Negan Smith

Negan Smith (pronounced NEE-gan) is a main character and a former antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He was the former leader of the Saviors. He used his authority and resources to subjugate other communities tribute to the Saviors, in exchange for protection against walkers. After a war against the Militia of his formerly subjugated communities, he was defeated, which ended up with Daryl Dixon taking charge of the Saviors, now willing to cooperate with the communities before its disbanding. He was taken as a prisoner to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, receiving a life sentence.
Negan remained imprisoned in Alexandria for seven and a half years, until Gabriel Stokes failed to properly close his cell door, allowing him to escape. After seeing how the world had changed, Negan chose to return to Alexandria and his cell rather than be alone. He has also developed a close bond with Judith Grimes and his grandchildren Alek and Lucy Walsh, TJ Williams, and Cecelia Oliva. After saving Lucy during a massive blizzard, Negan was allowed to take on a role in the community under supervision.
After accidentally killing Margo while protecting Lydia, and facing a death sentence, Negan is freed from his cell by Carol Peletier, and sent to infiltrate the Whisperers and kill their leader, Alpha. He served as the primary antagonist of the second half of Season 6, and the whole of Season 7 and Season 8, but has also been present as a recurring antagonist, bordering on anti-hero, since Season 9.
Negan is the husband of the late, Lucille Oliva, father of the late Nora Santos and Mariana Walsh. He is the grandfather of Alek and Lucy Walsh, TJ Williams, Cecelia, Glenn and Lori Oliva, and Sasha Santos.
