Dwight is a major character in Image Comics' The Walking Dead, appearing in of Volume 17: Something to Fear. He was a former member of The Saviors, serving as Negan’s lieutenant. However, due to personal grudges against him, he defected from the Saviors and began assisting Rick Grimes in his rebellion against Negan’s oppression.

==Appearance==
Dwight is a middle-aged white man, somewhere in his mid 30s. His most notable physical characteristic is the large burn mark that he has on the left side of his face, caused by Negan pushing a hot iron against it. Dwight’s left eyelid is also burned off because of the torture, causing his left eye to always be exposed. Dwight furthermore has long untidy brown hair and a short scruffy beard that is connected to long sideburns. He is of average height and has a decently strong build. On both his arms, numerous tattoos can be seen that are composed of numerous unconnected designs. 
==Personality==
During his initial introduction, Dwight was portrayed as a hostile and aggressive enforcer for the Saviors. Showcasing himself as a high-ranking, yet unwilling follower of Negan, carrying out his orders and aggressively imposing him and his group’s dominance over other survivors. Dwight would continually demonstrate himself as extremely violent and lethal, having no problems with using intimidation tactics and murder to establish dominance.
However, it was shown that Dwight’s more aggressive tendencies was caused by his unwilling position within Negan’s ranks. Clearly having displayed a complete lack of loyalty to the Savior’s code and Negan, mainly due to personal grudges against him, as Negan took Dwight’s wife Sherry away from him, who is the only person he cared for at the time. It is overall established that Dwight is very in tune with his personal feelings and convictions, which he bases most of his decisions of, whether it is helpful or destructive toward others. 
Eventually, Dwight’s personal grudges and conflicted feelings regarding his position made him defect from being a part of Negan’s force. Eventually making him a key part in The Milita's revolution against the Saviors, and while this was mainly done out of petty resentment towards Negan, he does genuinely change after the time skip. 
After the war with the Saviors is over. Dwight became considerably more affable towards others, and It was shown that Dwight's personal values have changed for the better, caring about keeping a good bond between the surviving communities.

===Past===
Dwight was born in the early 70s within the United States of America, and presumably lived somewhere on the east coast. When Dwight became an adult, he joined the military and also married a woman named Sherry. Dwight also started working with crossbows at some point in time, which he started to use during the beginning of the apocalypse. 
Once the zombie outbreak happened, Dwight and Sherry traveled together and came to meet many different people, whom they started to travel with. It is unknown what happened to Dwight’s other family members, however. 
===Here’s Negan===
A couple of months into the apocalypse. Dwight meets Negan in a forest and is allowed to accompany him. The two briefly chat about Dwight’s crossbow for a bit, until it gets dark, and Dwight decides to bring Negan to his camp. The two arrive, and while Dwight wants to introduce Negan to the names of his new companions, he’s seemingly uninterested and tells everyone to continue with what they’re doing.
