William Carver is the leader of a group of survivors located in an old depot store called [[Howe's Hardware]]. While many fear him they also respect him and never look to cross him as the results could be deadly. He brings everyone together and welcomes all into his community as he sends Tavia to recruit [[Vince (Video Game)|Vince]], [[Wyatt (Video Game)|Wyatt]], [[Russell (Video Game)|Russell]], [[Bonnie (Video Game)|Bonnie]], [[Shel (Video Game)|Shel]], and [[Becca]] to join him.

'''Charisma:''' When Carver is talking to someone he is usually has a polite,

He believed his prisoners were secure so they couldn't get away, and even after the group had stolen a walkie-talkie he made no effort to find out how they got it in the first place.

'''Level-headedness:''' Jane's ability to remain objective during crisis has made her a respected voice of reason, and an asset in discussions of tactics. It also makes her one of the few people who can influence Kenny when he behaves irrationally (albeit very little).

When given the chance she will venture to secluded areas away from the main group. The main exception to this rule is Clementine in that when she ventures off alone Clem will often accompany her, but one person isn't a whole
