Hugh (TWD: A Revision)

Hugh Abbott is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead: A Revision, first introduced in Season 5. He is a member of the Hilltop Colony who serves as a recruiter alongside Paul "Jesus" Monroe.

Pre-Apocalypse
Almost nothing is known about Hugh's life prior to the apocalypse, except for that he was a professor teaching biology at Georgetown University, lived with his wife and son, and had a sister. He once mentioned that his son would be going to Oxford University in England to study for engineering.

Inside a house
When the apocalypse began, Hugh immediately evacuated Georgetown and rushed to house to find his son, wife and sister sheltered inside. He remained in the house with his family, living off of canned food, until they decided to leave the residence, believing it to be too vulnerable to a walker attack.

Finding the Hilltop
For weeks, the Abbott family began looking for a safe zone of some sort. It was a complete miracle to them when they met Paul "Jesus" Monroe, a member of the Hilltop, who escorted the family to the gated community. Hugh would eventually become a recruiter for the Hilltop alongside Jesus. Leah and Penelope, his wife and sister would become vegetable harvesters while his son, Jackson would be an apprentice blacksmith working for Earl Sutton.

Season 5
Hugh is first seen alongside his family inside the Hilltop. He greets Jesus and is introduced to Rick's group, bonding particularly with Glenn. Hugh and Jesus escort the group to their leader while explaining the history of the Hilltop along the way. After the group meets Gregory, he goes outside with Gregory, Rick and Cameron when informed that Ethan has arrived. Hugh tries to subdue Ethan after he stabs Gregory in the stomach, but is overpowered. He watches in shock as Rick shoves Ethan's own knife into his throat.

Hugh is later seen discussing about the Saviors with Rick's group inside the Barrington house. He warns Rick that the Saviors are a force to be reckoned with, are heavily armed to the teeth and should not be taken lightly. Hugh is last seen loading Rick's van with various supplies, wishing luck to him before leaving with Jesus and Kal. He is not seen for the rest of the season.
