![]() He had many casual relationships with girls and even once having sex with the high school women's athletics teacher. Throughout his high school years he was a known prankster, once stealing the principal's car. Shane was an avid football enthusiast, playing on his school's team as number 22 (reminisce of by the necklace he wears). ![]() Shane was born in 1973 and during his childhood, he grew up alongside his best friend Rick Grimes in Georgia, where the two developed a strong bond together to the point where the pair came to regard each other as 'brothers'. Shane simply adapted to the violent world of murder and deceit much faster than his fellow survivors, paving the way for others who would become just like himself. Ironically, the traits and mindset illustrated by Shane in the second season would not have been out of place later in the apocalypse as many of his fellow group members would also devolve into hardened, ruthless survivors themselves. He begins by murdering his own allies, going against the beliefs of the group, and betraying his former best-friend, leading to his eventual demise. He completely shed the concepts of guilt, remorse, and moral correctness in favor of survival for himself and those he cares about by any means necessary. He was later able to fool the entire group into believing Randall was loose in the woods as part of his plan to assassinate Rick and during their final confrontation revealed he already had a plan in place to fool the group once he murdered Rick in cold blood, exemplifying his strong cunning.ĭuring the second season, Shane devolved from a good friend and caring person into a cold, cunning and murderous antagonist. Shane was also a great liar and good at concocting false stories as he was able to convince almost the entire group that Otis sacrificed himself to save Carl during a supply run and later fooling Randall into believing that he wasn't going to kill him but instead, wanted to join his group. This was illustrated when he brutally murdered Randall in order to protect the group from the threat Shane claimed he possessed. Shane was more than willing to commit brutality to keep his group safe from anything he viewed as danger, and was shown to be very capable of committing cold blooded murder. He was subsequently one of the earliest members of the Survivors to devolve into a hardened survivor and fully adapt to the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world, a world in which Dale Horvath claimed Shane truly belonged in due to his increasingly darkening nature. Shane showed signs of suffering from denial of guilt following Otis's death. This was in contrast to Rick, whom Shane believed was too blinded by good intentions that did nothing but cause disaster and interference and were likely to cause the entire group to be killed or worse. He believed himself to have the most pragmatic view of the apocalyptic world, and the most qualified to lead the group in the post-apocalyptic hell. This was apparent after being forced to sacrifice Otis to walkers in order to save himself and Carl, and by the second season, he had only one motive: to keep himself, Lori, her unborn child (who he believed to be his) and Carl safe. ![]() Shane also viewed himself as being a better father than Rick towards Carl.ĭespite his strong leadership abilities, combat proficiency, skills with firearms and protective instincts, he largely became a morally unstable man. Shane also showed his potential as a father during Rick's absence and developed an admiration for Carl and treated him as his own son. He believed himself to be a more deserving man for Lori than Rick, and was determined to fight to keep her and Carl safe at all costs. During his incursions with Lori, he developed a strong obsession with her and was never able to get his head around the fact that Lori left him for Rick, who was thought to be dead when he and Lori had their sexual encounters. Shane is a single minded, fearless, cunning, hotheaded, rash, unpredictable and at times, brutal man who is a determined survivor and also a strong leader to those in his group.ĭuring the first season, Shane acted as the leader to the Atlanta group survivors, a position he clearly enjoyed and carried out strongly until Rick's arrival he then became the second-in-command through out the rest of the first and second seasons, much to his apparent dismay. ![]()
