Bud

Your property now belongs to Negan.*"

## Biography

### Post-Apocalypse

At some point Bud eventually encountered Negan to whom he then joined the group dubbed the Saviors, upon where he became one of his lieutenants. He aided his leader in terrorizing other survivors and communities into subjugating to Negan's will (including encountering and ambushing innocent survivors they encountered on the road). Bud and his group enjoyed demonstrating their superiority to other travelling survivors.

#### Season 6

##### Start to Finish

    As Daryl Dixon, Abraham Ford and Sasha Williams continue their drive back to Alexandria Safe-Zone after briefly being separated the day before, they are stopped by Bud, Timmy and other armed Saviors. He informs the trio that their truck, weapons, and all other supplies now belong to his leader, Negan.

##### No Way Out

Bud takes the trio's weapons and orders Timmy to make Daryl open the back of the truck. He informs Sasha and Abraham that his group of Saviors will be escorted back to wherever they call home and not to ask any questions. Abraham asks him who Negan is and Bud pulls a gun on Abraham. Sasha

    tries to reason with him and so he takes out another gun, now pointing at both of them. After a moment of holding the two at gunpoint in silence, he lowers the guns and says he won't kill either of them. However, Bud changes his mind after a moment and pulls the guns on them once again, though before he can kill either, he and his entire group are blown up with a rocket launcher by Daryl.

## Killed Victims

* Numerous counts of zombies and unnamed people

## Relationships

### Negan

Bud was never shown on-screen with Negan although it was evident that he was completely loyal to him, and more than willing to rob and kill other survivors for their supplies on behalf of his leader. It is possible he was one of Negan's close associates as he was shown leading a well-armed group of seven other Saviors during their run-in with Daryl, Sasha and Abraham. Negan personally kills Abraham, as revenge for the deaths of his people including Bud. However later, after Negan found the RPG used to kill Bud and his group in Alexandria, he calls his gang the "dick brigade", and his flippant attitude about his death implies that Negan did not like him personally.

## Quotes

* "That's great. Going well right out of the gate. Now step two, hand over your weapons. Well, there not yours. Your property now belongs to Negan. If you can get your hands on a tanker, your people our person wants to know. So let's get those sidearms shall we. Right now. Thank you. Thank you."
* "If you have to eat shit, best not to nimble. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat. Goes quicker."
* "I get the curiosity, but we have questions ourselves and we'll be the ones asking them while we drive you back to wherever it is you call home. Take a gander where you hang your hats. First though, your shit...what have you got for us? Come on. I mean can we not? Ok? There's more, there's always more. T, take my man to the back of the truck and start inside the back bumper, work your way to the front. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat."
* "Ding dong, hell's bells. You see usually we introduce ourselves by popping one of your right off the bat. But you seem like reasonable people, your sporting dress blues for christ's sake! And like I said, we were gonna drive you back to where you were. I mean, do you know how awkward it is carpooling with someone who's friend or friends you just killed? But I told you not to ask any questions and then what does this ginger do? So that's that. I don't want you to get the wrong impression of me."
* "No, your not. I'm not gonna kill you. Wait, wait...you know what, yes I am."
