Biography[]

Craig is a sadistic and barbaric bandit who leads a small group named Marauders, which consists of him, Andy and Jud, who are the self-proclaimed owners of the Interstate 75 highway and rob anyone they encounter within this highway. That said, three of these survivors (Rick Grimes, his son Carl Grimes, and Abraham Ford) who meant to search a shelter, adopt I-75 to camp there. As Abraham takes the first watch, he gets ambushed by the Marauders and pointed a gun by Craig, while threatening him to not to move and pay them up for camping in their road. Meanwhile, a knife-handling Jud approaches to a sleeping Carl while eerily stating that him being helpless. As Rick wakes up and sees the bandits, Andy takes him hostage with his knife while Jud does the same thing to Carl by pulling his hair and dragging the child on the ground, making him cry for help. Rick takes a small advantage and starts a fight with Andy, only to be overpowered by him again. After Andy beats Rick up, he orders Jud to take Carl's pants off to rape him in front of the begging father and taunts Rick by forcing him to watch and threatening him with killing, while Craig also threatening to rape Abraham once Carl is done. On his attempt to rape Carl, Jud punches the child and takes his pants off while Rick watches in tears and gets beaten up by Andy.

As Rick struggling with Andy, he eventually takes advantage by fatally biting off his neck and killing him, while the dead man's fellows Craig and Jud watches in shock. Abraham, who also takes advantage of Craig's short time confusion, catches him off guard and shoots him in the head. With Jud remaining only alive marauder and now starting to get panicked after his fellows' demises, takes Carl hostage once more and threatens to kill him, only to attempt to cowardly escape after seeing Abraham's gun and Rick's wrath against him. Eventually, Rick takes the escaping Jud's knife and brutally disembowels him while the rapist cowardly begs for his own life.

Even if the Marauders died, their short-time action scarred Rick and Abraham, as Rick starts to overthink about his son's protection, and Abraham starts to cry upon remembering his own family. Moreover, the incident traumatized Carl, as he remembers the Marauders' rape attempt once he witnessed his group kill some Saviors while on the road in Issue 97.
