Hildy is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. He is a resident of the Emissary Suites.
Pre-Apocalypse
Germany
Before the apocalypse, Hildy was part of a German group that was vacationing in Georgia.
Post-Apocalypse
Savannah, Georgia
At the outset of the Wildfire Virus outbreak, Hildy and his group got stranded in Georgia and took refuge at the Emissary Suites. As the years passed, they built a thriving community and helped other survivors, giving them a new home and a second chance at life.
Season 8
"Anton"
Hildy referees a soccer game for the settlement's residents and calls the game after Klaus scores a goal against Frank. When Victor, Frank, and Klaus are about to have breakfast, Hildy stops by and informs them that there is a new arrival at the gates. A short time later, Hildy goes on a supply run and finds an unconscious Madison Clark, and brings her to the settlement. He is present at the council meeting, in which he agrees with everyone else to let Madison stay. When members of Troy Otto's group arrive at the settlement to take Madison, Hildy follows them to Victor and Frank's apartment to discover that Madison is missing, along with Klaus. That evening, Hildy and the other residents are rounded up by Troy Otto's group at gunpoint and held hostage until Daniel Salazar and the other PADRE residents arrive to liberate the captured survivors.
"Sanctuary"
At PADRE, Hildy and Marietta bring a blindfolded Tracy Otto to a holding cell where Victor explains to her that she will help save PADRE.
"Keeping Her Alive"
Amidst regular daily life on PADRE, Klaus, who is helping a younger boy with his math, notices the return of June, Dwight, Sherry, and Odessa to the island. Panicking, Klaus warns Hildy and Marietta, who are guarding the door to the cell area, in German that the group is back and orders them to stall the others while he tells his father.
The two refuse to allow the group inside under Strand's orders before Strand rejoins them with Frank and Klaus. June demands to know where Tracy is, revealing that they'd had someone keep an eye on Strand while the group was gone, not trusting him alone due to Strand's past. Strand suggests discussing the situation in a more civilized manner and greets Dwight, whom he hasn't seen in a long time. Strand instructs Frank in German to bring Klaus to their room, but Frank refuses to leave his husband, so Hildy takes the boy instead.
At Lowcountry Landing, Luciana and the Gearheads confront Troy, Russell, and the rest of his people. After failed negotiations, a large number of PADRE residents emerge from hiding and surround Troy's group, amongst them Hildy, June, Dwight, Sherry, Odessa, Frank, and Marietta. The tensions eventually explode into a gunfight that leaves most of both sides dead and more wounded. Strand finds Frank desperately tending to a dying Hildy, who has been shot in the chest and is bleeding out fast. Frank begs his husband to get more dressings, but Hildy dies, and Strand sadly informs Frank that it's too late. Frank refuses to give up on Hildy, but he quickly reanimates, so Strand grabs Hildy's knife and stabs his friend in the head with it.
