Biography
Rick Grimes was a police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky. During a shoot-out with an escaped convict, Rick was shot in the shoulder and rushed to the hospital. He awakened several weeks later, only to discover that the entire world had been taken over by zombies. Escaping from the hospital, Rick made it back to his house only to find that his wife and child were missing. At this time, he met a fellow survivor named Morgan Jones and his young son Duane. Morgan gave Rick some tips on how to deal with zombies and Rick told him that he needed to drive to Atlanta in the hopes that his wife and son may have taken shelter with her family.

He made it to Atlanta the following day, but lost the use of his cruiser as well as a horse he had found. While avoiding a horde of zombies at a city cross-section, Rick came upon a young Asian boy named Glenn Rhee, who helped him to escape unscathed. Glenn brought him to the outskirts of the city where he introduced him to several survivors living inside a camper. Rick was overjoyed to discover that two of the survivors were his wife Lori and his son Carl.
