We are the last hope.
Elizabeth Kublek about the alliance.

The Alliance of the Three refers to an alliance between the three fortified, survivor cities of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Portland, Oregon, and Omaha, Nebraska in AMC's The Walking Dead: World Beyond and The Ones Who Live. It is also indirectly referenced in The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead.

Post-Apocalypse[]

At some point following the outbreak, the three reclaimed major cities located in different areas of the United States formed a large network, with the Civic Republic (located in Philadelphia) being one of the aforementioned communities, using a three-circled figure as their symbol. Unlike the other cities, the Civic Republic of Philadelphia was easily hidden without much effort as Philadelphia was believed to have been destroyed in Operation Cobalt. The Civic Republic came into possession of helicopters that were utilized as a means of long-distance transportation and to scavenge areas for valuable supplies and resources. It is not known how many helicopters any of these communities possess, but as seen through coded maps that displays the CRM's ability to reach substantial distances across the former United States, they clearly have a substantial amount of them, on top of other military resources.

At some point, Omaha formed a direct compact with the Campus Colony (which had a population of 9,671 people), in which the latter would serve as a satellite to the city.

Eventually, the Civic Republic encountered a large group of survivors situated in a junkyard in Virginia and made a deal with their leader Anne (under the alias "Jadis") that, in exchange for bringing them strong survivors, they would supply her and her people with much-needed resources. The grading system this group used for captured survivors was marking them as an "A" (survivor with leadership abilities willing to die for their cause) or "B" (an everyday person just trying to survive) which Anne would assign to the captives herself before delivery. It is not known how many survivors were given to the helicopter group by Anne and her people or what fate befell them after they were taken away, or if the group made similar arrangements with other survivor groups or settlements. One notable survivor captured by Anne and her people was Heath, a supply runner from the Alexandria Safe Zone who was separated from his ally, Tara, while on a scouting mission and was taken away by the helicopter group to an unknown fate.

Anne would later reveal that she was planning on trading Gabriel Stokes to this group after he was captured by her lieutenant Tamiel, though he was rescued by his own group before this could occur. It is highly likely that Anne made a deal with Negan Smith and the Saviors to help fight back against Rick and his people in order to obtain 12 new survivors to be traded to the helicopter group for supplies. This however never occurred as well.

World Beyond[]

Season 1[]

"Brave"[]

The Alliance of the Three come together at the Campus Colony for "Monument Day". Later, Commander Elizabeth Kublek and her CRM soldiers carry out a massacre in Campus Colony, wiping out more than nine thousand people, though the Bennett sisters, along with Elton Ortiz, and Silas Plaskett, had already left the settlement for New York, with security officers Felix Carlucci and Huck going after them.

Season 2[]

"Konsekans"[]

The day after Monument Day, the CRM blow up the walls of Omaha, leading a column of empties to city, killing all 97,404 inhabitants, thus wiping out Omaha entirely.

"Blood and Lies"[]

It's revealed that the CRM eliminated Omaha and the Campus Colony using chlorine gas, disguising it as an attack by a massive herd. Jadis reveals to Huck that the CRM next intends to destroy Portland, the last of the other cities in the Alliance of the Three. Huck passes on the warning to the Endlings through Percy who theorizes that the CRM was only using the Alliance to scope out their competition before waiting for the perfect moment to strike in order to become the sole major power left. It's also revealed that the Civic Republic's civilian government is unaware of their military's actions against their allies and other survivors.

"Death and the Dead"[]

During a confrontation, Jadis reveals the CRM's motives for destroying Omaha and the Campus Colony. The military determined that the alliance would be a drain on their own resources and Omaha and Portland had become too reliant on the Civic Republic. They made the decision to eliminate them and take in as many assets, including at least 10,000 children over the course of two years, to ensure their own survival.

The Ones Who Live[]

Season 1[]

"Years"[]

Rick mentions the Alliance of the Three to Michonne in his letters. In addition, Major General Beale mentions how, unlike Omaha and Portland, the Civic Republic is more easily hidden because everyone believes Philadelphia to have been destroyed in Operation Cobalt.

Later, Pearl Thorne shows Rick a news report on the destruction of Omaha. Thorne expresses a belief that it was people who were responsible, that the Civic Republic's secret location has kept it safe, and that Portland must follow their lead in order to survive. Lieutenant Colonel Donald Okafor hints that he's aware of the truth, telling Rick that there will be "no more Omaha's" if they succeed in changing things for the better from the inside.

"The Last Time"[]

As a part of the Echelon Briefing, Major General Beale reveals the truth about the destruction of Omaha and the Campus Colony to Rick along with the fact that the CRM intends to destroy Portland the next day, extracting selected children from the city first. Beale tells Rick that the destruction of the last of their Alliance partners will allow the CRM to declare martial law on the Civic Republic itself and do away with the Civic Republic Council. "With the city under CRM control and our Alliance partners dead, we will march across this country and further eliminate any growing competition. We will take their resources and ensure supremacy. And maybe... maybe we get to survive".

However, Rick kills Beale. Then he and Michonne destroy the CRM's supply of Chlorine Gas as well as the CRM Force Command and all of the Frontliners. The couple travels back to Philadelphia and reveals the CRM's atrocities to the Council, including what the CRM did to the rest of the Alliance. Sometime after, the Civic Republic's symbol is no longer three interlinking circles representing the Alliance, but rather one solitary circle - indicating that the remaining Alliance between Philadelphia and Portland was dissolved. However, the Civic Republic later creates an alliance with the Commonwealth, a secured city in Ohio and presumably the Coalition as a whole.
