Negan (TV Series)

**Negan**is a main character and antagonist in AMC's The Walking Dead, being the main antagonist of season six, seven and eight. He is the leader of the Saviors, a hostile group of outbreak survivors that are pitted against Rick Grimes' group, and has been the biggest and most dangerous threat that Rick and his group has ever faced.

## Personality

Negan is a cruel, charismatic, manipulative, brutal and a ferocious sociopathatic man with a sarcastic, inappropriate sense of humor. Negan is a brilliant strategist and a strong, effective leader, having kept hundreds of people alive and is worshipped by many and feared by others. He appears to have complete control over his vast group and is questioned by no one, acting as a complete tyrant. Negan acts like a cult leader, as the Saviors all kneel in his presence and when asked who they are, they all respond in unison "Negan". Negan appears to care about the well-being of his group.

Negan is extremely ruthless and will do whatever it takes to obtain resources and supplies for his group by extorting from multiple communities, threatening them with death if they do not obey his demands or do not supply the necessary amount of supplies. Negan is shown to be a completely remorseless, cold-blooded killer who kills not just for survival, but to send a message and as punishment for disobedience. He also explains that he wants to help people through their weaknesses and by being strong he makes the world strong. This may be why Negan uses fear as an instrument to keep people in line and by being hard on people he makes them stronger and more inclined to survive.

He is also shown to be capable of severe torture and will mutilate whoever does not follow his rules such as burning faces with a hot clothing iron. Negan has however stated that he hates performing this form of punishment, but sees it as necessary as his rules matter. Negan will also employ psychological forms of torture and is also highly prone to psychological warfare and is extremely good at manipulating and breaking most people into submitting to him. Furthermore, Negan has openly admitted that he enjoys killing people, especially men, while he does not enjoy killing women but he will kill a woman if he feels that he has to. Negan doesn't kill unless he feels that it's necessary because to him, people are a resource. Negan appears that he is not above killing children and adolescents.

Despite his jolly, childlike behavior, Negan is a genius bruiser and is incredibly good at reading people and exploiting their weaknesses. He is also very good at knowing when people are lying, most of the time at least. Negan also has an unhealthy obsession with his primary weapon Lucille, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire and is shown speaking to it, referring to her as if she is a person and asking it to give him strength. Negan enjoys using Lucille to kill his victims, often using her excessively to install revulsion and terror into others.

Despite his brutal nature, Negan is not completely heartless as he demonstrates care and a love for babies and is against killing children under 10 years old. He also has a genuine disgust towards sexual violence and has made a strict "no rape" policy within his group and will execute anyone breaking this rule. However, he is not above coercing women, including other men's wives. He does claim, though, that the women are there "voluntarily" and can leave whenever they want, at the expense of going back to work for points and being on Negan's "shit list". He also gives second chances and can be very lenient as well as being a man of his word and has never told a lie or broken a promise, and he is always open and true to who he is and never tries to hide it.

In addition, Negan has great respect for those he views as strong, both physically and emotionally, and those who show bravery and defiance against him. Negan also shows a belief that killing a few to save a hundred is justified and believes that he alone can save everyone and appears to truly care for his people. He also refuses to harm the innocent and states that he sees himself as both strong and weak and appears to genuinely care about children, having helped them before the war.

## History

### Background

Negan was born in the mid 1960s and grew up in Virginia. He experienced a troublesome childhood where he grew into a bully in high school who enjoyed humiliating others, upon where he gained a strong perchant for profanity and a crude sense of humor. As an adult, he became a school teacher where he helped young students improve upon their weaknesses and molded them into stronger individuals. Negan later met a woman named Lucille where the pair fell in love and married, over time however, Negan gradually became unfaithful towards her as he constantly lied and even engaged in an affair.

In the onset of the outbreak, Negan was present alongside Lucille whom had succumbed to an unknown illness and eventually perished. Negan however was unable to bring himself to put his wife down, this act of weakness would continue to haunt him and thus Negan strived to become a much stonger person. Sometime later, he acquired a baseball bat and he modified the bat with barbed wire and named it "Lucille" in honor of his late wife. At some point later, Negan formed a group he named the Saviors, one notable member being Simon, whom Negan formed a firm loyalty and thus Negan later appointed him as his right-hand man, second-in command. Negan and his group discovered an abandoned factory where they managed to seize control and took residence inside, and which Negan established as his central headquarters as well as his personal home which he titled: the Sanctuary.

Over time, however, Negan gradually descended into a vicious, totalitarian leader who asserted his position of authority through forceful dominance and intimidation with whic,h he fiercely ruled over his community which mainly consisted of thugs and bandits who operated under his command. Throughout the following months, Negan and his group grew in size and he appointed several lieutenants including Wade, Paula, Jiro, Gavin, Arat, Regina, Bud and eventually Dwight; additionally, he established several outposts located throughout Washington D.C. are. These outposts operated semi-autonomously, led by a lieutenant and manned by a sizable number of Saviors. They were responsible for finding and terrorizing other survivors and communities, subjugating them to Negan's will. Typically, one outpost was assigned to at least one community under Savior rule.

Early on, Negan and his group discovered a community known as the Hilltop Colony. Immediately after the farming community's walls were built, Negan dispatched a group of Saviors, upon meeting their community leader, Gregory, the Saviors demanded half of the community's resources on a weekly basis. In exchange, they promised not to destroy the community and offered to clear the local area of the undead. Though the Hilltop was reluctant to comply, the Saviors showed their true motives by demonstrating their power, killing Rory, a 16 year old boy, as a display of superiority. Some time later, Negan became aware of the existence of another community, known as the Kingdom. A group of Saviors met with the community leader Ezekiel and demanded a portion of supplies in exchange for leaving the community unscathed. The Kingdom complied and the Saviors recognized Ezekiel's capabilities. A truce was quickly settled between the two groups and thus they conducted weekly trades which was kept hidden from the wider community's knowledge.

Also around this time, the Saviors had encountered and subjugated another, large group, under a similar extortion racket to that imposed on Hilltop and Kingdom. Sometime later, the Oceanside group rebelled against the Saviors but lost the subsequent skirmish, which resulted in many deaths. Afterwards, the Saviors lined up and killed every surviving male over 10 years old, then ordered the group to continue their service. Ultimately, the group, now consisting entirely of women and children, ended their deal with the Saviors by one night leaving their original settlement on foot. Despite his harsh and violent methods, Negan was incredibly successful and kept more than a hundred people alive.

### Season Six

Approximately 20 months into the apocalypse, a supply exchange was conducted between the Hilltop and the Saviors. When a group consisting of Ethan, Andy, Crystal, Craig, Tim and Marsha was sent to deliver their share of supplies, Negan personally felt unsatisfied with the amount he received and thus had both Tim and Marsha executed and Craig imprisoned in one of the Saviors' outposts. Negan ordered the remaining survivors to return to the Hilltop, and in exchange for Craig's release, kill Gregory and bring his head back as evidence of his death. This however never occured and soon after, Negan's group came under attack by Rick Grimes and his people in order to end the subjugation of the Hilltop Colony. Rick and his group succeeded in killing a great number of Negan's men and a few of his lieutenants and even wiped out one of his outposts. Negan chose to send Dwight to subjugate Rick and his people to his rule, and later Jiro, another of his lieutenants, but failed in doing so. Angered at the slaughter of many of his people, Negan chose to take matters into his own hands.

After Rick Grimes's group of the Alexandria Safe-Zone is captured by the Saviors following several roadblocks and a

    failed diversion on the way to the Hilltop Colony, Negan steps out of their RV and confronts them, introducing himself as the Saviors' true leader. Pacing back and forth before the group, he lectures them on their actions against his group and the "new world order", explaining that Rick's people owe Negan's men their supplies and that he will personally deal with them if they refuse.

He goes on to inform Rick that he is keeping his group alive as he intends to make them work for him however in retribution for Rick and his people killing many Saviors, Negan warns that he will have to kill one of them. He begins pacing up and down the line-up while considering his choice, and introduces Lucille, a wooden baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, as his weapon of choice. He threatens to put a visibly wrecked Maggie Greene out of her misery, but her husband Glenn Rhee lunges forward, only to be dragged back in line by Dwight. Negan commands them not to attempt that again or else he will shut it down with no exceptions.

Unable to decide who to execute, Negan ultimately comes up with an idea and begins pointing at each survivor with Lucille, chanting "eeny, meeny, miny, moe". Going up and down the line-up, he eventually stops on one survivor at random: Abraham Ford. As the rest of the group begin to yell in protest, Negan warns them not to interfere or he will cut Carl Grimes's other eye out and feed it to Rick. Negan then brings the bat down onto Abraham's head, causing him to bleed heavily. Negan stands over him as he recovers from his first blow before bringing down the bat again. As Abraham's sight goes to black, Negan is then heard mercilessly beating him repeatedly, with muffled screams and protests audible from the other Alexandrians.

### Season Seven

Rick witnesses Negan brutally beating Abraham to death much to everyone's horror. Negan then gleefully swings a bloody Lucille around, splattering some blood on Rick's face and after gloating to the group, he then strides over to Rosita Espinosa, having observed her particular reaction and taunting her with Abraham's remains, before he receives a right hook from Daryl Dixon, who has had enough of his insensitivity. As he reels from the hit, Daryl is subdued by several Saviors including Dwight. He quickly recovers and stops his men from hurting Daryl, deciding to let him live to see the consequences of his actions.

    Negan reminds the survivors of his earlier warning that he would "shut down" any kind of insubordination without exception and that he wants the group to know exactly who he is: a man of his word.  He then suddenly turns, bringing Lucille down powerfully on Glenn Rhee twice, splitting his head and causing him to bleed heavily and nearly lose an eye. Negan bends down to observe Glenn's state, taunting his feeble attempts to speak and pointing out the grevious damage to his head. After hearing him utter his final words to Maggie, Negan then shows a hint of remorse, apologizing to the rest of the distraught group for the effect that Glenn's impending demise is having on them. However, after reminding them that he had said there would be no exceptions to his punishment, Negan beats him to death until his head is nothing but flesh, bone and blood, all the while taunting the remaining survivors. After executing Glenn, he exclaims that "Lucille is a vampire bat" and strolls over to the other survivors, asking if the joke was bad.

After seeing Negan kill two members of his own party, Rick promises the Saviors' leader that he will kill him someday. Amused, Negan acts surprised by his declaration before inquiring Simon, his right-hand man, about the weapons found on Rick's being, being informed that they had found a hatchet. Negan stresses to Rick the importance of having a right-hand man in his group, asking if he has/had one of his own. He then tells Simon to give him Rick's hatchet and standing up, Negan grabs Rick by the collar and drags him to the RV, viciously announcing that he will return and if Rick isn't with him, his men will have permission to kill the rest of Rick's group.

He drives Rick's axe into the table before taunting Rick over the fact that he vowed to kill him. Negan takes note of the time of day, noticing that the sun is rising before heading to the front of the vehicle. While having his back turned, Negan challenges Rick to grab the hatchet and drive it into the back of his head; Rick grabs the axe and lunges at Negan, who brandishes his assault rifle and knocks Rick to the floor. Driving the axe back onto the table, Negan warns Rick not to make him get up again.

Negan then drives the RV back to the roadblocks with the burning logs, parking under the overpass next to the hanging survivor, who has since turned. He then takes Rick's hatchet, assuming ownership of it, before throwing it on the roof of the RV, asking Rick to retrieve it. As Rick reluctantly obeys, Negan shoves him out of the vehicle into the herd of walkers that has accumulated in response to the flames. Rick manages to make it to the roof with difficulty, before becoming immobilized due to his memories of the events that occured the previous night.

Negan informs Rick that while people die every day, his people do not have to if he would only conform to Negan's rule. Growing impatient with Rick's immobility, Negan gives him one final chance to retrieve his hatchet before firing several warning shots through the roof of the RV, causing Rick to spring to action and grab hold of the hanging survivor, losing the axe in the process. Just when hope seems lost for Rick, who is almost completely lowered into the hungry herd, Negan shoots down all of the walkers in Rick's area, saving him, before leading him back to the RV. He continues to taunt Rick, declaring that more of his people will die if he continues to act defiant. Rick retrieves the hatchet and makes it through the dense smoke to the RV, but finds it locked, Negan having locked him outside to further test and torture him. At the last moment, Negan puts down the incoming walkers and allows Rick entry. Rick begrudgingly hands the hatchet over to Negan, who commends him on his efforts.

Driving back to the clearing, Negan once again gleefully mocks Rick and the deaths of his people. After cleaning the axe with a blanket and Rick's jacket, Negans hands him the hatchet, excitedly telling him that he has a good feeling Rick will need it. Rick reluctantly takes the weapon before he is forcefully dragged out of the RV and back to his group. Negan then questions Rick on whether or not he knew the purpose of the trip they had taken. He explains that he was attempting to break Rick into complying with Negan's way of living, as he saw defiance in his eyes, and defiance would only result in more conflict. He declares that Rick has failed his test and asks if he should give him another chance, to which Rick says yes. Negan then commences a final test of compliance, asking for guns to be drawn to the back of each survivor's head, specifically aimed in a way that the bullet would exit through their noses, creating a "real mess".

Negan then orders an angered Carl Grimes to walk forward and he then ties his belt around Carl's left arm as a tourniquet, asking Carl if he is left-handed to which he replies that he isn't. Once he has tied the tourniquet around his arm, Negan asks Carl to lay next to Rick. After acquiring a pen from Simon, he then marks a black line across Carl's forearm. Noticing Rick's pleas to not go through with what he believes he is planning to do, Negan turns to him before confirming that he doesn't doing anything.

Standing up, Negan orders Rick to pick up the hatchet and chop Carl's arm off at the marked line, giving specific directions to how to make the cut to ensure that the Saviors' doctor can properly seal the wound later. Negan threatens to kill his group, Carl, all of the Alexandrian citizens and eventually, Rick, if he does not comply. Michonne  attempts to come to Carl's defense, saying that the group is subjugated; Negan brushes this claim off, saying that the group may understand how the world works, but Rick does not. Noticing that Rick is indecisive, Rick attempts to do everything in his power to avoid mutilating his son, even going as far as to offer himself up to Negan in Carl's place, but he is rejected. Seeing that Rick is showing extreme hesitance, Negan grows impatient and begins to count from 3, causing Rick to panic and wail. As Negan reaches 1, Rick, screaming in anguish, picks up the hatchet and raises it above his head, ready to bring it down on Carl's arm before he is stopped at the last second.

Negan declares to Rick that he answers to, provides for and belongs to him. When he sees that Rick is compliant but silent, Negan angrily grapples him, yelling that he should speak when spoken to before repeating his commands for Rick to properly acknowledge. Seeing that he has finally broken Rick and that he is now submissive to his rule, Negan cheerfully declares this to be a productive day, thanking the rest of the group, including the now-deceased, for their participation. Negan then orders for Daryl to be taken back with them as a prisoner because he likes Daryl's bravery and wants him to become a member of the Saviors. Negan also informs Rick that any further insubordination will result in the mutilation of Daryl either by his or Rick's hands. Before leaving, Negan leaves a truck with the survivors for them to cart the supplies they owe to the Saviors in the following week. He welcomes the group into his new order, warning them to never betray him before leaving them in shambles.

Negan then appears wandering around the Sanctuary's garden area and Dwight, among other Saviors in the area, kneel before Negan as he passes. Negan later approaches Dwight, who has Daryl in custody, and encourages him to be pulled aside for a talk. Once Daryl is secured back in his cell, Negan discusses their efforts to break him with Dwight. As a reward, Negan offers Dwight to sleep with one of his wives with Sherry being the first option. However, Dwight declines and Negan is slightly angered by his refusal but allows him to follow through with his choice. Arat radios Dwight to inform him that Gordon has fled the Sanctuary. Negan answers Arat and lets her know that Dwight will meet her at the gate. Negan tells Dwight to send someone else to take care of the grunt work, but he ensures Negan he enjoys doing it. After a while, Negan laughs and sends Dwight to find the runaway.

Negan and some of his men later corner Daryl who was attempting to escape the Sanctuary and they anticipated his escape. Negan asks the Saviors surrounding Daryl who they are and they all respond "Negan". Negan reprimands Daryl's attempt at escaping a failure and presents him with three options: Daryl can either become a walker for the Sanctuary's fence line, earn points or work alongside Negan with beneficial privileges however Daryl doesn't reply.

    Negan is annoyed and swings Lucille at Daryl, just stopping just short of hitting him, but Daryl doesn't flinch. Negan notes and is intrigued by Daryl's resolve in that he cannot be scared easily despite his dire consequences. Negan leaves while his men restrain Daryl and return him to his cell.

Dwight having returned from his mission, wakes Daryl and leads him to an efficiency apartment where Negan awaits. Negan explains how Dwight became one of his top men and Dwight, Sherry and Tina to used to work for points. When Tina fell behind on points, on account for her costly medication, he asked her to marry him. Dwight, Sherry and Tina stole the medicine and ran away. They returned after Tina's death and Dwight asked for forgiveness and begged Negan not to kill Sherry. Sherry offered to marry Negan if he spared Dwight's life. He agreed after burning Dwight's face with a hot iron and Dwight has been on board ever since. Negan tells Daryl he can become one of his top men and he can live in this apartment. Negan then asks Daryl his name again but after a long silence, Daryl responds with his own name. Negan simply orders Dwight to return Daryl to his cell.

Negan arrives at the Alexandria Safe-Zone with a large group of Saviors and Daryl, and demands to be let in. He is disappointed when Spencer Monroe questions who he is however Rick meets Negan at the gate and notes that he came earlier than planned. Negan strides into Alexandria and thrusts Lucille into Rick's hands, telling him to hold onto it for him. Negan forbids Rick or any of the Alexandrians from speaking to Daryl or they will face consequences. Rick

    tells Negan that they already set aside half of their supplies, but Negan says he'll decide which supplies to take.
As the Saviors haul furniture and mattresses out of residents' homes, Negan inquires about Maggie's whereabouts. Father Gabriel Stokes appears and asks if Negan wants to pay his respects, causing Negan to ask if she didn't make it which leads to Rick saying nothing and shaking his head hesitantly. Gabriel leads Negan to the graveyard where Glenn, Abraham and supposedly Maggie are buried. Negan rues Maggie's death, telling a seething Rick he'd planned on asking her to

    join him as his wife at his compound. Rick quietly seethes with anger and tightens his grip on Lucille, but swiftly relaxes. Moments later, they hear a gunshot. In the infirmary, Carl holds David at gunpoint and he orders him to return some of the medicine he took. Negan jokes about Carl's fearlessness and Carl finally lowers his gun after Negan threatens to harm more people. As a precaution, Negan declares that he's confiscating all the guns in Alexandria.

Negan tells Rick he'll leave their food untouched to ensure that they remain strong enough to collect for him. Negan commands Rick to thank him, but Rick refuses. Negan says that Rick is the one who forced his hand and that is why he should thank him. Negan asks if anyone keeps guns outside of the armory and Rick assures him that all guns are kept in storage. Arat informs Negan that two guns are missing from the armory, so a disappointed Negan threatens to kill Olivia if Rick doesn't find the missing guns.

Later, Rick brings the missing guns to Negan and he gathers his group at the gate when the Saviors prepare to leave. When Rick sees Michonne lurking in a dilapidated house nearby, Rick asks Negan if he can give him a second but Negan refuses and Rick rephrases. Negan does permits Rick to speak with her and he brings back her rifle and gives it to Negan, before asking if Daryl can stay since they've followed the rules and gave Negan half of their supplies. Negan asks Daryl if he wants to stay but Daryl remains obediently silent. Negan refuses to leave Alexandria until Rick thanks him, causing Rick to concede and thank him. A walker approaches and Negan turns to kill it before retrieving Lucille from Rick. Negan then mocks Rick before leaving Alexandria with half of their belongings and Daryl in tow.

Negan later appears after Carl calls him out as he infiltrates the Sanctuary, having killed one of the Saviors. He taunts Carl, who guns down another Savior and is tackled by Dwight. Negan orders Dwight to back off and offers to show Carl around the compound. From a catwalk, Negan addresses the crowd kneeling on the factory floor and he announces that the Saviors secured a big load of goods and everyone will get fresh vegetables at dinner, regardless of how many points they have. He whispers to Carl, commenting on the respect he receives.

Negan takes Carl to a nicely appointed room and introduces him to his wives. Negan pulls Sherry aside; she reluctantly concedes that Mark, a Savior, shirked his work duties to be with Amber, one of Negan's wives. Sherry asks Negan to go easy on Amber and he admonishes Amber for cheating on him; she tears up and assures Negan that she loves him. Negan boasts to Sherry that he went easy on her and kisses her. Negan takes Carl to his apartment; he orders Carl to sit across from him and remove his hat and eye bandage. Carl is reluctant but Negan reminds him that he killed two of his men and must repay him. When Carl removes the bandage, he comments on how disgusting

    his scarred eye socket looks and mocks him in glee. Humiliated, Carl starts crying and Negan, in a rare act, apologizes for hurting his feelings and tells him that he forgot he was just a kid. Fat Joey stops by Negan's apartment to give him Lucille, which Negan left by the cargo truck. After laughing along with Negan's jokes on how he handled Lucille, he dismisses Joey harshly. Negan then begins to compliment on Carl's eye and advises him to leave his bandage off so nobody will mess with him. He orders Carl to sing him a song, who reluctantly complies. Negan asks if his mother used to sing to him, correctly guessing that she is dead. Carl explains that he shot her to prevent her from turning and Negan remarks that no wonder he is a future serial killer in the making. Negan and Carl leave the room, with Negan claiming that the iron is ready.
Later, the Saviors gather around a furnace on the factory floor, where Mark is tied to a chair. Negan orders Carl to

    hold Lucille as he reiterates the importance of rules. He brands Mark's face with a hot iron as punishment for his infraction and he orders Emmett Carson to tend to Mark and takes Carl away. Back in Negan's apartment, Carl taunts Negan for being unable to kill him, Rick or Daryl and tells Negan he should jump out of the window so he doesn't have to kill him. Negan suggests they take a car ride. Negan and Carl prepare to leave in a cargo truck and on their way out, Daryl warns Negan against hurting Carl. Negan immediately orders Dwight to put Daryl back in his cell and drives off.
Negan and Carl knock on Rick's door in Alexandria only for Olivia to answer and nervously tells Negan that Rick is out scavenging and might not return that day. She tells him that they are practically starving in order to provide for him however Negan mocks her weight and she starts to cry. He crudely proposes having sex with her to make it up to her and Olivia slaps him. Instead of being angry, Negan simply smiles and admires her newfound feisty attitude. He

    then tells her to go and make some lemonade for him, and she reluctantly does so. Negan takes a tour of Rick's house and is impressed with their living arrangements. Carl tries to keep him away from Judith Grimes's bedroom, but Negan opens the door and discovers her nursery, lifting Judith out of her crib. Negan and Carl sit on the porch, where he rocks Judith in his lap as he contemplates killing Rick and Carl, maybe even settling in the suburbs. Negan smiles and kisses Judith's nose.
Negan then enjoys a shave in Rick's bathroom and he cooks spaghetti in the kitchen with Carl, instructing him to

    place a setting for Rick as Olivia pours him some lemonade. They sit at the table in silence, waiting for Rick to return, but Negan grows tired and places Lucille in Rick's chair, he then asks Carl to pass the bread rolls to which he says please the second time after he ignored the first time. Later, Negan is sitting on the porch when Spencer approaches and Arat refuses to let him see him until Negan tells her to let him in. Spencer introduces himself and they share a drink as Negan pines for a pool table. Spencer leads him to one and Negan smiles before calling Spencer his "new best friend".
As Negan and Spencer play pool in the middle of the street, residents gather around to watch. Spencer tells Negan

    that Rick's ego is out of control and proposes that Negan appoint Spencer the new leader of Alexandria. Negan considers Spencer's betrayal but points out that Rick is swallowing his hatred to gather goods for Negan so he won't kill anyone else. After saying that takes guts, Negan wonders why Spencer doesn't just kill Rick himself instead of sneaking around. When he tries to speak, Negan answers his own question: because he doesn't have the guts to do it while plunging a knife into Spencer's abdomen, disemboweling him. Negan jokes as Spencer's guts spill

    out onto the asphalt, asking if someone wants to finish the game with him.

Angered, Rosita whips out her gun and shoots at Negan; however the bullet hits Lucille instead. Negan, enraged at the damage done to Lucille and the attempt on his life, shouts at her and demands to know who created the bullet. Rosita lies and claims she made it herself, but Negan doesn't believe her and orders Arat to put a knife to her face. Rosita lies again as she presses her cheek against Arat's knife, cutting her own face. Negan simply doesn't fall for it and orders Arat to kill someone; she then turns and shoots Olivia in the face. Rick appears and yells at Negan that they had an agreement. Negan informs him about how Carl infiltrated the Sanctuary and killed two of his men, how Spencer was plotting to have him killed, so he could be put in charge. He also tells Rick that Rosita shot Lucille trying to kill him and did not want Olivia to die even though he ordered Arat to kill someone. Negan agrees to go as soon as he learns who made the bullet and Tara Chambler says it was her, but a tearful Eugene Porter confesses. Negan approaches him and tells him he believes him and Negan, in his frustration, asks Lucille to give him strength then angrily says that Rick's finds are not good enough after today and he warns Rick he will not forget what happened that day. Negan and his crew then leave with Eugene in tow.

Negan is heard on the radio Jesus took from the Sanctuary, giving Fat Joey an eulogy, and he tells Simon to look for Daryl in Alexandria as he discovered he escaped. Negan returns to the Sanctuary with his new prisoner, Eugene, who shakes with terror as Laura, a female Savior, walks him deep into the bowels of the Sanctuary. Negan discovers that Daryl killed Fat Joey and escaped. He has the Saviors barge in and beat up Dwight as Negan watches in the doorway.
Dwight sits in Daryl's dark cell, now his cell, and Negan informs him that Sherry fled and wonders if she helped Daryl escaped. Dwight defends Sherry but Negan continues hypothesizing and questions whether Dwight changed his stripes and helped Sherry himself; he then orders Dwight to find Sherry and bring her back. Outside, by the Sanctuary fence-line, Negan orders that Simon go lead a search party to Alexandria to search for Daryl. Eugene is then brought before him and is given an intimidating introduction. When asked for his name, Eugene responds with his own and Negan then prompts the Saviors for their names and they respond in unison: "Negan". Negan grills Eugene about his credentials so, scared, Eugene falls back on his old lie and claims he has multiple PhDs and was part of the Human Genome Project. Negan asks Eugene for advice on how to prevent his fence-line walkers from deteriorating. Eugene impresses Negan with his proposed solution: covering them in a shell of liquified metal that will make the walkers indestructible once it dries. As a reward for his ingenuity, Negan offers to send several of his wives to Eugene's apartment.

Negan enters the factory floor, where a crowd has gathered around the furnace and he points Lucille directly at Eugene, telling him to pay close attention to what is about to happen. Negan turns and whacks Lucille against

    Carson's shoulder, accusing him of helping Daryl escape in order to impress Sherry. He shows Carson a note from Sherry, which Dwight clipped from her farewell letter and planted in Carson's desk. Carson accuses Dwight of lying but he quickly folds and falsely confesses when Negan threatens him with the iron. Negan stares intently at Eugene before he grabs Carson and throws him face-first into the furnace, burning him alive. Negan puts his arm around Dwight, reminding him about Carson's brother, Harlan, another doctor. Negan pays Eugene a visit and tells Eugene

    that he doesn't make his invitation lightly and explains that he doesn't need to be scared anymore. Negan then asks Eugene who he is, causing Eugene to respond that he's Negan.
Negan emerges with Lucille outside the Sanctuary and greets Harlan Carson, who was taken from the Hilltop by Simon and his men. He hugs Eugene and hands him a walkie-talkie before he walks back inside the Sanctuary. Negan later arrives at Sasha Williams's  cell as one of the Saviors, David, is about to rape her. He angrily reminds him that rape is forbidden and that he crossed the line before stabbing him through the neck, refusing to accept his apology. Negan asks Sasha if Rick sent her to kill him but she assures him that he didn't. Negan, impressed by her bravery, asks her to join the Saviors and he unties her wrists, gives her his knife and presents his proposition: she can choose not to use the knife, allowing David to reanimate and kill her, or she can save herself and

    use the knife against David, but she'll have to join Negan's cause and he then leaves the cell. Negan opens the door to Sasha's cell and sees the knife protruding from David's forehead. Sasha agrees to join him and Negan retrieves the knife and says that Sasha needs to further convince him of her loyalty. He tells her that he knows that Rick is formulating a plot against him and that he plans to enlist her help in stopping him.

Negan brings a tray of food to Sasha's cell and he assures her that she doesn't have to die that day but warns that someone from Rick's group does. She asks him what she needs from him and Negan tells Sasha how he plans to use her in his attack against Alexandria. He insists on executing three people, but Sasha bargains him down to one and he complies. As Negan's group mobilize to attack Alexandria, Sasha tells Negan that she wants to travel to Alexandria in the casket so she can rest. She requests a bottle of water and inside the coffin, Sasha selects a song from the iPod Eugene gave her. As music begins to play, she pops the suicide pill in her mouth and chases it with water.

Rick and his crew later work to remove chopped down trees blocking the road, delaying their arrival at Alexandria; a diversionary tactic secretly employed by Dwight. Negan suspects Alexandria is responsible and reminds Simon that they have a Plan B. Eugene asks Negan to approach Rick and try to defuse the situation before resorting to warfare. A Scavenger alerts everyone in Alexandria to the Saviors' arrival and Rick assumes his position at the front gate, with Jadis crouching by his feet, hidden from view. Negan's caravan arrives and Eugene steps out in an attempt to convince Rick to surrender. Rick hesitates, stricken by Eugene's betrayal, then gives Rosita the signal to detonate the explosives. Rosita pushes the detonator, but there is no explosion. Before Rick can reach for his gun, Jadis leaps up and aims her gun at Rick. Simultaneously, the Scavengers all turn their guns on the Alexandrians.

Negan emerges from a truck and taunts Rick as his Saviors open the truck and holds the explosives. Negan's men remove a coffin from their flatbed; he announces that Sasha is inside, alive and well. He tells him that he was aware of Rick's plan to defy and attack him, as Jadis was the one that revealed his plans and offers to let her live if Rick turns over all their guns and Daryl. Even then, Negan will still execute one Alexandrian of Rick's choosing and if he refuses, Negan will kill them all. Rick insists on seeing Sasha, so Negan knocks on the casket with Lucille.

Negan then opens the casket door however Sasha, now a walker, lunges at him. Rick's group takes advantage of the

    ensuing chaos and turns their guns on the Scavengers. Those on the guard posts open fire on the Saviors outside and Michonne fights Farron on the balcony. In the chaos, Rosita is shot and shortly after is escorted away by Tara. Rick tries to join the fight, but Jadis holds him at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Roy removes the zombified Sasha from Negan but she proceeds to devour Roy's face as Negan and Simon hide from gunfire behind a truck. Negan screams to Simon that they need to put Plan B into action. In the streets below, the Saviors and Scavengers have gained control of the situation; some Alexandrians have been killed while the rest are taken captive. Jadis leads Rick to Negan and orders him to kneel beside Carl, who is surrounded by over a dozen Saviors. She reminds Negan of their deal, twelve people in exchange for the Scavengers' help in the attack. Negan swiftly bargains her down to 10.
Rick and Carl look on in horror as a body plummets to the ground from Michonne's balcony post. Negan then vows to kill Carl and cut off Rick's hands as punishment for Rick's collusion. Rick swallows his fear and furiously reiterates his pledge to kill Negan, regardless of the threats he makes. Negan stares at him for a moment before smiling and as Negan prepares to strike Carl with Lucille, Shiva leaps onto and mauls a nearby Scavenger. Carol Peletier  and Ezekiel arrive at the head of the Kingdom regiment in an attack as Maggie arrives with the Hilltop fighters. A battle

    ensues as the Saviors and Scavengers are caught off guard, and Rick and Carl join the fight. Negan orders a retreat as Shiva mauls another one of his men to death. Before he escapes, Negan is furious and is surprised to see Maggie alive and well, leading the Hilltop warriors. Negan and the Saviors leave under a hail of

    bullets and gives his attackers the middle finger before escaping. Back at the Sanctuary, Simon and Dwight inform Negan that preparations are underway for Plan B. Negan asks Eugene how Sasha managed to die in the casket, so Eugene

    surmises that she ran out of air. Negan looks doubtful, but concedes it's possible. He then addresses his Saviors amassed in the courtyard, declaring they are going to war.

### Season Eight

Negan is present at a crisis meeting with Gregory, Simon, Eugene, Dwight, Gavin and Regina concerning the rebellion at Alexandria. Gregory thanks them for listening to him and he understands how hard it is to manage people in this environment and the "big scary u", explaining that it is the unknown. Negan tells Gregory he enjoys killing people and killing the right people at the right time makes things fall into place, claiming he saves people. Gregory realizes that's why they're called the Saviors and Dwight gets up to leave for a cigarette but Negan questions he wouldn't want to hear Gregory. Dwight says it doesn't matter because he's just going to do what he's told. Gregory continues, describing the conflict and claiming he can stop it before it gets started. He offers to kick everyone out of Hilltop who side with Rick so Negan asks if he can exile people. Gregory then states that he owns Hilltop and claims that he's still in charge there however Negan questions it, though, because he saw Maggie alive and leading an army of his people. Gregory insists that he didn't know about Maggie until now and tells him that Hilltop is his home. Simon suggests a strong raid on the Hilltop, which could end in killing everyone there if they don't

    cooperate, which would send a message to the other communities. This angers Negan, claiming that people are a resource and questions Simon and if he remembers who they are and who is in charge and Simon pledges his allegiance. Negan says they have to capture Rick, Maggie and Ezekiel and kill them horribly in front of their people. Suddenly, the Militia's gunshots ring out outside and Simon suggests shooting at them but Negan says it would be a waste of ammo. Instead, he decides to go talk to everyone and they all walk outside.

Negan and his lieutenants emerge from the Sanctuary after Rick and his army arrive outside and Negan wonders if Rick is going to kill him and Rick insists he is after he told him twice already. Negan berates Rick saying that he doesn't have the numbers to fight the Saviors and Negan has Simon bring out Gregory who, under Negan's coercion, says that Hilltop stands with Negan and the Saviors. Rick offers all of the Saviors the chance to survive if they surrender, however Negan  won't have the same chance and the lieutenants refuse to surrender.

Negan becomes frustrated when Rick and the Militia refuse to back down and has Simon push Gregory off the platform. Rick continues to offer the lieutenants a way out and Gavin wants to talk but Rick insists this is the only way. Rick then begins to count, starting at 10 however unleashes his gunfire at 7. When Rick opens fire, Negan and his lieutenants run for cover. As the lieutenants flee back inside, Negan remains outside but gets shot in the leg and limps towards a sheet of metal for cover as Rick continues firing on him and the Sanctuary windows until Gabriel Stokes urges Rick to evacuate. Negan is next seen when Gabriel finds shelter in an outbuilding and Negan is revealed to be there too, smiling and intimidating Gabriel.

Negan is in the trailer with Gabriel and he tackles and disarms him. His handgun was fully loaded and Gabriel says he didn't have enough bullets to take out the walkers. Negan calls it smart play and helps him up before sitting down and indicating Gabriel should be quiet. Negan insults Rick but Gabriel also insults Negan, causing Negan to claim Rick is going to get his people killed. Negan explains that he killed Abraham and Glenn but Rick got them killed for killing his people. Negan then questions Gabriel why he saved Gregory after he tried to sell him out, so Gabriel

    reveals he fears a fruitless death. After continuing their conversation and Negan insisting they wait it out, Gabriel asks Negan to confess but Negan claims he doesn't have anything to confess. He then questions why Gabriel became a priest, so Gabriel answers that he loves God and people, wanting to bring them together and help them through their weaknesses. Negan then says he has been doing the same thing throughout his entire life before stating that people are going to start dying in the Sanctuary without him. Negan then begins whistling and the walker presence intensifies.

Negan goes on about being weak but also strong and he claims everyone is a mix, telling Gabriel how he took over the Sanctuary and when he was finally in charge, Negan made people strong and then claims that Gabriel will be his "special project". Gabriel insists he is strong and confesses that he was at the satellite outpost, Negan is surprised and criticizes him for killing people in their sleep. Gabriel then asks how Negan is weak, so Negan responds that he hasn't killed anyone that didn't need it. Gabriel questions him about the workers and his wives, Negan calls the workers an economy and insists that his wives made their choice. Gabriel asks Negan if he had a wife before all of this, so Negan holds Lucille and asks Lucille to give him strength however Negan lets his guard down as Gabriel grabs his gun and locks himself in the trailer's second room. Negan takes out walkers which barged through and says it's time to go.

Back in the trailer, Negan explains how they will get inside, using Lucille and each other. Negan grabs the walker and pulls it toward him but Gabriel is hiding on the other side of the wall. He is armed with a gun and Negan asks Gabriel for his help. Gabriel says he killed before, but that's not his greatest sin, he confesses that he locked his congregation out of his church when this all started, he listened to the people die. Everyday he works to lessen that failure and be of service and purpose. Gabriel then offers Negan the assurance of a pardon and wants to show Negan that working together is the best move but he'll only do it if Negan confesses. Negan finally opens up about his first wife, prior to the outbreak, how he treated her badly and how he couldn't put her down after she died and convinces Gabriel they have to work together to go out of this mess. Gabriel emerges and gives Negan the gun, claiming him to be forgiven. Negan punches him in the face and thanks him before ripping apart the walker and explains how the insides can be used to walk among the dead.

Negan and Gabriel make a bunch of noise and lets walkers enter the trailer until it is full and they can find a way out. Slowly, the two manuever through the crowd until Gabriel trips and they work together, saving one another, until they

    get to an edge where walkers fall on them. Negan and Gabriel make it safely inside the Sanctuary, where he whistles his way as he witnesses Regina killing a worker. Negan criticizes her for doing that and he reaffirms his power, and reminds them who he is. He excuses himself to a shower and some service from Frankie. He will then go back to business and saving everyone. Negan then orders Gabriel to be kept in a cell. Later, Negan and his lieutenants find some of the weapon bags left by Rick's group, and realizes that the weapons they had were stolen from the Sanctuary. Privately, Negan tells Eugene he will reward him handsomely if he can figure out the mole within the Saviors, but at the same time, he will kill him if he cannot, albeit quickly.

Negan is later met by Eugene in the conferance room and he expresses an increasing worry for the safety of his community, while praising Eugene and his efforts in the compound. He reminds Eugene that he is aware of how intelligent he is, prompting Eugene to remind him of his loyalty. Negan reaches out his hand and Eugene attempts to kiss it but Negan was looking for a handshake. It's a sign of mutual respect which not many people get from Negan and Eugene accepts this, declaring that there is work that needs to be done before leaving the room.

    Negan and Eugene propose a plan to clear out the walkers with whatever firearms they have left, with Eugene affirming that he will be able to stock the Saviors on freshly-made ammo should they run low. He then proposes another solution to the issue and Negan again praises Eugene on his initiative, but before he can hear his plan, Dwight and the other lieutenants report to Negan about the situation with the herd. Negan has high hopes that Eugene's plan will give them the upper hand. Eugene stares intently at Dwight, instead of ratting him out, he informs Negan that he intends to repair the intercom system, giving them an advantage in communications with the rest of the community. Negan is underwhelmed by Eugene's words.
Negan is later seen using a microphone outside of Alexandria, stating to all the citizens if they don't open the gate in three minutes he will bomb Alexandria. As Negan is yelling at the gates of Alexandria, Carl stands at the top of the fence and tells Negan that Rick isn't home and that there are children inside. Negan says that there were children at the Sanctuary too. Negan then tells Carl that he needs to be in charge because the communities need someone who

    will do whatever it takes. Carl says that, if there has to be punishment, Negan should kill him to pay for what Rick has done. Carl says that he doesn't want to die but he'll do it if he has to do so everyone can continue living. He asks Negan if this is what he wanted, taking him off guard.

As they talk, the Alexandrians break out in a convoy and Negan gets angry at Carl for tricking him and orders his Saviors to blow up Alexandria and the Saviors launch grenades into Alexandria, destroying it. He then commands the Saviors if they see Rick, send him his way. Rick enters Alexandria searching for his family and in his house, he finds Negan and the two get into a fight. Negan tries to hit him with Lucille but Rick manages to escape multiple blows. Negan tells Rick that he's going to "fix" Carl, making him one of his top men in a few years. Rick starts beating Negan and goes for his gun, however Negan pushes Rick out of his window and Rick escapes.

## Relationships

### Simon

Simon is Negan's right-hand man and the two have a strong relationship. Simon is extremely loyal to his leader and obeys his orders without question. Negan views Simon very highly and claims that if he wasn't around, there would be a whole lot more work to do. During an ambush by Alexandria, Kingdom and Hilltop, Negan and Simon like to stay close to each other during war. This is most likely due to both working well together and trusting each other completely.

### Gregory

Gregory is quite fearful of Negan and becomes submissive to his demands, giving him half of the Hilltop Colony's supplies after the Saviors killed a member from Hilltop. Negan takes advantage of Gregory's cowardice and begins demanding more supplies. After some time, he can't keep up with the amount that Negan wants, so Negan kidnaps Craig and sends Ethan to kill Gregory for failing to follow his orders. After the attempt of taking Gregory's life fails, he decides to make a deal with Rick Grimes to eliminate Negan and the Saviors once and for all. Instead of doing it himself, he sends Simon to deal with Gregory at the Hilltop after Rick's people had killed every Savior from one of the outposts.

### Eugene Porter

Negan first meets Eugene Porter when he captures him in the RV and lines him up with Rick's group and he watched Negan beat Abraham and Glenn to death with his baseball bat. Later after Rosita's failed attempt to kill Negan, he furiously tries to find out who made the bullet. Eugene confesses that he was the one who did it and thus he and his men took him as hostage.

After arriving at the Sanctuary, Negan was impressed by Eugene's intelligence and believes his lie about being a bio engineer. Thus he makes Eugene become a Chief Engineer of the Saviors and surprisingly, Eugene is one of the few people that Negan does not directly threaten or harm, and Negan mostly gives him respect, hospitality and even kindness to an extent.

### Arat

Arat is shown to be completely loyal to Negan and is one of his closest associates. He clearly trusts her to carry out his orders without question such as when she mercilessly killed Olivia on his orders. She also tackled Rosita to the ground after she attempted to assassinate Negan, showing that Arat is willing to protect her leader from danger.

And then there's you. The guy who waited for Rick to be gone so he could sneak over and talk to me to get me to do his dirty work, so he could take Rick's place. So I got to ask: if you wanna take over, why not just kill Rick yourself and just take over? You know what I'm thinking? Cause I have a guess. It's because you got no guts. Ooh. How embarrassing.

That is how I was weak. That is what I will confess. Because, yeah, maybe we do bite the big one here."
* "You can use your weaknesses to drive your strength and obviously, I am strong as shit. I took this place and it was a damn free-for-all...a loose confederation of assholes, an army made up of gangs of animals and I brought it all together.

See, I'm gonna make you my new special project. Gonna make you nice and strong too. We're gonna find your special purpose. Hell yes, we are."
