Planet of the Apes[]
George Taylor was a male human born some time in the 1920s or 30s. Very little is known of Taylor's youth aside from the fact that he attended elementary school in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As an adult, Taylor grew embittered with the world around him. He despised his fellow man, and felt that they were capable of little more than waging war against one another. This inborn cynicism may have influenced his decision to join the ANSA program.
As a scientist and astronaut, Taylor achieved the rank of Colonel and was placed in charge of a special mission aboard the exploratory vessel, the Icarus. It was his hope that the universe contained life on other planets – life that was superior to that found on Earth.
Launching from Cape Kennedy in 1972, Taylor's crew, which consisted of fellow astronauts, Dodge, Stewart and Landon, traveled into the reaches of deep space. Their mission was to test out a theory developed by scientist Otto Hasslein with regards to a vessel traveling beyond the speed of light. Six months into their mission, the crew placed themselves into a state of suspended animation. Taylor administered a special drug to keep them sedated, and then confined them all to special stasis pods aboard the Icarus.
The Walking Dead[]
Taylor was a human survivor of the zombie apocalypse. A relatively young man, he resided in a colony in Washington, D.C. known as The Kingdom. Taylor reported to King William and told him about a herd of roamers nearby, unaware that these were actually the Whisperers.
