Lee Everett

Lee Everett is one of the protagonists of Telltale's The Walking Dead video game series, debuting as the playable main protagonist of the first season. Tasked with protecting a girl named Clementine in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, Lee allies with several other characters and groups. When creating Lee, the developers attempted to achieve realism, with a strong emphasis on him being a parental figure to Clementine. He is voiced by Dave Fennoy, an American voice actor. He received a positive reception for his role in the game, specifically the voice work and the writing. Fennoy was nominated for Best Performance by a Human Male at the Spike VGA. Appearances Prior to the events of the game, Lee, a native of Macon, was a history professor at the University of Georgia. One day, on his way to work, he fell ill and came home to find his wife sleeping with another man, a state senator, after constant fighting with his wife about travelling often for her job. In a fit of rage, Lee unintentionally killed him. He was subsequently tried and convicted for murder. His crime also distanced him from his parents and brother. Lee was sentenced to life imprisonment for the senator's murder, and was ordered to be sent to Meriwether County Correctional Facility to start serving his life sentence. The onset of the zombie apocalypse occurs as Lee is being taken to prison to begin serving his life sentence. While Lee was having a conversation with the police officer escorting him to prison, the police car transporting him to prison crashes into a zombie, and he manages to escape after killing the officer who attacked him after being zombified, but he quickly realizes the dire situation he is in. He takes shelter in a nearby suburban home, where he finds young Clementine who has been hiding from the zombies as her parents had left for Savannah some time before the apocalypse. Recognizing that Clementine would remain in danger, he offers to take and protect her, hoping that they will be able to find her parents. He eventually goes with her to the Hershel Greene farm, where they meet a fisherman named Kenny, his wife, Katjaa, and son, Duck. After an accident with walkers claims the life of Hershel's son, Shawn, the five are thrown out and eventually meet with other survivors, and form a small group, though Lee remains subdued about his history.
