Biography[]
TV series[]
Kal was a male of Asian descent, who resided at the Hilltop Colony in Virginia. He was part of the security detail that manned the walls monitoring the community, along with Eduardo. He used a wooden stake with sharpened metal attachment as his preferred weapon of choice.
When Rick Grimes and his group first came to Hilltop, an altercation took place which led to the death of a man named Ethan and Hilltop's leader, Gregory, being seriously injured. After Rick killed Ethan in self defense, other members of the community circled around him, including Kal. He was part of a stand-off, which included members of Rick's group. [4]
Later, when Maggie Greene and Sasha Williams came to Hilltop, Kal was one of the residents who had to fight off some walkers that had been allowed inside by the Saviors. [5]
Right before Simon and his group came to Hilltop to collect Harlan Carson, Kal brought a bottle of gin to Gregory. [6]
Kal and the others were returning to Hilltop when they saw a distraught Gregory covered in blood. Maggie told them that he had just killed his first walker (even though it was Maggie who actually killed it). Later, Gregory called Kal into his office and told him that he needed him to drive him somewhere. [7]
