Gordon

Gordon is a character in The Walking Life. He is a member of the Saviors.

Early Life
Gordon was married to a woman named Maria and the two had a hard life due to many financial issues as well as other problems. Eventually they encountered the Saviors and were brought to live at the Sanctuary with the promise to be taken care of, joining their gang. At some point Maria died due to an illness and Gordon came to a realization that the Saviors' way of life is not worth it and thus would have rather wanted to leave them or die trying.

Escape Attempt and Death
One day, Gordon works in the garden taking care of the livestock and vegetables and kneels down with the others when Negan walks by. He stares at Dwight with a grim look on his face as he walks away, clearly unhappy with his life at the Sanctuary. Later, Gordon witnesses Gary, Roy and David beat another worker to death after he tried to steal some food and got violent.

In an act of desperation, Gordon fled the Sanctuary, prompting Negan to send Dwight after him. Gordon went into the city and returned to his former home, where he looked at a photo of Maria and him. Dwight finds Gordon in his house and holding him at gunpoint, he attempts to force Gordon to return to the Sanctuary with him however Gordon pleaded to let him go and refused. Eventually, Gordon begged Dwight to kill him rather than take him back to the Sanctuary. After Dwight threatened to kill everyone Gordon knew and to feed his wife's corpse to the crows, Gordon reluctantly agreed to come back however, instead, Dwight shot Gordon in the chest and killed him as a way to free him. His corpse is then brought to the Sanctuary and put on display along with all the other Saviors' victims. Dwight later looks out at Gordon's corpse for a minute before walking back inside the factory.
