The Walking Dead universe is full of terrible people who do awful things, so let’s shine a light on the selfless characters who show that not all humanity is lost in the apocalypse.

In a zombie apocalypse, it is common for people to only look out for themselves and refuse to help others. Despite this, The Walking Dead has shown us that there are still good people out there who are willing to do the right thing, even if it comes at their own expense.

There are a select few survivors who managed to continue to the right thing in almost every situation. Whether it be saving somebody’s life or generally trying to help others, these characters served as the moral backbone of a show that touches on quite a few dark themes throughout its nine seasons and counting.

Of course, no character is perfect. Each person on this list has done something selfish or immoral at some point during their time on the show. This complexity is what makes The Walking Dead such a special show.

Let’s take a look at some of the most selfless characters from the first nine seasons of The Walking Dead!
