Damerae Badrick

"*You heard me right. Look upon my face... it may not be a pretty sight... but it is an honest one. There is a group of people in this town who have killed countless of our brothers. They have showed no mercy. They have killed so many who were loyal to our cause. Let this day be their reckoning. I have battled through a lot while I have been alone... I was in a car crash just to return to you. That is what I do for all of you, for my brothers. As you have proven you would do the same for me, to sail all the way out here in concern for my safety. So tell me brothers, will you help me once more?*"
—Damerae Badrick addressing his Rastas[src]

Damerae Badrick, often referred to by just his surname, is a main character and the main antagonist of the first half of Route to Paradise. He is the sadistic psychopath that is in charge of a gang known as ‘The Rastas’. Badrick views other people as nothing more than pawns, he has shown on multiple occasions to lack empathy and shows no redeeming qualities that could deem him a good human being.

Early into the apocalypse, Badrick crossed paths with Edward Remar, taking the man on as his protege before moving his operation to the town of Willamette, Colorado. When Badrick discovers that his men have come across a valuable hostage in the form of a sickly little girl, Sarah Taylor, he uses her as leverage against her father Benjamin and his group to force them into doing his bidding. Badrick uses Benjamin and his army to instigate conflict against the group of survivors residing at Willamette Parkview Mall, who quickly become his archenemies. After Edward becomes conflicted and betrays Badrick by organising the rescue of Sarah, Benjamin wages war on The Rastas’ after his daughter succumbs to her illness and dies in his arms. A devastating turf war takes place over the next few days.

Following the conclusion of the war at Willamette Mall where many were left dead, Badrick holds an eternal grudge against the remaining survivors who opposed him. During the winter season when snow begins to fall across a destroyed Willamette, Badrick, leading what remains of his gang, tracks the mall survivors and engages in battle with them once again, managing to capture a few, among them, Dean Howards. Badrick torments Dean and uses him as a hostage for many of his plans. After the last of The Rastas’ have been killed off, save for one, Badrick makes contact with one of his lieutenants to send for more. Shortly after this, he is mortally wounded in a suicide attack orchestrated by Jacob Feldman, burning off one side of his face and seemingly sinking to his death.

It is later revealed that Badrick was rescued by his lieutenant, Derrick Williams. After a short period of recovery, realizing his days are numbered, Badrick discovers the location of the mall survivors, who are now held up at Willamette High School. Over the next few days, with the help of Derrick, he rounds up a horde of the undead and stores them in a quarry, before rekidnapping Dean and his good friend, Jim Butterman. He proceeds to orchestrate his plan in an attempt to wipe out his enemies once and for all and torment Dean one last time. The attack is ultimately successful, and the school is destroyed and many of his foes defeated, but not all of them.

Badrick’s condition continues to worsen as it becomes infected and leaves him terribly ill. Knowing his backup is still to arrive in the next few days, Badrick aligns himself with another group who are located at a football stadium. This same group is revealed to have saved his life before. After making a deal to join forces with the group’s leader, Nathaniel Shepard, Badrick instead becomes set on a new goal of eradicating the mall survivors once again when he discovers that they have been taken prisoner at the stadium. Fueled only by his hatred of them, he demands they be killed, but is denied by Nathaniel. In response to this, on the day his men arrive at Willamette by ship, Badrick goes rogue and betrays Nathaniel, rounding up his army alone and launching an all out attack on the football stadium.

Ultimately, The Rastas’ are defeated and Badrick succumbs to his infection, unable to function properly. In his final moments, he is confronted by Edward and Benjamin and attempts to torment the two of them once more. While he is ultimately unsuccessful at getting to Benjamin, he angers Edward, who unleashes his hatred and stabs him to death.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Damerae Badrick was the overseer and founder of a gang known as 'The Rastas'. He was a global millionaire who owned many clubs across the world. Earlier in his life, Badrick mentored a young Manji Fayard, who soon became the second-in-command to The Rastas. Badrick, although not fond of Fayard's treatment to children, gave him New York City to take over; Manji did so successfully.

Badrick had connections with Derek Monroe before the apocalypse, as he used to buy crate loads of whiskey from Monroe's whiskey company.

Before the outbreak struck, Badrick was somewhere in the Western United States.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

Following the outbreak, Badrick comes across a man named Edward Remar, who he witnesses murder his mother's killers without hesitation. Impressed, Badrick takes Edward in as his protégé. He then has Edward lead him to where he was before; Willamette.

### **Season 2**

#### "**The Mentor**"

Outside of an electricals store, Badrick exits a limousine with a cigarette in his hand. Stepping out after him, Edward Remar. He tells Edward that he has risen above his old group, and that he's joined something far more important. Badrick turns to the driver and asks if he's made contact with Manji Fayard yet, to which they respond with a firm "No, Sir.". Damerae and Edward begin a conversation when Edward insists that Badrick does not settle in Willamette. Badrick, however, believes that the town is the perfect place to begin their operation. He continues on about Manji Fayard and how he and his gang are likely dead within New York City. Badrick approaches a straggling walker and takes it out. He then looks at Edward, asking if he'd like to end up like his family. Edward stands quietly and shakes his head. Badrick tells Edward that he is his new Fayard, and he is going to be mentored like him. Edward then calls Badrick's name and repeats what he said before, *insisting* that they find somewhere else to settle. Badrick advances towards Edward, towering over him, and slaps him. He tells Edward that he has been taken in by Badrick and must respect everything he desires. He goes on to tell Edward that he was impressed when he witnessed what he did to his mother's killers. Finally, Badrick explains to him that his mother's death was for the greater good, it was so their paths could meet. He then ushers Edward into the limo, before he himself gets in. The limo speeds off down the road.

The limousine comes to a stop, and Badrick gets out hastily. They were at the heart of the town, town hall. Edward steps out after and reluctantly agrees with his mentor that this is the best play to stay. Badrick wanders inside the town hall before telling Edward that he shall call the rest of his forces here. Their talk turns to the type of criminal Badrick is and was, and then to the layer of trust between them. Their discussion is abruptly interrupted at the sound of a window opening. Badrick runs into the nearby room to find Clyde Rollins trying to make his way out of a window. When Clyde realizes he's been spotted, he says that he was just trying not to bother them, before he goes back to trying to squeeze through the window. Damerae quickly walks over and grabs Clyde by the collar, throwing him to the floor. Badrick immediately recognizes Clyde as the famous actor he is, and makes sure Clyde knows it. Edward strolls into the room and is noticed by Clyde, who remembers him. Badrick questions how this is possible. Edward says that they were at the mall together. Clyde gets back on his feet. Badrick makes Clyde come sit with them.

With the three men sat down inside, Badrick asks both of them what they can tell him about the mall. Edward doesn't have anything, but Clyde blurts out that everyone inside are bad people who locked him up before he fled. "Liar!" Edward shouts. They bicker at each other until Badrick concludes that they will at some point meet with the survivors inside the mall, and eventually have them working for The Rastas. Badrick turns to Clyde and orders him to go into the basement. Clyde asks in a shaky voice if he's just pulling his leg, but Badrick isn't. Clyde frowns and opens the door to the basement, heading down.

#### "**A Common Enemy**"

On the streets of Willamette, Badrick sits on the machine gun of a humvee, opening fire on a group of people who had just destroyed his farm. When the group scatter into the buildings along the street, the humvee rolls out.

Badrick storms inside the town hall in a fit of rage. He confirms to Edward that the farm is lost. When Edward asks if he caught a glimpse of who the attackers were, Badrick says he couldn't tell. Edward then informs Damerae that some of the men found a little girl, a cancer patient. Badrick asks to see the girl.

Upstairs, Badrick is lead into the room where the girl is being kept. Badrick is told by Edward that the girl's name is Sarah Taylor. He promises that he will take care of the girl, something that Manji Fayard would never do, and something Badrick could never forgive him for. After Edward limps off to get the girl a meal, Badrick kneels down and asks the girl where her parents are. She doesn't know, but Badrick promises that he'll find them. Sarah then says that her mother was killed by cancer, and her father ran a big company, but she doesn't know where he is. Badrick stands up and tells the girl to wait there. He leaves the room and runs into Edward. He says that the girl is dying of her cancer, and likely won't be around for much longer. He says they will do their best to give her a final few days of peace.

#### "**The Calm Before**"

Knowing that they have his daughter, Benjamin Taylor and his army race to town hall, exit their vehicles and each fire a single round at Badrick's headquarters. Badrick steps out onto the balcony happily. Benjamin Taylor says that he's there to exterminate him and his forces. In response, Badrick tells them all to lower their weapons before things get nasty. When he refuses, Badrick has Edward bring out Sarah. Once Badrick indicates to his knife, Benjamin gives into Badrick's demands and has his army lower their weapons. Badrick gives Benjamin 24 hours to do one thing - use his army to take out the survivors at Willamette Parkview Mall. If he doesn't succeed, Sarah will not be returned. Badrick then heads back inside.

#### "**On the Clock**"

In the morning, Badrick pokes his head into a room where Edward is talking to Sarah. He calls Edward over. Edward approaches and the two begin to walk down the hallway. Badrick informs him that Mr. Taylor has not yet gone through with his demands, and time is running out. Edward advises that they leave the girl out of the situation. Damerae reminds Edward of what side he is on, and hopes his loyalties are set in line. Edward then asks if Benjamin will get his daughter back if he does what was asked. An irritated Badrick asks Edward if he is seriously questioning his honour. Edward says he was just making sure. The two walk out onto the balcony where the conversation move to Manji Fayard. With no contact for two weeks, Badrick believes that he is dead. Following up that, Badrick explains that he wants to set up a new outpost on the other side of town at an old factory. Being one of his most trusted associates, he wants Edward to run the outpost. Although stunned and not believing he should be the one to run the outpost, Badrick practically forces Edward to take the position. Edward thanks Badrick, before he walks off to prepare for his leave.

Before Edward leaves, at the door, Badrick grabs Edward's cane and snaps it in half. He tells him that he has a gift for him at the factory, a leg brace to help him walk normally. Edward thanks him. He is then taken off in a car.

Sometime later, Benjamin Taylor and his army pull up to the town hall. Badrick emerges from the town hall onto the balcony. Taylor explains to Badrick that the job is done. Damerae raises a radio and asks if Taylor thinks he is a fool. Benjamin only blew a hole into the entrance, he didn't kill any of the survivors. Knowing that he isn't going to get his daughter back, Benjamin asks if he can see his daughter at least. Badrick makes Benjamin get onto his knees and beg to see his daughter in front of his own army. And even after that, Badrick doesn't bring her out. He decides to give Taylor one last chance to get his daughter back. He tosses a radio off the balcony and onto the grass below. "Await my call." He says, before going back inside.

#### "**Partners in Crime**"

Standing on the balcony, Damerae smokes a cigar. Michael Hall, a new lieutenant, approaches him from behind and asks what he is to do. Having already known about the feud between Edward and Michael, Badrick orders Michael to visit Edward's outpost and settle their feud. After they make peace, both of them are to make their way to the train station to await a load of supplies. Michael nods and leaves.

A while after, Badrick's radio cracks and a man on the other side yells that the train is being attacked. Badrick radios for Michael. When he picks up, Badrick gets straight to the point about the train attackers and that Michael is to kill the raiders on board his train.

The next person he radios for is Benjamin Taylor. Benjamin picks up and Badrick tells him about the situation at the train station. He is told to kill all of the raiders on his train if he wants his daughter back.

#### "**Promise**"

At the town hall, Damerae greets Jackson Foxx and his friend Da'Jonte Woodward who have come to tell Badrick the whereabouts of a group of criminals who assisted the mall survivors in the train heist. Badrick acknowledges Jackson's information and then takes a walk with Da'Jonte, explaining to him that he is expecting a visit soon from one of his allies servicing him. Badrick stops when he hears a car door slam shut. He is surprised to see Edward stepping into the town hall. Edward explains himself and why he's there; to see if Benjamin got his daughter back. Badrick says he is awaiting their visit. Edward then walks off into another room. Badrick turns and tells Da'Jonte he'll be getting his own room before walking off.

Up on the balcony, Badrick looks down as Benjamin's convoy arrives out front. Taylor steps out of his car and looks up to Badrick. Using Michael as confirmation that his army was the reason the train was saved, he demands his daughter back. Badrick thinks for a moment before inquiring Benjamin if he made sure to kill all of the thieves to make up for his lost men. Taylor doesn't even have to give a proper answer for Badrick to know that he didn't, therefore making his task a failure. Benjamin had enough. He drew his pistol, aiming it up at Badrick. The rest of his army did the same. Badrick turns around and storms inside. He enters Sarah's room and spots her hiding under the bed. Badrick makes an impetuous decision, grabbing the girl and dragging her out onto the balcony. There, he puts a knife to her throat. He shouts down at Taylor and his army to withdraw from the area within thirty-seconds or he wouldn't hesitate to kill Sarah. Benjamin turns to his soldiers and yells at them to get into the vehicles. They all get in and they speed off back to the museum. When they're gone, Badrick drops the girl onto the floor and tells Edward to bring her in.

Later, Badrick bumps into Edward in the hall. He hopes that he will be returning to the factory soon. Edward says he will; he just cares for the girl. Michael walks up the stairs and notices them all. Walking up, he asks Badrick what the next move is with Mr. Taylor. Badrick doesn't know. As Edward begins to walk off, Jackson calls Badrick over to have a word.

Jackson and Badrick have their conversation on a different floor. Jackson believes that Edward is going to try and help Mr. Taylor. Believing this could be true, Badrick orders Jackson to tail Edward once he leaves. Damerae then strolls over to Michael where he tells him to head over to the warehouse, where the criminals are residing, and finish them off. As Michael and Jackson exit, Badrick sees Edward in front of Sarah's door. He quickly approaches and ushers him to the front door. He tells Edward to ensure his bullets are being made before he watches Edward get into a car and leave. Jackson gets into his vehicle to tail them. Damerae looks over to his limo driver and tells him to get ready.

At the factory, Damerae Badrick steps inside to a badly beaten Edward laying on the floor, Jackson standing over him with a crowbar. Edward admits to Badrick that he was planning to betray The Rastas. Badrick then orders Edward to his feet, only for him to be punched right back down. A laugh emits from Edward, who says that it was never going to be him breaking Sarah out. Badrick stops and thinks for a moment - before it hit him; Clyde. Badrick yells and curses, storming out of the factory with five of his men following behind him. They get into the humvee with a mounted machine gun and speed off.

#### "**Warzone**"

Badrick jumps off his humvee outside town hall and bolts inside. He is quickly told by Michael that Clyde has escaped with the girl. Badrick yells in anger and then commands his men to guard the windows; he knew an attack was coming. No more than a few minutes later, Benjamin's army had arrived out front. Badrick steps out onto the balcony where he tries to make peace by saying Benjamin got his daughter back. Benjamin replies back by saying his daughter is dead. Badrick then dives inside right before the fight begins. Gunfire erupts along the street as men drop like flies. Badrick disappears into the building.

A short while after, Badrick pulls up behind Benjamin's army mounted on his humvee. He mows down a chunk of Taylor's army as they all rush for cover. As the humvee moves up, Taylor's army shoots out the tires, causing it to spin out of control. Badrick speedily gets off the gun and crawls out of the humvee right before it explodes. A swarm of Rastas come running out of the town hall to back Damerae up; Michael being one of them. Badrick pulls himself to his feet and gets into a car with Michael, speeding off towards the factory. Benjamin gets into a vehicle with a group of men and chases after Badrick's car. Seeing this, Badrick pokes his head out the window and pops one of the tires, sending Taylor's car out of control.

At the factory, Badrick stands over Edward with Michael and Jackson. Before they can end Edward, Benjamin's army opens fire on the factory from the outside. Edward is able to escape into the night while Badrick's men help him into a truck to escape the battle.

#### "**Family Business**"

After the fighting comes to an end between the two sides for a brief time, Badrick launches a surprise drive-by on the museum. They light up the building and throw explosives, destroying all of Benjamin's remaining vehicles. The convoy speeds away before a single bullet can be fired at them.

Later that same day, Badrick sits at the top of an office building with his remaining Rastas. The mall survivors had already discovered they were there and were attacking them. When the raiders reach the top floor, they are met with gunfire. Badrick hears Edward calling his name, and decides to taunt him about his crippled leg. The survivors would eventually rush onto the top floor and make a dash for cover. Badrick turns and runs up onto the roof. From his position, he throws a grenade down at Jacob Feldman and Erin Monroe, exploding the stairs and blocking them off from making it to the roof. Jacob tries to reason with Badrick, saying they won't kill him if he just surrenders. Badrick doesn't fall for it, and proceeds to make his escape from the building. Once on the ground level, he orders his men to fire RPG's at the office building. Once they do, Badrick flees in his getaway vehicle alongside Jackson Foxx.

#### "**Home**"

From somewhere in the woods across the street, Damerae Badrick either kills or has one of his men kill Robert Morgan, who was standing on the roof of the mall.

Badrick and his last remaining loyal soldiers march their way down into the parking lot. Badrick rallies his men up, before one of them step into a hidden beartrap. Realizing the place is booby trapped, he carefully makes his way towards the mall carrying a grenade launcher. When they arrive at the fenced off entrance, Badrick steps back and blows it up, creating a smoke cover. His fifty men then charge in alongside him and make a dash for cover while being shot at by the inhabitants of the mall. Shortly after The Rastas push in, Shane Haywood, now leading Taylor's army, come in behind him, making it a three-way battle. Badrick points his grenade launcher up at the entrance and blows it up, crushing a few of Shane's men. As the mall survivors retreated out of the entrance plaza, Badrick turns his focus to Shane. He fires a shot from his grenade launcher, exploding a portion of the army. He laughs, making his way out of the plaza with some of his Rastas.

In the food court, it's quiet. Badrick assumes that the mall has fallen and the survivors have fled, but is proven wrong when Jacob appears behind him. Badrick taunts Jacob with the death of Erin and if about to shoot him. Suddenly Edward comes charging into the food court, killing a Rasta. Badrick gets behind cover and yells at his men to kill Edward. The Rastas are unable to do this as more of the mall survivors rush in behind Edward. Badrick withdraws into Wonderland Plaza, leaving a wounded Jackson behind.

Up on the roof, Badrick makes one final attempt to slaughter the survivors before they can escape. Edward jumps out from cover and tries to kill him, but Damerae easily shoots Edward in his chest, sending him falling off the roof into a dumpster below. Many of the mall survivors are able to escape the mall. One of them, Felix Quarterman, stays behind. He is able to land a shot on Badrick's chest, severely wounding him before he is lit up by Rastas. Badrick is helped up by his men and escorted away.

### **Season 3**

#### "**Tracked**"

Three trucks pull up outside of a hardware store on the outskirts of Willamette. Damerae Badrick jumps out, then proceeds to whisper to a man, telling him that even if there was a chance this is *them* - they were doing it. He is then promptly handed an RPG for which Badrick uses to blow a hole in the wall. Glancing through the hole in the wall, Badrick is able to recognize the mall survivors inside. He orders his men to leave no survivors. The Rastas and himself then storm the building, Badrick opening fire with his men. He hits a shot on one of the retreating survivors, wounding them. Before he can shoot another survivor, a dog leaps forward and bites down onto Badrick's arm. He throws the dog off him and goes to shoot it, but is charged into by Randall Forster, sending them both to the floor. They engage in a fist fight, which Badrick loses, keeping him knocked down, allowing most of the survivors to escape. As his arm gushes blood, The Rastas and Badrick are able to successfully capture three of the mall survivors. An alcoholic, a gun store owner, and an old man.

Inside of a warehouse, Damerae Badrick opens a door leading into a small, dark room, where he throws Jim Butterman into. He immediately closes the door only to return minutes later, punching Teddy across the face before dragging him out of the room.

In a room across the warehouse, Badrick sits Teddy down. He questions the man intensely until Teddy breaks into a laughter, saying that he can't wait to see Badrick's group go hungry and crumble from the inside out. Exasperated, he beats Teddy relentlessly till he eventually stops, opening the door and commanding a Rasta to bring Teddy back to his cell, and bring the final hostage to him.

The three prisoners are able to hear Badrick raising his voice to a Rasta, upset that he hasn't received his third hostage to question yet.

Outside the warehouse, Badrick witnesses his prisoners escaping over a fence. He either shoots or has a Rasta shoot Teddy in the head, planting his corpse on the fence. Badrick rushes forward with his men, who are able to capture Dean before escaping, but not Jim. Damerae looks down at the weakened Dean before knocking him out cold.

#### "**The Golden Goose**"

Back inside the warehouse, Dean is ruthlessly beaten by Derrick Williams whilst Badrick sits nearby and watches while enjoying a fruit. When Derrick finally lets up, Badrick approaches with a bowl of fruit and kneels down, holding the bowl out for Dean, offering him it. Dean would eventually reach out for it after struggling to get out a single word, only for Badrick to pull the fruit away from him, tormenting him further. Derrick then hoists Dean up and places him onto a seat in front of Badrick while Badrick introduces Dean to Derrick. As Dean regains his awareness, Damerae questions him about his friends, the mall survivors. Dean doesn't answer, which leads Badrick to show him Teddy's severed head. Horrified, Dean yells out and kicks it away. Badrick points out Dean's missing finger and asks what happened to it. Dean mumbles to himself, not answering. The situation escalates to Badrick unsheathing his knife and threatening to remove the rest of his fingers unless Dean spoke clearly. Dean finally breaks and admits that there is a secret place under the destroyed mall where his friends likely may be. Badrick turns to Derrick and tells him to ready the truck. If Dean was lying, there would be a price to pay. Derrick takes Dean outside to the truck while Badrick tosses his banana peel in the trash before exiting outside with them.

Now at the mall, Badrick steps out of the truck along with Derrick and seven other Rastas. Badrick pushes Dean forward and tells him to lead the way. Entering the mall, they almost immediately see a small group inside the mall. Badrick opens fire, hitting Curtis Van Horn in the chest multiple times. As the group frantically find cover, Badrick and Derrick walk forward with their rifles leaving some of the Rastas to guard Dean. As they push forward, Badrick gets his hands on Angela Jaegar. He tells her what his boys are going to do her, before she is thrown back to his Rastas. "Truly a beautiful sight this is-- that Dean---- He really is a golden goose. And a golden goose-- gets rewarded." Badrick tells Derrick, before adding that for his reward, Dean will "fuck her first." Badrick then walks off further into the mall with some of his Rastas.

Pinned down, Damerae shouts for Derrick's help. Derrick arrives, finding Badrick in a firefight; all three Rastas who accompanied him - dead. Badrick says that the one shooting at them is weak and can be taken on. As soon as he steps out of cover, Badrick is hit in the arm. Derrick escorts him out of the fight and down into the entrance plaza. There, they find the rest of the Rastas dead. Angela jumps up and runs at Badrick, but is knocked down instantly. Badrick sprints outside and gets into the truck as Derrick picks up Dean and sets him in the back of the truck before he too got in. They drive off.

#### "**State of Mind**"

In the truck, Badrick sits in the back seat as one of his Rastas drive around the block. Badrick's radio crackles. He picks it up and speaks to someone on the other side - Manji Fayard. He expresses his anger at Fayard for not staying in contact with him, but quickly moves onto his main point; he wants Fayard to send a group of Rastas from New York over to Willamette. He wants it done within the week, and Fayard says it can be done. Badrick turns to his driver and orders him to drive to the docks where they'll reside until the group of Rastas arrive by ship. As Badrick shuts off the radio, Dean mumbles out that he wants beer. Badrick looks down at him, grabs him by the jaw and says he can get it if he tells him where the rest of his friends are. He then lets go and lights up a cigar.

At the docks, Badrick steps out of the truck with his AK-47. Badrick is aware about a few of the mall survivors on a nearby container ship and is going to force Dean to watch his friends get slaughtered. Dean pleads for his friends' lives, but he gets punched in face by Derrick, making him stop talking. After waiting for the right moment, Badrick opens fire at the ship, immediately hitting one of the survivors. Badrick along with Derrick, Dean and the other Rasta move forward. As they arrive at the ramp, Badrick signals for his Rasta to move up. The Rasta is then shot in the head, their corpse tumbling backwards into Badrick, who pushes their body into the water. Stepping forward onto the ship, Badrick engages in a fight with Jacob Feldman. He notices Lloyd Waller sprinting away from the scene, and orders Derrick to chase him. Derrick knocks Dean out and runs after the kid. Now alone with Jacob, both of them go at each other, punch after punch, until Badrick eventually tumbles off to the side, dropping his knife in the process. He manages to get back to his feet, where he sees Jacob being tossed a grenade from Lloyd. They continue fighting until Badrick is able to jam his knife into Jacob's gut sending him to the floor. Jacob reaches for his grenade, but Badrick kicks it away. After taunting Jacob with his deceased girlfriend, he allows Jacob to grab the grenade, not believing he is vengeful enough to throw away his life. However, it turns out Jacob is willing to do just that. He pulls the pin. Badrick yells, turning around and diving for cover. The grenade explodes, sending debris everywhere. The ship splits into two as Badrick's suit is set on fire and half his face is severely burned. He tries to stay awake, but fails, going unconscious and falling into the water below.

#### "**Reunion**"

Having been last seen vanishing into the water, it is assumed Badrick has died until he reappears by whacking Dean Howards in the head with a shovel while his back is turned. With nobody else around, Badrick is able to pick up Dean and carry him away without anyone noticing.

#### "**The Mist**"

Down in the sewers of Willamette, Badrick slaps Dean, waking him up. Seeing him, Dean panics and yells, claiming that this wasn't real. Badrick grabs his jaw and shuts him up. As he does, he coughs up blood - he was slowly dying as a result of the explosion. He tells Dean this and says that all he wants before he goes is vengeance. Still not believing him to be real, Badrick punches Dean in the face, asking him if hallucinations can make you feel pain. Badrick stands up and tells Dean that he is going to kill all of his friends and Dean will play a crucial part in his plan. Dean is suddenly hit in the head with Badrick's shovel, knocking him out.

Somewhere in Willamette, Badrick is meeting with Nathaniel Shepard inside a house. It is explained in Nathaniel's words that Derrick helped bring Badrick to Nathaniel and his people on the road, who saved Badrick's life. The two sides now want to work together. Nathaniel is hesitant to work with him, even with Badrick's promise to contribute to his group once his shipment of Rastas arrive. Their conversation ends by Nathaniel telling Badrick to expect a visitor once his shipment does arrive.

In a dark alleyway, Badrick appears behind Clyde Rollins and puts a knife to his neck. With Clyde: Edward Remar and Robin Clarke. Edward looks over at Badrick and says that he made a big mistake showing himself. Badrick tells him to be careful with his words. Edward notices Badrick's mutilated face and points it out. Badrick smirks and says he got luckier than Jacob. As zombies approach Robin, he reaches for his gun. Badrick says that he pulls out a gun, Clyde dies. Robin shakes his head and tells Clyde that he's already dead. Benjamin and Solomon Reed appear out of the mist. Ben immediately points his gun, but doesn't shoot. Badrick chuckles as he slowly backs up down the alleyway keeping Clyde as a human shield. Robin eventually breaks, taking out his gun and taking a shot at Badrick. It misses, and Badrick gets ready to kill Clyde, but a second shot is fired at him by Benjamin. In desperation, Clyde tries to run for it, but is grabbed by Badrick. He promptly jams his knife into Clyde's eye. He tears it out and makes a run for it, hopping the fence and disappearing into the mist.

Returning to the sewers, Badrick wakes Dean and says that his big moment has come. He states that he may not have the men to take on his friends at the school, but he has something else. Derrick drags Dean out of the sewers following Badrick. They get into the truck and drive off.

The truck comes to a stop. Badrick grabs Dean and hoists him up and out of the truck. They were at a quarry - one filled with hundreds of zombies. "You're going to be our driver, Dean. You're going to lead our hungry guests to the door." Badrick tells Dean. Dean desperately tries to get him not to this, and says that they can come to an agreement. Badrick says that he and Derrick already met a new group who'll take them off to paradise soon. Dean begs, even getting into a praying position. As this happens, Badrick looks at the woods around him and sees something. He gets down and looks to Derrick, pointing ahead. There were three people in the woods. Badrick orders Derrick to pursue them. From the woods, Jim Butterman is heard shouting at Dean that they'll come back for him. Badrick steps over to Dean and looks down at him. He then grins, stepping onto his hand as Dean tries to crawl away.

#### "**Red Asphalt**"

Badrick sits in the bed of the truck with Dean tied up nearby. As they wait for Derrick's return, Badrick shows Dean the damage done to the truck: broken windows, bullet holes, scratches. "You won't be able to do this--" Dean is able to get out before Badrick tells him to keep it quiet. Moments later, the two see Derrick coming out of the woods dragging someone behind him. It's quickly found out the person he's dragging is Jim. Derrick informs Badrick that he wounded another and says the other two likely won't get far. Badrick nods his head and expresses his gratitude for getting the job done and bringing back the one he wanted. Badrick approaches Jim and kneels down, telling the old man that he's lost a lot of blood to his leg wound. He proceeds to stand up and has Derrick follow him to move the old truck that is keeping the zombies in the quarry.

When he and Derrick return to their captives and tell them what is going to happen: Dean sits in the front with Derrick, while Badrick and Jim sit in the back. Before proceeding, he looks down at Dean and tells him to admit that what he is about to do is right, and his friends deserve this. Dean doesn't say a word. "Fine. We'll have it your way. You're going to regret it." Badrick says. Badrick walks around the back and puts Jim into the back while Derrick sets Dean into the drivers seat. Before the four of them drive off, Badrick says he has something crucial to do.

On the road, the horde of roughly three-hundred zombies trails the truck. Getting closer to the school, Badrick tells Dean to speed up - and then speed up some more. He reminds Dean again that him not listening earlier was a bad idea.

Just outside of the school, the truck comes to a stop and Dean is thrown out onto the pavement. The survivors of the school looked on at him from the courtyard. Badrick then reveals himself, quickly grabbing Dean to use as a human shield. For the final time, Badrick tells Dean that he would regret not listening to him. He then has Dean turn around to look at the back of the truck. There, a mutilated Jim laid on the concrete; he had been chained to the back of the truck the entire time. Jim is hardly able to get out a sound before he dies. Dean looks at him - but only for a moment before he looks at Badrick and tells him that Badrick isn't going to win, he's just a little rat who'll die a painful death. As Dean finishes up, a dog from inside the school courtyard charges forward. Badrick shoots it in the head without hesitation. He turns to Derrick and says that it's time they be getting out of here. Just then, the horde of zombies turns the corner behind them. Badrick quickly throws Dean to the ground, gets in the truck with Derrick, and speeds off.

On top of a nearby roof, Badrick watches the chaos unfold. He hands Derrick an RPG and orders him to go down to the school and blow a hole in the entrance. Before Derrick rushes off, Badrick says that if he were to find Dean - kill him.

After most of the fighting and carnage had come to an end, Derrick strolls into the school, passing by the corpse of Derrick, where inside he comes face to face with Bruce Boseman. Badrick unsheathes his knife and takes down two zombies. Bruce tells Badrick to step up to him and prove his mettle. Badrick does so, and the two men fight. Bruce gets the upper-hand at first, but Badrick strikes back, nearly choking Bruce out, until zombies intervene in the fight. The battle between them would come to an end when Badrick lunged forward, pushing his knife into Bruce's stomach. Badrick backs away, leaving Bruce to limp away with zombies chasing him. Damerae disappears into the horde.

### **Season 4**

#### "**The Greater Good**"

Inside of the football stadium's infirmary, Badrick gets treated by Vivian Finkling, the nurse. After checking over his arm, Vivian examines Badrick's face, seeing little pieces of metal protruding. She grabs a pair of tweezers and says that this is going to hurt, but Badrick slaps her hand away. He doesn't want her messing with his face, only covering it. Badrick knows he can't be saved as his condition worsens day by day. Nathaniel, standing in the room, asks Vivian how Badrick's condition is. "Not--adequate." Vivian says. Badrick suddenly coughs up blood, it quickly turns into a hacking cough as he collapses to the floor. Vivian tells Nathaniel that she cannot guarantee his survival if he doesn't allow her to treat him. Nathaniel says it's fine and asks for a moment with Badrick. Vivian helps Badrick back up before she leaves. Nathaniel ambles over and asks Badrick if he knows when his ship will arrive. Badrick says he lost contact, but they should be arriving any day. Nate turns to his right-hand man, Daniel Rockwell and says that he must be confused. Daniel says he's a little disgusted, Badrick tells him to come tell him that to his face. "Sure.. which side?" Daniel responds, provoking Badrick to try and get up, but failing and groaning in pain. Nathaniel tells the two to take it down a level. Damerae says that when his men arrive, he wants to be taken to this mysterious island of Banoi that Nathaniel keeps talking about. Nate promises that he will, but for now Badrick should get some rest. Badrick is left alone as the two men leave the room.

#### "**The Promiseland**"

Seated in the infirmary, Badrick is treated by Vivian. He speaks to her, saying that he isn't in a good mood, then saying that he knows she doesn't like his face, but that he uses it as a badge of honour. Vivian doesn't speak to him. Badrick would then burst out coughing blood. Vivian sits him up straight and continues her work. Damerae tells Vivian that he hasn't been told if his condition is fatal since he arrived. To get the woman to respond, Badrick grabs Vivian's jaw. Vivian reluctantly says that Badrick will be recover under her care. Not buying her answer, he squeezes his hand more and asks her to admit the truth. She grunts and says that Badrick is a goner - there was never any chance for him to survive-- everything Nathaniel told him about his condition was a lie. Badrick thanks her and lets his hand go.

Later that day, Nathaniel stands in the infirmary with Badrick. Having already confronted him about it, Badrick asks to know how long he really has. Nathaniel promises him that he will survive to see the island. Badrick can sense the lie from him, but goes along with it. Daniel comes walking into the room to inform both of them that their personal escort for the tour of the stadium is here.

Exploring the storage area of the stadium, Badrick turns a corner where his eyes meet a group of familiar faces locked inside the cells; the mall survivors. He stands still for a moment before slowly turning to Nathaniel and asking where he found these people. Nate turns to Daniel, who says that he found them on the road. "Kill them." Badrick then bluntly states. Stunned at what he said, Nathaniel chuckles nervously and asks if he's serious. A furious Badrick approaches Daniel with haste and yells, demanding that he give him the keys to the cell. Badrick reaches for Daniel's pistol, but he quickly gets restrained by Lolida Windfield. As he is, he tells Nathaniel that he wants all of them dead. He then breaks out into a coughing fit, falling forward. On the floor, he says that he was at war with those people and he wants to deal with his unfinished business. Nathaniel says he can't do that. Badrick slowly gets to his feet, where he then overpowers Lolida and charges him into a wall. Lolida pushes his finger into the burnt part of Badrick's face. Damerae shouts in agony and falls. He crawls towards the cell and says that this time they won't escape him before he is dragged off.

Restrained inside the infirmary, Badrick's quiet is interrupted by Nathaniel entering. Nathaniel understands Badrick's rage, but says that they need to be on the same page since Badrick's men are scheduled to arrive in the next twenty-four hours. Badrick puts on a fake smile and apologizes for his outburst and says it won't happen again. Nathaniel smiles, thanking him and saying that he'll get the Vivian to bandage up his face before he heads out to meet with his men tomorrow. As Nathaniel leaves the room, Badrick grins devilishly.

#### "**Gunpoint**"

Vivian treats Badrick once more inside the infirmary. Badrick smiles and says that the two of them are starting to go hand-in-hand. She doesn't respond, making Badrick say that he may have offender her during their last meeting, which is why Nick Parker is in the room on guard. Badrick eyes Nick and tells him that he isn't needed here, but Nick remains in the room, saying that he was told by Nathaniel to stay here. Badrick relaxes and lets the nurse finish treating him. When she finishes, Badrick asks her name. She gives him her first name before leaving. Nathaniel then enters the room and sends Nick away before turning to Damerae. He informs Badrick that his men have been spotted on their boat and should arrive within the next fifteen minutes. Badrick asks to travel alone to meet them, but Nathaniel says he is in no shape to travel alone and insists that he be escorted. Badrick agrees to his proposal. Nathaniel walks out to inform his boys as a sly smile dawns on Badrick's face.

Seated in the back seat of a car, Badrick apologizes to Lolida for his outburst earlier. Lolida understands. Daniel and Grant Carver hop into the car as well and the four of them take off.

On the way there, Lolida asks Badrick why he wants the people in the cell dead. Badrick explains everything that occurred in Willamette. Grant, not buying his story, cuts Badrick off. Lolida tells Grant to cool it, which annoys Grant some more. Badrick eyes Lolida, checking his pockets. He then asks Lolida to tell Badrick about himself. Lolida explains that humanity is the one thing everyone needs to hold onto. Daniel cuts off the conversation by saying he needs to pull over to take a leak. "I understand. A man has to do... what a man has to do... right?" Badrick asks Lolida. "Right." He replies. Badrick smiles and quickly pulls out his knife. He pushes Lolida's head against the window, knocking him out. Grant unholsters his pistol and attempts to shoot Badrick, but misses. Badrick drives his knife in Grant's throat, killing him. Daniel looks in horror before letting go on the wheel to grab Badrick. The car spins out of control and crashes into a ditch.

#### "**Consequence**"

Badrick smokes a cigar as he stands in front of fifty men who have come to assist him. One of them, Delroy Shakir, is the second-in-command after Badrick. Damerae turns to his men and gives them a speech about all the chaos the mall survivors have caused and it's time for them to end it once and for all. He finishes by asking if his Rastas will help him. Delroy nods with a smile. Badrick asks Delroy to show him what they brought. Delroy leads him onto the ship to show him crates of supplies, weapons and ammunition. Badrick picks up a pistol and admires it. Suddenly, an explosion sends Badrick to the ground. The ship had been hit with an RPG. Badrick dives off of the ship when he sees another rocket fired directly at him. He is quickly escorted out of the water and into cover. There, he lays eyes on Benjamin Taylor. He taunts him by bringing up Sarah's name. Once more, Badrick sees a rocket about to be fired at him. He dives into the water as an explosion erupts behind him. His bandages fell off and his face began to burn.

After the attackers have all fled, Badrick comes out of the water completely soaked. He approaches Delroy who stands over the corpse of Mike Simpson. He orders Delroy to follow the attackers from a distance and wait for his command to attack.

#### "**All the King's Men**"

Standing amongst his men at the docks, he is shown what survived from the ship; loads of weaponry. Delroy hops over a railing and approached Badrick to inform him about the attackers they chased. Badrick is told that they were able to flee - all but one, who the Rastas shot to death. Badrick acknowledges the information and tells Delroy round everyone up. It was time for the attack on the stadium.

Damerae charges into the infirmary; the attack had already begun. Inside, Badrick spots Vivian and Lolida. Badrick tackles the nurse to the floor while Lolida hightails it out of there. "I have missed you, doctor." Badrick says, beginning to push his hands into her face. Vivian screams, scratching at Badrick's burnt face. Angered, Badrick pushes his two thumbs into Vivian's eyes. He continues this until she stops moving, unconscious, but not dead. Badrick grins as he unsheathes his knife.

Badrick stumbles through the hallways pursuing Lolida. He raises his pistol and fires a shot at him, but misses. He disappears into another hallway seeing Lolida group up with Daniel.

In a hallway, Badrick slowly makes his way, leaning onto the wall for support. He stumbles into a wall and hits his face. It was bleeding severely. He breaks into a coughing fit and falls to the floor. A group of Rastas spot Badrick and rush over to him. They tell him that the battle is sweeping up and they have to retreat. Badrick isn't willing to leave, not until all of them are dead. He gets up and pushes past them. However, hearing the pump of Edward's shotgun in the distance, he tells his men to get him up to a vantage point. The two Rastas escorting him tell him there is a cement mixer outside that they'll take him too. Badrick nods weakly.

Out in the parking lot, they were almost at the cement mixer. Suddenly the door behind them swings open - Edward. Badrick hears the door open and tells his Rastas. The two men let Badrick go and surround Edward on either side. It isn't long however until backup arrives to save Edward and kill the two Rastas. Badrick was all alone. Edward and Benjamin walk over to Badrick, laying on the floor and about to die. In his last moments, Badrick used all of his strength to smile at Edward. He begins to choke on his own blood. Edward yells and rushes forward to stop him from choking; he wasn't getting out that easy. Badrick spews bloods from his mouth before looking at and asking Edward if he'll feel satisfied knowing in the end, he wasn't the one to *truly* kill him. Edward stares at him and says he will. Benjamin approaches the two, Badrick notices him. He grins, asking Ben how his daughter is. "Look at you. I don't even need to raise a finger, and you're going to die regardless." Benjamin states, before turning around and walking away. Before he succumbs to his injuries, Edward yells out that he won't take the satisfaction away from him. He pulls out a knife and rapidly stabs Badrick over and over until he was dead.

#### "**Moment of Silence**"

Following the battle, Damerae Badrick's corpse lays in the parking lot next to Edward. A minute later, Edward, still not happy, beheads Badrick. Now zombified, Badrick's head is carried into the stadium's pitch and thrown down. After a long conversation with his friend, Clyde, Edward stomps on Badrick's head, finally ending him.

### **Season 5**

#### **"It All Comes Crashing Down"**

In a set of flashbacks by Edward, Badrick is seen pulling up into a limousine next to Edward. Badrick steps out and looks down at Edward, smiling to himself and saying that he can see Edward is destined for greater things. He tells him that the world is his oyster and all he has to do is reach out and take it - under Badrick's supervision.

In another flashback, Edward sits in the backseat of the limousine next to Badrick. Damerae asks the little man just how far he's willing to go to get what he wants.

### **Season 6**

#### **"A Brighter Future"**

Badrick shows up as a hallucinatory voice in Edward's head, criticizing and mocking him for caving in under pressure. He laughs, remarking that he thought Edward was made for being a leader, but clearly wasn't.

#### **"The Stranger"**

In a flashback, we see Badrick first arriving at Willamette with Edward. The two of them stand atop a hill overlooking the town, while Badrick tells Edward not to worry about his crippled leg, before asking the little man what he sees. Edward mutters a response that he sees a town. A disappointed Badrick explains to the man that he's seeing it the wrong way. What Badrick sees is resources, and a blank canvas waiting to be painted by him. He goes on further, saying that they're starting over from scratch, and that Edward needs to heed what he's telling him. Edward simply replies that he likes the world better this way, which is music to Badrick's ears. He pats the little man on his shoulder, while remarking that the two of them are focusing on what's ahead, while everyone else in this world is too busy mourning the deaths of loved ones. When he's finished, Edward asks Badrick if he can speak, which he grants him. Edward wants to know why Badrick is mentoring him. Badrick, smoking his cigar, tells him that he sees something different in Edward. He sees a rat who'll stop at nothing to survive, he sees a man driven by hatred, and through this, Badrick believes that he's found himself an attack dog in Edward. But he promises that in helping him, "a valuable piece of the pie I'm baking will be carved out for you. A piece of my new world." Chuckling, Badrick flicks his cigar to the ground and retreats to his limousine by the side of the road, where a familiar Rasta opens the back door for him: Derrick Williams. Badrick climbs in and out of view.

#### **"A House Divided"**

When Edward has a breakdown inside the washroom at Wichita Bank, he begins to have hallucinations of Badrick's voice, proud of Edward for becoming more like him. Slowly, Edward, shaking his head and smacking his cane off the wall, realizes that it's just his mind playing tricks on him, and Badrick isn't actually speaking to him. He hits himself in the head again and again, asking to be left alone, and Badrick's voice simply responds, "But... I am alone," before fading away.

## **Relationships**

**Edward Remar**

"*Do you-- feel… sa--satisfied? Was all the-- hell-- you went through… worth it? Will it feel good knowing… you weren’t the one-- to truly kill me?*"
—Badrick to Edward in his last moments[src]

Badrick first encounters Edward a couple of weeks into the apocalypse as he was killing his mother’s killers, and was impressed enough to take the man on as his protégé. Still recovering from the death of his mother, Edward, frightened of Badrick, reluctantly leads him to the town of Willamette, where Badrick decides to set up operations. Their relationship continues upward, and Badrick shows trust in Edward by promoting him to oversee a factory producing bullets. However, it’s around this time that Badrick takes Sarah Taylor, a girl with cancer, hostage, in order to get her father, Benjamin Taylor, to do his bidding. Edward bonds with Sarah, and he eventually turns on Badrick by orchestrating the girl’s escape.
From here on out, Edward becomes one of Badrick’s primary enemies, and he nearly kills him in “Warzone”, but Edward escapes when Benjamin and his forces attack. Upon learning that Sarah died moments after reuniting with her father, Edward becomes hellbent on killing Badrick.
Their rivalry only worses in “The Mist” when Badrick gravely injures Edward’s close friend, Clyde Rollins, forcing Edward to choose between chasing Badrick or saving his friend’s life. In the end, he lets Badrick go.
In “Consequence”, Edward, alongside Benjamin and a group of others, discover where Badrick and his gang is located. They attack him, intending to end Badrick once and for all, but it fails miserably.
After finding out Badrick and his gang were attacking a nearby stadium, Edward concludes that he won’t let Badrick escape again. During the battle, while a dying Badrick is being escorted to safety, Edward ambushes him, killing his escort. In his last moments, Badrick, knowing he’s already a goner, torments Edward a final time. Furious, Edward unleashes his anger and stabs him to death.
Even after Badrick’s death, Edward continues to have hallucinations and nightmares about Badrick, as he sees himself slowly turning into the same cruel person that Badrick was.

**Benjamin Taylor**

"*I feel nothing. I don’t care about you. I’m not going to stress over you again. Look at you. I don’t even need to raise a finger, and you're going to die regardless.*"
—Benjamin to Badrick after his last attempt to torment him fails[src]

Badrick and Benjamin were enemies from the day they met. After Badrick finds out that Sarah, a hostage of his, is Benjamin’s daughter, he forces Benjamin and his group into instigating conflict with the mall group. Over the course of most of Season 2, Badrick continues using Benjamin and his forces to do his work for him, knowing that Benjamin would not risk attacking him in fear of losing his daughter. Eventually, Sarah is freed by Clyde and brought back to Benjamin, where she dies of her disease in his arms. A devastated Benjamin then begins a war spiraling Willamette into a state of chaos.
Badrick shows no remorse for the demise of Sarah, and even uses the girl’s death to taunt Benjamin on several occasions in their later run-ins. The war between them would eventually conclude in “Home”, where the last of Benjamin’s forces are killed, but Benjamin himself survives.
After the war, Benjamin sets a goal of killing Badrick. He wouldn’t run into Badrick until “The Mist”, though, where Benjamin tries chasing him, but Edward pleads with him to instead help the injured Clyde to safety.
Their next encounter comes during “Consequence”, where Benjamin and his group attack Badrick and his gang at the docks. During the fight, Mike Simpson, a close associate of Benjamin, is killed. Mike’s last words cause Benjamin to lose his motivation to kill Badrick.
During the final fight against Badrick at the football stadium, Benjamin remains out of the battle until the very end, where he and Edward confront Badrick. Nearly dead, Badrick uses his last bit of energy to try and torment Benjamin once more with the death of Sarah, but it doesn’t work this time.

**Dean Howards**

"*You’re-- pathetic. All you do - you attempt to scramble for a reaction- You pick, tear at anything you can- You try your best to pull away the flesh, to expose the insides, no-- I’m not having it. You won’t win. It doesn’t matter how many zombies there are - how many people you have. This whole time-- you were just a little rat. You’re going to die a painful death. Look at yourself in the mirror. That’s what you're going to be. That one side of your face-- a corpse.*"
—Dean to Badrick[src]

Following the destruction of the mall, Badrick and his remaining Rastas attack the former mall inhabitants, taking three of them hostage, one of them being Dean Howards. After Teddy Powell is killed and Jim Butterman escapes, Dean is left as Badrick’s only hostage. He is tormented and beaten relentlessly, and Badrick seemingly eventually breaks him when Dean confesses that his group is hiding in the ruins of the mall (unaware that there actually were members of his group there).
When Badrick investigates the mall, he finds and kills Curtis Van Horn, another good friend of Dean, right in front of him. A traumatized Dean doesn’t even attempt to escape while he can, and allows himself to continue being a hostage of Badrick’s.
Dean remains a hostage up until Jacob Feldman’s suicide attack on Badrick, which finally frees Dean from his grasp.
Dean does not have long to recover, as in “Reunion”, Badrick rekidnaps Dean, taking him to a quarry where he reveals a large horde of zombies he plans to use to kill the rest of Dean’s group. Jim Butterman, another close friend of Dean, is then kidnapped by Badrick. In order to punish and torment Dean one last time, Badrick has him unknowingly be responsible for the death of Jim.
The death of Jim completely breaks Dean, and although they never interact again, Dean remains traumatized from the time he spent as Badrick’s hostage, never fully recovering from his involvement in Jim’s death.

**Clyde Rollins**
Badrick and Clyde first run into each other at the town hall, Badrick’s new homebase. Clyde is taken prisoner and locked in the basement, where he spends much of the next few days, with Badrick neglecting to even give Clyde food or water. Upon learning that Clyde was freed from his cell and escaped with Sarah, Badrick is furious.
The next time both men came face to face wasn’t until a season later during “The Mist”, where Badrick holds Clyde hostage while giving Edward Remar instructions. However, when Robin Clarke shoots at him, Badrick decides to jam his knife into Clyde’s eye, intending to kill him, but he luckily ends up surviving.
The two of them wouldn’t interact again, but Badrick leaves Clyde with one of his eyes no longer of use.

**Derrick Williams**

"*It’s a miracle I’m still alive, I know… I was very fortunate to have a loyal man save me back on the ship. If Derrick was afraid of the water, I would not be here right now.*"
—Badrick to Dean Howards about Derrick[src]

Although not seen, it can be assumed Derrick was fighting for Badrick during the war between him and Benjamin Taylor.
After the war, Derrick is one of the last few Rastas alive, and he’s promoted to lieutenant, becoming Badrick’s most trusted man still with him. Derrick shows extreme loyalty and dedication to Badrick, following him into the most dangerous scenarios and listening to orders. Badrick makes it known during several conversations with Dean Howards that he greatly appreciates Derrick’s loyalty.
In “State of Mind”, a ship that Badrick is on blows up, and the man seemingly sinks to his death. However, Derrick risks his life to save Badrick from drowning. He brings the dying man to another community, where Badrick’s life is saved.
With the help of Derrick, who’s now the last Rasta Badrick has, Badrick rounds up a large horde of zombies to use against the survivors of Willamette High School.
During the raid against the high school, Derrick once again listens to Badrick’s orders without hesitation, walking into the heat of the battle to blow open the gate to the school.
Badrick later finds Derrick’s corpse, the man having fought for him until the very end.

**Sarah Taylor**

"*Benjamin. This is quite the reunion, you must still be mad for your little girl. Sarah. Tell me… did you formulate this entire stupid attack, against all odds… because of your anger?*"
—Badrick taunting Benjamin about Sarah[src]

When Badrick’s men first come across Sarah, a girl dying of cancer, he shows some genuine compassion, and promises to Edward Remar that he’d make sure the girl got a final few days of peace before her cancer took her. However, upon learning that Sarah was the daughter of Benjamin Taylor, a man with a large group in Willamette, he loses any compassion he might have had, and uses Sarah to force Benjamin into starting conflict with others and doing his dirty work. On one occasion, Badrick even holds a knife to Sarah’s neck, threatening to kill her if Benjamin did not listen to him.
After Sarah dies moments after being reunited with her father, Benjamin begins a war against Badrick because of it. Badrick shows zero remorse or sympathy for Sarah’s death, and even taunts Benjamin about his daughter’s death several times.

**Jacob Feldman**

"*You’re underestimating what I hold dear to me. You’re not understanding what I want most-- **to see you die**.*"
—Jacob’s last words to Badrick before trying to kill him[src]

Although having interacted with him very few times, Jacob was one of Badrick’s main enemies alongside Benjamin and Edward. He was one of the leaders of the mall group in Willamette, and often clashed with Badrick and his gang.
During one particular attack against The Rastas, Jacob’s girlfriend, Erin Monroe, and her unborn child are killed by Jackson Foxx, a Rasta working for Badrick. Jacob is absolutely devastated by the loss of Erin. Although he manages to kill Jackson, Jacob still isn’t satisfied, and won’t be until he sees Badrick dead.
Jacob is unable to forget about the death of Erin, and when Badrick and Jacob finally fight each other in a one on one in “State of Mind”, Jacob lets the emotional side of him take over. While fighting on a ship, Jacob pulls the pin on a grenade, killing himself while seemingly killing Badrick in the process. However, it’s revealed Badrick survived the blast, albeit severely injuring him, and over time, his injuries from this moment get worse and worse until he’s barely able to function, leading to his death at the hands of Edward Remar.

**Michael Hall**

"*I barely escaped the last encounter in this fight with my life, I don’t care anymore. I am done working with the Rastas, and I am done being Badrick’s pawn.*"
—Michael to Jackson about Badrick and The Rastas[src]

Michael is revealed to be working as a lieutenant for Badrick in “Partners in Crime”. With one of Badrick's primary conflicts being with the survivors of Willamette Mall, a group that Michael despises for killing his two sons, Michael is a seemingly loyal and deadly man working for Badrick. He shows off these two traits when he leads a group of Rastas into trying to stop Badrick’s train from being robbed, and when he gets in the way of Clyde Rollins, who’s trying to escape with Sarah Taylor, a hostage of Badrick’s.
After Badrick begins a war with Benjamin Taylor, a disgruntled Michael decides that this isn’t worth his trouble, and so he betrays The Rastas and goes into hiding.
Later on, Michael would join the same group Badrick is fighting against, and dies while fighting Rastas.
