would search for a new vehicle in the mean time.

"Us"
Abraham is seen walking on the train tracks along with Tara, Glenn, Rosita, and Eugene. At night he talks with Tara about Eugene and Rosita, and reveals that he knows Tara is gay, judging by the way she "looked down Rosita's shirt while she served her dinner".

The next day, Abraham and his group follow Glenn after he sees a sign that Maggie left for him.

Later, he asks the group to stop to rest, believing that if they keep going they will be too tired to survive. He also believes that resting for the moment is a better way of keeping Eugene safe. After a walker falls from the tower next to them, Abraham agrees with Glenn to give Eugene the riot gear in order to keep moving, with Eugene being safe.

Continuing to Terminus, they find a dark tunnel filled with walkers. Abraham is not willing to bring Eugene through the tunnel. As a result, Abraham, Rosita and Eugene head back to find a car. Before leaving, Glenn tells Abraham that he was sorry he hit him. In response, Abraham says that he wasn't and that he liked to fight.

Later on, as the three remaining survivors are traveling in an abandoned car, Eugene spots Bob Stookey, Maggie Greene, and Sasha Williams, and the six of them then save Glenn and Tara in the tunnel after they are surrounded by walkers.

The eight survivors reach Terminus the next day, and are greeted by Mary, who offers them something to eat.

"A"
Abraham appears in the train car at Terminus when Rick Grimes, his son Carl, Michonne, and Daryl Dixon enter, having been captured by the inhabitants after their arrival. Abraham remarks that they won't be there for long, which Rick remarks no and says that the Terminus group is stupid. Abraham asks what the Terminus group is going to find out and Rick responds with the final line of the season: "They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out... they're screwing with the wrong people."

"No Sanctuary"
Abraham is trapped in Boxcar A and is first seen making a makeshift weapon out of a piece of wood attached to his glove. After the attempt to escape fails he is left trapped in the boxcar. Later on he tells Eugene to stay close to him when they escape. When Rick releases them from the boxcar, he fights his way out of Terminus, jumping the fence last. After accompanying Rick's group after meeting Carol Peletier and Tyreese Williams, Abraham and Rosita discuss telling Rick about Eugene knowing how to stop the outbreak and their voyage to Washington D.C., but Abraham settles on telling Rick at a later time.

"Strangers"
Abraham is with Rick's group when they encounter Father Gabriel Stokes on top of a rock with walkers surronding him. Abraham assists in killing the walkers and saves Gabriel. Abraham talks to the group to go to Washington D.C to help Eugene meet with goverment officials. "We will make the dead die, and the living will have this world" he remarks. Rick and the rest agree to go to D.C.

"Four Walls and a Roof"
Rick meets with the group to discuss what to do next, his choice being to hunt down Gareth's group. Abraham, however, insists they leave, as it is too dangerous for them to keep Eugene in such a hostile zone. Rick and Abraham begin arguing heatedly, and (except for Glenn's intervention) nearly come to blows until Glenn finally gets Abraham to agree to stay for one more half of a day, in exchange for Glenn's guarantee that he, Maggie, and Tara will accompany them to Washington, D.C.

Under the cover of night, Abraham leaves the church with Rick, Michonne, Sasha, Glenn, Maggie, and Tara. As they disappear into the woods, the Hunters appear, arriving at the church from a different route, and break in. Albert and Mike approach a door in the church but are both shot in the head from behind. The Hunters turn around as Rick appears from the shadows and orders them to drop their weapons. Gareth begins to panic and tries to get Rick to back down by threatening the rest of his group, but Rick unceremoniously shoots off his middle and index fingers as he points at the door. Gareth fall to his knees and tells the rest of the Hunters to do as Rick says. All of them except Martin kneel, who insists they haven't been beaten. Abraham steps out of the shadows and puts his rifle to Martin's head, and orders him to get down, which Martin does. Rick talks to Gareth before pulling the machete with the red handle from his belt and slashing Gareth with it. Rick, Michonne, Sasha, and Abraham hack and bludgeon the remaining Hunters to death.

During the next morning, Abraham gives Rick a map depicting the route they would taking to Washington. The group has decided to split up, with Abraham's group, along with Glenn, Maggie and Tara leaving for Washington, and the rest of the group promising to follow after Daryl and Carol return. Rick then opens the map to find the message, "Sorry for being an asshole earlier. Come to Washington. The new world's gonna need RICK GRIMES".

"Self Help"
Abraham and his group are driving down the road in the church short bus when it suddenly breaks down mid-travel and crashes. After it catches fire the group is forced to abandon it and take shelter in a nearby library. At night he has sex openly with Rosita, who notices Eugene watching them - as usual - but Abraham doesn't mind, saying "he's harmless". The next day they find a fire truck across the street and Abraham manages to start it up and drive it briefly, but human remains stuck in the air intakes cause it to stall - evidence suggests the truck was used to kill walkers. He is unaware that the truck was also used to barricade a group of walkers inside the fire station, who begin to pour out from the unblocked doorway. Eugene uses the truck's powerful hose to destroy the walkers, impressing Abraham. The group manage to fix the truck and drive it for some time before it breaks down again. As Abraham tries to fix it a horrible stench is blown their way from over the horizon. The group walks out to locate the source and see a vast herd of walkers moaning in the far distance. Abraham demands that they keep going, much to the protest of the others, and in frustration he drags Eugene back to the fire truck. The group begins yelling and fighting, which at this point Eugene decides to confess: he had lied about being a scientist the entire journey in order to survive, and that he had sabotaged the bus to stall the trip, fearing what would happen if everyone found out the truth. Abraham angrily punches Eugene, knocking him unconscious, and is surprised when Rosita steps in his way to stop him, hand on her pistol. He walks off some distance and falls to his knees, crying.

Throughout the episode, there are several flashbacks that portray Abraham's back story during the early days of the outbreak. He is first seen covered in blood and cuts and killing off the last of a group of men with a soup can in the back of a supermarket, then going to see if his family is okay - it is suggested that the men he was killing were attacking them. His family - consisting of his wife Ellen, his son A.J. and daughter Becca - is cowering when he finds them, and they shrink back in fear upon seeing him approach, much to his dismay. The next morning, he wakes up to find them missing, and sees a written message left behind that reads "Don't try to find us". He rushes out of the supermarket and searches for them, only to later find their devoured remains lying in a ditch. Saddened and traumatized, he pulls out his handgun and prepares to commit suicide, but stops when he sees Eugene stumbling towards him and calling for help, trying to flee from some walkers. Abraham gets up and kills them easily, then walks back to his dead family. Eugene begs him to come back, saying he has "a very important mission". Abraham pauses and looks back at him.

"Crossed"
Abraham spends most of the episode on his knees; unresponsive and staring into the distance. A frustrated Rosita tries to give him water, but he smacks the bottle out of her hand and looms over her menacingly. Maggie draws her pistol on him, threatening him to sit back down. He looks at her sadly, and then complies - back on his knees again. He continues on in this catatonic state, even when the others head off to scavenge and Maggie bitterly scolds him to "get over (him)self." Eventually, Maggie gently offers him her bottle of water, and asks if he really wanted her to shoot him. He finally opens up: "I thought I did... but I didn't." At this point Eugene finally regains consciousness, and as Maggie runs over to help him, Abraham picks up the water bottle.

"Coda"
Abraham and his group return to the church where Michonne, Carl, and Father Gabriel have locked intruding walkers inside. Michonne informs them that Beth Greene, Maggie's sister, is alive, much to Maggie's relief. Together they head to Atlanta to assist Rick, Daryl, Tyreese, Sasha, and Noah - all of whom have already gone, in retrieving her. They reappear at the end of the episode, colliding with Rick and the others at the hospital only to see Daryl carrying Beth's corpse.

"What Happened and What's Going On"
Abraham appears in the end of the episode while Tyreese is being buried.

When they run out of gas, Abrahan and the group begin their long walk to Washington D.C. When they are moving they spotted tons of walkers. He participates in pushing the walkers off the cliff. Sasha comes over to the walkers and begins to stab them with Abraham remarking "The plan just got dicked". In rage Sasha swings her knife at a walker but misses and accidently cuts Abraham's arm. Abraham offers Sasha a drink of whisky but she coldly rejects him. Abraham and the group kept moving when they spotted cars but they didn't have any gas. Then they kept moving when they saw 4 dogs barking at the group, Abraham was getting ready to attack the hostile dogs but Sasha shot the 4 dogs and they start barbecuing the dog meat. They continue to walk, but they find water left to the group by a friend. Eugene wanted to test it out to see if it safe but Abraham knockes the bottle of water off his hands. Then Abraham and the group hear rain coming and Abraham and the group  enjoy the rainfall except for Daryl, Sasha and Maggie who remain depressed of the recent loss of their loved ones. Then they also hear a tornado coming. Daryl found a barn and directs the group over to it. Abraham and the group search the barn. While they were all relaxing they hear walkers coming in and Abraham helpes the group hold the front barn door from walkers that are breaking in the barn, but lightning incapacitates the attacking swarm.

"The Distance"
Abraham is present when Aaron, a recruiter for a supposed Alexandria Safe-Zone, is interrogated at the hands of Rick. Aaron tells the group about two cars, and Abraham is one of the people sent by Rick to check it out, along with Rosita, Michonne, Maggie and Glenn. When the group finds the cars, Abraham and Rosita check out a motor home and find food inside. He then mentions the past events after Eugene's lie reveal and asks Rosita if she thought he was going to hurt her, to which she replies "no". Abraham gets separated from the rest of the group when the car Rick, Glenn, Michonne and Aaron were in is driven right into a herd, but later reunites with the group in an old warehouse. Abraham drives the motor home to Washington himself, believing that the group would be able to get there even with low fuel, which instantly leads to the motor home's battery dying. Glenn redirects Abraham to a spare battery elsewhere in the motor home, having learned about mechanics before from Dale Horvath. At the end of the episode, Abraham arrives at the Alexandria Safe-Zone with the rest of the group.

"Remember"
Abraham enters Alexandria with the rest of his group and demands to know who "Deanna" is when Aaron mentions her after Nicholas demands everyone to turn over their weapons. Following their entrance, Abraham is interviewed by Deanna Monroe, the leader of the community, where she assigns him to work on the construction crew to assist with the town walls. He can be seen residing in the house with everyone during the first few nights of their stay in Alexandria, often on watch at one of the windows.

"Forget"
Abraham arrives at Deanna's party with Rosita. They both appear to be uncomfortable, but she relaxes after she mentions there is beer and smiles when Abraham goes off to grab some drinks. Later, he is seen talking to Michonne.

"Spend"
Abraham is first shown washing his face, apparently after having sex with Rosita. He is now working as a part of Tobin's construction team as they are starting the process of expanding the wall. While gathering materials from the mall construction site they are attacked by numerous walkers. During the gunfire, the lookout Francine is knocked from her perch. Tobin shows a need to leave her behind, but Abraham rushes in and manages to save her life. He then goes under the perch and gives Francine his gun while he uses the spike ball to kill the walkers. Afterwords, he scolds Tobin for almost leaving Francine to die, then she comes and punches Tobin for that. He then orders two lookouts and wants everyone to build a wall, with him taking in charge.

"Conquer"

He sits down next to Eugene and Tara when Rosita purposefully knocks over a pan, waking Eugene. The two make amends and acknowledge that they both helped each other to Alexandria and that they were both sorry for what had happened prior. He is next seen at the meeting in the evening, where is supports and stands by Rick, saying that Rick knows how to survive and he of all people, deserves to stay in Alexandria. Pete Anderson, the abusive husband of Jessie with whom Rick brawled in the streets the day before, shortly arrives in a drunken rage yelling at Rick. When Deanna's husband Reg attempts to calm down Pete, Pete accidently slits Reg's throat, leading to Abraham taking action and immediately tackles and subdues Pete. With Abraham pinning him down, Rick shoots and kills Pete.

"First Time Again"
Abraham first appears in a flashback. Abraham carries Reg's corpse to the Alexandria graveyard and is laying it down when he notices Reg's wedding ring on his finger. He draws a bottle of whiskey and pours a little on the tarp covering Reg's body in tribute to him. Later that night, Abraham is drunk on the porch of a house. He plays with Reg's wedding ring by trying to keep it atop his whiskey bottle without it falling. He then notices Sasha walking by him. He throws up a peace sign at Sasha, who, after some hesitation, returns the gesture. Another day, while at the town meeting to discuss what needs to be done about a quarry full of walkers near the community, Abraham decides to go with Sasha to help lead the walkers away from the quarry. Abraham later appears with Rick's group outside the Safe-Zone where he asks Sasha if she still wants to die. He later appears when he helps Rick and the others to help construct a wall. When walkers appear and the Alexandrians are too scared to fight back, Abraham and the others go over and kill the other walkers.

In the present, Abraham is present at the quarry when suddenly one of the trucks on the other side of the quarry blocking in walkers collapses. Rick announces everyone to go in their positions, that they must execute the plan at that moment. Abraham exclaims "We'll do it live" and he and Sasha get in their car and begin to drive off to the orange balloons at the road wall where they will slowly lure the walkers away. In the car, Abraham asks Sasha if she is doing good, to which Sasha replies that she already answered him. As they are leading the walkers away, Abraham notices a few walkers heading off into the woods after some shiny material in the woods, so he gets out of the car, gets their attention, and kills a few of them before getting back into the car. Sasha asks him why would he do something as reckless as he did and he says it was fun. He then begins to describe the events that led to the deaths of Reg and Pete in a gruesome matter, which Sasha notices. Everything is going as planned until they hear a horn begin blaring from Alexandria.

"Thank You"
Still leading the herd of walkers away in their vehicles despite many of the walkers heading to Alexandria, Sasha, Abraham, and Daryl all discuss plans to get the herd away from Alexandria without any casualties. Sasha says that the herd could stop them if Daryl goes ahead as he suggested and Abraham agrees with her. As Daryl speeds off anyway, Sasha and Abraham both yell for him not to go ahead.

Later, Sasha and Abraham both listen as Rick alters the plan. He tells Daryl to go back to Sasha and Abraham. At the end of the episode, Sasha and Abraham meet Daryl on the road in their vehicles, continuing to deter the herd away from Alexandria.

Just before the trio start to make their way back to Alexandria, they are brought under fire from an unknown group on the road. Abraham and Sasha both nearly get shot when driving away and Daryl gets separated from Abraham and Sasha. They both crash the car into the woods, and Abraham and Sasha both open fire on two survivors in the car that was shooting at them. Abraham draws his knife and heads over to finish the job but Sasha stops him stating that more of the survivors will be looking for them and they need to leave. Sasha and Abraham both make it into a nearby town when Abraham notices a stray zombie. Abraham proceeds to head over to take out the walker but Sasha stops him as they don't want to leave a trail for the group of survivors to follow. Sasha marks a door with "Dixon" before heading in. Inside the house, Abraham notices a picture of a family which reminds him of his own family that he lost in the initial days of the apocalypse. Abraham then notices a zombie behind a glass wall, and he expresses his desire to kill it. Sasha stops him and she proceeds to talk about his killer instinct and his reckless behavior. Abraham jokingly reminds Sasha that she was in a similar position when she lost Bob and Tyreese and that she cut his arm on their journey to paradise. Sasha acknowledges this and states how similar the both of them are. Early next morning, Abraham patrols the town their in when he comes across a military jeep. In the back much to his surprise, he finds a box of cigars and a case filled with Rockets. Abraham looks around for the rocket launcher when he spots it on a military zombie that is dangling off the bridge. Abraham makes his way over to the zombie and attempts to get the rocket launcher. As Abraham struggles with the zombie and after nearly getting bitten twice, he yells in anger and leaves the zombie. He goes over to the truck and proceeds to smoke one of the cigars when suddenly the zombie falls off the bridge with the rocket launcher barely being held by the strap.

Inside the RV, Abraham quietly asks Glenn if he was intending to have a child with Maggie to which he says yes but is confused as to why Abraham would ask that. Abraham is then seen with Rick and the others who are about to enter a building to save a few other members of the hilltop colony.

Season 7
Abraham will appear in this Season.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Abraham has killed:
 * Greg
 * Pete Anderson (Indirectly Caused)
 * Neil (Alongside Rosita Espinosa and Daryl Dixon)
 * At least 4 unnamed people
 * 4 unnamed members of the Saviors
 * Numerous counts of zombies and presumably unnamed people.

Ellen Ford
Though little is known about Abraham's relationship with his wife, he obviously was greatly protective of her, being the main driving force keeping her alive in the apocalypse. During flashback sequences in "Self Help", he is shown to have killed a group of people, presumably to protect Ellen and their children. Despite reassurances from Abraham that everything would be alright, she seemed deeply disturbed by his actions, hinting at some possible previous tensions. During the night, she attempts to leave him with her children, but are slaughtered by walkers. Abraham, discovering this, becomes deeply damaged, nearly killing himself before Eugene wanders into his proximity. This shows that Abraham had become completely dependent on his family, including Ellen, to keep his drive for living going. Without them, he quickly crumbled into depression until a new purpose could find its way to him in the form of Eugene and his lies about Washington.

A.J. Ford
Abraham was deeply protective of A.J., just as with the rest of his family, though there is a strong suggestion that this feeling wasn't always mutual, as A.J. was deeply disturbed after witnessing his father kill a group of men for their protection. While it is unknown whether A.J. wanted to leave his father to be with his mother when they left, Abraham's horrified reaction to his demise at the hands of walkers suggests that Abraham had a relatively positive relationship with him, nearly driving him to suicide without his constant need for protection to act as his life's purpose.

Becca Ford
Like A.J. and Ellen, Abraham was deeply protective of Becca, and like the rest of his family, she is horribly frightened when she witnesses Abraham kill a group of men in order to protect them. Guided by her mother, her fear is enough to drive her away (though it is possible their relationship may have been strained before that event) and eventually leads to her death. Distraught at her demise, Abraham nearly commits suicide, having lost his life's purpose: to provide protection for his family.

Rosita Espinosa
"When I first met you, I thought you were the last woman on earth. You're not."

- Abraham to Rosita about leaving her

It is clear that Rosita and Abraham have a stable relationship. Even so, this doesn't stop them from arguing as shown when Eugene wakes Abraham during "Us" and he discovers they're outside the other end of the tunnel Glenn and Tara entered, the two began to argue about Rosita stopping the vehicle they found and delaying their plan. Though later Rosita was seen flirting with Abraham on the bus to Washington D.C. and having sex with him later, but when Eugene lied and Abraham punched him Rosita stood between them with her hand on her pistol, showing that she was at least wary of him. This shows again later when she hurls away a bottle of water given to him by her and she appears scared. This put a strain on their relationship and they kept their distance until Abraham worryingly asked if she believed he would have hurt her, but she answers "no", showing signs of them beginning to resolve their differences.

After his arrival in Alexandria, his relationship with Rosita continued, and he cared for her deeply. But with time he began to develop feelings for Sasha.

After they had sex, Rosita gave Abraham a necklace made of the truck as this glass, showing that she loved him and cared for him.

In Not Tomorrow Yet, Abraham decides to break up with Rosita and leaving home. Rosita in the tears questions, Abraham replies "When I first met you, I thought you were the last woman in the world, and is not" out of the house. Leaving Rosita heart breaking, showing the end of the relationship.

Despite seemingly hostile to each other, Rosita still looks out for Abraham as she saves Abraham from being shot by a savior after Dwight kills Denise.

Eugene Porter
"You know how to bite a dick, Eugene. I mean that with the upmost of respect."

- Abraham to Eugene while they apologize to each other

Abraham and Eugene meet early in the apocalypse when Abraham saves Eugene from a few pursuing walkers. Eugene informs him of his mission and Abraham then acts as an escort to Washington, DC for Eugene. It is seen that Eugene feels a superiority complex over Abraham, because he considers himself to be smarter than Abraham. However, Abraham does not appear to be that angry over the disabling of their vehicle, despite it being caused by Eugene's poor riflemanship from his failed attempt to kill some walkers. When Eugene reveals that he is not a scientist and that he does not know how to cure the disease, Abraham is enraged and assaults him, knocking him unconscious. They have hardly interacted since but Abraham was seen knocking a bottle of water from his hand left by an unknown stranger, which Rick believed could be poisoned, showing that he at least somewhat resolved his anger towards him.

The two then apologize to each other in "Conquer", and they both seem to return to being friends.

However, in "Twice as Far" when Abraham saves him from being bitten by a walker whose head is drenched in liquid metal, Eugene scolds him as he could have killed it himself and that he no longer needs Abraham's protection. but the two repair their relationship after Eugene helps save Rosita and Daryl from the Saviors by creating a diversion and biting Dwight in the crotch, taking a bullet during the firefight as well.

Glenn Rhee
Over time Abraham and Glenn have made a good friendship and trusts him more than anyone in Rick's group, presumably having known him the longest. When they first met started out pretty badly when Abraham was telling Glenn that Maggie was dead and that he should "do something with his life". This results in a fight, the noise from which attracts a horde of walkers. Due to Eugene accidentally shooting their truck's gas tank full of holes, rendering it useless, he, along with Eugene and Rosita, decided to follow Glenn and Tara to look for Maggie. During a conversation with Tara, Abraham reveals he has respect for Glenn, but believes saving the world is more important. Later, when Glenn apologizes for hitting him, Abraham jokingly tells Glenn that he isn't sorry for fighting Glenn due to his love for combat. Abraham ultimately forgives him. The two work well together trying to escape Terminus and though Abraham is impatient to return to the road Glenn convinces him to wait and when Rick and Abraham almost come to blows over leaving in the wake of Gareth's threat, Glenn comes between them again. When Tara states that she will leave no matter what Abraham immediately asks for Glenn and Maggie to come also, showing his trust in him as they ultimately do. They are seen chatting as they guard a store they're hold up in from walkers but later when Abraham insists they drive through a herd of thousands Glenn tries to argue his point and tries to stop Abraham from hurting Eugene. However the two seem to be on good terms now and Abraham is shown to acknowledge Glenn as a group leader as he followed his orders to shoot anyone whilst following Aaron's claim, and also seems to be impressed by Glenn's mechanical skills to fix the R.V. Later on in Alexandria, Glenn and Abraham's relationship is just as strong. When the walker herd attacks Alexandria, Glenn is swarmed and almost killed, before Abraham and Sasha arrive back to the safezone and shoot the walkers about to kill Glenn to which Glenn remains thankful to Abe for saving him. Abraham later quietly talks to Glenn and asks about how he came up with having a child with Maggie to which he simply says its something they've talked about. Abraham looks at a photo of Glenn and Maggie's still born child and he smiles to Glenn who smiles back.

Maggie Greene
Abraham and Maggie are rarely seen interacting to each other, but it shall be noted that the two trusted each other from the very first time they met. as evident by how Maggie trusted him to take her to where he believes Glenn, and Tara should be at after departing from his small band of survivors. Abraham is also shown to care about Maggie as well, as evident how he willingly return to where Glenn is with Tara, just to bring back Maggie to him. However their relationship briefly went downhill when Abraham beat Eugene into unconsciousness after revealing that he lied, with Maggie pulling a gun on him for Rosita's sake. However at Alexandria Maggie supports Tobin's vote for Abraham to replace him as leader of the construction crew, showing that she has forgiven him somewhat. Abraham is happy for Glenn and Maggie's decision to have a kid as seen when he smiles at the pair when he see's a picture of their stillborn child.

Tara Chambler
It appears that Tara and Abraham get along reasonably well, although Tara does question why he smiles when killing walkers and why he's assisting Eugene to get to Washington. Abraham and Tara begin to form a friendship when Abraham discusses her sexuality, and also why she is helping Glenn with her. Abraham visits Tara in "Conquer" bringing flowers with him, and checks on her at her bedside, showing he has developed an affection for her after their time spent on the road.

Rick Grimes
Upon first encounter, Rick was slightly suspicious of Abraham but after learning from Maggie that he and the others had saved her and Glenn, Rick accepts Abraham as a member of the group. Abraham followed his plan to attack the Terminus residents and later, once escaping, helped Rick above the fence. However, when Rick was keen to use the stored weapons to finish the remaining survivors off, Abraham disagreed, noting that they just got out. Later, whilst discussing with Rosita, Abraham said they would talk to Rick (likely about their mission to Washington).

In "Strangers", it is shown that Rick and Abraham have formed a friendship and the two clearly respect each other as Abraham addressed Rick as "Officer", although Abraham seemed a little unappreciated and noticed the group's decision to go with Rick; however, after Rick's returning to the church with food and their having a meal, Abraham proposed a toast, noting that the group were strong and skilled survivors. Once Abraham offered Rick and his group the chance to travel to Washington, Rick was grateful for his offer and agreed with him, saying "We're in." The two smiled and laughed.

In "Four Walls and a Roof", their relationship becomes strained upon learning of the impending threat of Gareth and the remaining Terminus residents, where Abraham insisted on leaving whereas Rick wanted to remain at the church and await for Daryl and Carol, Rick scolds him for his near abandoning them as he believes that Abraham owes them for saving his life, the two then have a heated discussion and nearly come close to a physical confrontation until Glenn manages to settle the atmosphere down. Despite this incident, the two team together and manage to defeat Gareth and the other Terminants once entering the church. The two brutally slaughter the remaining Terminus residents in retribution and have settled their differences. By the next day, Abraham and Rick parted on good terms, promising to each other that they would meet at D.C, and both have gained a newfound respect for each other after Abraham leaves a note on the map for Rick which says "Sorry I was an asshole. Come to Washington. The new world's gonna need Rick Grimes" and thus the burying of the hatchet between the two.

When they reunited in Atlanta when Eugene's lie was discovered, Abraham chose to willingly follow Rick to a new area of Rick's choosing. In "Them", Rick arranges a plan for two groups of three to line up on each side of the road to lure a group of walkers approaching them towards either side of the road, then pushing them into a ravine. He brings Abraham to the front of his group, showing he believes Abraham is capable of carrying out the plan. Rick looks at Abraham as the walkers get closer, to which Abraham nods back to convey he's ready. Abraham is also the first person Rick entrusts to go with Glenn, Maggie and Michonne to find Aaron's RV and car. In "Remember" Abraham is unsure about handing over his weapons at Alexandria and he looks at Rick to make sure it's the right move, who in return nods back and Abraham turns in all his weapons, showing he trusts Rick's judgement. In "Conquer" Abraham joins Glenn, Carol and Michonne in visiting Rick after he wakes up from his injuries. They discuss what they're going to do at Deanna's meeting about exiling Rick, showing that Abraham has become an integral part of the group and is now involved in the group's decision making process. Abraham then vouches for Rick during the meeting by delivering a speech where he tells the Alexandrians that they don't know what they're doing but Rick does, showing Abraham fully trusts and respects Rick as a person and a leader.

Later on, Abraham is one of the first people who supports Rick's plan to lure the walker herd away from Alexandria, and he assists Rick with the plan. He is also seen attending Rick's trip to the hilltop, and Abraham saves Rick from being attacked by Hilltop resident Andy. Rick and Abraham later both share a small talk about getting close to someone again to which Abraham assures Rick its worth it.

Michonne
At first, Michonne and Abraham's relationship was off to a rocky start. In "Strangers" the two argue when Abraham keeps trying to persuade Rick to leave for Washington as Michonne demands they take some time to rest at the church and get some supplies before taking any further action. During the house party at Alexandria in "Forget", Abraham casually interacts with Michonne on the porch, they both share a laugh when Michonne asks how much Abraham has had to drink, indicating they have developed more of a friendship.

Sasha Williams
Sasha and Abraham aren't seen interacting much but Sasha is willing to go with Abraham on his mission to Washington D.C upon their first meeting, indicating she trusts him. However in "Them" the two appear to have a strained relationship. Abraham appears frustrated when Sasha ruins their plan to lure a group of walkers approaching them down a ravine, to which Abraham utters "The plan just got dicked". Later, Abraham tries to help Sasha cope with the loss of Bob and Tyreese by telling her "You're with friends", to which she responds "We're not friends". Later on when the group gets to Alexandria, its shown that Sasha and Abraham are both on good terms. After Sasha prays with Maggie and Gabriel, Abraham shows her a peace sign which she shows right back. Abraham also seems concerned with Sasha's mentality after she just recently lost Bob and Tyreese, with Abraham quietly asks her if she wants to die after everything shes been through which she says she doesn't. Abraham and Sasha both team up to help Daryl lure the quarry zombies away from Alexandria. Sasha notices Abraham's strange behavior in the car and she seems concerned with his sanity. Near the end of "Always Accountable" Abraham reveals to Sasha that he has a romantic interest in her, but Sasha is wary telling him that he has other things to deal with first. Abraham and Sasha's relationship is more or less okay, however it seems as if Sasha doesn't want to get too serious with Abraham as she says she is switching patrols with Eugene much to Abraham's dismay. However it's also shown that Abraham clearly loves Sasha as he is shown constantly thinking about her despite being in a relationship with Rosita.

Bob Stookey
Bob is seen to respect and trust Abraham, this is proven by him believing and trusting Abraham's plan about getting Eugene to Washington so much so that he wishes to join him. However, it is currently unknown how Abraham feels about Bob, even after his death.

Daryl Dixon
Daryl and Abraham are shown to be very good friends, as they have been together in the group since Terminus and as such have constantly looked out for each other ever since. Abraham is later seen working alongside Daryl and Sasha to lure the mega herd away from Alexandria. Abraham is shown to be extremely thankful for Daryl blowing up a small group of saviors that were about to shoot him and Sasha. Later in the hilltop as Abraham is almost choked to death by one of the residents, Daryls comes and saves his life and asks Abraham if hes okay which shows the two are very good friends.

Bud
"Nibble On That."

- Abraham after Daryl blows him up. Abraham and Bud have a bad relationship. Bud straight up tells Daryl and Sasha that he has to take his stuff for Negan and that bit, chew swallow and repeat. Abraham then ask "Who's Negan?" which makes Bud aim his gun at Abraham also calling him a ginger. Bud then says he's not going to kill them. But then changes him mind and aims his gun at both Sasha and Abraham. Daryl then blows up Bud and the saviors.
