Rick Grimes is the central protagonist of the TV show The Walking Dead, first appearing in the episode "Days Gone Bye".

Prior to the zombie apocalypse, Rick was a sheriff's deputy in a small Georgia town. He is a natural leader, possessing a strong moral compass, though the hardships of the new world constantly challenge his ideals.

Throughout the series, Rick struggles to protect his family and group of survivors, often making difficult choices that blur the lines between right and wrong. He grapples with the constant threat of both the undead and other hostile groups of survivors, leading to periods of intense violence and internal conflict.

Rick's primary goal is to create a safe and sustainable future for his son, Carl, and the rest of his community. His character undergoes significant transformation, evolving from a lawman dedicated to order to a hardened survivor willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival.
