Abraham Ford ~ "You got a shit storm behind door A and a storm of shit behind door B. If you're lucky, it's walkers or a shot-up truck. But sooner or later you get cornered. You wind up staying' and you wind up killing'. We don't go back! We can't go back".

Not much is known about Abraham Ford's life before or as the outbreak started, apart that he had a wife, daughter and son. He was a Sergeant in the U.S. Army and is described as "vulgar with rough edges but wise". He was stationed somewhere near Houston, Texas.

Abraham was at one point surviving with his family. They're threatened at some point, causing Abraham to retaliate by brutally assaulting the responsible party. However, they are traumatized by both the events and Abe's actions and eventually leave. Abraham later finds them all dead. Abraham was about to commit suicide when he found and rescued Eugene, leading to their joining forces.
