No, I ain't feelin' all right! My baby girl was attacked--
―Gary to Shane as he questions him about killing Paul. (Determinant)[src]

Gary Taylor is the tritagonist and a former antagonist of The Walking Dead: Dead Reckoning. He is also the father of Patricia Taylor. He served as the primary antagonist of the chapters "House Calls" and "Habeas Corpus".

Pre-Apocalypse[]

King County, Georgia[]

Little is known about Gary prior to the outbreak. He lived in King County with his daughter, Patricia and her boyfriend, Paul. Paul had moved in with the two to live together and be with Patty.

Post-Apocalypse[]

King County Sheriff's Department[]

"House Calls"[]

Gary shot and killed his daughter's boyfriend after he turned into a walker and bit Patty. When Shane attempted to calm him down he ran upstairs. Shane talked him down and took him in for questioning.

"Habeas Corpus"[]

He was brought to the King County Sheriff's Department and put in a holding cell with Robb Spanner where he was screaming on how he could not go in there. He bit Leon on the thumb as he was put in the cell. Gary can be cuffed or not upon player's decisions.

"First Blood"[]

Robb tried to bite him after he turned but instead bit and killed Don. Gary will die or survive upon player's decisions.

In-Game Decision[]

Shoot Robb or Pull Them (Alive): If Shane chooses to shoot Robb or pull them, Gary will survive.

Shoot Gary (Dead): If Shane shoots Gary, Robb will bite him on the neck. If Shane learned how to kill a zombie, Shane will shoot him in the head, but if he didn't learn, Robb will bite him and game will end, this is a non-canon death.

"No Turning Back"[]

If he survived the events of the previous episode, Gary will appear. He attempts to stop Shane after his daughter turned into a walker. Gary will die or survive upon player's decisions.

In-Game Decision[]

Gain Gary's Trust / Push Gary (Alive): If Shane gained Gary's trust in chapter two, Gary will listen him and dodges from his zombified daughter. Also, if Shane pushes him, he will survive regardless of player's decisions.

Don't Gain Gary's Trust and Reason With Him or Shoot Patty / Don't Push Him (Dead): If Shane didn't gain Gary's trust, he won't listen him. If Shane tries to reason with him, Gary will refuse him, thus, Patty will bite him. If Shane chooses to shoot Patty when Gary is trying to stop him, the bullet will hit Gary's chest.

"Epilogue"[]

Gary will appear in this chapter if he is survived from all threatens. He decides to stay in King County with Leon or alone. Gary will die in this chapter upon player's decisions.

In-Game Decision[]

Leon Survives (Unknown): If Leon survived, a zombified Don will grab Leon after Shane's leaving. It is unknown if Don bit Gary too or Gary escaped.

Leon is Dead (Dead): If Leon is dead, a zombified Don will grab Gary after Shane leaves. It is presumed Don bit him.
