| “ | Back east, there was a fight-- a big fight... I didn't know how to make it stop. Good people died. I lose people, and then I lose myself. | ” |
— Morgan speaking about the war against the Saviors |
Morgan Jones is a major character in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth seasons of Fear the Walking Dead. He is portrayed by Lennie James.
Morgan is a survivor from Georgia who traveled west in search of meaning in his life. In the fourth season, he arrives in Texas and finds various survivors, and some from the Dell Diamond Baseball Stadium. Morgan ends up forming a group with them in order to help other people.
Pre-Apocalypse[]

Some time after the apocalypse, Morgan and his family packed up and started heading for Atlanta, where FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) had set up a safe zone. Unfortunately, they never made it, as Jenny got infected in King County, Georgia. After Jenny's death, Morgan and Duane stayed on in King County, where they eventually ran into Rick Grimes. They stayed on after Rick left.
At some point after Rick left, Duane got infected. Morgan had a mental breakdown after losing both his wife and son. When Rick met him again, Morgan was barley functioning. After Rick left for a second time, Morgan seemed to have improved somewhat and set out from King County. On his journeys, he met a former forensic psychologist named Eastman who taught Morgan the maxim that would be his life goal- to help others. After Eastman's death, Morgan continued on his journey, finally meeting up with Rick in Virginia.
After a massive fight, Morgan left Virginia, finally arriving in Texas where he finally met the people who would form Morgan’s Group.
