Morgan Jones

Morgan Jones is a main character, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead with his son Duane Jones.

He and his son Duane are the first people met by Rick post-outbreak, while also being responsible for filling him in the details how to survive in the new world.

Morgan and Duane hid in various houses in the Cynthiana area, attempting to ride out the apocalypse. They stay behind as Rick leaves to find his wife and son.

Cynthiana, Kentucky
Nothing is known about Morgan's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He may have lived in or near Cynthiana. He had a wife and a son.

Days Gone Bye
As a delirious Rick Grimes mopes about in his neighborhood, Morgan sees a roamer in the street, and shoots it in the head. Duane, his son, hits Rick in the back of the head with a shovel, and Morgan hurries over to question him. He passes out, and they take him into the house they're staying at to care for him. He eventually explains the current situation to a confused Rick.

After talking, Rick, Morgan, and Duane go to the police station where Rick worked. Rick gives Morgan some guns and a car, and Morgan tells Duane he plans to teach him how to use a gun, because he's old enough. Morgan and Duane plan on staying in the small town, for a few more days, before heading out to Atlanta. He is last seen breaking down as he attempted to put down his wife.

Duane Jones
Morgan is shown to be very protective of his son, and cares for him deeply.

Jenny Jones
Morgan was Jenny's husband and he loved her dearly. At the start of the outbreak, after Jenny died and eventually reanimated, Morgan could never bring himself to kill her. Torn between putting her down to let her finally rest in peace, and having a false idea of her still "alive" in the world, Morgan eventually gets a sniper rifle; with a picture of Jenny on the window, he shoots the walkers on the street. But after taking aim at his dead zombie wife's head for several long moments, he is unable to pull the trigger and eventually breaks down in tears.

Rick Grimes
Morgan and Rick formed a quick friendship shortly after the former informed the latter of the then current situation. Being the only friendly person he has revealed to have encountered.
