The CRM is coming... and they're led by one woman: Elizabeth (Julia Ormond).

It's been years since the helicopter took a grievously wounded Rick Grimes off in a shocking ending to Rick's tenure on TWD, and it's been even longer since helicopters first began buzzing above the heads of the survivors of the TWD universe. Thankfully the helicopter-flying organization is finally coming into focus now that The Walking Dead: World Beyond is here.

As Nico Tortorella (Felix) put it while speaking with Chris Hardwick on Talking Dead, "We have a lot of helicopters on our show, and for the first time we get to really meet who's inside those helicopters and where they're coming from."

They're coming from the CRM, and while she's not flying them herself, Elizabeth is directing the traffic, so to speak.

Scott Gimple, speaking during The Walking Dead: World Beyond Comic-Con@Home panel, echoed that sentiment, saying, the CRM is "a huge part of the show. We find out a great deal about them. They are a very mysterious force. Their security and the community they keep secure are incredibly secretive. Regardless, we go into that community a little bit... we straight up meet people from the CRM... we see Elizabeth... it explains a lot about what we've seen on the other shows."

So what do we know so far about the CRM's mysterious leader? We've already broken down what we know about Felix, Huck, Iris, Hope, Elton, and Silas. Elizabeth is next in our series, as we explore everything there is to learn about the characters of The Walking Dead: World Beyond:

Who Is Elizabeth?

Elizabeth is a charismatic leader of a large, sophisticated, and formidable force, known as the CRM. Within the world of The Walking Dead, the CRM works with Anne to abduct survivors, who are sorted "A" or "B." On Fear the Walking Dead, we get a taste of their devotion to the cause of rebuilding society with Isabelle, who says: "We are a force who are not living for ourselves or for now. You have your stories, already making every day the past. We have the future."

Elizabeth is a key component in this plan for the future.

According to Ormond, "She’s another kind of community leader... she’s more in the pragmatic zone. For me, the pragmatism that some of the characters have is really about devoting yourself to the future of the human race – not even the planet. The planet is going to survive, but it’s the human race that’s at risk. What role do you take? What tactics do you sign up for? The buck has to stop somewhere."

At Comic-Con@Home, Ormond called the CRM a "quite authoritarian community." The other survivors on the show meet Ormond and the CRM with varying degrees of skepticism. Hope says in a teaser for The Walking Dead: World Beyond that "they're not good people!"

As for the cast's views on Elizabeth, Nicholas Cantu finds her "intimidating," and Alexa Mansour goes even further calling the CRM leader "scary." Ormond sees her a different way and says Elizabeth is "sweet and kind."
