Jake Gunn

"'It's the three of us against like a thousand of those things.' ―General Jake Gunn"Jake Gunn was portrayed by Jackson Bell.

General Jake Gunn is one the main protagonists in the first chapter of the chronicles. He is the leader of the band of survivors followed in the chapter. He is introduced to Richard Thompson by Zak. Gunn is concerned when a zombie is able to break through the group's defenses. He leaves the safety of the building to check the intruding corpse is dead and upon finding out it isn't, shoots it point-blank in the head and by doing so, is the first to perform an on-screen kill. He talks with Richard about the break-in soon after. The next day another invasion occurs on a much larger scale, killing all but 4 of the group. A survivor arrives by the name of Jeremy Stevenson. Gunn is wary at first but soon welcomes the stranger to join him and Rick in the last stand against an incoming horde. During the last stand, Gunn takes a ground position and hides amongst groups of plants on the ground, firing at any infected who run at him. He is killed along with Richard Thompson when he drops a live grenade.
