Crawford Oberson is a major antagonist in the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead video game series.
He was the leader of Crawford, a small survivor village in Savannah, Georgia, where he ruled with an iron fist and sought to be the strongest community and exterminate the weak. His decisions would ultimately lead to his own death and posthumously cause the downfall of his community.
Personality
Not much is known about Crawford’s personality, except from what is given on signs and character’s talking about him. According to them, Crawford was called heartless, ruthless, power hungry and darwinistic.
He was obsessed with keeping Crawford as perfect as possibly, weeding out "useless" survivors, such as the elderly, sick, disabled, pregnant women or children under 14. Even people assumed to be sick, but weren't, would also be kicked out.
Vernon says that Crawford saw children, sick and disabled as a detriment to keeping their “master race” alive. When Lee Everett sees a photo of Crawford, he assumed he saw himself as some sort of supreme leader of the others. Molly shares that Oberson, along with the city, were completely heartless and unempathetic. He is also shown to be paranoid during the last few days of his life, cracking down on medicine and forcing medical visits to be recorded and documented, no matter what, while also having Molly's sick sister executed to avoid her becoming a liability.
Biography
"Around Every Corner"
When Lee and Kenny first hear about Crawford the community from Molly (and later Vernon), they find out the horrid truth of how Oberson ran it. No elderly, sick, medically disabled, and children (under the age of 14) were allowed into Crawford, and if they were in it, they were either thrown out or executed. Oberson wanted a perfect utopia where only the fittest could survive.
A barrier of corpses and the walkers blocked off Crawford from the rest of the town. They also tapped the whole city of all medical, food, mechanical and military supplies. When Lee and the whole group sneak in to look for supplies, they found that all of Crawford had been overrun by Walkers after a pregnant woman named Anna killed a doctor named Logan and shot up the place after it was demanded she get an abortion, causing many of them to reanimate as walkers and overrun Crawford.
When the group reaches the top of the bell tower, they find Oberson as a walker tied around a noose arguably showing that he killed himself or was hung by others after Crawford fell. He grabs Ben Paul, and the player as Lee has the option to shoot and kill Oberson and save Ben, or leave Crawford to kill him. Either way, that’s the last we see of him in the game.
"No Time Left"
Although he does not appear in this episode, he is mentioned several times. The Stranger calls him "some villain".
Trivia
- While it can be implied that he committed suicide after the walkers overcame the community, according to unused audio clips, it was Molly's father who hanged him.
