Dalton is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. He is a member of Red's Group and served as one of the two tertiary antagonists of the episode "Become" (along with Tina).
Overview[]
Like his brother Red, Dalton is a greedy survivor who will do what it takes to ensure his family's survival. He and Red attempt to rob Rick and Michonne after they had just helped them. He does appear to be a lot less brave than his brother, to the point where he pees his pants out of fear when being held at gunpoint by Rick. However, when the roles are reversed, Dalton shows no remorse after Rick and Michonne are lured into a trap and only cares about the benefits he'll get from Jadis' deal. However, all his actions are done out of care for his family and in his last moments, he attempts to save his sister from being devoured by walkers, which costs his own life.

"Become"[]
Hearing screams and walker growls, Rick and Michonne rush to help, finding Red trying to fend off a walker with skin like stone that repels Rick's machete and Michonne's makeshift spear while Dalton helps Tina who is trapped in an old snare, two other walkers lying dead nearby with a broken axe head stuck in one. Finding that the skin cracks under blows from his prosthetic hand, Rick breaks an opening for Michonne to stab the walker with her spear, putting it down. Red thanks them while Dalton explains that the steam vents causes the walkers' skin to become calcified while there's also the wet ones. Dalton jokes that "you've got your baked and broiled" with the local walkers, comparing them to pierogis. Noticing that the group looks pretty hungry, Rick and Michonne offer them some of their ramen.
However, Red and Dalton pull guns on them, demanding all of their supplies against Tina's objections as the couple had helped them. Red defends their actions as being necessary because it's just how things are these days and things get worse by the hour. Annoyed, Rick and Michonne easily disarms the group, but Dalton insists that they wouldn't be alive without Red, and Red promises that while they don't know if the group won't try this with someone else, he would consider it an instructive experience if Rick and Michonne let his family live. Rick demands that Red promise to leave other people be, surprising Red that he would care about saving anyone else rather than just himself. Red insists that you only look after yourself in this world and "anything else in this world is a fairytale." Rick points out that they had saved the group, and the only people in danger of being killed at the moment aren't the helpers. On Tina's prompting, Red and Dalton promise to leave other people alone. Accepting this, Michonne collects the ramen that they were going to leave the group, Rick empties out Dalton's gun and Michonne pockets all but one bullet which she tosses in the opposite direction. Michonne orders the group to wait until they're gone and Rick orders them to keep their promise.
Around a campfire, Red complains about his group's defeat before a wounded and weakened Jadis approaches them. Stating that she's being pursued by some very dangerous people, Jadis asks for their help. Jadis offers them a place in her community if they get her to somewhere just a few miles away. Looking at Tina with interest, Jadis notices that the other woman is tall.
Inside, Michonne spots a bloody handprint on a railing and the two search for their former friend through the visitor's center which has a number of curtained off areas and seems to have once been inhabited by survivors before being abandoned. Finally, the two spot a limping figure in Jadis' hooded coat, but it turns out to be Tina. Recognizing Rick and Michonne, Tina apologizes, explaining that Jadis had promised to take the group with her in exchange for their help in luring the couple into a trap. Tina insists that the group isn't like Rick and Michonne and they wouldn't have made it on their own. Red and Dalton emerge from hiding, Red armed with a CRM rifle. Hiding nearby, Jadis points out that they're outnumbered 4 on 2 and quotes Negan that "people are a resource". Rick tries to warn the group that whatever Jadis said isn't what they think it is, but Dalton doesn't care, stating that he's fine with it as long as he gets a meal and a new pair of pants. Seeing that the men aren't going to give up, Rick and Michonne attack and quickly disarm them once again. Drawn by the noise, more calcified walkers attack and begin devouring Tina. Emerging from hiding, Jadis opens fire on Rick and Michonne who flee while Dalton and Red run to their sister's aid, only to fall victim to more walkers.
A zombified Tina suddenly attacks Jadis from behind and Michonne attempts to put Tina down, but only hits her in the cheek. As Jadis falls, her gun goes off, hitting a zombified Red while Dalton joins the attack on Jadis. Michonne shoots Tina in the head and Rick retrieves his machete and chops Dalton in the head, putting him down. However, when Rick pulls the walkers off of Jadis, he and Michonne discover that Tina had bitten Jadis in the side of the neck, mortally wounding her.
