Reece Grimes

This is about the original series character, if you are looking for the page about the same character who appears in Grimes, see Reece Grimes.Reece Grimes (Nee Aegan; Nee Hawthorne; Nee Chambler ; Nee Grimes; Nee Chambler-Grimes)(Pronounced REE-s - Ch-ahm-bler-Grimes) is the protagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's the Walking Dead. He is a former boarding school student who survived the outbreak by using his wits and harsh outlook on the world. He is the biological son of Negan and the woman he had an affair with. As well as the step-son of Lucille, the adoptive son of; David Chambler, later becoming the adoptive child of Rick Grimes and Lori Grimes as well as Michonne. This also makes him the adoptive brother of; Tara Chambler, Lilly Chambler, Carl Grimes, Judith Grimes and R.J. Grimes and the adoptive uncle of Meghan Chambler.

He saved his beloved Adoptive Father, Rick as well as his friends from a killer. After this Reece slowly assimilated into the group which he could finally accept as a family. During the war with the Saviors, he finds out Negan is his father. This does not stop him from becoming a Commander in the Militia as he wages war against him. A year and a half later; Reece has begun a relationship with Rosita Espinosa which breaks off when he leaves after the 'death' of his father on the Bridge.

Five years later; Reece returns to the communities finding out he has a son called Taron, (named after his sister Tara) who was conceived with Rosita unknowingly before he left. In "Scars" he learns of Taron, he then plans to meet Rosita at the fayre to reconcile. Following "The Calm Before", Reece has fallen into another depression due to the loss of his sister Tara.

Reece valiantly led the effort against the Whisperers once the Coalition decided they could not live with the Borders anymore. During the war, he developed a close bond with Henry Peltier until he caused the death of Henry's father, Ezekiel, while attacked Alpha in revenge for his sister's death. Reece made up with Henry and Carol towards the end of the War and watched in horror as Carol blew herself and Beta up to end the War.

Following the Whisperer War; Reece and a small group depart from the Coalition to reach out and try to find communities to ally themselves with.

Overview
In his first appearance Reece is shown to be a good person and rather mature for his age, although he has very obvious trust issues. He struggles to develop bonds to anyone in the group apart from Rick, who takes him under his wing. Reece proves his loyalty and compassion to the group when Dale is mortally wounded, prompting him to take on the heart-breaking task of mercifully ending Dale's life when no one else could, including; Rick, Shane and Daryl. This causes several others including Andrea and Lori to welcome him in.

Reece is also shown to be fairly cunning and manipulative when the situation calls for it. He lied to Shane, convincing him that he was prepared to kill Rick and side with him, only for him to turn on Shane when he is about to execute his best friend. Reece has also successfully convinced Deanna Monroe to allow the group to stay in Alexandria, after Rick and Pete's fight which caused her to consider kicking them out, as he persuaded her they wouldn't survive long without them or their survival skills.

Despite his tough childhood and years of surviving hardening him; Reece does have a very vulnerable and emotional side, especially when it comes to his past and family. When Carl dies, Reece begins to become a savage, showing no mercy to the saviors, a trait which he appeared to have picked up from his Adoptive-Father, Rick. This is shown again in the tenth season, when meeting Alpha at the border; Reece, who is still grieving from his sister, Tara's, death at the hands of the Leader of the Whisperers. When Alpha taunts him about Tara's final moments Reece lashes out and knocks Carol down, who is trying to stop him, he almost ends Alpha's life but instead kills one Whisperer before being detained by Jerry and Scott. This reckless behavior causes the death of Ezekiel, Carol's husband and his best friend, Henry's, father. This causes Carol and Henry to be cold and harsh towards Reece.

When Reece finds out Negan is his biological father; he is disgusted and ashamed, hiding it from Rick and Carl, eventually Negan tells them himself but they are supportive of him, reminding him, he is a Grimes.

Pre-Apocalypse
Before the release of "Reece Chamber: A Walking Dead Tale, not much was known about Reece' life prior to his debut in "Triggerfinger". In the five-part Skybound game, it is revealed Reece was adopted by a friend of his real mother as soon as he was born as his mother died in childbirth and Neil Aegan, his birth father, had disappeared.

Reece grew up in the Chamber family, who lived in England while he was younger, before moving back to America around his 13th Birthday where they sent him to a boarding school for challenged boys. He followed his education there until he was 16 when the Apocalypse began. He failed to make it back home before the world collapsed and was left to his own devices with his fellow surviving students.

Reece and a boy named Lewis were both respected as leaders with Lewis calling Reece out on risky decisions which were scaring kids and Reece retaliating, stating he was the only one prepared to make the harsh decisions. Eventually, Lewis messed up causing Walkers to get in and kill almost one hundred of the surviving students. Reece then executed Lewis for his decision which a lot of the students backed him up on. They later found out that Lewis was bitten and wanted to take everyone else down with him.

Reece and the others survived for half a year in the school before it was surrounded by a horde, the group of twenty split up with nine of them following Reece in a mission through the horde using Walker guts as a way to disguise their smell. When things go wrong and Reece' best friend causes his girlfriend to get bit, everyone loses each other and Reece flees with his girlfriend before putting her down out of mercy.

Eventually, Reece reached home but was devastated to find no trace of the Chamblers. He headed out towards Atlanta but ended up running into a group in macon who were under attack by another group.

"Triggerfinger"
When Glenn is grabbed by Sean in the bar, he is almost choked to death when suddenly, Sean releases Glenn from his grip, falling to floor choking in his own blood. Glenn turns round to see Reece standing behind him, shushing him before backing away into the ally. As the other group retreat, Randall shoots at Rick and Hershel from the rood before going to jump into Nate's van. Suddenly, Reece reappears behind Randall and stabs him in the arm, Nate and the other member of his group drive off as they can't wait for Randall any longer due to the horde of walkers. Reece pushes Randall down from the rood where Rick, Hershel and Glenn stand watching. Reece tells them that Randall is all theirs.

Rick thanks Reece for helping him and Reece nods to them before going to leave, he sees the horde coming towards him, Rick convinces Hershel to let Reece come with them for shelter and medical attention for his wound he received when fighting Randall, they take the incapacitated Randall as well.

Upon arriving back at the farm, everyone is relieved when the three men return but are confused as to why Reece and Randall are with them. Maggie tells them they have to go as they are just more mouths to feed but Rick and Hershel convince her to lower her guard. Reece introduces himself and says he is looking for his family in the local area and that he'll move on soon.

"Judge, Jury, Executioner"
While the group argue over what to do with Randall, Reece states he's seen Randall's group once or twice before in the area and that they're real "dickheads" he then sides with Rick that Randall needs to die but Maggie reminds him he doesn't get a vote as he doesn't live here. Dale agrees who says that Reece is being a hypocrite as he is an outsider but is still being given asylum. Reece states he earned his which angers Dale.

Later on, Dale speaks to Reece again and apologises for being snappy with him. Reece accepts the apology and tells Dale that people are dangerous and that you can't trust anyone, Dale asks if they can trust Reece. Reece then reminds Dale he won't be staying and that no-one here will ever need to worry about him having to make the tough calls around here. Dale nods, somewhat torn.

When Rick prepares to execute Randall, Reece watches on before telling Carl and Lori to go inside, Shane demands that everyone stays and watches what is about to happen because everyone here is too weak for this world and that they need to change. Reece says that a child watching a kids execution isn't going to make him tough and that stepping up to make the hard decisions is the things that prepare you for this world. Shane prepares to confront Reece but Rick tells them to stop arguing. When Rick cannot go through with the execution, Reece tells him that there was no right thing to do and that maybe Randall is just a kid with the wrong crowd.

Reece arrives in the field with Rick, Lori and Carl when they hear Dale's screams. As Andrea begs someone to do something while she breaks down in tears at Dale's side, Rick is in shock and Shane is too angry to think, Reece watches Rick attempt to unholster his gun, shaking. Reece then nudges Rick and takes the gun from his hand as everyone watches in sadness. Reece looks down at Dale before raising the gun, Dale nods slightly to Reece, "Sorry, man" Reece says before firing.

"Better Angels"
When Shane goes to check on Randall, Reece watches him from the distance. He issues a word of warning to Rick about Shane before leaving the farm to go and find his family.

Reece watches as Shane murders Randall in the woods, Shane knowing he can't kill Reece before Reece could kill him attempts to convince Reece that Rick is a weak leader and that if he helps him get rid of Rick then the group will be safer, Reece considers this before telling Shane he won't help him but he won't hinder him. Reece raises his gun and tells Shane to leave because he doesn't trust him not to kill him, Shane does so and Reece sets off looking troubled.

Later when Shane and Rick stand in the field, Shane prepares to kill Rick when suddenly a shot fires out, distracting Shane, allowing Rick to kill him. Reece helps Rick up and briefly talks to him before they notice Carl aiming at them, Rick attempts to talk him down before he shoots at the zombified Shane. The three look shocked as Shane was not bitten.

Inside the barn, Rick and Carl dose the ground in gasoline and Reece hands Rick his lighter, he questions if it is a good idea what they're going to do and Rick states that they'll find out. After dropping the lighter, they escape through the roof onto the RV which Jimmy has driven over to them, before they can reach Jimmy, the RV is overrun and he is devoured, Reece helps Carl down to the ground where he, Carl and Rick head for the woods to circle back round.

At Dawn, they arrive at the highway where they left supplies for Sophia. Reece encourages Rick to move on soon, regardless of if Lori shows up because she might be dead, whereas Carl is alive. Rick asks Reece to stay with them and they can search for his family together, before Reece can answer, everyone else shows up.

After Reece reveals to the group that everyone is infected, Rick states that he knew that already thanks to Jenner. Everyone gets angry at Rick for keeping that a secret but Reece comes to his defence stating that Rick had no reason to believe it was true and he's had far too much to deal with for them to be getting pissy with him. Later, Rick thanks Reece for defending him, Reece states he will stay after considering his own advice to Rick, that his family might not be alive but he has people that are alive now.

 * In "Made to Suffer" he changes his name to Grimes to properly join the Grimes family.
 * In "Amid the Ruins" he reveals to Negan he considers his name to be Reece Chambler-Grimes.
 * Upon meeting Pamela in "New faces and New Problems" he introduces himself again as Reece Grimes.
 * Reece is the third person in any Walking Dead canon to become the protagonist of their respective media after another person has been protagonist.
 * Clementine was the first taking it from Lee Everett in Season 2 of the Video Games.
 * Javier Garcia is the third taking it from Clementine in Season 3 of the Video Games.
 * Despite being the shows protagonist and having the most appearances, Reece has only ever directly killed one main character, Dale Horvath.
 * Even then, Reece only killed Dale out of Mercy after he had been mortally wounded.
 * However, he has caused the deaths of the most characters; Glenn Rhee, for punching Negan; Gregory, he kicked the horse which allowed Gregory to hang; all pike victims, Ozzy, Alec, D.J., Frankie, Addy, Rodney, Enid, Gabriel and Tara, for stealing Lydia back; Ezekiel, for attacking Alpha.
 * He technically is part of the reason Maggie Rhee had to do a Cesarean on Lori Grimes, which caused her death, without any training as he got split up from the group which meant he couldn't get her to safety.
 * Reece is the current owner of Rick's Revolver after Judith gifts it to him saying that it's too heavy for her.
 * Reece is the first person from Europe to appear on the show.
 * Reece is the current leader of the Atlanta Survivor Group (Rick's Group), despite never being present in Atlanta.
 * Ironically, Reece has been responsible for the most deaths in the Atlanta Group having killed three and being part of the reason why three others are dead.
 * Reece directly caused the deaths of Dale, Glenn and Morales.
 * Reece wasn't present to help move Lori Grimes to a safe place for the baby to be born, meaning Maggie had to operate quickly, killing her.
 * Reece betrayed Shane to save Rick which lead to Rick killing him.
 * Reece also was unable to assist Daryl Dixon in fighting Dwight which lead to his death.
 * Reece was created for the show as a mix of Michonne, Rick, Carl and Sophia.
 * The reason for his creation according to Scott Gimple is that "We were unable to initially secure the rights to use Michonne in the show, therefore we wanted a sword wielding character. We also wanted an adopted child for one of the main characters and gave that role to Reece as Sophia was dead already."
 * It was also revealed that Maggie and Glenn were going to be the ones who adopted him but the age gap was too small and thus he was adopted by Rick and Lori instead.
 * Reece was originally meant to die in the finale episode of the series and was meant to get Rick Grimes' comic book death but Calum Kelmer, and Jeffery Dean-Morgan, requested it be given to Negan as he wanted to continue on in a spin-off series.
