Ed Peletier was a minor character and supporting antagonist in The Walking Dead TV series. He was a violent and abusive man towards his wife Carol, and it was hinted that he had sexually abused his daughter Sophia. He dominated Carol by making her wear unattractive clothes and to keep her hair short, so that other men would not look at her. One afternoon he had an argument with the women of the camp and struck Carol. Shane, who was watching from a distance, dragged Ed away and proceeded to savagely beat him. Later that evening, hiding in his tent recovering, Ed was savaged by a walker. The next morning after the attack on the camp, Carol took revenge on her deceased husband by smashing his head in with a pick axe.
