**Slade** was a main character in The FamousFilm's *The Crafting Dead* series. He is a solider for Kat's army but betrays her after seeing the true evil of her actions. He helps Bryan and the group escape from Kat's Ship.

## Personality

Slade was represented in the series as a good man who wants to do what was right. He is also very caring for his friends which is shown by the fact that he didn't kill Skiddles, but knocked him out, and when he French kissed Bryan (or CPR whatever you call it) to save his life.

## Pre-Apocalypse

No information has been given out on Slade’s past. Except that at some point he found and joined Kat's army, despite not agreeing with Kat's tortures, (although he claims he only did this to survive). He was responsible for watching the prisoners along with Skiddles.

## Post Apocalypse

### Season 3

Slade first appears in "Suffering" listening to Jupber's screams of torture, and then being called by Bryan, begging for help, after the first guard (Skiddles) refuses. He goes to Bryan and offers to help the group escape, but Bryan has to do whatever he says. Bryan questions why he should trust him. Slade replies that he has no choice. Bryan asks why Slade started working for Kat. He replies that he had no choice and that Bryan would do the same if he were in his place. He also tells Bryan to act normally until he gets time. Slade manages to outwit Skiddles by telling him that Kat needs him on the front deck to distract him from releasing the prisoners. Slade tells the group that he is going to release them one at a time (the cells make a lot of noise) and that he first goes to the infirmary to get some medication to treat the injuries suffered by the group. Kat orders Slade to bring Bryan to talk to her, which he does, witnessing the two talk. Soon after Slade takes Bryan back to his cell (on the way, revealing that they are trapped in a transport ship). Slade witnesses Kat returning to her cells to torture Dawn with Bryan calling her name. Skiddles returns more Slade manages to deceive her once again. The group begs for Slade's help, but he tells them to wait. He starts to free the group but is interrupted by a radio call. Slade sends Bryan back to his cell, but not before giving him a shotgun. Upon returning he hears from Bryan that Kat caught Blake to torture her. Salde checks and says Blake has minor injuries. He witnesses Trish bringing Eli to see the group members, which irritates Kat. Kat shoots Trish and arms Bryan (who aimed his shotgun), which irritates Trish's brother Skittles. Kat scolds Slade for not doing his job. He questions what to do with Trish's body, Kat tells him to get rid of it. Slade scolds Bryan's group and warns him not to act irrationally ever again and the two plan their escape.

In "Death!", Slade finally takes Bryan and his group out of their cells. Bryan asks where Blake is, he says he doesn't know about her condition, but he hopes she can walk. The group finds Blake in Kat's torture room, who is seriously injured due to the torture. Bryan notices blood stains on the wall that Slade claims to be from one of the former prisoners. He takes the group into a room to pick up supplies and guides them to the lifeboats. But they are interrupted by Cam. Although Slade tries to make up an excuse, Cam realizes his lie and points a gun at them. Slade and the group testify Bryan try one last time to bring Cam back to his side, but Cam doesn't listen. Bryan then shoots him in the chest. The shot sounds the alarm and Slade takes the group to hide in a container while he goes to get Eli. Slade returns with Eli while trying to escape with the group but they are caught by Kat and her soldiers. They flee with Slade and Bryan shooting at the pursuing soldiers, he and the group reach the top of the cargo ship and jump into the water.

 Trivia

* Slade's death was not scripted. For the recording of "The Prison" Slade's actor couldn't come to their recording session so the cast decided to use a body actor for him that episode. In the episode, Slade was supposed to sacrifice himself for the group so they can leave and he stays back in the prison. Miscommunication had led to Slade's body actor staying with the group and the cast had to think fast on what they could do for redoing the recording was not an option, so they decided to have Mason shoot Slade by a mere accident.
* Slade is gay, making him technically the fourth, but the fifth confirmed LGBTQ character in the series. He and Bryan's relationship was supposed to evolve into a romantic one, but his accidental death forced the team to scrap this.
* Despite getting shot in the liver and then in the jaw, before being devoured by Walkers, Slade's wounds are not present, this is likely an error.
* Slade is the first on-screen character to be killed directly by walkers in the series.
* Slade is one of 4 characters to change sides, the others being Cam who switched sides from Bryan's group to Kat's, the second being Skittles who betrayed Kat's group off-screen, and the third being Trish, who defected from Nirvana Gates for most likely Alpha Haven.
