Biography[]
The woman who would become known as Gamma was a survivor of the zombie apocalypse who became a member of a group of nomads called the Whisperers, who lived among the dead by wearing the skinned faces of victims as masks. Gamma and her sister, Frances, were considered the best trackers among their group.
Frances suffered an emotional break down and attacked the Whisperer leader, Alpha, and Gamma rose up to defend Alpha, attacking Frances, which ultimately resulted in her death.
In recognition for saving her, and for putting the needs of the group above all else, Alpha gave her defender the code name of Gamma. [3]
Gamma is later stabbed by Beta after fending off a herd of walkers to protect Alden, Adam and Kelly. Gamma manages to rip part of Beta's mask, causing him to be recognized personally by another Whisperer who is promptly killed by Beta.
