Gov is just a power hungry cunt who'll anything to gain more power. Basically a dictator.

That's why I struggle with the character, really. He kills innocent people but is fiercely protective of the people of Woodbury? He seems to care deeply about those around him. I mean, look at the way he spoke to the old man. All the residents clearly respect him rather than fear him. Hell, look at the "soldiers" at Woodbury. Most of them don't seem like psychos but they'll do whatever the Governor asks. Merle won't even bust the Governor (yet...) in front of the crowds, who clearly don't know the Governor is a psychotic killer.
It's quite clear what sort of person he is in the comic almost right away. There is no redeeming quality to the Governor there. He's despicable from the beginning. It'll be interesting to see how they develop him in the show but as it stands...all the shit that's going to go down could've been solved with...
