Guillaume (pronounced GI-YOM) is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. He is the grandfather of Maribelle.
Overview[]
Although only seen briefly, Guillaume seemed to care greatly for his granddaughter Maribelle. However, to other survivors he is shown to be deceitful and greedy. When meeting Daryl, he pretends to be blind and fakes an injury, as well as being friendly with him to lower his guard. Even after Daryl saves them from Michel and Henri, Guillaume knocks Daryl out and robs him.

"L'âme Perdue"[]
Daryl reaches a farm where he spots Maribelle working and accidentally trips an alarm as he backs away. Maribelle is joined by the apparently blind Guillaume as she calls out to Daryl in French. After Daryl admits that he doesn't know French, Maribelle recognizes him as American and reveals herself to speak English. Daryl hesitantly approaches the pair as Maribelle introduces Guillaume as her grandfather who only speaks a little English and has an injured ankle. The pair offer to trade an apple or a rabbit for medical supplies and Daryl makes the trade. Daryl explains that he intends to return to America and Maribelle introduces herself and Guillaume, asking to go together, suggesting that they can help each other. Much to Maribelle's amusement, as Guillaume always talks about World War II, her grandfather brings up their countries like friends and fighting together. However, Daryl just packs up the pair's apples and Guillaume accuses him of being no friend to which Daryl retorts that there's no more countries either.
A jeep arrives with Henri and Michel who force Daryl to disarm himself and sit down. After a heated exchange, Michel grabs Maribelle and begins dragging her off. Drawing his knife, Daryl overpowers Henri and stabs him in the throat, holding the dying man as a human shield. Michel shoots at Daryl, slightly grazing his neck and causing him to drop Henri. As Michel prepares to shoot Daryl, Maribelle hits him from behind with Henri's spear, subduing him. Before Daryl can shoot the man, Maribelle tells him to save the powder and impales Michel in the chest with the spear, killing him in revenge for what he had tried to do to her. Revealing himself to have been faking his blindness and his injury, Guillaume hits Daryl from behind with his walking stick before he and Maribelle begin to rob Daryl of all of his belongings and Maribelle stabs Henri in the head in order to keep him from reanimating. As Daryl passes out, Isabelle enters and scares off the thieves with a gunshot.
On the road, Maribelle reads American idioms from Daryl's book to her grandfather with amusement. Stéphane drives up with Martin and Phillippe and asks after two men who went out on this road a few days before. Guillaume claims not to have seen them, but Stéphane hits the old man in the face with his spear and tells the two that there's a reward for information. Maribelle pleads that Guillaume is old and weak and wants to stay out of trouble, but Stéphane makes it clear that the other option is punishment for deceit, stomping on Guillaume's hand. Maribelle lies that a man had tried to rob them and two men like Stéphane had come to their aid, but Maribelle and her grandfather ran away without seeing what had happened with Guillaume adding that they were terrified. Stéphane asks where it happened, but Guillaume takes the chance to ask about the reward. Taking a spear, Stéphane stabs Guillaume to death and orders a shocked and horrified Maribelle to take them to where she had encountered his people, leaving Guillaume's body lying on the side of the road.

Trivia[]
- Guillaume claims to have fought in World War II, but given him being in his early to mid 70s, he would have been born in 1947 at the earliest, 2 years after the war ended. He was likely lying about his service in the war.
- Despite this, due to France's mandatory military conscription laws that lasted until 1996, he would've needed to serve in the French Armed Forces at some point after turning 18 years old.
