Jerry

Jerry is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a resident of the Kingdom and Ezekiel's advisor.

Overview
Jerry is a friendly, jovial, generous and rather optimistic survivor who also serves as the closest ally for his friend and leader Ezekiel.

Jerry is also a very charitable person, eager to give gifts of food to people he considers friends.

Whenever he departs, he often waves away cheerfully with a peace sign, something that proves that Jerry is a peacuful individual too.

Although Jerry's behavior can sometimes irritate Ezekiel, the fact that they are almost always by each other's side suggests a great deal of mutual trust and respect between the two. Jerry's respect for Ezekiel is such that he will verbally admonish someone for interrupting as Ezekiel speaks.

Despite his kind hearted personality Jerry will never hesitate to kill someone who threatens him or his loved ones. However, he will only kill in self-defence and not because he genuinely wants to. This can been seen several times during the war against the Saviors, where he kills several members of them, in order to protect his friends. A specific example is when he brutally chopes in half Gunther, a Savior who was ready to kill Ezekiel.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Jerry's life prior to or as the outbreak began.

Washington D.C.
At some point after the apocalypse he became one of the most trusted knights in Ezekiel's court. He later became his personal steward and bodyguard making sure to never leave his sight. He is almost never seen without his signature melee weapon—a two-handed battle axe.

Relationships
{|

Ezekiel
Although Ezekiel and Jerry have an outwardly lord-servant relationship, the two actually seem to be close friends and are almost always seen together. Jerry's respect for Ezekiel is such that he will verbally admonish anyone who interrupts him as he speaks.
 * "Jerry, you are a faithful steward, but your words leave me pitch-kettled."
 * —Ezekiel to Jerry trying to calm down Shiva[src]

Jerry's demeanor sometimes causes mild annoyance to Ezekiel (ie. when he interjects with puns and when he was scarfing down some cobbler before a tribute run), though he usually tolerates it.

Shiva
Given that Jerry isn't afraid of Shiva - and Shiva likewise doesn't view him as food or a threat, it's likely they have a friendly bond. He seemed to be saddened by her death in "Some Guy".
 * "Chill it up, S'! Chill it up!"
 * —Jerry whispering towards Shiva to calm down[src]

Morgan Jones
Although they haven't been seen directly interacting with each other, Jerry seems to trust Morgan as much as Ezekiel does, seeing as he is a relative newcomer to the Kingdom and is already an escort and advisor to the King.

Carol Peletier
Jerry has taken a particular liking towards Carol. He is shown to be very hospitable to her, especially when it comes to food. Carol was devastated by his death.
 * "Cobbler! Kevin said you'd like it, just in case you did open the door."
 * —Jerry happily dropping off some food to Carol's cottage.[src]

Benjamin
Jerry and Benjamin have a friendly and professional relationship as the King's escort. Like the others, Jerry grieves after Benjamin loses his life.
 * "You sick with the stick, man!"
 * —Jerry praising Benjamin's staff-wielding[src]

Nabila
Following the end of the war, Jerry and Nabila enter a relationship and become a couple. It is revealed that during the six year timeskip they had three children and that they still happily live at the Kingdom.
