Lee Everett is the protagonist of Season One and a survivor of the outbreak in Telltale's The Walking Dead. Lee was a history professor for the University of Georgia for almost six years before he was fired from the job following his arrest. Convicted for the murder of the Georgia state senator, Sam, who slept with his wife, Lee is freed from this fate by the apocalypse and encounters a young girl named Clementine. He took Clementine under his care, and the two met up with a group of Motel Survivors. Lee rose up to protect them, becoming co-leader with Kenny and Lilly before becoming the sole leader of the group. Lee's personality is, to some extent, up to the player, but he is consistently smart, independent and resourceful. Lee also cared deeply for Clementine. It was because of Lee that Clementine learned how to defend herself from both people and the undead in the apocalypse. Until the very end of his life, he saved Clementine from a stranger, but in the end he met his end knowing that Clementine would live.
