Laurent is Isabelle’s nephew who’s highly intelligent for his age. He is considered by religious zealots to be a living messiah who will lead making into an “age of renewal.” Daryl is apprehensive of this belief and considers the people revering him as suffering from maladaptive coping towards the apocalypse.
