Who is Sgt. Abraham Ford?

Abraham is a brave, pragmatic and short tempered man who thrives in the heat of combat. He greatly enjoys a good fight. On the exterior, he appears to be a violent, cold and detached man, but beneath that facade he is very sensitive and suffers extreme guilt for previous murders and killings. He is desperate for emotional support, which he initially gets from Rosita and later from Holly.

Though initially hostile to the Survivors, believing them too inexperienced with the apocalypse, and a hindrance in his mission of delivering Eugene to Washington, D.C., he grew to accept them, and become the group's main enforcer, replacing the hole left by Tyreese's death. He also formed a close bond with Rick, relating to his experiences of family loss in the apocalypse, even after the two clashed for leadership in their first meetings together.

After Eugene revealed himself as a liar, telling the group that he is not actually a scientist, and has no clue what caused the apocalypse, Abraham loses confidence in himself. This causes him to step-down from his joint leadership role with Rick, believing Rick to be a more capable leader, and he settles as Rick's second in command, helping Rick make any important decisions, but, not involving himself too much in group matters.

It is also revealed that Abraham never loved one of his traveling companions, Rosita, despite telling her so, and was only with her for her comfort seeing as she was the only woman around. He decides to cheat on her by sleeping with an Alexandria Safe-Zone resident, Holly, after saving her life. He tells Rosita that he only formed a romantic relationship with her because he did not want to be lonely, and that she felt like the last woman on Earth to him, in a way doing it out of pity for her. However, in his dying moments, Abraham tells Eugene that he wants him to look after Rosita, saying he just wants her to be happy like he was with Holly, never wishing to hurt her despite seemingly wanting to before his final moments.
