The Walking Dead[]
Dexter was a large and imposing black man who lived in the U.S. state of Georgia. During the time of the initial zombie outbreak, he was serving time in prison, and as such, was part of a small group of prisoners to actually survive the infection. Dexter, and his fellow inmates Andrew, Axel and Thomas, found themselves forced to share their prison sanctuary with a new group of survivors led by Rick Grimes. Dexter quickly found Rick as a rival and threat to his station, and Rick deduced that Dexter was not one to be trusted. Dexter was responsible for squirreling away weapons inside of A-Block, and ultimately used them as part of a plan to oust Rick and the others out of the prison. As the two groups were about to come to a head, a horde of walkers burst into the area, and the two groups were forced to temporarily set aside their differences and join forces to combat the zombies. Rick saved Dexter from nearly being bitten - an act that Dexter personally felt was foolish. During the chaos, Rick decided to put things to an end once and for all and shot Dexter through the side of the head. Tyreese was the only one who bore witness to this murder.
