Zachary is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a member of the Kingdom and an uncertain ally of Rick Grimes. Having high respect for their former leader Ezekiel, Zachary now acts as an adviser to de-facto leader William, whose choices he is wary about in regards to helping the other communities.
Overview[]
Zachary is a well-intentioned man who will do what he thinks is best for the Kingdom, but is extremely pragmatic and wary, leading him to make choices that may come off as selfish. When William is asked to send the Kingdom soldiers to help with the Whisperer war, Zachary argues that Rick never help the Kingdom when they needed it. Zachary has a great respect for their fallen leader, Ezekiel, but his judgement on what he would've wanted is clouded, as he thinks Ezekiel wouldn't want to help the other communities despite that most definitely not being the case. Zachary even threatens William when he thinks he is not making good decisions. However, when William threatens to kill Zachary by holding him at knifepoint, he begs for his life, showing himself to be somewhat cowardly.

Location Unknown[]
Nothing is known about Zachary's life prior to or as the outbreak began.
Post-Apocalypse[]
The Whisperer War[]
Zachary is seen arguing with William about who should lead the Kingdom. He notes that Rick didn't help the Kingdom when they needed help the most and that he is sending "Michonne, the person who broke Ezekiel's heart". He says they shouldn't send reinforcements to Alexandria or let Michonne lead, but that William should lead himself. He says that Ezekiel wouldn't have bent to Alexandria, stirring William to rethink the situation.
Zachary is then shown to be an adviser to William. The de-facto leader relieves another guard after he gives status on patrols. Zachary asks what the point is when all their best troops have been sent out to help the militia, noting they are "practically defenseless". William, irritated, tells Zachary to leave, threatening to send him out to fight. As he leaves, Zachary states William will regret his decisions, though he denies that he will. William attacks and threatens Zachary saying he will do anything to keep the Kingdom safe including killing him.
