Personality and background -
Daryl is a Southern hunter and expert tracker who constantly lives in the shadow of his brother, Merle. Like his brother, he is initially shown as volatile, short-tempered, and of questionable repute, but is tolerated by the group due to his survival skills. Daryl becomes furious when Merle goes missing due to Rick Grimes having handcuffed him to a rooftop in Atlanta , eventually leading Rick Grimes to start a search party for him. However, they are unable to find Merle. It is later revealed in season 3, that Merle and Daryl had initially intended to ransack the Atlanta group for supplies.
As the series progresses, Daryl becomes more independent and eventually starts to bond with the group. At the end of the second season, he becomes Rick's right-hand man as Shane becomes more and more unhinged. By season 3, Daryl becomes one of the series main protagonists and has largely shed his aloof personality, with the exception of dealing with strangers. From very early in the series, he is shown to be an extremely proficient zombie killer in both close quarters and ranged weaponry, and later becomes Rick's trusted right-hand man and protector. He also becomes "the go-to guy" of sorts for the group and is now well-liked and respected for his endeavours.
Daryl is now one of only five members of the original Atlanta group who continues to survive, along with Rick, Carl, Glenn, and Carol.
Daryl appears as the main playable protagonist in the 2013 video game The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, focusing on him and Merle during the early days of the zombie apocalypse. Daryl is shown to be an expert marksman, but his signature weapon is a Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow, which Reedus says he takes home after filming.
