## Relationships

### Negan

Negan and Gary had little interaction on-screen, but it appeared to be a normal relationship. Negan was infuriated upon learning of the Scavengers being massacred by Gary, along with Simon and fellow Saviors. When Simon infers that Negan is most likely dead, Gary appears to be somewhat saddened and concerned with his leader's whereabouts. However, Gary's true loyalty relays to Simon as he joins an attempted coup led by him with the plan to kill Negan, so Simon could usurp power. Gary and the conspirators except for Simon and Gregory were gunned down by Arat, D.J. and Norris on Negan's command, after Dwight tipped him off. Negan smashes Gary's head in before he can reanimate, showing no remorse for his demise.

### Simon

Gary and Simon appear to have a good relationship with each other. Gary respects Simon as second-in-command of the Saviors while Simon appears to trust him as his own personal right-hand man. When Gary travels with Simon to the junkyard, he doesn't hesitate when Simon orders him and his fellow Saviors to kill every Scavenger except for Jadis. Gary's loyalty to Simon ended up causing his death at Negan's command.
