Made To Suffer[]

Upon his arrival to Woodbury, Hap became a member of the Woodbury Army. He later took part in the prison assault, and when Lilly put a gun in The Governor's mouth, he tried to reason with her, telling her she didn't have to kill him. He is then interrupted by the swarm of zombies and witnessed the death of The Governor. He was also one of the few survivors of the assault.

Hap's fate is explored in the novels. See:

Trivia[]

  • Hap's name was revealed in The Fall of the Governor.
  • He shares the same last name with another character from the Comic Series, thought it is unlikely that they are related.
  • Hap is one of the six Woodbury soldiers who survived the prison assault, along with Lilly Caul, Matthew Hennesey, Speed Wilkins, Gloria Pyne and Ben Buchholz.
  • When Volume 8 was originally released it appears Hap was originally the same character as Red due to their similar appearance and the position they're standing at the end of Issue 48. The novel series retconned this and they are canonically separate characters.
    • This explains why the novels state Hap to be 75 years old, while he appears much younger in the comics.
