Sorry, Ma'am. This is Commonwealth protocol. We can't allow people of your stature to be traveling between communities unprotected.
―Jerome to Michonne.[src]

Jerome is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a Commonwealth soldier.

Overview[]

Jerome is generally a kind and caring soldier. He is very friendly when interacting with Michonne and engages in some playful banter with her. However, in one instance it is shown he can be very brutal and violent, seen when he beats Anthony Keith to death with his fellow soldiers. When Michonne recognizes Jerome as one of the soldiers beating on Anthony, he appears to be very guilty and ashamed. After riots break out due to Anthony's death, Michonne is attacked by rioters due to having to defend Jerome and the other soldier's actions. Jerome attempts to redeem himself by saving Michonne. He is even willing to sacrifice his life for her, as he uses his body to shield her, taking critical hits in the process.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Jerome's life prior to or as the outbreak began. It is possible that he had some military or police experience.

Post-Apocalypse[]

At some point, Jerome made his way to the Commonwealth and joined the Commonwealth Army.

The Rotten Core[]

Jerome escorts Michonne and Elodie to Greenville. On the way, they run into some roamers and Jerome goes to dispatch them. As more emerge from the woods, however, he is quickly overwhelmed but is saved by Michonne. From there, they make it to Greenville with no further incident.

Jerome later participates in the beating of Anthony Keith and seems to be stunned when Michonne recognizes him.

When rioters break into Michonne's apartment, Jerome holds them off while she and her daughter flee. The rioters start beating Jerome viciously, when Michonne comes back and tries to break up the fight. The rioters attack her instead, but Jerome throws himself on her to shield her from the blows. He is put in critical condition.

Rest In Peace[]

He appears alongside his fellow soldiers as Mercer plots against Pamela and her friends.

Jerome is not seen or mentioned in the 25 year time-skip, leaving his fate unknown.

Killed Victims[]

This list shows the victims Jerome has killed:

  • Anthony Keith (Alongside his fellow Commonwealth soldiers)
  • Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people
