Lee Everett

Lee Everett is the protagonist of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season One game.

Convicted for murdering a state senator who slept with his wife, Lee is freed from this fate by the apocalypse and encounters a young girl named Clementine. He took Clementine under his care, and the two met up with a group of survivors. Lee rose up to protect them, becoming co-leader with Kenny and Lilly before becoming the sole leader of the group. Lee's personality is, to some extent, up to the player, but he is consistently smart, independent and resourceful. Lee also cared deeply for Clementine. It was because of Lee that Clementine learned how to defend herself from both people and the undead in the apocalypse.

Personality
Lee's personality is determined by the player's choices. He can be idealistic and helpful to others, or the opposite. However, he has shown to be smart and very caring about Clementine's well being, eventually giving his life for her. Lee seems to be a kind person in Clementine's flashback dream sequence in Season Two regardless of the player's choices.

Abilities
Lee is an action survivor, he is quite good in using various weapons in fighting.

Trivia

 * In a Q&A with Jake Rodkin and Harrison Pink, lead designer, and designer of "Long Road Ahead", it was stated that the prison Lee was being transported to in the beginning of the game is in fact the same prison that the survivors stay at in the comic, Meriwether County Correctional Facility.

 * Having appeared alive (not including dreams or flashbacks) in a total of 5 episodes, the same as Luke, Javi, Gabe, Kate, David, Eleanor, Tripp (Determinant), and Conrad (Determinant) makes him tied 3rd for total amount of appearances.
