Indira is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: World Beyond. She is the leader of the Perimeter.
Overview[]
Indira is described as "an intelligent and artistic leader who will do what it takes to protect her family."[1] As the leader of the Perimeter, she will do whatever it takes to protect her people. After encountering the Civic Republic Military, in order to protect her people, Indira agreed to a deal with Lt. Col Elizabeth Kublek in which her soldiers were not permitted to enter their territory in exchange for the Perimeter's commitment to clear walkers and ward away any oncoming survivors from their research facility. Since then, the two groups have peacefully coexisted, with the Perimeter being deemed "neutral" amongst the CRM. Indira is shown to be kind and caring person, being very hospitable to Felix and Iris when they first arrive. Indira runs her community with compassion and fairness, and refuses to give Iris, Felix, and Will to the CRM despite Brody's insistence, telling him that it's not what the community is about.
Unbeknownst to all of the Perimeter residents, Indira is secretly suffering from kidney failure. Because of this, Indira made a secret deal with Elizabeth, who offered dialysis treatment for her kidney problems. Indira kept this exchange a secret from her people in fear of being scrutinized for her "selfishness", and performed her treatments in secrecy with the help of her children for the next two years. Asha states that her illness could be used against her by the people, and that they need Indira since she is the only thing keeping everyone together. Seeing as the Perimeter has been in good with the CRM for the past few years, Indira initially wants no conflict with them. However, after Indira realizes the Endlings are going to start a war against the CRM, Indira proposes that the CRM have been a thorn in their side for so long and that they should join the fight. Though some like Brody are against, she manages to get many people on her side. Eventually Indira's secret deal with the CRM is revealed to the residents. She proves to be a humble, noble, and dignified person, promising to step down after the Perimeter evacuates. After the CRM arrives to execute them all, Indira begs for her people to be spared, though to no avail. During the gunfight that follows, Indira herself courageously picks up a gun and fights, even killing Sergeant Mills and helping Silas to give Dennis covering fire. In the end, Indira and many of her people survive, and it's shown that Elton had stolen medicine from the CRM, which will help Indira survive in the future.

"Konsekans"[]
Helping the injured Felix out of the wagon, Will introduces Felix and Iris to Indira, the head of the council that runs the Perimeter. Indira offers her condolences about the destruction of their home and, with Will vouching for Felix and Iris, promises them a home at the Perimeter until a more permanent solution can be found. Indira allows them to keep their knives, but asks that, for the safety and comfort of others, they surrender all other weapons while they're on the Perimeter's land. With Will's encouragement, Felix hands over his S-Pole and Iris hands over Shiloh. Indira informs them that they can stay in a spare bedroom in the house that Will's staying in and, while the council will want to ask them some questions, she will hold them off until the next day. She also promises to have someone look at Will's leg wound. Indira asks what they're living for now as living takes effort and a reason for everyone. If they're going to be living with the Perimeter now, Indira needs to know those reasons. Felix tells her that he lives for Will, Iris and a few others while Iris tells Indira that she lives for hope. Satisfied, Indira allows them to move on.
"Foothold"[]
Brody argues to the Council that Iris, Felix and Will can't be trusted, pointing out that Iris had killed a CRM soldier with one of their weapons and Will is wanted by the CRM. As such, the three have put them all at risk. Felix tells the Council that they have a plan that will fix that and Iris asks for a chance to make this right. Brody states that it's too dangerous for them to stay, especially as Iris, Felix and Will haven't been forthcoming. Brody produces Iris' CRM code books as proof, angering her as he had gone through her stuff. Brody reveals that it contains the locations of CRM supply drops and fuel depots, and he worries about what will happen if the CRM finds out about it. Felix insists that they won't with Will adding that, if their plan works, it won't just take some heat off of him but protect everyone at the Perimeter too. Will appeals to Indira to let them stay, but the argument is interrupted by the approach of CRM vehicles.
Indira orders Iris, Felix and Will to hide, although Will considers surrendering himself as the CRM only wants him. With Iris unable to retrieve her code books in time, Brody quickly covers them up. Brody warns Indira that if they don't hand them over, the Perimeter could lose everything, but Indira refuses to consider it as that isn't what their community is about. Elizabeth Kublek enters with two CRM soldiers and apologizes for her unannounced visit and explains to Indira and Brody that she's there because the CRM is looking into something. Elizabeth's attention is drawn to one of Indira's paintings on the wall near where Iris' code books are hidden, and Brody notices the wind blow the papers covering them up off. As Elizabeth reminisces about the painting that Indira had done of her daughter, Indira distracts her by asking about Jennifer whom Indira's people haven't seen in two years. Elizabeth tells Indira that Jennifer has just returned home from assignment and that it's a lot of responsibility to be entrusted with the well-being and survival of so many people.
Elizabeth explains that she has come because of a security issue: one of her soldiers had vanished not far from there the night before, worrying the hiding group. Elizabeth suggests that its someone at the research facility who is causing them trouble, not believing that anyone at the Perimeter would risk their agreement, but Indira claims that the Perimeter hasn't seen any new faces around. Citing the Perimeter's damaged wall, Elizabeth asks to be allowed to have her soldiers search the community to make sure that no one slipped in unnoticed, but Indira refuses, stating that the wall has been fixed and the Perimeter's lookouts do a fine job. Stating that you can never be too careful, Elizabeth has her soldiers search anyways. While admiring some of the paintings hanging up, Elizabeth unknowingly stands just a few feet from where Iris, Felix and Will are hiding. After a tense moment, Elizabeth receives a radio call that her men have eyes on their missing soldier in Watkins Glen and on Indira's silent nod, Brody takes the opportunity to hide the code books once again. Satisfied, Elizabeth leaves, apologizing to Indira for the intrusion and expressing a hope that they can talk more next time, much to everyone's relief.
"Exit Wounds"[]
When Hope and Huck arrive at the Perimeter, Indira comes out to greet them.
"Family Is a Four Letter Word"[]
Indira greets Huck and Hope at the Perimeter. Indira notes that it's been quite some time since Huck last visited them and she asks what has brought her out so far. Hope notices Iris standing nearby and the two are reunited. Iris can't believe that Hope is there and asks if their father is with her, but Hope reveals that it's just them and Huck had to sneak her out. Hope reassures her sister that it's fine as Felix joins them and Hope hugs him as well. Huck comments that it's just like old times while Felix glares at her over Hope's shoulder.
Indira hopes that Huck isn't bringing them trouble, but Huck reassures Indira that she's not and that her mother doesn't know that she's there and she won't. As a gesture of good faith, Huck hands over her rifle to one of the Perimeter's guards as Felix hands in his S-Pole as well. Huck explains that she just wants to talk to Iris and Felix alone and Indira reminds Huck that the Perimeter hasn't seen bloodshed since its founding, and she wants to keep it that way. Both Felix and Huck agree, and Indira leaves them alone.
Near sunrise, Indira stands with Asha, watching as Hope says goodbye to her friends and leaves with Huck.
Later, Asha secretly gives her mother dialysis for her kidney failure. Indira worries that they could lose everything if Elton tells anyone Indira's secret. Asha reassures her mother that Elton won't tell anyone as Asha had lied to him that she was the one who was sick, not Indira. Indira takes her daughter's hand.
"Quatervois"[]
Indira is surprised to learn that the Endlings' plan is to turn themselves in. Iris clarifies that it's just her and Felix and Dev asks about Elton and Percy. Elton explains that they're not the CRM's priority and it's better if they stay on the outside, although Percy is less than happy about it. Felix states that they are going to approach from the south so that it doesn't look like they crossed through the Perimeter's territory. Indira worries that a willing surrender may draw suspicion, but Asha suggests instead that they turn Iris and Felix in and make it look like the Perimeter caught them. Indira agrees that it would look less suspicious, and it would show the CRM that the Perimeter is honoring their agreement.
Iris is surprised that Indira would be willing to do that, but Indira is more worried about her friends: escaping will be dangerous and from what she saw, Hope wasn't too eager to leave. However, Will tells her that that was before Hope knew the truth and Iris adds that Hope is her sister and she'll leave. Will adds that once they're out, they'll pick up him, Elton and Percy a mile west of the Perimeter. The Endlings will lay low - possibly at the underground mall near Cornell that Dev had mentioned to them - and then once things blow over, they'll head west. Indira warns them that things don't just blow over with the CRM and they'll be all alone if they need help on the inside. Percy reveals that he and Will have found a way to get a message out if the plan changes through a dead drop. The Perimeter's supplies come in late in the day on the first Wednesday of every month which is the next day.
Walking outside together, Elton suggests to Asha that if this plan works, the Perimeter will finally have the Endlings out of their hair. However, Asha tells him that it hasn't been so bad having them in their hair and he'll get to see Hope. Indira checks with Will that he's sure that this is what he wants to do knowing what he could lose, but Felix tells her that it's the CRM's turn to lose and Felix intends to make damn sure that they do.
That night, as Iris, Felix, Indira and Dev prepare for departure in a wagon, Percy approaches Iris, asking if she's sure that he can't come with her and help her escape from the inside as he's good at getting out of places. Percy suggests that he can pretend to be someone else, but Iris tells him that they can't risk it. Promising to see Percy on the other side, Iris kisses him goodbye and Indira approaches to announce that it's time to go.
Shortly thereafter, Percy, now wearing Elton's jacket in order to disguise himself as his friend, rides a horse after the others. Iris and Felix are shocked by Percy's appearance and Indira warns him that they aren't far from the checkpoint, a patrol could arrive at any minute and Percy should go. Percy argues that with his skills as a grifter, he could be of great help to Iris and Felix on the inside. Felix warns Percy that if the CRM sees him, it could be over while Iris wonders if this about helping them or killing Huck. Percy admits that he wants Huck dead, but not like before, not by putting anyone else at risk. Felix is incredulous about Percy's plan to help by posing as Elton, but Percy tells Iris if she says yes, "I'll do whatever I gotta do. I'll kill a hundred of those assholes, I don't care. Whatever I gotta do to get you out safe." Iris wonders what happens to Percy then and he states that he'll finish what he set out to do, try to make it out and find Iris again. Felix apologizes to Percy, telling him that they can't risk this, but it's too late: the CRM are coming. Dev and Indira quickly move to bind and blindfold the group as CRM vehicles approach.
While processing the group's intake, Elizabeth Kublek notes that their story and Indira's matches up. Iris, Felix and Percy successfully manage to fool Elizabeth, claiming that Indira and her people had captured them and then turned them over to the CRM after they showed her people the map that Elizabeth had given Iris and Hope and said that they were looking for the research facility.
The next day, Asha tells Elton that Indira is not too thrilled about Percy's stunt. Elton admits that Will's not too thrilled that Elton let him go, but they've all got their choices to make. Percy's choice was to go while Elton's was to stay back with Will and someone who has only been honest with him and has made everything seem like a little bit less of a mess. Shaken by Elton's words and trust in her, Asha reveals that it's actually Indira who's sick, not Asha and she had lied to him. Asha did it to protect her mother's secret as some of the people at the Perimeter have different ideas about how it should be run. If Brody or anyone else found out that Indira had a private agreement with the CRM, it would be used against her, and Indira is the only thing keeping them together. Asha apologizes for her lies, and she asks Elton to promise her not to tell anyone. Concerned, Elton asks if Indira is going to be okay and Asha reassures him that she will be as long as Indira keeps getting what she needs from the CRM.
"Who Are You?"[]
Indira, Asha and Dev watch as CRM soldiers unload supplies for the Perimeter. While the soldiers are distracted, Indira and Asha keep watch as Dev discreetly unscrews a bolt in the CRM vehicle's bumper containing Iris' message for Will and Elton.
Dev gives Elton Iris' coded message from the dead drop. As Dev, Asha, Indira and Will watch, Elton decodes it and immediately becomes worried. Elton reveals that the others aren't leaving and Will snatches the message to read it for himself. Dev points out the others are supposed to get in, grab Hope and Leo and get out and wonders what else they could be doing. Angry, Will gives the message to Indira which reveals that the others intend to burn the research facility to the ground. "They're gonna start a war," Indira realizes.
As Dev and Asha watch, Indira presents the message to Brody, Robin and the rest of the Council. Indira suggests that the letter could mean anything, but Brody believes that it means exactly what it says, and they need to take immediate action to protect themselves. Brody wants to turn in Will and Elton and warn the CRM about the impending trouble that the Endlings intend to cause. Indira reminds Brody that she had helped the others infiltrate the research facility with the Council's backing and they gave them their word that they'd keep them safe. Brody tells Indira that she gave them her word that she'd keep the Perimeter safe, but Indira insists that they are safe and the CRM knows nothing about the Perimeter's involvement. Indira thinks that they have been living with the CRM's boots on their necks for so long that if the Endlings want to give the CRM some hell, why shouldn't they help them. Robin agrees that Indira has a point, and they need to pick a side. Stating that Robin's right and they do, Brody proposes a vote of no confidence in Indira. However, the vote fails, and Indira remains in charge of the Perimeter and allows Will and Elton to stay.
"Returning Point"[]
In a flashback to two years ago, Indira and her people build the globe sculpture outside of the research facility. Elizabeth approaches and admires their work, telling Indira that it's exactly the finishing touch that the facility needed. The CRM had asked them for something that would be a reminder of why they're there and what's at stake that will stand for generations to come, and the sculpture fills that role very well.
Indira thanks Elizabeth who notices that she looks upset, and Indira asks for Elizabeth's word that she will continue to honor the non-aggression pact that the CRM and the Perimeter had struck when the CRM first arrived after Indira is gone. Indira admits to a concerned Elizabeth that her kidneys are failing and Indira might not have much time left. Indira's mother had died of kidney failure when she was young and while Indira has been ignoring the signs for months, she's now at the point where she can't anymore. Elizabeth offers the services of the research facility's doctors, medicine and dialysis equipment, but Indira refuses to put her personal health over the best interests of her community. Elizabeth points out that Indira's survival is in the best interests of her community and promises her that she's not asking for anything in return. Indira wonders what Elizabeth has to gain and Elizabeth admits that it's peace of mind by sparing Indira and her family the ordeal that she and Huck had gone through when Elizabeth's husband had died. In addition, Elizabeth would be spared the uncertainty of dealing with whoever Indira's lesser successor would be. Elizabeth promises that they would be the only ones who needs to know about this and that there would be no strings attached and Indira accepts the deal.
In the present, a devastated Will returns to the Perimeter carrying Dev's spear. Based on the look on his face and Will's possession of Dev's spear, Indira and Asha realize that Dev is dead and break down in each other's arms as Elton, Will, Brody and the other residents watch.
In Indira's house, she stares at a picture of the globe sculpture outside of the research facility and Will tearfully explains that he hadn't wanted to leave Dev, but he knew that it would be bad if the CRM saw them together. However, the CRM might've seen them together and Will apologizes, blaming himself for Dev's death. However, Indira states that Dev was out there because of her. Indira explains that she was dying, and Elizabeth Kublek offered her treatment so that Indira could live. Indira was too selfish and too scared to let go of her life, community and children. Addressing Elton, Asha, Brody, Robin and the other gathered council members, Indira reveals that Dev had died helping her to get medicine so that Indira could hold onto things that she had no right to still be holding onto. Indira handed the CRM control of her life, and, because of that, the CRM took the life of her son and now they could lose everything.
Ignoring Will's attempts to comfort her, Indira tells the others that they need to assume that the CRM knows that her son trespassed and that the Perimeter's non-aggression pact with the CRM is nullified. Things are escalating and they all know what the CRM is capable of. It is no longer safe for anyone at the Perimeter, and they have to leave. Robin agrees that they will gather what they can carry and head to the waystation near Cornell and go from there. Indira orders him to let the others know and announces that she will step down as their leader once they get to safety. Furious, Brody storms out of the house without a word. Indira, Robin, the rest of the council and Will follow her, leaving Elton and Asha behind.
Loading up a wagon with Indira, Will tells her about a dream that he has of his future with Felix where they're older and have a beautiful family which is what Will lives for and everything that he does is in service of that dream. While that might Will selfish, he doesn't think that it makes him wrong. Will doesn't think that what Indira did to live for her family is wrong either. Will walks away, leaving Indira to ponder his words.
An alarmed Elton, Asha and Robin run up to Indira and Robin reveals that Brody had split off from the first caravan and headed east, ranting about making things right with the CRM. Three CRM vehicles arrive, carrying Sergeant Mills' team who round up the Perimeter residents aside from Will who manages to hide behind a house. Mills tells Indira that they took out a good sized piece of the Perimeter's wall on their way in, but they won't need it after today.
As everyone else kneels and Will observes from his hiding spot, Indira begs Mills to let her speak with Elizabeth. Contacting Mills, Jadis orders him to put her on with Indira. Indira pleads with Jadis to call off her soldiers and take Indira while letting her people live. Jadis admits that she's impressed with the globe sculpture that Elizabeth had commissioned from Indira years before, acknowledging that the kind of welding involved is tricky which Jadis knows personally. "I was like you once. Leading a community of artists, but they never really stood a chance, as yours don't now," Jadis reveals. Jadis believes that larger, more powerful communities overtake smaller ones and that it's become their responsibility to. The larger communities are ascendant because they've adapted and equipped themselves for survival not just through might, but by seeing the world for what it is and what it must be. While Indira's vision is lovely, it doesn't portray what is. Indira doesn't and can't see it which is why the CRM can't let her people live. Making Indira kneel, Mills reports that the hostiles are secured and his team is awaiting Jadis' orders. Huck objects that the Perimeter provides a valuable service to the CRM and are a resource, but Jadis orders Mills to kill everyone.
Will draws the gun that Dev gave him as Mills' squad assumes firing positions. Kneeling next to Asha, Elton sees a leaf float by on the breeze. Interlocking his pinkie with Asha's, Elton promises her that it's going to be alright. As the soldiers prepare to execute everyone, Will opens fire, wounding Mills before he runs out of bullets. As the soldiers fire at Will, Dennis suddenly opens fire, killing one and engaging in a firefight with the rest, joined by Silas, much to Elton's amazement, who kills two more soldiers. Dennis calls orders into his radio for the squad to fall back to the mill, confusing them and causing them to fall back. Crawling over to Mills and grabbing a CRM gun, Indira orders her people to arm themselves and find cover. As Elton, Asha and Robin take cover together, Mills draws his pistol and kills Robin, but Indira shoots him in the head from behind before he can kill Elton and Asha.
While Dennis continues to exchange fire with the soldiers, Perimeter residents arm themselves and try to join the fight with Elton grabbing a nearby crossbow. However, two of the residents are killed by the soldiers' gunfire. Silas grabs one of the soldier's rifles and, along with Indira, gives Dennis covering fire. With Silas and Indira's covering fire, Dennis is able to grab a grenade off of a dead soldier and he uses it to blow up the mill and the surviving CRM soldiers while Elton covers Asha from the blast.
In the aftermath, Indira and Asha embrace each other while Elton hugs Silas. Elton asks Silas how he and Dennis knew to come, but Silas explains that they didn't, they had been on their way to tell everyone about the plan. A confused Will asks what plan Silas is talking about and Silas explains that the others are escaping. Dennis orders Silas to get his friends and the supplies to the rendezvous and to be ready. Will asks what they need to be ready for and what the plan is before Dennis discovers that he's been shot in the side and severely wounded. Dennis falls to his knees as Silas rushes forward, worried about his friend.
"The Last Light"[]
On the road, the Endlings fight their way through a herd, but Hope tells the others that they're not far enough away from the culling facility yet and they need to move faster. More empties approach from the direction that they need to go in and as the three move to engage them, a CRM jeep pulls up. Initially worried, they're relieved to spot Asha in the passenger's seat. Manning the mounted machine gun, Indira orders Hope, Iris and Elton to get clear before gunning down the herd. Moments later, the C4 detonates, creating a green mushroom cloud that is visible for miles. With more empties approaching and the group not yet at a safe distance, Indira yells at them to hurry up and get in while Asha rushes to bring them gas masks. An empty emerges from the woods suddenly and nearly gets Hope, but Elton jumps in to protect her, getting bitten in the arm in the process. Looking at his bite wound in horror, Elton screams.
That night, Felix stands guard with a pair of binoculars outside of Dolsons. Walking inside, Felix approaches the cot where an unconscious Elton is laying with Asha at his side and Leo tending to him following the amputation of part of his left arm due to the bite. Leo leads Felix over to where Hope and Iris are standing and tells him that Elton's breathing shallow and has lost a lot of blood, maybe too much to survive. Leo suggests that they should secure Elton just in case he dies and Hope tells Felix that Elton had saved her life. Will calls Indira over and hands her two boxes of vials that were in Elton's bag which Elton had stolen from the research facility. Indira tells the others that it's the medicine that she needs to live with her kidney failure.
A few days later, Iris and several people prepare to depart for Portland while Hope, Indira, Felix, Will, and some of the others stay with Leo. Indira reassures Leo that Iris is in good hands with her people and vice versa as they watch Iris say goodbye to Felix and Will. Iris gives Will a map showing her route to Portland in case he needs to find her for any reason and Felix asks Iris to take care of herself to which Iris returns the sentiment, asking Felix and Will to take care of each other. Iris tearfully turns to her sister and Hope remembers how she said that they would save the world together. Hope still thinks that they could with Iris adding that they can even if they're not together anymore. "All this... it didn't change us. It just showed us that who we are is who we were," comments Iris. Hope and Iris hug each other and exchange I love yous before Iris begins to leave. Stopping Iris, Hope gives her a double middle finger, causing Leo and Indira to laugh. Hope tells her sister to "grin, girl" and Iris returns the middle finger with a laugh. Leo waves goodbye with Will blows Iris a kiss and she begins ascending the escalator out. Suddenly, Asha runs in with the news that Elton is awake, stopping Iris' departure. Elated by the news, everyone rushes to Elton's side.
