The Walking Dead[]
Ken was a Caucasian male in his apparent early thirties and a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. In the years following the fall of society, he was living in the U.S. state of Virginia, and became a resident of a community known as Hilltop Colony. Ken served as a scout, along with another man named Marco. Ken and Marco went out and discovered several horses. Ken tried to wrangle the horses, but in his exuberance, drove them through a herd of walkers, which nearly resulted in Ken's death as the horse he had been riding collapsed on top of him. Marco managed to pull him out and place him atop his own horse and escaped, but Ken was gravely injured. As they rode back towards Hilltop, Ken grew ill and fell from the horse. Marco brought him to a barn and left him there to rest while he returned to Hilltop. Ken was discovered by a group called the Whisperers, who used him as a bargaining tool with Hilltop in order to trade back one of their own captured members, Lydia, who was the daughter of Whisperer leader Alpha. Sometime later, Ken was one of several community members who was killed and beheaded by the Whisperers. His zombified head (along with many others) was discovered upon a pike on the edge of Whisperer territory. He was put down by members of the group that came upon him.
