Summary
insert inThe Walking Dead : The Ones Who Liveseries premiere , Okafor is instantly relate to key events inThe Walking Dead’shistory , including one from the show ’s very first season . Played by Craig Tate , Donald Okafor was describe as a high - ranking phallus of theCivic Republic Military , making him a prominent figure within the strong known force inThe Walking Deadfranchise . However , that ’s not to say he ’s a true baddie in the same vein as his associates and superior .
amazingly , Okafor did n’t survive hisWalking Deaddebut . The character met an unseasonable ending at the end ofThe Walking Dead : The one Who Liveseries premiere when his and Rick ’s helicopter was shoot down . Despite his death , Okafor is shown to be an important character , as the sequence makes him the accelerator for Rick Grimes ' new risky venture in the enfranchisement . Not only that , but it sprain out in the show thatOkafor played a secret hand inThe Walking Dead’sstoryin two different ways .
Okafor Is The Reason Rick Grimes Hasn’t Been Killed By The CRM
As explained by Okafor himself , Rick ’s survival up to this point inThe walk Deadtimelineis owed to Craig Tate ’s character . In his discussion with Rick and Thorne , Okafor provided a thoroughgoing explanation for whatAs and Bs are in the macrocosm ofThe Walking Dead , say thatRick was an A , someone " unforced to break down for what they consider in . “Okafor explained that while the CRM snatch Bs , they defeat As . Apparently , they view As as threats , believing that they can get people to follow them .
InThe Walking Deadseason 9 , Jadis rest to the CRM when she told them that Rick was a B.
As an A , Rick was someone the CRM would typically want do away with . Beale know that Okafor made a " compelling argumentation " for Rick to be let into the metropolis , even though this normally would n’t be set aside . in camera , Okafor was convince that Rick could help him bring " modification " to the CRM . It was for this reason that Okafor - acting behind the scene - took steps to check that Rick was n’t killed by the CRM .
Okafor using his pull in the CRM to keep Rick alive provides a proper explanation to the mystery of Rick ’s survival of the fittest ; since it ’s been known sinceThe Walking Dead’sendingthat Rick has tried to scarper the CRM , there ’s been much speculation as to why the CRM has n’t just killed him . After all , his escape attempts intend he ’s been more of a indebtedness than an asset to their causal agency . All along , it would seem , Rick was a cog in Okafor ’s masterplan .
Okafor Was Involved In The Walking Dead’s Atlanta Bombing
In addition to his role in the CRM ’s decisiveness not to kill Rick , Okafor was also heavily involved in another major incident inThe take the air Dead’spast , the bombing of Atlanta . In season 1 , it was revealed the U.S. armed services dropped bombs on Atlanta .

Okafor allow in that he played a part in what happened that Clarence Day . As a fellow member of the military machine , Okafor participated in the bombing of Atlanta , as well as Los Angeles .
Before link up withMajor General Beale and the CRM , Okafor was with the Air Force , and under order , bombed the two cities , even though - as he said to Rick - he recognized that the citizenry there died " for nothing . " The CRM themselves have utter disapproval of the Atlanta bombing , with Beale calling the people who did it " monsters . "

Okafor , as an military officer in the Air Force , had a great pot of dominance prior to his tie-up with the CRM . The authority he have got was reflected by the story told to Rick by both Beale and Okafor . Beale explicate that he had the " power " to go against orders and stop the bombardment of Philadelphia , one of the cities he was mean to destroy .
He changed course when it come time to flush it Philadelphia . Instead of let loose unpointed destruction on yet another urban center , Okafor bombed the military or else , killing 4000 Marines . Beale articulate Okafor " trade face . " Beale assign this decision to the preservation of what the CRM has today . This is because , agree to Beale , the CRM was originally the Pennsylvanian National Guard , which was in Philadelphia . They would n’t have grown into what they are now , or have establish their hush-hush understructure if it was n’t for what Okafor did .
Based on Okafor ’s built-in role in the natural selection of the force that would become the CRM , it ’s not surprising that his actions - fuse with his military experience - helped him achieve a in high spirits social station in the CRM .

Major General Beale is the only established CRM phallus do it to have more power than him inThe Walking Deaduniverse .

Okafor disagree with the modus operandi of the CRM , which he describes as " being the monsters to struggle the monsters . " He consider that following this mindset " ca n’t last . "
Okafor ’s foe to what the CRM presently stands for is why he wants to use Rick to change it . He knows that can never take place with the body structure it has in blank space since it dictate that anyone willing to " go bad for what they consider in " are drink down . Okafor arranged for Rick and Thorne , both As , to survive , in the hopes that they can facilitate this alteration for him by secure high positions in the CRM .

This has start the CRM to continue on the same form for years . Okafor is likely the only one with ideals . But if there were other corresponding - minded citizenry work at the top of the CRM , it ’s not insufferable that it could become a force for practiced inThe walk Dead : The Ones Who Live .
