Michel Codron is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. He is a soldier for Power of the Living and the brother of Stéphane.
Overview[]
Michel is an aggressive individual who is willing to resort to violence with little provocation. Upon encountering Daryl, Maribelle, and Guillaume, Michel immediately draws his weapon on them despite them doing nothing to him first. Furthermore, he is also vengeful, since as soon as Daryl killed Henri, he picked up Henri's gun to kill Daryl instead of using his.
Stéphane later tells Laurent that Michel was not a bad person, he was just driven by fear. Laurent suggests that Michel's fear drove him to do bad things which Stéphane regrets not protecting his brother from.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
France[]
Nothing is known about Michel's life before or as the outbreak began, except that he had a brother.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Paris, Île-de-France[]
At some point following the outbreak, Michel became a soldier for a political movement called Power of the Living, alongside his brother.
Season 1[]
"L'âme Perdue"[]
A jeep arrives with Henri and Michel, who force Daryl to disarm himself and sit down. After a heated exchange, Michel grabs Maribelle and begins dragging her away. Daryl kills Henri, causing Michel to shoot at Daryl, slightly grazing his neck. As Michel prepares to shoot Daryl, Maribelle hits him from behind with Henri's spear, subduing him. Before Daryl can shoot the man, Maribelle tells him to save the powder and impales Michel in the chest with the spear.
Later, Stéphane forces Maribelle to show her where she saw Michel. At the farm, a zombified Michel emerges from a doorway with the spear still in his chest. Pulling his brother close by the spear, Stéphane stabs Michel in the head with the bayonet on his pistol. Cradling his brother's body, Stéphane breaks down in tears. Stéphane demands to know who did it, and Maribelle tells him that it was an American. Martin finds tracks of blood and one of Isabelle's God loves you signs, which Philippe recognizes, leading them to visit the abbey.
Season 2[]
"Au Revoir Les Enfants"[]
Stéphane offers Daryl his condolences about Isabelle's death and tells Daryl about his brother Michel, reminiscing about how he would tease his brother about his name. Stéphane sadly notes how hard it was to finish his zombified brother off, stating that in a way you're putting an end to a part of yourself, something that Daryl can sympathize with from personal experience. Stéphane asks what happened when Daryl killed Michel, and Daryl finally reveals that "I didn't kill him. That girl beat me to it. A skinny girl on the road. She was with some old guy who, uh... He tricked me into thinking he was blind." Stéphane is shocked by this revelation as Maribelle had told him that it was Daryl, but Daryl points out that Maribelle would never have told him the truth. Realizing that Daryl is telling the truth, Stéphane is left horrified by the things that he did in the name of revenge on the wrong person because of Maribelle's lies and Daryl guesses that the girl was a pretty good liar.
In the Chunnel, as he draws his flintlock pistol on a walker, Stéphane hallucinates it as the weapon that killed his brother and the walker as Michel. Finishing off the last of the walkers, Daryl spots his friend in trouble and takes the walker out with his morning star and stabs it in the head, appearing to Stéphane as if Daryl had just killed his brother again. Caught up in his hallucination, Stéphane furiously tackles Daryl to the ground and the two men fight. Stéphane manages to stab Daryl in the shoulder with his bayonet and Daryl tries to snap the other man out of it. After a moment's hesitation, Stéphane hallucinates his brother again and runs off down the tunnel after Michel.
