Ryan Lee

Ryan Lee is one of the few Survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse who has survived since Day 1 of the outbreak.

Information
He survived day 1 of the outbreak due to his knowledge of Zombies. He knew how to take them out, and he seemed pretty desperate to survive. He met up with his best friend, Caleb Meyerhoff, who he later found as a Zombie. Since Caleb's death, Ryan has become desperate to keep those he cares about alive.

History
Ryan was surviving the Zombie Apocalypse with a survivor named Ken. However, after Ken was killed by Infected, Ryan took refuge in an old house where he discovered his old friend, Caleb Meyerhoff. They journeyed out together and eventually took refuge in an abandoned apartment with a group of other survivors, where they bumped into old friend Taylor Williamson (with whom he developed a romantic relationship). They thought it was safe enough, so they decided to hang around for a while. After Caleb went missing one night, and was discovered a Walker by Ryan, he decided it was time to leave. He and Taylor left the survivors in the apartment following a hostile encounter with a survivor known as Christopher Red.

It was by fluke that they ducked into a tunnel camp to avoid the Infected and found their friend from school, Ashleigh Yzerman. Occasionally, they stumbled upon other survivors and grouped together. Ryan was heartbroken when Taylor was killed by Infected, and severed any ties of love. Eventually, he came across a Prison which he and his group secured, meeting survivors Kenny Red and Daryl Dixon. By this point, Ashleigh had gone missing. It was around this time they encountered Phillip Jackson, better known as The Governor, who was in charge of Hoodsbury. They became conflicted with each other after Ryan and a small group invaded Hoodsbury to rescue his parents. After this, Phillip declared Ryan's group at the Prison a major threat that needed taking care of.

Both groups had conflicting battles and attempted negotiations at one point. Despite seemingly reaching terms, Phillip planned to kill the group anyway, and Ryan suspected as much. Christopher attempted to take out Phillip himself, but was killed in the process. Kenny was also murdered, and it was around this time Merle Dixon was also killed by The Governor.
