―Ed to Clementine about his hat. (Draw-Time Scene)[src]

Ed is a character in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. He is the father of Clementine, husband to Diana, and an engineer.
Overview[]
Although his personality is not well known, Ed seemed to be a caring father to Clementine. His death, along with Diana's, had a big effect on Clementine and contributed to her becoming a much more hardened survivor.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Rural Georgia[]
Before the outbreak, Ed worked as an engineer and married Diana at some point in his life and they had a daughter named Clementine. Ed gave Clementine a hat, which Clementine claims was a birthday present. Clementine continues to wear this hat throughout the series. On Saturdays, he would get up early to make pancakes, with the help of Clementine.
Ed and Diana traveled to Savannah, Georgia when the outbreak began, leaving Clementine with a babysitter, Sandra. Diana called repeatedly to see how Sandra and Clementine were doing.
"No Going Back - Trailer Bonus Scene"[]
One day, he and Diana called to Clementine, telling her not to get his hat that he let Clementine to borrow dirty, while his wife tells their daughter to be nice to her caretaker while they are still gone, the minutes before they hang up, Diana reassures her that she, and Ed will come home in a few days.
While in Savannah, Ed had an incident with a "crazy guy", which caused them to visit the hospital to receive treatment. While at the hospital, numerous cases of walkers began to appear and the hospital was put under quarantine by the military.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Season One[]
"A New Day"[]
When Lee Everett arrives at the house of Clementine's family, he is attracted to a beeping answering machine on the table and decides to listen to the messages. Diana's voice can be heard and she states Ed was attacked by "a crazy guy", implying that he had been bitten by a walker, and that the two will have to remain in Savannah for another night as Ed is not feeling well enough to drive. She then tells Sandra and Clementine to stay safe. In the following messages, Diana hysterically explains how she and Ed have been quarantined and she tells Clementine to call 9-1-1. It is clear to Lee that both of Clementine's parents have probably died and he may decide, throughout the game, whether or not to tell this to Clementine.
"No Time Left"[]
Lee and Clementine, having covered their scent with walker entrails, encounter reanimated Ed and Diana as the two escape the Marsh House through a herd of walkers on the streets. Ed appears with a huge chunk of flesh missing from his gut. Clementine was stunned but had no time to react as Lee passed out from his bite's symptoms, forcing her to drag him into an abandoned store.
Death[]
- Killed By
- Zombies (Alive)
It is hinted by Diana's phone call to Sandra the day of the outbreak that Ed was among the first to be bitten, off-handedly mentioning that he had had an incident with "some crazy guy" the day they had intended to return home. They remained in Savannah an extra day due to him not feeling well enough to travel, then later went to the hospital where Ed was kept in quarantine. Ed later appeared to have a chunk of his side missing, indicating that he may have been attacked and killed by other reanimated walkers while in quarantine.
The reanimated couple is seen in the herd of walkers in front of their hotel by Lee and Clementine nearly four months later.
