Martinez (full name in the comic book series: Caesar Ramón Martínez) is a recurring fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and was portrayed by Jose Pablo Cantillo in the third and fourth seasons of the television show of the same name. Martínez is introduced in the 27th issue of the comic book series in April 2006 as the loyal second-in-command to The Governor. He is responsible for bringing Rick Grimes and two of his fellow survivors, Michonne and Glenn into Woodbury to be questioned and later tortured. In the television series, he is introduced in the third season's third episode to Andrea and Michonne as one of The Governor's soldiers.

In the television series, Martínez is not as subservient to The Governor, being distraught and shocked over some of his actions and even sees the conflict between Woodbury and the prison as pointless, ultimately defecting from The Governor after he murders his entire army. He becomes the leader of his own camp of survivors after Woodbury is abandoned, which includes Tara and Lilly Chambler. Though he does have an ego and a survivalist mindset Martínez is reasonable enough to let new members into his group so long as they contribute.
