* SmallRoleBigImpact: They only appear in one episode, but Michonne being forced to kill them leads to her severing ties with the other communities and refusing to let strangers into Alexandria. This in turn makes it easier for Alpha to infiltrate the Kingdom disguised as an Alexandrian resident and abduct several people, since the communities being apart for so long have made it harder for them to recognize one another. Michonne herself acknowledges this to Ezekiel in the Season 9 finale. Michonne finds it difficult to talk about them even when she reunites with Rick in ''The Ones Who Live''.

This spares his life, since if he was an "A", they would have killed him for being a potential threat to their power.
