Identity of Carver

We don't know much about Carver other than the fact that he appears to be a potential threat to the cabin survivors. Carlos mentions that Carver was once a member of the group and Nick and Pete suspect that Carver is the one responsible for instigating the mass-shooting of survivors on the riverbank close to the group's cabin.

I have a feeling that Carver is somebody we already know and was at one time or another a member of our group. Nate could very well be Carver at this point (extreme, bloodthirsty, psychopathic), he's essentially the Trevor of The Walking Dead. But I'm choosing to exclude the characters of 400 Days as I don't believe it would be as hard hitting as one of the OG members of the group. Especially when you consider Clem's 'I THOUGHT you were dead' reaction (though this may not be related to Carver at all.)

Out of the few options we have: Kenny, Lilly, Molly, any of whom we would have thought to have died after a nearly two year absence.

I'm inclined to believe that Carver could be Kenny. IMO this would probably be the best way of 'exploring Kenny's fate' as he no longer is Kenny. After losing Duck and Katjaa, it would make sense that he would try to forget as much about his old life as possible, inventing a new name and possibly joining a new group (much like the Governor in the televised adaptation). I also think this would make for a great series of interactions with Clementine. For one, it would be a great excuse to have more conversations about Lee and our decisions from series one. It would be cool to see if the drawing of Kenny and his family (if you still have it after episode 1) would have any effect on him and whether or not Clementines presence would be a problem (bringing up the past, etc).

As much as I liked Kenny in the first series I think this would be a great way of introducing him as the villain in this series. We don't need an introduction to the character, we already know his back-story and a lot of us have already had a reason to hate the guy at one time or another.

I'm probably wrong and I don't mind at all if i am, but this is why this series is so damn good - it gets people talking and sharing their ideas about upcoming episodes!

So, who do you think is Carver and why? :)

Thanks for reading!

  • Knock on wood, but I wouldn't have imagined someone we already know changing their name amongst strangers. I suppose anyone could end up being with his group though.

  • I dunno but maybe he's not a psychopath until I meet him I aint gonna judge him especially since the only two I've seen killed is Roman and one of the people who attacked Clem and Christa
