However, he has a change of heart and releases her, instead opting to take on the group of Woodbury soldiers who had been planning an ambush. He later attempts to fulfill the potential deal made by the Governor and Rick, which was an exchange of Michonne for peace between the two groups. He is even shown to be searching for some forgiveness from those of the group who he had once wronged such as Michonne. ![]() This causes Merle to examine his past mistakes and reevaluate himself. Merle realized that he had to coexist with the prison group and that not doing so would damage his relationship with Daryl. It became apparent that between the Governor and Daryl, Merle was always loyal to his brother and knowingly discarded any chance of becoming a part of Woodbury again when he saw a chance to reunite himself with Daryl.Īfter joining the prison group, his personality began to slightly change, appearing to lose some of his violent and racist tendencies. Merle escaped Woodbury alongside Daryl with aid from Rick and Maggie. However, Merle was still not completely incapable of empathy, as he offered his condolences to Andrea over the death of her sister, Amy.Īfter the prison group came to the rescue of Glenn and Maggie, Merle was then branded as a traitor and a terrorist by the Governor for lying about killing Michonne which cost the Governor his eye and zombified daughter, and became an enemy of Woodbury. When he later comes across Glenn and Maggie Greene and kidnaps and takes them back to Woodbury as prisoners, his crueler side is shown as he brutally interrogates Glenn and almost kills him for information on the location of his brother and their camp. While he was staying in Woodbury, Merle read many books, including the Bible, and even memorized verses of the Bible, showing that he is intelligent, and also possibly religious. Though the Governor and Merle were allies, it seemed that Merle feared him to an extent and no doubt had issues with his authority looming over him at all times. During this time he devolved into a ruthless killer who followed the Governor's lead without question, all the while striving to find his brother and take vengeance on Rick and T-Dog, who left him for dead on the roof in Atlanta. He also showed his fighting abilities when he took down Martinez in the brutal battle-royal event in Woodbury, and was able to fend off Michonne's sword attacks with his hand-blade.Īfter being left behind in Atlanta, Merle was found by the Governor and eventually became his right-hand man and a key member of the Woodbury Army. He is an experienced bruiser, showcased in the first season when he dominated T-Dog in a fist-fight, and at the same time was able to fend off Rick Grimes, Morales, and Glenn Rhee simultaneously. He is deadly with firearms, and in the third season, his hand-blade attachment proves to be one of his deadliest weapons. Much like his younger brother, Merle is an expert tracker and hunter. ![]() However, Merle is also extremely humorous in nature and is a thrill seeker, who gets joy by mentally and emotionally toying with others. ![]() A seemingly stereotypical Southern redneck, Merle is boorish, surly, abrasive, combustible, violent, racist, misogynistic, volatile, extremely ill-tempered and quick to express his beliefs.
