Peter Joseph Randall, better known as Pete, is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in Telltale's The Walking Dead. Prior to his death, he was the leader of the Cabin Group, all of whom were escaped Howe's Hardware refugees, prior to the arrival of Clementine, along with his nephew Nick.
Overview[]
Pete, being relatively older than his group, appears to be much wiser and more perceptive of things than the others. He seems very capable of reading people (in his words, he possesses a "good bullshit detector") as shown when he believes Clementine's statement of being bitten by a dog. He appears to act as a moral compass for his group alongside Alvin, as he is one of the few to defend Clementine when she is believed to be bitten. He also seems to be able to remain calm under pressure, as he did not panic when he and Luke discovered Clementine's bite wound.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Location Unknown[]
Pete's early life is never gone into detail, however, judging by his accent, skills, and attitude, it can be assumed that he came from a working-class family in the American South. However, Pete may mention that he attended a boarding school in San Bernardino, California, and that he started smoking in June 1963 while he was there. He can also mention that his father said "We're burning daylight" often.
Pete used to go hunting with his nephew, Nick, before the outbreak. Nick's father was rarely around and was described by Pete as a real "piece of shit when he was", so Pete assumed a fatherly role with Nick.
Pete once took Nick on a hunting trip where they spotted a roe buck when he was about Clementine's age. Pete was disappointed that Nick didn't want to shoot the buck, and when they argued over it, Nick's rifle went off and nearly hit Pete. Pete later went out and found the buck, killed it and took it back to his sister's house to show to Nick, which caused Nick to not speak to his uncle for weeks.
Post-Apocalypse[]
At some point after the outbreak, Pete became aware of a cousin being bitten near a place called Ainsworth. His cousin had the bitten limb removed in order to survive the bite, a tactic that was ultimately successful, as Pete later noted that it had worked. It is unknown what happened to his cousin.
Howe's Hardware[]
Pete, his nephew, Nick, and his sister, were members of a community governed by a man named William Carver. Initially, they trusted Carver as the leader, but after the disagreements between him and Luke about how they should run things in their community reached a boiling point, and the problem between Carver and Rebecca stirs everything up to the point where everything is unbearable, Pete, along with his family and a few others who agreed with Luke, decided to escape from the community. They succeed in doing so, though they were forced to leave Reggie behind because he fell when he and the others were running away from the community.
The group then found a cabin in the woods, eventually deciding to use the cabin as their shelter for a time being until the group figured out where to go next. One day, they found a girl who was bitten in the woods. Not willing to let her to die out there, Pete and the others brought her in and tried to help her out. He thought they could control it, but the girl turned while his sister was standing nearby, His sister got bit and was killed. Nick was forced to shoot his mother in the head in order to prevent the reanimation process.
Ever since Carver's community, Pete seems to take the leadership role of the group for being the eldest, making decisions alongside Carlos and Luke.
Season Two[]
"All That Remains"[]
Pete along with Luke find Clementine being overwhelmed by a walker that pounces her. While Luke is helping Clementine to stand up, Pete is seen covering them with his crossbow, using all of his bolts. Both him and Luke run away from the scene, with an injured Clementine on Luke's arms. After running through several distance from the scene, Luke, and Pete eventually walk slowly, as they introduce themselves to Clementine, and ask Clementine several questions. Pete asks Clementine about her people's whereabouts, because he and Luke do not believe that she has been fending for herself off on her own. Clementine can tell them about what happened to her and Christa or choose to not say anything regarding about it, though either option leaves the two men wary. Pete tells Clementine that he just wanted to let her people know that he and Luke just wanted to help her. Clementine stays quiet. and when Luke asks Clementine about who attacked her, and whether or not those people mentioned names. Luke and Pete are visually concerned.
After revealing the bite on her arm, Pete is shown to be more trustful towards what Clementine has to say about the bite was not from a walker than Luke. He's willing to check the bite with his own eyes, to which eventually he says to Luke that it is a dog bite, since he knows Clementine is not lying. Luke is not happy about that, and says that Nick wouldn't be happy about it, not after what happened to his mother, whom was Pete's sister. Pete scolds Luke not to include that to the debate. Luke apologizes, to which Pete would accept.
The two then let Clementine alone, concerning that the bite might be from the walker that they saw pounce on her back in the woods. Pete is shown to be concerned, asking whether or not she is okay, and just as he asked the question, Clementine falls to the ground, and both Luke and Pete are shown to be running towards her.
Regaining her consciousness, Pete is seen within his group, debating on what they should do to Clementine. When Nick almost shot her in the face, Pete says to Nick angrily that he is lucky not being able to shoot a damn thing. Later on in the debate, Pete suggests the group to just hack Clementine's hand off, because when he was down in Ainsworth with his cousin, he got bit, and hacked his hand off, and it worked. Alvin frantically asks who would want to do such thing, Pete volunteers to do so if it means saving Clementine's life. Nevertheless of the debate, and what they suggested, Carlos, the doctor in the group, decides to lock Clementine in the shed, until the next morning, just to make sure whether or not she was telling the truth about the bite being from a dog.
Pete is not seen again until he and the group discover Clementine in the midst of killing a walker in the shed that had somehow got inside. Pete comments on the girl was "tough as nails" before Nick demands to know where she got those supplies to sew her arm up with. Astounded by Clementine's skill in attaining supplies from them without their knowledge and somehow being able to suture her own wound, he defends her from Rebecca's accusations and says that she would do the same thing in Clementine's position. After Carlos allows her inside to properly check her wound, he complains about the number of lurkers in the area growing.
Later on the same night, Pete comes into the kitchen, joining the conversation between Luke and Clementine and tells them both to go turn in soon because they were going to check out the fish traps in the morning and he needed them rested. He offers Clementine a chance to go with them and check out the traps, and she accepts.
In the next day, just like he said, he, Clementine, and Nick walk through the woods to get to their fishing area. He leaves Nick when he takes a piss on a tree, and as they walk, Pete tells Clementine about Rebecca and to not to take her words personally. After the brief conversation about Rebecca, Pete asks Clementine about whether or not she could shoot a rifle, and tells her a story about this one time, when he and Nick went out hunting. Nick was about her age, and after he wasn't able to shoot a deer, nearly gut shot Pete as he cries. Nick catches up, and overheard what Pete just told Clementine. Nick feels embarrassed, so he yells at Pete and leaves him with Clementine as he walks to the river by himself. Pete says to Clementine that he is just trying to tell Nick to grow up. Clementine tells him that he should tell Nick about that.
Upon arriving at the river bank they found bodies on both sides of the river. One of the bodies is Roman, whom shot in the face by someone unknown. Nick and Pete are concerned that Carver was the one whom was responsible for their deaths. Upon hearing the name, Clementine lingers in confusion.
Pete then tells Nick to keep an eye for him and the bodies, as well as to check all of them, in case some of them are still alive so that they can know who did that to them. Despite Nick's unwillingness to do what he has been told, Pete insists, and tells him to grow up.
In-Game Decision[]
Clementine has the choice to go help Pete when she, Nick, and Pete are attacked by walkers or not.
Help Pete (Alive): If the player chooses Pete, Clementine will sprint over the river to help him. Clementine helps save Pete when a walker is overpowering him. The two watch as Nick runs into the woods to escape the walkers. Pete limps off into the woods with Clementine. Pete is alive but bitten.
Help Nick (Dead): If Clementine chooses to run over to Nick, Pete is devoured by walkers as both Clementine and Nick watch helplessly.
"A House Divided"[]
Pete appears in this episode if Clementine chose to help him at the end of "All That Remains", locked in a cigarette truck to escape from pursuing walkers. After collecting himself, Pete asks Clementine to give him a hacksaw so he can amputate his leg. However, he can't bring himself to do it, reasoning that he would bleed out before anyone finds them or before Clementine can get them back to the cabin. Pete has Clementine light him a cigarette and the two sit and wait for the walkers to dissipate. Later that night, Clementine awakens to see Pete lying on the floor and moaning. Thinking he may have turned, she grabs the hacksaw and slowly approaches him. He coughs and gets back up against the wall, visibly paler and weaker. Pete reveals that he is scared and doesn't want to die, to which Clementine comforts him. Pete asks her to take care of Nick for him, and tells her she needs to get back to the cabin. Clementine can either accept his offer to distract the walkers for her or insist he comes with her so he can say goodbye to Nick. If the latter is chosen, the two exit the truck and start running, but Pete trips and falls. He screams at Clementine to leave him and turns to face the walkers as she heads for the cabin.
After the rest of the group returns from their search for Clementine, Nick, and Pete, they decide to head for a distant mountain range due the threat of Carver. On the way Clementine leads them back to the truck she left Pete at. She finds his body behind a rock, shot and disemboweled alongside a number of walkers. Since he didn't have a gun on him, the group assumes he was a victim of Carver and his men. Nick is greatly upset by Pete's death, and has to be dragged away by Luke as the group heads out again.

Knowing that he would not make it, he selflessly sacrifices himself to distract the walkers so that Clementine can escape.

Quotes[]
The following is a list of some of Pete's most memorable quotes.
Season Two"I don't want them thinkin' we're doin' anything but tryin' to help you. Hmm... not sure how the group is gonna feel about another mouth to feed." "I didn't see any dog, Clementine. (…) I can't remember the last time I saw a dog. (…) Swearing doesn't make something so." "Hmm... well, could be a dog. Hard to say. So where'd this "dog" go? The one that did this. (…) I wanna know how believable her story is. (…) What, did you expect it to stick around?"  "You tellin' us the truth? You look me in the eyes when you answer." "Clementine? You tellin' us the truth? You look me in the eyes when you answer. (…) Hmm. Alright, Clementine. That's good enough for me." "I've got a good bullshit detector, Luke. That's why you can never beat me at poker." "Well, I'm sure I ain't willing to leave a little girl in the woods to die when we got a doctor with us that can make a call. We can have Carlos take a look at it first." "Look, all I know is that there was a little girl in trouble. We couldn't just leave her there. And she said she was bitten by a dog."  "Keep your finger off the trigger, boy!" "Keep your finger off the trigger, boy!" "C'mon, she weighs about as much as a sack of flour. We could take her if it comes to that." "Look, I dunno what the hell took a bite outta her, but still... she's just a kid. Worst case, she turns and we can deal with it." "Finger off the trigger, son. (…) It's alright. Boy's got his mom's temper." "Look, we've had a good run here, but if it's time to move on, then I got no problem with that."   "Any of you would've done the same if you were half as tough as this little girl." "Little girl's tough as nails. (…) This doesn't change a thing. She hasn't done anything to us. (…) Enough already! (…) Goddamn it, don't even start! Any of you would've done the same if you were half as tough as this little girl. So just save it." "I hate to interrupt, but I'm out there standing watch and I can't help but notice this place is lit up like a goddamn beacon in the middle of the woods. (…) Get your winks while you can, 'cause we're goin' fishing at first light. A couple fresh brookies for dinner? Wouldn't that be nice." "How ya holding up? I heard you got an earful from Rebecca last night. Once she gets going, there's no bringing her back. Her bark's worse than her bite. (…) Well, she's got a lot on her mind, lately. Bringing a baby into a world like this?" "Anyone teach you how to shoot? By that I mean taught proper. Any idiot with a finger can shoot. (…) It's okay if you can't. Maybe once things settle down we'll get you a lesson or two. "   "The boy takes the rifle, lines up the shot just like I taught him, then I hear him start whinin'." "Nick was about your age first time I took him huntin'. Came across this beautiful 13-point buck just standin' there on the ridgeline. The boy takes the rifle, lines up the shot just like I taught him, then I hear him start whinin'. He turns to me and he says, "I can't do it. I can't shoot it, Uncle Pete. Please don't make me shoot it." (…) Anyway, so I grab the gun out of his hand before this big buck runs off when BANG! The gun fires. Boy nearly gut shot me. And of course the buck gets away. (…) So anyway, I found that buck later that season. Shot it right in the neck. Brought it up to my sister's, figurin' she'd want to freeze some of the meat. Nick didn't speak to me for weeks. Sometimes you gotta play a role, even if it means people you love hate you for it." "You want us standin' around while you piss on a tree? You know where the river is, boy." "Cause you almost blew her face off yesterday. Seems relevant. Tryin' to let her know it's nothin' personal with you. (…) Because you're always givin' everyone else a hard time." "There is somethin' good in that boy's heart...it's just sometimes his head gets in the way." "Nick's father wasn't there much, and he was a piece of shit when he was, so it fell to me to keep him in line. Raise him right. Meant I couldn't just be nice Uncle Pete." "Nick...? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. (…) Full'a holes. (…) Not sure yet. But it ain't your average gang'a thugs, that much I know." "This wasn't no rinky-dink pissin' match. ("What was it then?") FUBAR." "Jesus Christ, get a hold of yourself. (…) One of these folks might still be alive, and they might just be inclined to tell us who did this. We gotta do this now. Stay here. Keep searchin' these. (…) You know, Nick, I don't like this either, but sooner or later you're gonna have to realize a simple truth. That nobody in this world is ever gonna give a goddamn whether you like somethin' or not. You gotta grow up, son." "Ah! I'm fine, I'm fine! Just... just lost my footing! Damn it. Goddamn it!" "Nick! Jesus! FUCK!" "Well, they shouldn't be able to get through that. On the downside, we can't get through them." "What're you lookin' at? Starin' ain't polite. Come on out and say it. (…) Well, other than this bite, I'm just peachy."   "I'd bleed out like a stuck pig. What are you gonna do, carry me outta here on your back?" "Just because it didn't work once don't mean it can't work at all. (tries to saw off leg but doesn't) I'd bleed out like a stuck pig. What are you gonna do, carry me outta here on your back? Hell. Just...just give me a minute." "Gimme one of those. Probably tastes like pine tar by now. But I'd smoke a dead coon's tail if you had one. Hand it here. ("I don't like smoke.") We're in the middle of a shit sandwich stacked this high, and you're actin' like a goddamn government regulator?" "Damn it. I feel like ten pounds of shit in a five pound sack. Jesus. Stuck in this can the whole damn day. You want to hear somethin' funny? I've been thinking, and I don't want to die. Never thought I'd be the kinda idiot to say somethin' like that, but there it is. I'm scared, Clementine. Jesus, I'm scared." "It feels like... like a rope is wrapped around my neck, gettin' tighter every second. It feels like I can't... can't breathe." "Would you... would you promise me you'll watch out for Nick? I love that stupid kid. No matter what you think, he is a good boy. He's been playin' a tough hand, but he is a good boy."   "Go on now. Find my nephew." "You go find my nephew now, alright? Wait for my signal and run straight to the woods. Just keep movin'. Alright?" "This ain't gonna work. Go on now. Find my nephew. I said go! Goddamn it, go! Run!" |
