Ezekiel

The Walking Dead
Ezekiel was once a zookeeper as well as student of theater in the years prior to the zombie holocaust. When civilization fell apart, he saved a tiger from the zoo named Shiva. Through charm and guile and a penchant for playing up the more aloof and theatrical side of his personality, Ezekiel found himself as the leader of a community of survivors in Virginia. Proclaiming himself "King Ezekiel", he dubbed his area The Kingdom.

Ezekiel is the leader of The Kingdom, a religious-based community were its' runners were responsible for the rescue of Morgan Jones and an injured Carol Peletier. Introduced in the seventh season episode "The Well, Ezekiel is revealed to be a former zookeeper and is shown to be a wise and charismatic leader. Ezekiel also owns a pet tiger named Shiva, who he had helped nurse back to help after an injury during his time as a zookeeper and had later rescued again once the apocalypse began. Ezekiel and The Kingdom, much like the Hilltop, are in business with the Saviors who they are selling pigs to (with the Saviors, however, unaware that the Kingdom has been feeding the pigs walker meat in hopes of sickening them.)
