Biography[]

Past[]

Ed Peletier was a violent, selfish and abusive man towards his wife Carol, and it was hinted that he had sexually abused his daughter Sophia. Carol mentions at one point she used to have longer hair, though Ed would pull on it to make it easier to hit her, so she cut it short herself as a small measure of control and only let it grow out again after his death when she finally felt safe.

Season One[]

One afternoon he had an argument with the women of the camp and struck Carol. Shane Walsh, who was watching from a distance, dragged Ed away and proceeded to savagely beat him. Shane warned Ed that if he ever put his hands on Carol, Sophia or anyone else in the camp, he would kill him. Later that evening, hiding in his tent recovering, Ed was eaten alive by a walker.

The next morning, after the attack on the camp, Carol took revenge on her deceased husband by smashing his head in with a pickaxe.

Season Two[]

Ed briefly reappears during a flashback scene during the initial breakout of Walkers in Atlanta where he scolds Carol for trying to be generous and handing out a snack to Carl Grimes, telling her that only their family matters.

Legacy[]

Ed would sporadically be mentioned throughout the rest of the series, the most notable example would be during the prison arc where during a conversation with Beth, she states that she doesn't fear anything anymore and that if Ed were still alive and told her to do anything, she'd confidently stand up for herself.
