The Walking Dead

Morgan Jones is a prominent character in AMC's TV series, *The Walking Dead*, first appearing in the pilot episode, "Days Gone Bye" (2010). Initially, he's portrayed as a grief-stricken father living with his son, Duane, struggling to survive in a world overrun by walkers. He guides Rick Grimes upon Rick's awakening from a coma, explaining the zombie apocalypse and offering crucial early support.

Later appearances reveal a character deeply affected by trauma and loss. Morgan grapples with severe PTSD, oscillating between periods of pacifism and violent outbursts as he struggles to retain his sanity. His journey is marked by a philosophical shift towards "All Life is Precious," a mantra that shapes his actions and interactions with others, even as he faces constant threats.

Over the course of several seasons, Morgan evolves significantly. He becomes a skilled martial artist under the tutelage of Eastman, and integrates into Rick's group, later even leading characters onto *Fear The Walking Dead*.
