Lilly Caul is a fictional character from the comic book series, The Walking Dead. Created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Charlie Adlard, Lilly is a member of the Governor's militia. Despite briefly appearing in three issues, Lilly plays a crucial role in the prison assault, murdering Lori Grimes and her newborn daughter, as well as the Governor. Details of her past are revealed in the novel series written by Kirkman, as well as her later role in leading the community Woodbury.
In the fourth season of American television series, Lilly is amalgamated with April Chalmers in the novels into Lilly Chambler, a mother and a nurse who forms a relationship with The Governor, and plays the same role in killing The Governor. The character's fate is different. She is portrayed by Audrey Marie Anderson.
In the comics and novels, Lilly is a young woman in her thirties. She always dreamed of working as a fashion stylist, but she never did, because her fears prevented her. In the TV series, Lilly is displayed as being significantly older and both a nurse and mother. In all three media, she is a member of The Governor's entourage.
Lilly appears very briefly in the comic series. She, along with other townsfolk from the community of Woodbury are rallied against a group at the prison led by Rick Grimes after they are made out by Philip Blake / The Governor to be savages and a threat to their well-being. Once arriving at the prison and engaging in an intense firefight, she is ordered by Philip to kill Lori Grimes. After shooting them, Lilly is horrified to discover that Lori had been holding a baby [Judith] while attempting to escape and crushed Judith. When a large crowd of zombies breaks through into the prison yard, Lilly shoots The Governor in the back of the head as revenge for forcing her to kill a mother and child. She throws his body to the horde while attempting to lead the remnants of the Woodbury survivors into the prison. Lilly's continued adventures are presented in the Walking Dead novels.
