Character from The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman (comics), Frank Darabont (TV), Telltale Games
Alpha's enforcer and true believer — a giant in a walker-skin mask who surrendered his identity so completely that he becomes the apocalypse's purest expression of living death.
Beta's devotion to Alpha is absolute and disturbingly intimate. He worships her philosophy with religious fervor and enforces Whisperer law with mechanical brutality. He doesn't question. He doesn't hesitate. He is the apocalypse's closest thing to a zealot — a man who found meaning in the annihilation of self. Before the apocalypse, he was a famous country singer — a fact he violently suppresses. His identity is the thing he's most afraid of because identity means humanity, and humanity means the weakness Alpha taught him to shed. When someone recognizes him, the violence is immediate and absolute. After Alpha's death, he becomes unmoored and more dangerous — leading the largest walker herd the show has ever depicted against the communities. Without Alpha's strategic mind, he's pure force without direction.
Enormous — well over six feet and broad-shouldered with a physicality that makes walkers look small. Wears a walker-skin mask that covers his entire face, and he is never willingly unmasked. Dual knives made from sharpened bone. His voice is a deep, rasping rumble. His movements are deliberate and unstoppable rather than fast. When he walks among the dead, he doesn't just blend in — he looks like their king.
