**Trent Otto** is a main character and a former antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's *Tales of The Armageddon*. He is the youngest son of Jerome and Trisha, the younger brother of Jeremy, and the last surviving member of his family until his immediate death. Trent is also a former high-ranking member of the Hidden Creek Ranch community before being exiled. He is considered to be a dark psychopath but hides it with his intense charisma. He served as the primary antagonist of the episode "100" and the second half of Season 3.

## Overview

The youngest son of Jerome Otto, Trent has embraced the violence of the outbreak. He would kill to protect his father, his family, and his people – and often does. Despite growing up in the same environment as his brother, he developed a wilder personality without the tempering that his brothers education has given him. He is intensely suspicious of outsiders and more militant than his younger brother.

Trenthas a dark side and while he presents as something of a psychopath and a sadist, he has an intense charisma that draws people to him. Trent's isolationist viewpoint is more in line with his father's beliefs, and that may make him better-suited to leading in this new post-apocalyptic world. It may also make him more popular among his father's followers.

In "The Good Man", he thinks through killing Nicholas after watching the latter slash his father's throat out of rage, but eventually withdrawals from executing him. This proves that he is not fully psychopathic and has a more humane side. His childhood is the main influence of his dark side and his killing instinct, as a "hateful" father didn't provide him with love throughout his life. Even when Jerome was dying, as he helped him, he still resented him. He is shown to be quite intelligent and quick thinking despite his lack of education.

In "Things Bad Begun", Trent shows a more human side while discussing his affection for Nick with her. Trent reveals that he feels genuine affection for Nicholas and sees him as a potential soldier. However, the episode shows the extent of Trent's darker side with him displaying no remorse for the lives he took when destroying the ranch. Trent shows a belief that it was his to destroy as his family founded it and despite everyone there dying, he states that he would do it again in a second without hesitation.

## Death

**Killed By**

* Himself (Caused)
* Madison Cook (Caused, Alive)
* Zombies (Alive)

After revealing to Madison that he was the one responsible for killing Trevor, she becomes blinded with rage and shoots him in the chest, causing him to collapse to the ground. As he begins to bleed out, Madison shoots him another three times in the chest before tossing him over the Greenhouse dam and breaking both of his legs and his spine. As he suffers from his fractured wounds, he awakens the zombified Greenhouse dam residents that he threw off the dam earlier. The zombified residents begin to drag him into their pile and devour him. Due to his brain not being destroyed, he most likely reanimated later on.

As he begins to reanimate, Nicholas decides to detonate the Greenhouse Farm which is rigged with dynamite that was orginally planted by Trent in hopes of killing the Grimes family and the Greenhouse Farm residents, incinerating all the zombified Greenhouse residents inside, amongst them is a zombified Trent Otto.
