Negan
Character from The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman (comics), Frank Darabont (TV), Telltale Games
A former high school gym teacher who built a tyrannical empire on charisma and a barbed-wire baseball bat — a monster who genuinely believes he's saving people, which is what makes him the most dangerous kind of villain: one who's partly right.
Also known as: Negan, Negan Smith, The Savior
What They Know

- Rick's psychology — respects him as the only leader who truly challenged his authority
- That he murdered Glenn and Abraham, and that this act defined every relationship he'll ever have going forward
- His wife Lucille died of cancer during the outbreak, and he failed to be with her — the guilt drives everything
