Overview
Isaac is a brave, caring, determined, and astute man. When he first meets Morgan, he tries to help with his wound despite Morgan declining. When asked by Emile if he has seen Morgan, Isaac doesn't give in and even denies seeing him. It is later revealed that Isaac had been separated from his wife, who is about to have a child and is desperate to get back to her. He is shown to go to great lengths to get to her, including threatening Morgan with a pistol unless he helps him. Though he is apologetic for this action. Later on, he refuses to leave Morgan behind when Emile attacks the water tower and continuously pursues the two of them while on their way to the valley. Eventually, he reunites with his wife, Rachel. Unfortunately, Isaac is bitten by a walker in his stomach. Before his death, he saved Morgan's life from Emile. Despite his own death, Isaac's legacy lives on with his daughter, whom they named after Morgan, who is also the person taking care of her.
Pre-Apocalypse
Texas
Nothing is known about Isaac's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he grew up in Texas and was a corpsman for the Marines at one point, and through here, it's likely that he gained some medical experience. He also had a wife named Rachel.
Post-Apocalypse
Texas
At some point in the apocalypse, Isaac and his wife, Rachel, joined the Pioneers, though the two eventually left for the better interest of their unborn daughter.
Season 6
"The End Is the Beginning"
Isaac is first seen killing multiple walkers with a knife. As he is about to kill Morgan, mistaking him for a walker, Morgan stops him. Isaac questions why the walkers ignored Morgan, and then helps him inside a small store, where he would start examining his wound. However, a man arrives at the front door, asking about Morgan's location and his whereabouts. Isaac recognizes the man as Emile, a bounty hunter Virginia has hired on other occasions. He denies seeing Morgan, yet is unable to stop Emile from entering and searching. Seeing that he is gone, Isaac finds Morgan outside and carries him all the way to a water tower after seeing coordinates written on his bag.
Isaac and Morgan take refuge in the water tower. Isaac asks Morgan for assistance in helping get to his wife, though, when rejected, Isaac desperately draws a gun on Morgan, until the tower is unexpectedly pulled down by Emile with his truck. Isaac exits the tower and sees Morgan aim the gun at Emile, telling Morgan to shoot him. After Morgan shoots him in the arm, Isaac and Morgan drive away in his truck.
Isaac and Morgan arrive at the valley where his wife is currently staying, and the two start observing a group of walkers from the hill above. Morgan decides to help Isaac and proceeds through the crowd of walkers, eventually falling and being noticed by one. Before being bitten, Isaac uses the last bullet in the gun to kill the walker, and the two begin to take them all down. The two make it through the dam and into the dried-up lake, finding Rachel nearing her own labor. At night, as Rachel is about to give birth, Emile arrives, and Morgan insists that Isaac stay out of the way to allow him to be killed so that they can begin a community in the valley. Before Morgan is able to be killed, Isaac stabs Emile, but is overpowered. Morgan assists Isaac and briefly knocks out Emile, where Isaac reveals to Morgan that he was bitten by a walker before meeting him. Emile soon gets back up and continues his fight, overpowering Isaac and almost killing Morgan until he is stabbed and decapitated.
Hearing that his child has been born, Isaac is urged by Morgan to meet them. When Morgan passes out, Isaac names his child Morgan with Rachel. Later in the night, he removes the bullet and dead tissue from Morgan's wound, patches him up, and eventually gives in to the infection, being put down by Rachel. When Morgan wakes, he learns that Isaac has died and helps bury him.
