What Changed During the Time Jump on The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Is an Entirely Different Universe Post-Rick — Here's What Changed
2
Similar to how the Kingdom has its monarchy, Alexandria now has its version of a democracy. The council is composed of elected officials that include Father Gabriel, Aaron, Siddiq, and Michonne. While we don't know what everyone's official role within the council is yet, we do know that Michonne is the head of security and she takes it very seriously. While it seems like the council is a well-intentioned way for decisions to be made without bias, it's also obvious that certain people have a heavier influence than others, such as Michonne, which makes sense considering she was the one Rick wanted to lead in his stead.
