| “ | I hurt her a long time ago. (Stranger: How?) In a lot ways. She travelled for work. I didn't like that. I wanted a family. (A reasonable thing to want.) So, we fought. And it made my biggest fear come true. I got sick one day on the way to class. Cancelled it and went home. Found her there with someone else. Killed him. I was mad at her for so long and I can't imagine how much pain she felt. | „ |

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
Overall[]
- Most of his heroic actions are determined by the player's choices and can be avoided in favor of more villainous actions like lying, stealing, or murdering. However, even most of these actions are usually done to protect Clementine or the group.
- Has a wrathful side that led him to kill his wife's lover before the events of the game. This trait can be more or less pronounced depending on player choice.
- Is occasionally rude to others, telling Omid and Kenny to shut up unprovoked without player input.
"A New Day"[]
- Constantly scolds Hershel and lies to him.
- Does not try to save either Duck or Shawn.
- Stands with Larry to toss Duck out of the pharmacy as he believes the kid is bitten.
- Scolds Carley while she's trying to urge him to tell the truth to the group about his past.
"Starved For Help"[]
- Feeds the other adult members and himself, instead of Clementine and Duck.
- Provokes Larry to eat Mark's legs, even if he deserved as he berated Lee and did not believe him when Lee warned the others.
- Steals from the Stranger's car along with the others. While this done was to feed the group, it indirectly led to the deaths of the Stranger's wife and daughter.
"Long Road Ahead"[]
- (If Lilly comes with the group) Has a choice of accepting Lilly's offer to steal Kenny's RV and flee from the group together after taking Clementine.
- Beats and threatens Kenny to stop the train and put Duck down before he turns into a zombie. While it was for convincing Kenny and protecting Katjaa and Duck, there are more diplomatic options.
- After Chuck says that Clementine will die, Lee threatens him instead of questioning him.
- Threatens to kill Ben after he confesses that he gave supplies to the bandits.
- Does not try to save either Omid or Christa.
"Around Every Corner"[]
- Seizes Vernon's gun and threatens or lies to them to get Vernon to escort him back to the mansion
- Needlessly scolds Molly after she tells him about her past.
- (If Clementine comes to Crawford) Does not let her vote for Ben, and later votes against Ben to leave him behind.
- Drops Ben from the top of the bell tower or allows Oberson to pull him down. While he and Kenny argue that dropping him is best for the group, it is still an extreme action.
- Threatens to kill Vernon and slams him against the wall after he offers Lee to take Clementine to his group for her safety.
"No Time Left"[]
- (If Ben is alive) When Ben is impaled, Lee can tell Kenny to leave Ben there, as he can't be saved. (all determinant)
