Carl Grimes is the former deuteragonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is the son of Rick and Lori Grimes and the half-brother of Judith Grimes and R.J. Grimes. During the initial outbreak, Carl believed his father to be dead, so he and his mother joined Shane Walsh to travel to Atlanta to the refugee camp.
As time progresses, Carl slowly becomes hardened due to the severe loss of life and the environment around him. He has shown to be more than willing to assist and protect the people he cares about, especially Michonne Hawthorne, another survivor who he regards as a mother figure and his best friend. After reaching the Alexandria Safe Zone he forms a friendship with fellow teenage survivor Enid. This friendship eventually blossoms into a relationship, though it becomes somewhat strained and uncertain after Enid's relocation to the Hilltop Colony.
King County, Georgia
Carl was born in 1998 and grew up in King County, where he experienced an average childhood raised by his father, Rick Grimes (a sheriff deputy) alongside his mother Lori (a housewife). The three lived together as a typical family in a single-story house in King County, Georgia. He also befriended his father's closest friend, Shane Walsh. When Carl was 3 years old, Rick took him on a walk to Ross' farm, where Carl became grateful for the safety and happiness his father provided him. When Carl was in the third grade, he had a best friend whom was allergic to dairy products and thus brought in soy-based meals for lunchtime; one day Carl tasted his friend's milk and almost vomited (which became a humorous memory for him). As he grew, he developed a keen interest in playing video games and reading comic books. Over time however, his parents' marriage became increasingly strained due to their marital issues and Carl was often in the presence of his parents quarrels, where one day, Carl witnessed Lori questioning if Rick truly cared about his family, an incident which affected Carl to a degree.

While bringing Siddiq to Alexandria, Carl and Siddiq fight a pack of walkers. In the scuffle, Siddiq knocks into Carl by accident, resulting in him tripping and being bitten on the abdomen by a walker. He initially conceals the bite until the Saviors' attack on Alexandria, where he reveals it to the others while hiding in the sewers.
Ultimately, as he approaches death, Carl chooses to commit suicide rather than forcing Rick or Michonne to put him down before reanimation. Later, as Rick and Michonne are outside the church, Carl shoots himself in the head.
