Yea, you're right, man. That is enough. Line 3 of quote goes here.

"There is nothing easy about taking a man s life no matter how little value it may have. But when you get it done, you have to forget it. I guess I haven t quite got that last part down." Shane Walsh to Andrea.

Shane Walsh is Rick's partner and best friend since high school. After the initial outbreak, He is one of the main members of the survivors camped outside of Atlanta.

Overview

Shane was Rick Grimes's partner in the King County Sheriff's Department and best friend since high school. When the apocalypse occurred (with Rick in a coma) Shane helped save Lori Grimes and Carl Grimes by fleeing with them toward Atlanta.

Appearance and Personality

Shane was a fairly athletic built Caucasian male with dark brown curly hair, which he later shaves off.

During the first season, Shane was largely the secondary protagonist, having lead the group until Rick's arrival, and continued to be the de-facto second-in-command through out the first and second seasons, much to his apparent dismay, causing tension between the two former partners. During his incursions with Lori, he developed an 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. Despite his strong leadership abilities, combat proficiency, skill with firearms (having been a former gun instructor) and protective instincts.He believes himself to have the most pragmatic view of the apocalyptic world, and most qualified to lead the group in the post-apocalyptic hell. By season two, Shane becomes more of an antagonist, having shed his concepts of guilt, shame and moral correctness in favor of the concept of survival for himself and those he cares about by any means, even murdering his allies, going against the beliefs of the group, and betraying his former best-friend; leading to his eventual demise.

Pre-Apocalypse

King County, Georgia

Shane and Rick were best friends throughout their childhood. Shane was an avid football enthusiast, playing on his school's team as number 22 (which he's reminded of by the necklace he wears). He was a known prankster, once stealing the principal's car. He had many casual relationships with girls - even once apparently having sex with the high school women's athletics teacher. Shane eventually went into police administration along with Rick, and the two soon worked as local deputies for the King County Sheriff's Department. He became close to Rick's family during this time. Throughout his adult life, Shane never married, and had instead stayed a womanizer.

✘ Post-Apocalypse Goes Here

"Days Gone Bye" Shane and Rick are parked in a neighborhood inside their patrol car, eating french fries and having a discussion. Rick tells Shane about how his relationship with Lori is going bad since the two don't communicate too much. They receive a call from another patrol car from a nearby town that are pursuing two criminals heading into King County. Shane and Rick, with the help of Leon Basset and Lambert Kendal, block the road that leads to King County.

They get into a shootout with the criminals as they crash their car before the roadblock, Rick is almost shot, but they manage to kill the two criminals. Due to miscommunication, they weren't aware that there was a third criminal inside the car, who manages to shoot Rick in the back. Shane instantly shoots the criminal dead, and then tells Leon to call an ambulance as he assists Rick. Some time later, Shane visits Rick in the hospital as he is still in a coma. He delivers flowers, but Rick's not conscious enough to be fully aware of what's going on.

"TS-19"

In the first days of the apocalypse, Shane goes to the hospital where Rick is to rescue him. He enters Rick's room and looks around for something he can use to carry Rick but an explosion occurs, prompting the lights to go out. Shane notices that the life support machine Rick is hooked up to has shut off due to the power outage. He puts his head to Rick's chest and realizes he is not breathing anymore; Shane then hears gunfire coming from outside the room. He goes to investigate and witnesses several National Guardsmen shooting patients and hospital faculty as they try to escape. He bolts back inside the room, but hears one of the soldiers approaching. He hides under Rick's bed when the soldier comes inside to investigate. After the soldier leaves, Shane cries over the loss of his best friend. He then proceeds to barricade the door and leaves the hospital without knowing that Rick is actually still alive.

"Bloodletting"

After the shootout where Rick was shot, Shane meets Lori to inform that her husband was shot during duty and is now in a coma. Carl is leaving from school and Shane offers to help Lori to tell him that his father was shot, but Lori insists that it's something she can do alone. Shane watches from far as Carl is informed of the bad news and hugs his mother crying. Chupacabra

Shane assists Lori and Carl as they leave from King County towards Atlanta, which was supposedly a refugee center. Just like many other people, they were stopped by a roadblock where they met the Peletier family. They watch in horror as Atlanta is bombed by military helicopters in an attempt to quarantine the outbreak.

"Days Gone Bye"

Shane got in a relationship with Lori after Rick's supposed death, he also became a surrogate father to Carl, he looked after both of them and made decisions that suited their best interest. Shane also became the leader of a group of people camping in a quarry near the entrance of Atlanta.

"Tell It to the Frogs"

Shane is seen once again sitting in around the campfire cleaning his shotgun, he tells Carl how they are going to feed and protect the group like son and father. Much for everybody's surprise, the rest of the group that was trapped in Atlanta returns. Morales explains how a "new guy" helped them escape. Shane is shocked when Rick showed up, revealing himself to be the "new guy". At night, Rick is explaining how he woke up in the hospital and managed to get to Atlanta, where he met Morales and the others. Shane tells him that he tried to get Rick out of the hospital, but he thought Rick was dead when he arrived there. Lori, hugged with her husband, glares at him. Shane is seem again watching the camp at night, as he realizes that Rick and Lori are making love inside their tent. By the morning, Daryl Dixon arrives at the camp after spending some time hunting in the forest, he looks for his brother, Merle. Shane and Rick inform Daryl that Merle was left behind in Atlanta, as he became a problem to the group that was scavenging supplies.

Daryl says he's going after his brother. Rick, T-Dog and Glenn Rhee also offer to go with him. Shane tells Rick how this is a bad idea, since Merle would never risk his life for someone. Rick reveals that he also dropped a bag full of guns, and they need these weapons, Shane says that they need people to protect the camp, but Rick and the others depart anyway. After this, Shane and Carl are trying to catch frogs at the lake, Lori approaches them and discreetly orders Carl to stay away from Shane. After Carl leaves, Lori seethed at Shane and warned him to stay away from her family. "You think I'm not happy Rick's alive?" Shane asked. "Why would you be?" she responds. "You are the one that told me that he died." Lori storms off, leaving a broken Shane alone. Angered by Lori's comments, he oversees Ed hit his wife and threaten the other women, Shane then proceeds to beat Ed severely and threatens that if he ever touches anyone else at camp then the next time he will not stop punching.

"Vatos"

With Rick, Glenn, Daryl, and T-Dog still out looking for Merle and the bag of guns Rick left in Atlanta, Shane continues on as the de-facto leader of the group. Jim has been digging for some reason constantly a bit away from camp, concerning the group. Shane goes to talk to him, but Jim appears paranoid and is acting strange. Shane subdues him until he calms down. Later on, after asking Jim why he was digging the graves, Jim says that he had a dream about it, but he didn't remember what was it. Amy and Andrea were able to caught fishes so the group could have dinner. At night, everyone is united around the campfire as they listen to Dale's stories. This is short-lived, however, as walkers invade the camp and begin to kill several of the survivors. Shane takes up the defense, guarding Lori and Carl specifically. Rick and the others then return well armed just in time from Atlanta and aid in successfully saving the camp, though the damage had already been done.

Put a block quote here. It can be a snippet of your tale, emphasizing certain key points regarding your story line. Keep it short.

"Wildfire"

Following the attack on the Atlanta camp, the group had begun to dig holes for their deceased group members. While digging the holes, Rick, Lori and Shane discuss how to deal with Andrea over the issue of Amy s death and reanimation. Shane stated that she was infected, and needed to be treated like any other walker. Rick attempted to approach Andrea, however, she pulled a gun on him stating that she knew how the safety works, forcing Rick to back off. Shane and Rick had an argument over whose fault the attack on the camp truly was. Shane blames Rick for taking people to a failed rescue mission in Atlanta, Rick defends himself saying that without the guns they brought back, they would've lost many others. During this argument, Jacqui revealed to the group that Jim had been bitten.

Shane and Rick head into the nearby woods to scout out the area, Shane tells Rick that they need to head to Fort Benning, since it's a secure military base. Rick however, believes the group needs to head to the CDC in Atlanta, so they can find a cure for Jim. After an heated argument between the two, Shane watched as Rick wandered off to search alone further off. In a state of impaired judgement, Shane raised his shotgun and took aim at Rick s unsuspecting back. Shane holds his aim for several seconds then lowers his weapon as he comes back to his senses. This indiscretion was witnessed by Dale, who had been watching out of a mistrust of Shane. Shane, played it off as nothing, stating that "they should start wearing reflective vests such as the kind used by forklift drivers". Dale however did not believe him, but kept it to himself. They all returned to camp. Strangely enough, Shane starts to agree with Rick (despite some minor objections), which surprises both Rick and Lori. They all decide to leave camp and head for the CDC.

On the way, they are forced to leave Jim by the road, as he was not able to survive the infection and told the group that he wanted to be left behind so he would cause no trouble for the others. The group finally arrives at the CDC, the place seems abandoned, the sun sets and walkers begin to approach the group, Shane tries to convince Rick that they need to go back to the cars, but the entrance of the CDC opens just in time.

"TS-19"

Shane and the rest of the group are received into the CDC by Dr. Edwin Jenner. Everybody is shocked to learn that Dr. Jenner is the only survivor in the entire facility, and there is no cure for the virus. Even though, the group decides to celebrate their first real safe night by drinking and eating around a table in the facility's kitchen. Shane breaks the mood when he asks Dr. Jenner what happened there, prompting Jenner to reveal that most of the scientists committed suicide and others left to be with their families. After drinking too much, Shane drunkenly professed his love to Lori and tried to kiss her, which caused her to push him away. As this event turned into a struggle, Shane attempted fondling her between the legs to satisfy her only to have his neck and ear clawed by her nail. Angry and hurting, he returns to his senses as he leaves for the night. By the next day during breakfast, when T-Dog and Rick questioned Shane about the injuries, Shane said he probably did it to himself in his sleep. When Rick says that he's never done that before, Shane replies "Not like me at all," while eyeing Lori.

Dr. Jenner decides to reveal to the group everything that he learned about the infection and the events of reanimation, Dale notices that there is a clock running down, Jenner says that when it strikes zero, the facility will be out of fuel and will self-destruct. Shane, Rick, T-Dog and Glenn investigate the fuel tanks under the building, noticing that there is basically nothing left, they return to the main room. Dr. Jenner eventually locks the survivors in the facility during the final hour of a self-destruct count down, some of them listened to the man's reasoning, while others decided to take more drastic action. Shane, in the latter category along with Daryl Dixon, attempted threatening Jenner. In a moment of blind rage, fear and frustration, Shane aims his shotgun at the doctors head before demanding him to let them go. As the doctor refuses to comply, Shane begins to lose it. Even at the protests of Rick and Lori who know that they all would definitely die if he shot Jenner. Before the delusional man can pull the trigger, Rick attempts to stop him and the two friends fight for the shotgun. Rick manipulates the shotgun into hitting Shane before taking him down with a punch.

With Jenner's life momentarily spared, Rick is able to talk him out of deciding when they should die and allow them to escape. As a result, Jenner releases the doors before warning them that the main floor had sealed shut upon their arrival and would they would be facing indestructible glass. Everybody runs to leave the building, except for Jacqui and Andrea.

With minutes to escape, Shane remains vigilant in their escaping. He goes as far as to shoot out the glass but to no effect. Carol mentions she may have something that could help to which Shane says would probably be useless. Once again, the leader of the Atlanta survivors is wrong as Carol presents a grenade that Rick had left in his pocket the day he arrived at camp.

Rick pulls the pin and drops the explosive by the window, destroying an entire window, thus allowing them to escape to their vehicles. Andrea, after being convinced by Dale, also leaves the facility, leaving only Jacqui and Dr. Jenner inside. After the explosion, a stunned Shane drives the Jeep along with the convoy into an unknown and dangerous future.

"What Lies Ahead"

Shane is still envious of Rick and Lori. Rick assumed the post of leader of the group, they decide to take Shane's idea to leave Atlanta and head to Fort Benning, 125 miles away from the city. During the travel, Shane is teaching Andrea how to clean her gun when the group is forced to stop as the highway is blocked with several parked and crashed vehicles. Dale, who is driving the RV, decides to try to find a way through, but the radiator is blown, forcing them to stop. They decide to scavenge supplies from the vehicles so they can find something to fix the RV. A herd of more than thirty walkers approach their location, forcing everyone to hide under the cars as the herd passes by. Sophia is suddenly attacked by two walkers and runs into the forest, with Rick going after her. Shane and the rest stay put until Rick returns a few minutes later, he asks if Sophia is back, but nobody has seem her: Sophia is lost in the woods.

As Shane, Rick, Daryl and Glenn investigate the last place where Sophia was seem, Daryl is able to find her trail, Rick orders Shane and Glenn to get back to the highway and distract the group with simple tasks, like moving the cars out of the way so the RV can pass. While doing so, Carl approaches Shane, showing that he found a Gerber Gear inside one of the cars, Shane angrily tells Carl to take it to Dale. Lori approaches, telling Shane not to be rude with Carl because of what happened between them. Shane reveals that he decided to split away from the group at the first chance he gets. Rick and Daryl return as the night falls, they decide that they will continue the search for Sophia by the morning, taking more people with them. The following day, Shane accompanies the group as they continue to track for Sophia deeper into the woods. They find a tent in the middle of the forest, but no signs of Sophia nowhere near it, a bell began to ring nearby, the group decide to follow the sound and they soon find a church. Yet again, no signs of Sophia, the sound of the bell was actually a timer.

While Rick and the others are inside the church, Lori discusses with Shane against his idea of leaving the group. Andrea overhears the conversation and tells Shane that if he leaves, he needs to take her with him. Shane stays with Rick and Carl to continue the search a little longer as the others go back to the highway. The three find a deer and Rick tells Carl to go touch it. As Carl approaches it, they all hear a loud gun shot, and a bullet going through the deer and hitting Carl's chest.

"Bloodletting"

Rick runs with a unconscious Carl in his arms, Shane drags Otis (the man who accidentally shot Carl) along as they reach the Greene Family Farm to get Carl medical help. While Hershel Greene and his daughters attend to Carl's wound, Shane comforts Rick over his distraught. They learn that Hershel needs medical supplies so he can remove the bullet fragments and close the bleeding, or Carl will soon die from blood loss. Rick volunteers to find the necessary supplies, but is replaced by Shane, who tells Rick that he needs to stay put for Carl. Otis also volunteers to go with Shane, trying to redeem himself to Rick and Carl. The two get in Otis' truck and depart. As the night falls, Otis and Shane find the FEMA shelter in the entrance of a high school overrun with walkers. They create a distraction to retrieve supplies from a nearby trailer, but are discovered by the walkers as they exit, and are forced to seek refuge inside the high school as walkers storm their location.

"Cherokee Rose"

Shane soon finds himself in an awkward position when he is asked to speak on behalf of Otis at his funeral, as he was the last one to see him alive. With Patricia's sorrowful, tear-filled eyes fixated on him, Shane conjures up a heroic tale of Otis saying "We gotta save the boy," and intentionally putting himself in harm's way for the greater good. Shane's tale, of course, contrasts with the fact that Otis had not willingly given himself up, but instead was betrayed and left for dead. The group is allowed to stay in the farm as Carl heals from the gunshot and they still need to find the missing Sophia. Later, Shane participates in the operation to retrieve a walker from the bottom of a well, which goes awry when the walker disintegrates under its own weight, contaminating the well. Shane is also seem continuing tutoring Andrea on firearms, as the two start to form a bond.

"Chupacabra"

The survivors continue the search for Sophia, and Shane participates despite his still-ailing ankle and internal conflicts. While him and Rick search through the forest, he begins to display signs of his deteriorating moral values to fellow survivors when he disagrees with Rick about continuing the search for Sophia, arguing that Rick lacks the ability to make the right decisions when those decisions are also difficult. After returning from the search, Shane opens a similar discussion with Lori, but receives little support as Lori is in support of her husband, saying that she and Carl are not his problem, nor his 'excuse.'

Later on, Andrea spots a walker approaching the farm, everyone is alerted and prepared to go kill it, when in fact they discover it was Daryl, covered in mud and blood after an accident with Hershel's horse; Andrea didn't notice it was him though, and shoots him anyway, grazing Daryl with a bullet. Rick and Shane helps Daryl back to the house and get him medical attention from Hershel. Daryl reveals that he found Sophia's doll by the river, giving Rick even more hope of finding Sophia, but Shane tells Lori that he believes that Rick is going to get someone killed with this search. Shane and the others are later seen at the awkward dinner at Hershel's house, as the Atlanta group and Hershel's family seem not to stabilize a good relationship with each other.

"Secrets"

Shane gets Hershel's permission to do some gun practice with the group and some members of the Greene Family. Carl approaches Shane and asks him to teach him how to shoot too. At first Lori is opposed but Rick convinces her to let Shane teach Carl. At the training, most of the group does fairly well, and Andrea seems to excel. Shane gives her some private tutoring after the rest of the group head back to the farmhouse. Shane is an expert instructor, but while trying to distract Andrea as part of the lesson, he mentions Amy's death and upsets her. They make up as part of an agreement that Shane is to take Andrea with him on a mission to investigate a lead on Sophia, she accepts and they go on to search some houses in a small neighborhood called Wiltshire Estates.

The lead is a dead end, but turns out to be an opportunity for Shane to administer one final shooting lesson - a live exercise with walkers. Andrea struggles to find a groove at first, but transforms her fear into sheer determination, and the pair of them make the heads of all nearby walkers splatter their crimson contents onto the pavement. Exhilarated, Andrea makes a move on Shane on the ride back and the two have sex in the car. Back at camp, the secret of Shane and Lori is revealed to Rick, though it is not clear at this point if Shane or Rick is the father of Lori's baby. On returning, Dale notices the strange behavior of Andrea as she talks to Shane. Feeling worried for Andrea, Dale confronts Shane by saying "I know the kind of man you are." He furthermore tells Shane to leave the group for good, bringing up the suspicious nature of Otis' death, as well as Shane's attempted "assassination" of Rick that Dale witnessed back in the Atlanta camp. This resulted in Shane threatening Dale's life.

"Pretty Much Dead Already"

During breakfast, Shane and the group finds out from Glenn that there are walkers locked in the barn. Rick is concerned about their safety, he wants to talk to Hershel about this, but Shane suggests that they open the barn and kill every single walker. After calming everyone down, Rick convinces the group to wait for him to negotiate with Hershel. Shane insists having a guard watching the barn at all times until Rick can find a diplomatic solution, but his patience for diplomacy is quickly depleted. After a failed attempt to convince Hershel to let them stay, Rick and Shane argue at the barn and Shane has lost almost all confidence in Rick's decision-making abilities. Rick tells Shane that simply leaving the farm isn't an option, and that Lori is pregnant.

After Rick leaves, Shane confronts Lori saying that he is the father of the baby, but she says that the baby will never be his, even if it is his biologically. Shane tells her that only he can protect her and Carl because Rick isn't cut out for this world, he blames Rick for the death of Amy, Jim and many others back at the Atlanta Camp while Rick was risking his life trying to save a drug dealer. Shane walks away and is stopped by Carl. Carl tells him that they have to go after Sophia and that they have to stay at the farm. Shane agrees, but tells Carl they may have to fight for it. Lori calls to Carl to get him away from Shane. Immediately, Shane goes to the RV to get the bag of guns, only to find them missing, Glenn tells Shane that Dale asked him to get some water, but when he came back, Dale wasn't there anymore. Shane deduces that Dale is responsible for the disappearance of the guns, he tracks Dale down into the forest and finds him hiding the bag under a tree. Shane once again threatens Dale's life, ordering him to give the bag of guns back, Dale asks if Shane is going to do to him the same thing he did to Otis, Shane says that they don't need that, since Dale is "pretty much dead already". Dale tells Shane that he belongs to this world as it is and gives him the bag.

Shane returns to the farm with weapons and begins rallying the troops in opposition of Hershel's harboring walkers. In the distance, Hershel and Rick are returning with two captured walkers. The sight is enough to send the already seething Shane over the edge. To Hershel's horror, Shane repeatedly shoots one of the captured walkers to illustrate that it is not human. Spurred by Rick, Shane finishes the walker off with a bullet in the head point-blank. He then says that if they want to survive, they have to 'fight for it,' and furiously opens the barn doors. Rick can't do nothing about it, since he is holding another walker. Shane and the other survivors massacre the walkers as they file out of the barn, Shane also shoots down the walker Rick is holding. As the Greene Family watches in horror, a last walker leaves the barn, and it's the reanimated Sophia. Everyone is shocked and saddened, including Shane himself, Rick realizes what has to be done; he gets his gun, points it at Sophia's head and pulls the trigger.
