The Walking Dead features a fair share of badass survivors, but there are some cowardly characters who are lucky to have made it past day one.

For every strong warrior, there’s a weak link. I guess not everyone can be as brave as Daryl or Michonne in the zombie apocalypse. But some people are even more cowardly than others, so read on for the top 5 biggest cowards on the show.

5. Father Gabriel

The priest sits at the end of the list, rather than closer to the beginning, because he’s getting better. Last year, he certainly would’ve been sitting in a higher ranking. But Gabe has actually been proving his worth a whole lot more in recent appearances.

Still, it doesn’t change the fact that it took him a while to see the light. Before finally stepping up, he was one of the biggest cowards ever seen. It began at the start of the outbreak, with Gabriel refusing to let his parishioners into the church. They’d all die outside, leaving Gabe to be the town’s sole survivor.

His cowardice didn’t end there. After arriving in Alexandria, he once tried to get Deanna to kick Rick’s group out of town. He wasn’t successful, and finally accepted Rick as his leader.
