Siddiq (pronounced SID-DEEK) is a survivor of the outbreak in Skybound Entertainment's Comic Universe. He is a minor character in The Walking Dead: Michonne and a supporting character in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is the former First Mate of the Companion and a former resident of Oceanside who now resides in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, now working with the construction crew inside the community.

Overview[]

Siddiq is a very friendly, helpful, kind-hearted and reliable man. He always helps out around The Companion wherever he can and looks out for his allies. Compared to Oak's cynicism, Siddiq is much more understanding of Pete's optimistic mindset about others. After joining Alexandria Safe-Zone after the events of The Walking Dead: Michonne, Siddiq worked his way up to become a very prominent member of the community. Due to his strength and hard-working nature, Siddiq became a member of the construction crew, which he appears be in charge of. He is also very brave, as he joins the Militia to help fight against the Whisperers.

However, inside Siddiq holds an immense guilt and shame, as he and Rosita had an affair behind Eugene's back. Rosita becomes pregnant, and Eugene assumes it is his when it is actually Siddiq's. Later after Rosita's death, Siddiq comes clean to Eugene. He admits that he had kept it a secret because he thought he was protecting Eugene, when in reality he was protecting himself. While Eugene is initially angry, he understands and forgives him.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Miami, Florida[]

Siddiq was living in or around Miami, Florida at the time of the outbreak.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Miami, Florida[]

Sometime after the outbreak he began making his way up the east coast and discovered a community called Oceanside, who conduct regular fishing expeditions. He was a resident of Oceanside, and member of Pete's crew before meeting Michonne Hawthorne.

Michonne[]

Two weeks before the events of the game, he is present on Pete's ship laughing at Berto's horrible jokes. He then settles down so the crew can play cards.

"In Too Deep"[]

Siddiq is first seen on the deck of The Companion along with Berto. Michonne saves him as a loose sail threatens to sweep him off his feet and potentially knock him off the boat. He is present when Michonne is walking the deck of the boat, scanning the horizon. He is left behind on the boat when Michonne and Pete leave to investigate The Mobjack.

"What We Deserve"[]

Siddiq appears outside the house a few hours after the events of the last episode with Oak and Berto, in Norma's custody. Norma talks with Michonne about a trade offer, revealing Pete (Determinant) and the rest of her friends as well. She proposes they trade, Randall for her friends. As a way of showing she is genuine, she frees Pete straight away or fires a flare to reveal the crew to Michonne. (Determinant)

The two parties debate the trade, Michonne having Sam show a bag covered Randall to show/feign he's alive. As they talk, Jonas or Gabby (Determinant) express anger and a desire for retribution for what happened at Monroe. Norma tries to calm them to no avail; they kill Berto, creating a panic in the debate, Siddiq is left horrified at the death of his friend. Norma apologizes for their actions, trying to calm the situation. However, Walkers heard the gunshot and begin to approach the group. The exchange can take various forms:

Randall is alive, Michonne makes the trade: Michonne removes the bag off of Randall, enraging Norma upon seeing how heavily beaten he is. Regardless, Norma allows Oak and Siddiq to be freed, the pair hiding behind the gate. Randall is shoved to Norma, the women cutting him free of his bindings as more Walkers appear. Once freed, Randall charges at Michonne and tackles her. In self defense, Michonne or Sam (Determinant) kills him. Norma is deeply angered, ordering her group to attack them.

Randall is a Walker, Michonne makes the trade: Michonne leaves the bag on Randall's head, shoving him towards Norma. Norma allows Oak and Siddiq to be returned. As she removes the bag from Randall's head, she realizes he is a walker. She puts him down, quickly ordering her group to attack Michonne and the others.

Randall is a Walker/alive, Michonne does not make the trade: Due to the growing tensions, Michonne calls the trade off. Angered, Norma shoots Oak in the stomach, causing Pete to instinctively shoot Jonas dead. In the commotion, Randall tries to break free from Sam or is thrown forward (Determinant), promptly shot by her. Norma goes to attack but is kicked down by Oak. Siddiq makes it inside as Norma orders her group attack.

Randall is a Walker/alive, Michonne signals Paige: Michonne seizes the moment, signaling Paige to kill Norma. She takes a shot, successfully hitting Norma in the shoulder. Her companions are shocked at the attempted killing, shooting at the group. Oak knocks Norma down as he runs, ensuring that he and Siddiq make it to the house alive. The scene now plays out as if the player verbally refused to trade.

Siddiq flees to the house. Once there, he is given a pistol by Pete to defend the house with. Shortly after, the house is set a blaze by a barrage of Molotovs. Siddiq flees upstairs eventually making it out of the house through a window. He meets up with the others outside, soon fleeing the scene with them.

Shortly after, Siddiq decided he was done with the seafaring life and decided to leave Pete's crew. Michonne pointed him in the direction of Alexandria while she continued to stay onboard. Siddiq eventually found Alexandria and informed Rick of Oceanside's existence.

A New Beginning[]

Siddiq is leading a construction crew to build rooms for new travelers, and is first seen working on a pathway outside the safe-zone. He is greeted by Andrea, who remarks she expected more progress in the construction. Siddiq defends himself saying Rosita took half of his crew for herd-duty, as half his best workers are also his best riders. Siddiq assures Andrea that it will be done in time for the fair, as they're almost working on the clock. Andrea asks Siddiq how he is doing on supplies, and Siddiq informs her that they overshot the lumber so they'll have leftovers, however they are tight on nails. As Rosita rides in, she remarks that she didn't think that'd it be this bad, only being gone for five days, and Siddiq tells her that she took his hardest workers, and with Wesley and Delbert alone they could've done twice what they had done.

Life And Death[]

Siddiq is deep in construction for the fair and briefly meets with Andrea.

Call To Arms[]

Siddiq is seen with the rest of the Militia shooting roamers to practice for the war with the Whisperers. He does well while Vincent almost dies. He returns back to Alexandria.

Sometime after, Paula rushes to the gate where Siddiq and Annie are on patrol. They both ask her what she is doing at the gate; however, she avoids the question, and tells them to wait for Rick to arrive. As they attempt to further question her, Rick and Michonne walk up to the gate, where Siddiq and Annie learn that Negan has escaped.

He is later seen looking out for Michonne and Aaron. Rick approaches and asks Siddiq to report straight to him if he sees something. Siddiq says he will, and that Rick will be the first to know.

The Whisperer War[]

Siddiq is sent to the Oceanside to recruit fighters for the war, however Pete denies him as they cannot spare any members. Before departing Pete tells Siddiq to be safe and that he is welcome to join back with the crew after the war is over.

A Certain Doom[]

When the massive herd led by the Whisperers reaches Alexandria, Siddiq is one of the survivors at the front lines fighting back the zombies that reach the gate. When the gate comes crashing down and the herd overwhelms them, Siddiq and Annie seek refuge in Eugene Porter's house. While hiding in the house, they find Eugene's radio and soon thereafter hear the voice of Stephanie. Siddiq responds to Stephanie, and Stephanie goes mute. Siddiq and Annie then try to thin out some of the herd outside the house.

Lines We Cross[]

Siddiq leaves for Ohio in search of Stephanie and her community with Eugene, Michonne, Magna and Yumiko. During one night when he is on lookout duty he is attacked by zombies, everyone else saves him. When they arrive in Pittsburgh Siddiq is starting to show a lot of guilt, Eugene notices and confronts him when they settle down for the night. Siddiq breaks down revealing that Rosita loved him, that she was going to leave Eugene for him, Eugene forgives him, and not holding a grudge.

Before leaving Pittsburgh, Siddiq and the group encounter Juanita Sanchez, whom eventually conveniences the group to bring her along. They all eventually make it to Ohio and are confronted by the Commonwealth.

New World Order[]

Siddiq and everyone are questioned by Lance Hornsby before they are brought to the Commonwealth. Upon arrival they can see a football stadium and Siddiq is happy to learn that they play football there. Siddiq later accidentally overhears a conversation between Mercer and George, where the two complain about Pamela Milton and her son, Sebastian, being in charge of the Commonwealth and imply they would like to take over. Whilst George is initially hostile towards Siddiq, Mercer calmly explains he was merely blowing off steam and is able to calm Siddiq down. Siddiq accepts this explanation and leaves, albeit somewhat awkwardly.

The Rotten Core[]
