Biography[]
Arnold Greene was a member of the Greene family of rural Georgia and lived on the Greene farm. He was the second oldest son of Hershel Greene. His mother's name is unknown. He had numerous half-siblings including four sisters named Maggie, Lacey, Susie, and Rachel, and two brothers named Billy, and Shawn. Shawn was the first member of the family to fall victim to the zombie infection and was secured in a barn on the family's estate.
In the months following the zombie apocalypse, Arnold and the other members of the family continued their work as farm hands, but also rounded up various walkers and kept them isolated inside of the barn. Arnold Greene was present when a group of roving survivors, led by Rick Grimes, came to the Greene farm looking for a place to stay. Arnold kept silent as his father, Hershel, brokered a deal with Rick and his group. [1]
After a session of target practice, Hershel Greene discovered a zombie and tried to herd it into the barn. A larger walker emerged from behind the door, forcing it open, allowing the other walkers to begin spilling out. Arnold and Lacey Greene climbed across the hayloft hoping to distract the other zombies, but Arnold was bitten on the neck by the zombified form of his late brother, Shawn. Lacey was distracted just long enough for a throng of walkers to converge upon her, devouring her. After the remaining undead were done away with, Hershel put Arnold down before he could reanimate. Arnold and Lacey were both buried on a patch of land on the Greene estate and a small funeral service was held for them. [2]
