Brian Blake (The Governor)

Personality:   Brian Blake, better known as Philip Blake or by his epithet "The Governor", is a main character and an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is also the protagonist of The Governor Special. He takes his brother's name after Philip dies, and even adapts his personality through an out of body experience, and never revealed his real name to anyone in Woodbury. He is best known there as the Governor, a cruel, merciless sadist, ready to do whatever he needs for the sake of his goals. After meeting Rick Grimes and later learning about the location of the Prison, he wants to take over this place. Ultimately, this led to his downfall without realizing how low he fell to the very bottom because of his revenge against the survivors of the Prison. Victory was his, but after he ordered Lilly to shoot the Grimes family, this led to the death of Lori and newborn child Judith. He eventually met his death and fall at the hands of Lilly Caul. He served as the primary antagonist from Volume 5: The Best Defense to Volume 8: Made To Suffer. Prior to his arrival at Woodbury, Brian Blake was nothing like the villain he would become. He was a meek, insecure, and generally good-natured man. Weak and cowardly, he relied of the protection of his cold younger brother, Phillip. His insecurity took it's toll on him as days grew darker and humanity crumbled, and he ultimately succumbed to carnal instincts. To assure he would never be weak, he assumed his brother's identity as Phillip Blake. As the Governor, Brian drowned in self induced psychopathy. He became utterly convinced that only the Phillip Blakes of society could make it in the world and that the Brians were destined to die. Against his internal ethics, he forced himself to commit atrocities to harden himself for the new world and repress the man who he once was. His true self emerges occasionally against his will, and he struggles with this severe internal conflict throughout his life as the Governor, rendering him insatiably callous, vengeful, belligerent, and paranoid. His thirst for power and blood to constrict the good within him is the dominant driving force of his character. He also showed intensely sexually perverted behavior, such as raping Michonne and a sexual attraction to his dead niece. Despite his savage and perverse actions, he was a charismatic and well loved leader among the survivors of Woodbury, and was a skilled manipulator, as he never really cared for any of his people and only used them for his own benefit, even when they were attacking Rick's group at The Prison. However, his selfishness and sole goal of seeking revenge on Rick's group and sacrificing many of his own people ultimately led to his demise at the hands of one of his own people, Lilly Caul, who saw Brian for what he really was: a sadistic monster.
