John Fairbanks is a survivor of the outbreak in Telltale's The Walking Dead: Michonne. He is the father of Greg, Samantha, Alex, and James. He is said to be less trusting towards others after his wife's death.
Overview[]
John is a strict, stern, but wise and caring father. He cares for his children's safety greatly and it's said that he has protected them since the start of the outbreak. He is horrified to see a wounded Samantha and is devastated to hear of his Greg's death. He has had to deal with much grief and loss, such as the death of his wife and now one of his sons. However, he still pushes forward for his remaining children, seeing that he is all they have. However, he shot by Randall shortly after this.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Chesapeake Bay, Virginia[]
John studied Law at the University of Virginia, working as a house keeper to pay his through it. He eventually graduated and became a well-off lawyer before the apocalypse. He had a wife, Sophia, and four children, Greg, Samantha, Alex and James. He lived in a large house, and sometime during the apocalypse, barred up the gate and made it a safe haven.
Sometime during the apocalypse, his wife committed suicide, whom he and Sam then buried. Due to the way she died, he didn't tell the younger children how she died, meaning they never gave her a formal funeral.

Quotes[]
The following is a list of some of John's most memorable quotes.
Michonne"Get away from her! What are you doing to my daughter?! (…) With that? Are you insane?! You're going to kill her!" "Is... is she going to make it? I can't lose her. I can't. My poor Samantha..." "Tell me. What happened? You appear out of nowhere with my daughter nearly bleeding to death. (…) When Sam wakes up, we'll see what really happened. Look at me. I don't know who the hell you are, but--" "Enough! There's no decision to be made on this." "It snowed the day my wife died. (touches grave) Her heart gave out. Sam found her, she... she passed in her sleep. We buried her so the boys wouldn't have to see her like that. The snow, it... it covered her grave, erased it, like she'd never been there at all. (…) I... I didn't want my children to think of their mother differently. To wonder why she'd given up. Ever since Sophia... I've tried to keep our family from harm. But we're falling apart piece by piece. And now that Sam's hurt and Greg's... I could really use your help." "Your friend Pete told me all about Norma. About what happened. If she finds us, we wouldn't stand a chance. But you seem like someone who can hold their own." "These kids deserve a real childhood. Someplace where fear isn't the norm. If I can give them even a sliver of that, I'll die happy." "Greg... never turned into one of these things... Did he? Those... Whatever they are. ("He did turn") My boy... I should have never let him leave." "I... I'm sorry. I'm trying to keep it together. But you have no idea what it's like to lose a child. I gave everything for that boy! Everything! And now he's gone! You don't know how that feels." "But what if you just found out your daughters were dead? And you weren't there. You were miles away, safe and sound. How would you feel? What's left of my family, that's what I'm living for." "I was wrong about you! You and your friend! Now--" "You... you're right. I'm all they have." "You'd feel like you failed them." |
