"Fortitudo Salutis!" ^note

"The people that attacked us... We only knew two things about them. They come at night, and by the time you see them, you're already dead."

— Maggie Rhee

A group of Afghanistan War vets following Maggie Rhee and the Wardens back to the Alexandria region.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: They conquered Meridian for themselves prior to Maggie’s return at the end of Season 10.
Apocalypse Cult: They are a religious group, as Nicholls is shown praying after being wounded and Negan later finds a burned body tied to a tree with a sign marked "JUDAS" hanging above its head. “Rendition” makes it clear most of their ideology is based on a mad devotion to God.
Arc Villain: They're introduced in the episode after the Whisperers' defeat, and end up taking the reins as the main antagonists for the first third and one episode of Season 11.
Asshole Victim: They slaughtered an entire town including families, so they all deserved their gruesome deaths.
Badass Crew: When during your first group attack on-screen, you kill/cause the deaths of three people and send the rest scattering into the forest, you definitely count. Just three of them do a good job battling the horde on their own in "For Blood".
Became Their Own Antithesis: For being soldiers who were originally deployed during the War on Terror, they ultimately became a bunch of religious zealots and terrorists like they were ostensibly deployed to deal with themselves.
Canon Foreigner: They aren't based off any group from the comics.
Central Theme: The Reaper arc mostly revolves around the Cycle of Revenge that Pope instigates unprovoked and the price one pays for it. The Reapers take Meridian unprovoked so that Pope could have someone to go to war with, and end up losing their numbers due to Maggie and the group coming to retake their home. Leah survives the conflict and is killed when she tries to wipe out Maggie’s family in revenge. In a season that has revolved heavily around Maggie’s hatred towards Negan, it’s all the more poignant when Maggie manages to finally overcome her hate for him and gain a new ally, while Leah ultimately dies broken, alone and insane with bloodlust.
Churchgoing Villain: A group of Religious Bruiser's, they formed a chapel at Meridian in which they regularly attend services, with Mancea serving as their resident preacher.
Climax Boss: The final battle with the Reapers takes place in the first episode of Part 2 of Season 11, with the remaining two thirds of the season to go.
Cool Mask: The Reapers wear some pretty badass masks as shown in the page image (and their respective character sheets).
Curb-Stomp Battle: They ambush the group on the road and slaughter three of them while the rest are forced to retreat into the woods.
Dark Is Evil: They all wear mostly black, in part due to the fact they’re vets and likely kept their gear and stealth clothes from when they were mercenaries.
Disc-One Final Boss: They are defeated by the first episode of Part 2 of Season 11, making them the penultimate group of antagonists defeated within the series before the Milton's and Lance Hornsby, who serve as the final batch of antagonists for the remainder of the series.
Dwindling Party: Pope says they used to be far more numerous, but they lost many of their members in Afghanistan, and Leah says many were killed by walkers.
- Montanio kills himself after being caught by Maggie’s group in "Home Sweet Home".
- Nicholls is executed by Father Gabriel and Turner is mortally wounded by Maggie and Negan in "Hunted" before dying in "Rendition".
- Pope executes Bossie in "Rendition".
- As of "For Blood", Wells, Powell, Ancheta, Deaver, and Pope himself have all been killed, reducing their numbers to under ten.
- In "No Other Way", Fisher, Austin, Mancea, Jenson, Boone, Washington, and Carver are all picked off by Maggie's group, leaving Leah as the Sole Survivor.
- In "Acts of God", Leah is shot in the head by Daryl before she can kill Maggie, thus killing all the Reapers.
Establishing Character Moment: While it's not their first on-screen appearance, they establish themselves as a group by attacking Daryl, Maggie, Negan and their group by shooting Roy in the head with a arrow.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For as awful as they are, they do love each other as an adopted family.
Even Evil Has Standards: Despite viewing Pope as their purported father figure, the Reapers all live in fear of him due to his violent, erratic sociopathy. Several of them are scared watching him sadistically kill Bossie for perceived failure.
Evil Is Petty: Leah reveals they're hunting Maggie simply to make sure she doesn't come back looking for revenge. Many of them display childlike glee towards their victims and they also hang their victims upside down as walkers in their former home of Meridian.
Evil Learns of Outside Context: The Reapers are not familiar with Alexandria, only Maggie's comparatively smaller group, the Wardens. One Reaper comes up on the outskirts of Alexandrian territory, but he commits suicide when caught. Daryl uses the Reapers' unfamiliarity with Alexandria against them by lying that Alexandria was wiped out after losing a war years ago, and claiming that Maggie has dozens of soldiers waiting for her in order to keep Pope on a wild goose chase.
Family of Choice: They’ve come to view each other as honorary brothers and sisters, with Pope as the father figure.
Filler Villain: A group of antagonists created for the show who menace the group between the Whisperer and Commonwealth arcs, stories that are actually adapted from the comic.
Final Solution: When they find a community to take, they not only conquer it, but hunt down any survivors of their attack as a final act of spite and to prevent anybody from coming back for revenge.
From Camouflage to Criminal: They're war vets turned mercenaries turned post-apocalyptic terrorists.
Hate Sink: They invite practically no audience sympathy given they're a bunch of unrepentant terrorists who are led by a man who revels in pain and bloodshed he inflicts on people he declares his enemies for bullshit reasons. Their Moral Myopia also makes them repulsive given they hate the group for killing their members when they instigated the war with Maggie. Only a handful of them are fleshed out and those few have little to no humanizing traits besides Leah. Maggie's wiping them out, while brutal, is more than deserved.
Hero Killer: They kill three Mauve Shirt members of the Wardens (Cole, Duncan, and Frost), two longtime residents of Hilltop (Marco and Roy), and an ex-Savior turned loyal member of the group (Alden).
Hired Guns: After returning from a tour in Afghanistan, the group resorted to taking on mercenary work as a way to cope with the fact that they couldn’t cope with readjusting to civilian life. Pope says it paid their bills better than their time as soldiers ever did.
It's All About Me: They took Meridian and violently evicted the Wardens, killing many of them, just because they wanted their place to stay and their resources for their own.
Karmic Death: All but Leah are wiped out by Maggie in a Final Solution similar to the one they inflicted on the residents of Meridian. Leah herself eventually is killed as punishment for continuing Pope’s psychopathic crusade.
Kill It with Fire: They killed some of Maggie's people by setting their cabin on fire and trapping them inside as they burned to death. It’s later revealed that the Reapers see this as a sort of test to see if they are supposedly chosen by God, with any survivors of such a trap being considered worthy. Ironically, Pope kills one of his Reapers this way.
Lack of Empathy: They have no regard for people outside of their group and take glee in slaughtering Maggie’s people.
Last-Name Basis: As befitting a military unit, they refer to each other by their last names.
Living Emotional Crutch: Leah's adopted son and the other Reapers were this for her. Without them, she goes completely off the rails.
Made of Iron: Many of them are shown to be very physically durable, able to shrug off knife wounds and fall from great heights without any serious injury.
Malevolent Masked Men: They wear sinister-looking masks that look like they came right out of the Purge movies.
Mildly Military: The one member the group encounters in Season 10 seems to have some sort of military training. He uses camouflage, knows how to set traps, and carries a sniper rifle and grenades — weapons that are in extremely short supply at this stage in the apocalypse. It is confirmed in "Rendition" that they are from the military.
Missing Mom: Leah's adopted sister was killed in a walker attack, leaving her to raise her baby as her own until he too perished.
Moral Myopia: For all their losses and trauma from the horrors of war, none of them seem to particularly care that they took a community from a group of people unprovoked and slaughtered families and children alike. They all develop a murderous hatred for the group simply because they’re killing Reapers in self-defense.
Never My Fault: They act completely appalled when they lose their cohorts to the group and cannot process that they drew Maggie's wrath by attacking her first.
Non-Uniform Uniform: Though they share a similar fashion style of retrofitted military gear and dark jackets, each member of the Reapers has a different head covering, typically mask.
Oddly Small Organization: As Maggie says, they’re not a particularly large group. What they lack in numbers they make up for with weapons leftover from their tours of duty, tactics, and ferocity; as well as the fact that the Coalition is in no shape for a prolonged fight due to still being in dire straits in the aftermath of the Whisperer War.
Outside-Context Villain: For the Coalition due to being far outside their territory. They don’t learn of the Reapers until Maggie returns being hunted by them. They were also this to the Wardens since they attacked Meridian unprovoked.
Religious Bruiser: A Badass Crew of Christian army vets.
The Remnant: Leah related how the Reapers suffered an attack from a horde of walkers that wiped out so many of their group that she figured they had all died in the chaos. Pope also confirms they lost a lot of their members both before and after the apocalypse began.
Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: They’re violent individuals who hated the government that sent them into the war in Afghanistan, crow about their faith-based doctrine, and consider themselves the “chosen ones”.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Pope makes it clear that the group is a deeply traumatized team of veterans from the war in Afghanistan. He mentions that many of them couldn’t sleep, find a job, or live their lives after returning from their last tour - all basic elements of PTSD.
Silent Antagonist: When hunting under the cover of night, they do not speak to give themselves the element of surprise and to use it as an intimidation tactic.
Skeletons in the Coat Closet: Many of their masks are stylized after skulls which, when in costume, gives them a suitably menacing appearance.
The Spook: In Season 10 we know nothing about them other than that they conquered Maggie's village, slaughtered most of her people, and have specifically marked her for death at the hands of "Pope" (whether that's someone's name or a title is also unknown).
Super-Persistent Predator: They tracked Maggie and the surviving Wardens across the state of Virginia.
The Scourge of God: They believe themselves to be this, which is how they justify their actions.
Two Girls to a Team: Only two female Reapers are ever seen in the present day. According to Leah, there was at least one more, the biological mother of the boy who went on to become her adopted son.
Villainous Friendship: With the arguable exception of Pope, they do genuinely care for each other and have each other's backs.
Villain Has a Point: Leah saying the Reapers hunting Maggie just so she doesn't try to come and retake Meridian sounds pretty petty and delusional coming from someone following a lunatic like Pope. However, one of the main themes of the series is how one should always make absolutely sure your enemies do not survive and come back to haunt you. On paper, it's not a dumb decision. The only problem is that the Reapers took Meridian purely for their own needs, slaughtered children and families, and some even took sadistic glee in doing so, meaning they are not in the right.
We Hardly Knew Ye: All the Reapers sans Pope, Leah, Carver, and Mancea have very little revealed about them before they bite it.
What Happened to the Mouse?: A few Reapers seen in group shots in "Rendition" are not seen explicitly being defeated by the group, such as the other female Reaper besides Leah present at Daryl's initiation. However, Leah's later appearances after "No Other Way" make it clear no other Reaper survived the conflict with Maggie, meaning they must have been killed offscreen (Negan does mention that he and Elijah lost a Reaper tailing them, for what it's worth).
Would Hurt a Child: During the taking of Meridian they slaughtered entire families, children included.

Leadership

Pope

"Your brothers are dead! Are you not ashamed?"

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Rendition"

"When the fires finally died down, I looked at my people... I could not believe it. Not a trace of blood. No burn marks. Not even a scratch. And that's when I knew. We were the chosen ones."

The Leader of the Reapers. A sociopathic, insane warmonger and Afghanistan war veteran who became convinced by his unit surviving Operation: Cobalt that they were hand-picked by God to deliver judgement onto others. Unfortunately, this judgement for Pope meant massacring innocent people unprovoked. He violently claimed Meridian for his own and now seeks to kill Maggie to ensure his conquest is complete.

Abusive Parents: As the father figure of the Reapers, he does a pretty poor job at it since he’s also a Bad Boss. He berates his people for things that aren’t their fault, viciously insults them on a whim, and is happy to kill them if he deems that they have failed him.
A God Am I: From his first appearance, he makes it clear he believes he and God are one and the same.
Arch-Enemy: He views Maggie as his… for the rather petty reason that he doesn’t want her coming to retake Meridian after he took it from her. He becomes so obsessed with destroying her, who he sees as the main threat to his power, that the lives of his troops begin to mean nothing to him. It’s arguable that given his paranoia, delusions and bloodlust, he would’ve eventually come to view somebody as his enemy just to have someone to fight.
Arc Villain: The main direct antagonist for Part 1 of Season 11 who dies at the end of the eight-episode run.
Asshole Victim: He was a psychopathic, hostile, insane and terrible boss to his own men so when Leah kills him for being a Bad Boss, no one is going to miss him.
Ax-Crazy: He's sadistic, enjoys killing people he deems his enemies - and as time goes on is more than happy to kill people in his own "family".
Bad Boss: He’s very rude and condescending to Leah and his subordinates. They live in fear of him despite regarding him as their father and leader. He nearly kills Leah while trying to test Daryl for membership, and mercilessly kills Bossie for supposed cowardice in battle. He later screams angrily at the Reapers for failing to find Maggie’s group despite not doing much to help the situation himself. In "For Blood", he doesn't seem to care about Wells' death and tries to open fire on a horde of walkers while ignoring that his own people would be killed in the crossfire. This last act ends up him getting killed by Leah.
Bad People Abuse Animals: He had a blue tick dog that struggled to trust him, and when it bit him, he strangled it to death.
Bait the Dog: He gently consoles Bossie and thanks him for bringing the slain Michael Turner back home, but later decides to kill him brutally after accusing him of cowardice.
Bald of Evil: A bald, hostile leader of a group of psychopaths.
Became Their Own Antithesis: Claims to hate politicians who sent men to die without caring for their lives, but that's exactly what he becomes - a lazy, hypocritical coward who actively sets up his people to die for his cause.
Big Bad Ensemble: As the leader of the Reapers, he's the first antagonist of the show's final season. While he’s the most direct traditional antagonist, the other apparent threat of the season so far is the Commonwealth, which is Ambiguously Evil up to the penultimate episode of Season 11A.
Big Bad Wannabe: Ultimately proves to be this as his instability and We Have Reserves mindset end up causing his death at the hands of his own subordinate, Leah. He never leaves Meridian to do his own dirty work and thus never even directly fights Maggie.
Blood Knight: He gets noticeably more excited as the conflict with Maggie heats up in "For Blood". His whole beef with her is probably mostly to give himself somebody to go to war against again and satisfy his homicidal urges.
Canon Foreigner: As with the rest of his group, he’s an original creation for the show.
Create Your Own Villain: More than likely deliberately invoked. He started the war with Maggie by taking Meridian completely unprovoked, possibly just to give himself an enemy to fight since she’d likely come back for revenge.
Didn't See That Coming: His last facial expression is of pure astonishment that Leah has turned on him and is killing him.
Disc-One Final Boss: He is killed at the end of the first part of Season 11 with two parts of the season still to go and nine Reapers left, including Leah who takes over from him.
The Dreaded: The Reapers live in fear of him due to being insane and willing to kill his own people. In “On the Inside”, a temperamental Carver arrogantly demands to not have to go with Daryl on a mission. Pope takes one slow, deliberate look at Carver, not changing his expression or saying a word, and that’s all it takes for Carver to shut up and fall in line.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He claims to embody this trope due to declaring the Reapers his children, but as time goes on it's clear he has no regard for any human life beyond his own.
Even Evil Has Standards: The only time Pope shows any contrition for his actions is when he ridicules Leah’s feelings for Daryl, mockingly saying he’s only trying to get in her pants. When he receives an appropriately offended reaction, he backpedals and is more conciliatory, suggesting he knows he crossed a line. Otherwise, he shows there’s no low he won’t go to.
Expy: He’s a bald, depraved, insane cult leader with a thick Southern drawl much like Alpha before him.
Faux Affably Evil: When he’s in a good mood he acts like a wise, comforting father/preacher figure, but it’s clear none of his Reapers are fooled since they live in fear of his wrath. Daryl is also far too smart to fall for it considering he nearly got him and Leah burned to death.
Flat Character: He doesn’t get much development outside of being a fundamentalist hypocrite and a psychopath.
Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses and is an especially loathsome human being.
The Fundamentalist: He doesn’t like that Daryl doesn’t believe in God and quickly begins trying to brainwash him with his teachings. By the end of part 1 of Season 11 it becomes clear it’s less faith in God and more like faith in him.
Greater-Scope Villain: Pope is the yet-to-be-seen threat who has targeted Maggie and her people in Season 10, and he is not properly introduced until Season 11.
Hate Sink: He has almost no redeeming qualities and exists entirely to invite revulsion from the audience.
Horrifying the Horror: Carver gets off on slowly ripping off a man’s fingernails and is angry when he’s ordered to stop, but one ominous look from Pope is enough to cow even a sadistic psychopath like him.
Hypocrite: Like many religious extremists, the defining characteristic of Pope is that he is a mess of contradictions despite claiming to be a holy, righteous man.
- He chastises Daryl for not believing in God and only believing in himself, believing it to be an affront to God since he is not Him. Earlier in the episode, however, with his “God is angry, I am angry”, he is comparing himself to the Lord almost in an A God Am I fashion, which gives him little ground to criticize someone else for seemingly placing themselves as important as God. In “For Blood” he outright rants that he is equal to God.
- Pope orders Bossie to give Daryl some food, and when he hesitates, insists his subordinate not be greedy. The food the Reapers are eating was what they pillaged from an innocent community that was far larger than the Reapers, meaning they are now indulging in excess by default.
- He complains about how as veterans returning from the war in Afghanistan, many of his teammates couldn’t afford to make ends meet and keep places to stay. This didn’t stop him from bloodily conquering Meridian for himself and his team, forcing the Wardens to flee.
- He still hates the politicians who gave his team hits to carry out as mercenaries a decade after the fall, yet his group has devoted themselves to the hit they have placed on Maggie and anyone aligned with her. In “For Blood”, he willingly sends his troops to almost certain death and dismissing them as needed sacrifices despite hating politicians for doing the same.
- For all his bullshit about the family his group is and how they must treasure each other, he murders Bossie as punishment and deliberately steps on him to keep him pinned in the campfire. Some family. This ends up getting worse as time goes on and he grows more callous towards the lives of his subordinates.
- He rants and screams at the Reapers for failing to find Maggie’s group, accusing them of not doing enough to avenge their fallen comrades and chastising them for being ineffective. Yet he has not left Meridian once since his debut.
- He screams at Leah that he is in the difficult position of keeping the Reapers alive, yet he killed Bossie for made-up reasons a few episodes prior and ultimately turns murderous towards his own people in his crusade against Maggie.
- He gave Daryl his philosophy of the Reapers being chosen by God and being worthy, but later asks Daryl why he bothers keeping him around when he produces little valuable intel on Maggie. This gets called out by Daryl since he answers that Pope is the one who said he was chosen by God to be a Reaper.
If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: He orders Daryl to torture Frost to prove his loyalty, and clearly intends to have him shot by Carver if he refuses.
Implied Death Threat: His story to Daryl about how he murdered his dog for biting him is a clear warning shot to what he will do to him if he also turns on him.
Insane Troll Logic: He concludes that Bossie was a Dirty Coward because he had a knife wound to his back, in spite of the many scenarios where someone can be injured from behind that don't involved cowardice.
Karmic Death: Leah holds him down with her foot as she kills him, just like Pope did to Bossie in "Rendition". He is killed by one of his most loyal family members as payback for how he has doffed all loyalty to his people by being willing to kill them.
Kick the Dog: He’s an asswipe to his people, but one particular instance is when Leah pleads for Daryl to be given a chance to join them, he spits back that Daryl just wants to get in her pants. Leah looks appropriately disgusted, and Pope briefly backpedals, seemingly recognizing how awful it was to say.
Last-Name Basis: Only known by his surname, "Pope" - provided that is his last name, given his religious teachings to his group, it could easily be a title or nickname he gave himself.
Meaningful Name: "Pope" is a fitting name for someone who's a figure of authority over a religious group, and even instigates a holy war.
A Nazi by Any Other Name: Pope's ideology is uncomfortably similar to Nazism. The mustache and especially the glasses give him some loose physical resemblances to Heinrich Himmler, but his narcissistic "we are the superior chosen ones" attitude mixed with his militaristic style which is clearly inefficient solidify it.
Non-Action Big Bad: Notably does nothing besides kill his own people before he himself is killed, never fighting Maggie or any of our heroes and never leaving Meridian.
Offing the Offspring: He claims to view the Reapers as his own children, but he quickly shows he has no problem killing them. He kills Bossie for supposedly abandoning Turner, and later sends Wells to his likely death just to confirm if Maggie is behind the horde invasion. Finally, he is more than willing to slaughter the other Reapers if it means a chance at killing Maggie and the horde.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Leah claims his behavior in Season 11 has been this, insisting that his regular screaming and ranting about his enemies is not normal behavior for him. Daryl doesn’t buy it, having dealt with too many murderous psychopaths in his time.
Orcus on His Throne: He hasn’t left Meridian since his debut and instead lets his subordinates go out and deal with things. He didn’t participate in the initial Reaper ambush, and doesn’t join any patrols to search for Maggie’s group afterwards. He doesn't even get to fight anyone before his death.
Papa Wolf: He likes to claim he is one of these, but he truly doesn't care about any of his followers he claims to see as his children.
Pay Evil unto Evil: Killing Bossie shows how ruthless he is as a Bad Boss, but hey, one less crazed psychopath for our group to worry about.
Pragmatic Villainy: Subverted. In “For Blood”, he initially decides to follow Daryl’s plan to lead the horde away from Meridian, since it’s less risky and could prevent further undead from showing up. However, it turns out it was partially a ploy to find out if Maggie was behind the attack, meaning he still took an unnecessary risk by being prepared to sacrifice Wells.
Sinister Minister: He’s pretty much a fire and brimstone preacher who has co-opted his religious faith for his group’s ideology.
Sociopathic Soldier: The way he carries on the war with Maggie indicates that he wants to keep living in the fires of warfare and bloodshed.
The Spook: As of the end of Season 10, there’s no telling if “Pope” is a title or a person’s name, or if they are even the sole leader of the Reapers or not. Even after he properly debuts in Season 11, it’s not known if Pope is his actual name or a title he gave himself given the group’s religious teachings.
Spotting the Thread:
- Pope catches onto the inconsistency in Daryl’s story about Maggie meeting up with dozens of troops nearby since the Reaper patrols don’t find a trace of such a large group even after a prolonged period of searching.
- He recognizes its far too convenient how the walkers at Meridian’s gates keep milling around in circles and when Wells, a trained walker killer and herder, falls to them, he correctly ascertains Maggie is behind the horde.
- By paying attention to several of Daryl’s subtle reactions to him, he correctly hypothesizes that Daryl is not truly loyal to him. However, he doesn’t learn the truth until the moment he is mortally wounded and killed by Leah.
Starter Villain: Of Season 11, until he's revealed to be a Disc-One Final Boss.
Surprisingly Sudden Death: Just as he realizes Daryl is his enemy after all, he's stabbed out of nowhere by Leah.
Surrounded by Idiots: He begins to feel this way around the Reapers since they are unable to defeat the group or find them. This is why he starts viewing them as more and more expendable as time goes on.
Team Dad: He is the father figure of the Reapers and to Leah especially.
Team Killer: Murders one of his own underlings, Bossie, and callously risks the life of another, Wells, who is indeed killed by Maggie and Negan. He later has no problem opening fire on a courtyard full of Reapers if it means taking out Maggie's walker herd and potentially several of their enemy.
Tranquil Fury: His very slow turn towards Carver for questioning his order to allow Daryl to accompany the Reapers' next scouting mission makes it clear he does not appreciate him doing so. He doesn't say a word or change his expression, but the anger emanating from him is palpable. Every other time, though, he defies this trope due to having a Hair-Trigger Temper otherwise.
The Scourge of God: Even more than anyone else from the groups, as not even the Reapers themselves are safe from his punishment should he see fit.
Undignified Death: Stabbed by surprise by his previously most loyal lieutenant and forced to writhe and choke on his own collapsing throat, and is held down like a dying animal before dying in a pool of his own blood.
The Unfettered: He eventually comes to have no regard for any human life besides his own.
The Unfought: He never even gets to meet Maggie Rhee, the woman who's been a thorn in his side, before being killed by Leah in "For Blood".
Villainous Breakdown: As Season 11 progresses and he grows more desperate to kill Maggie and her group, he loses much of his sanity and outright stops seeing his “family” as such and more as pawns.
Villain Respect: He's impressed when Maggie uses a herd of walkers as a weapon against him.
Villain with Good Publicity: Downplayed, but his underlings never learn of his betrayal of them before they perish, with Austin dying trying to avenge him.
We Can Rule Together: He is convinced to try to lure Daryl into the Reapers, particularly after he survives his first test and rescued Leah before himself. However, he loses his patience with him as time goes on and due to suspecting he is not loyal to him.
We Have Reserves: He begins openly viewing his Reapers as expendable, deliberately sending Wells to his death to see if Maggie is behind the horde’s arrival, and preparing to blow the Reapers defending Meridian’s entrance to hell if it means destroying the group.
You Have Failed Me:
- He burns Bossie to death for abandoning a fellow Reaper.
- He has Carver pull a gun on Daryl in case he refuses to torture Frost.
- He strongly implies to Daryl that he has this coming if he fails to provide any useful information on Maggie.
- Implied to be one reason why he prepares to have the hwacha fired on the gates of Meridian, to punish the Reapers for allowing Maggie's group to get this far.

Shaw (SPOILERS)

Leah Shaw

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_walking_dead_leah_2.jpeg

"You'd do anything to protect your family. So would I."

^{Click to see her Reaper mask.}

Portrayed By: Lynn Collins

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Seasons 10-11)

Debut: "Find Me"

"Where do you belong, Daryl? Out there in the river, looking for your dead brother, day after day after day? Or do you belong with the family you left because it was too hard to face what happened? Or do you belong here with me?"

A survivor encountered by Daryl during his self-imposed exile after Rick’s disappearance. After realizing they were not each other’s enemy, the two became friends and fell in love, bonding over their lost loved ones and devotion to their adopted families. However, Leah demanded Daryl give up his search for Rick’s body and choose to stay with her or leave. He decided to stay with her, but by the time he returned to her cabin, she was gone. Daryl left a note for her to find him one day, but as time passed, he ultimately expected to never see her again.

Alas, Poor Villain: It's easy to pity her given she was completely broken and alone after the loss of her family, all because of her former leader’s psychopathy and picking a fight he shouldn’t have, only to get killed by her ex-boyfriend. Daryl shows no pleasure at her demise at his hands either.
The Aloner: She lives alone in the woods with only Dog as company. In Season 11, however, she has rejoined the Reapers. However, they do not survive the war with Maggie, leaving Leah alone once again after Daryl spares her.
Ambiguous Situation: How she found the other Reapers after breaking up with Daryl and leaving their cabin is never explained.
Arch-Enemy: She comes to see Maggie as a much more personal one than Pope ever did, blaming her for the deaths of her entire family.
Asshole Victim: While she may not have been a total monster, being a member of the Reapers who committed genocides unprovoked and refusing to let go of her vendetta against Maggie means her eventual fate being shot by Daryl was very well-deserved.
Avenging the Villain: At the end of Part 2 of Season 11, she becomes dead-set on killing Maggie and everyone she loves to avenge the Reapers.
Back for the Dead: Returns at the end of “The Rotten Core”, only to briefly menace Maggie again for one more episode before she is killed off.
Badass Longcoat: She wears one as part of her Reaper attire.
Became Their Own Antithesis: She kills Pope due to revealing he only views the people under his command as collateral damage to satisfy his bloodlust, but she ends up just like him by the end of Part 2, dismissing Commonwealth soldiers as means to an end.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Her relationship with Daryl becomes this after they learn that they are not enemies, frequently bickering and teasing until something more develops between them.
Benevolent Boss: She’s much more caring towards the Reapers than Pope since she genuinely considers them family. She kills Pope specifically because he proves he doesn’t care for them, and to give the Reapers a proper leader again.
Big Bad Wannabe: She decides to finish what Pope started and wipe out the rest of Maggie's group. Unfortunately for her, she badly underestimates Maggie, and her poor leadership choices result in all of her people dying and Leah being left as the Sole Survivor. When she tries again to kill Maggie, she is too consumed by her lust for vengeance to kill her when she has the chance and does a terrible job restraining her. Even if she had succeeded against Maggie, she made another powerful enemy in the Commonwealth and by extension the Coalition, meaning she would've never lasted long.
Birds of a Feather: Daryl ends up bonding with her over their solitary lives, their bad home lives, and strong attachments to their adopted families. Both have also lost several of the most important people in their lives.
Black-and-White Insanity: She refuses to outright admit to any wrongdoing on the Reapers’ part and only sees the group as the enemy.
Bond Villain Stupidity: She manages to get the upper hand over Maggie and knock her unconscious, meaning she could have easily ended her then and there. But no, Leah just had to make Maggie suffer for what she did to her family and waste time monologuing about how much Maggie is going to regret crossing her. Not only does it buy time for Maggie to get free of her restraints, it gets her killed by Daryl when he's able to sneak up on her and shoot her in the head. She didn't even do a good job with her restraints since Maggie is easily able to get out of them, and Leah doesn't even notice until it's too late.
Boom, Headshot!: Courtesy of a well-timed headshot from Daryl.
Break the Haughty: Subverted. In "For Blood" and "No Other Way" she spends most of the episodes proudly insisting the Reapers will win against the group, believing they are the good guys defeating a group of villains and having the bravado to match. Losing the rest of her family on her watch, however, breaks her... only for her to return later, having dug in her heels that her poor family lost their lives to Maggie's evil, and is haughtier than ever.
The Bus Came Back:
- In "Rendition", having since found her adopted family, the Reapers.
- In "The Rotten Core", revealed as the unknown party who attacked the Commonwealth soldiers which led to the intended genocide of Riverbend by Lance.
Composite Character: Her death is similar to Dwight's from the comic. Both are shot in the head by someone they once trusted, in a way they never find out who it was that pulled the trigger. Although Leah dies after joining forces with the Commonwealth, while Dwight was actively opposing them. The timing of her death also hearkens back to Beta's comic counterpart; he survived the Whisperer War and returned to menace the group several issues later, only to quickly be killed by Aaron and Jesus. Leah similarly returns after a prolonged absence, having survived the Reaper conflict, only to be quickly killed off.
Cruel Mercy: Maggie executes the remaining Reapers and leaves Leah alive, as evidenced by how she doesn’t try to pursue her after scoring a gunshot to her shoulder. Maggie has already won - the group that wiped out most of the Wardens is dead, and their leader has to live with the fact that it was her fault.
Daddy's Girl: She deeply cares for her adopted father who she insists showed her she was strong. For his part, Pope becomes far more meek and heartfelt in a one-on-one conversation with her than literally anybody else, but he's The Unfettered, so it doesn't mean much.
Dark Action Girl: She's an Afghanistan war vet who goes toe-to-toe with Maggie in a fair fight and wins.
Dark and Troubled Past: She briefly mentions that she didn’t have a good blood family, hence why she valued her adopted family so much. Pope's monologue about the Reapers' backstory makes it clear even after she found them that she didn't have it easy thanks to the fires of war.
Death Glare: At the end of ”For Blood”, she has a scathing one as she looks down on Maggie’s group while the Reapers prepare to bomb them. This signifies she has taken over the violent crusade against Maggie from Pope along with command of the Reapers.
Deconstruction: In Season 11 she serves as a deconstruction of the long-standing fan argument that had the audience been following Negan or a villain since the beginning, they would’ve seen Rick’s group as the villains. She has Undying Loyalty to her adopted family and believes the group crossed a line by killing her comrades in self-defense. She’s a good example of how toxic this sort of blind loyalty can be, and pays the price for continuing to war with Maggie by losing everyone she loves to the fight. Daryl explicitly tries to get her to see reason by questioning the Reapers’ taking of Meridian, but Leah refuses to see any wrong in their actions and Daryl is forced to concede she is his enemy.
Defrosting Ice Queen: She is initially hostile to Daryl as she believes he is a hostile himself. When he proves to be a dependable ally and good friend, she warms up to him.
Despair Event Horizon: After Maggie executes the rest of her family, leaving Leah alone. She is completely broken and spends her last remaining months of life obsessing over killing Maggie to take revenge.
Dies Wide Open: When we see her corpse, her eyes are still open.
Didn't See That Coming: She gets killed instantly by Daryl, and never finds out it was him who pulled the trigger.
Dirty Coward: Threatens to have Jenson snipe Maggie unless Daryl hands over Carver, and casually mentions how she could have them all picked off in a matter of seconds. When the injured Elijah makes a pitiful attempt to get revenge on Carver, Leah even orders Jenson to kill him on the spot. However, the moment Gabriel turns the situation in Maggie's favor, Leah insists on going back to their original deal to have the surviving Reapers leave in peace.
Disc-One Final Boss: Only takes the Big Bad reigns for the first episode of Season 11's second part before her entire group is wiped out and she's forced to flee. It happens again when she's set up as a major threat going into the final part of the series only to die with eight episodes left to go before the finale.
The Dragon: She's the closest thing to second-in-command of the Reapers, having a place of authority in the hierarchy and is usually the only one Pope listens to.
Dragon Ascendant: She becomes the new leader of the Reapers after killing Pope.
Dragon with an Agenda: Lance employs her as an assassin to kill Maggie, meaning she's ostensibly working for the Commonwealth. Leah, however, couldn't care less about Lance or why he wants Maggie dead and is merely using his troops as cannon fodder in her own rampage of revenge. The moment Lance's resources are wasted and Leah spots Maggie from a distance, she severs ties with Lance and goes to take care of her prey on her own terms.
Et Tu, Brute?: She is devastated and angry when Daryl reveals he is part of Maggie's group. She accepts that he is doing whatever he can to protect his family... but resolves to continue doing the same for hers, only granting him a head start to try to escape.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Her defining trait is her love for her adopted family. She also seemed to care for Daryl despite the borderline-toxicity of their relationship.
Even Evil Has Standards:
- She is shocked when the other Reapers lock her inside Daryl’s burning shed, though it’s ambiguous if she’s specifically disgusted by Pope, who gave the order, or her cohorts, as she later rips into Carver for it.
- She stands up to Pope when he screams at the Reapers for not finding Maggie’s group and tries to take the blame onto her. She briefly implies she’s not proud of how the Reapers took Meridian unprovoked. Later, she ultimately refuses to kill the family Pope ordered her to wipe out.
- In “For Blood”, she is disgusted when Pope proves he doesn’t care about any of the Reapers’ lives and ultimately kills him for it.
Evil All Along: She is revealed to be a loyal member of the Reapers. It happens again when she rejects every attempt by Daryl to resolve the conflict peacefully, proving she is just blindly loyal to her family to consider that they are in the wrong.
Evil Counterpart:
- Like Daryl, she prizes her Family of Choice above all else. Except in her case, said family happens to be the bloodthirsty Reapers. When they first meet in "Find Me", Daryl is stinging from the loss of Rick and Leah from supposedly losing her entire family in a walker attack. Neither has any idea that the people they are grieving over are in fact still alive — however, Leah actually gets to reunite with the Reapers while Daryl is still in the dark about the possibility of Rick's survival until the series finale.
- Like Maggie, she becomes focused on single-minded revenge against the party responsible for the deaths of her loved ones. Unlike Maggie, she lets vengeance consume her and dies totally broken, angry, and alone. Leah also had a son who she loved more than anything, similar to how Maggie has her son Hershel.
Evil Is Not a Toy: Lance learns the hard way that hiring an experienced war veteran who has gone insane from grief as a mercenary is a bad idea since she ends up turning on him while trying to get to Maggie.
Evil Is Petty: Despite learning from Daryl that Maggie’s group are the good family he came from, and being implied to have some regret about Pope’s crusade that started when they took a community by force, she nonetheless decides to continue the war against them because they’ve killed some of her fellow Reapers.
Evil Virtues: Her love for her family is genuine and she shows she can be a perfectly reasonable, friendly person.
Evil vs. Evil: She briefly becomes a foe to Lance as well as the heroic Maggie.
Face–Heel Turn: She goes from being a reasonably sympathetic Anti-Villain to declaring war on Maggie and viewing everyone but her people as collateral damage in her mad quest for vengeance.
False Soulmate: She's the first person Daryl is explicitly shown to have romantic feelings for, and they grew close enough that he was willing to abandon his search for Rick if it meant they could be together. After she departs, he leaves her a note in the floorboards of the cabin they shared telling her to "Find me" in case she ever decides to come back. Unfortunately, their respective families clashing and the lingering bad blood from Maggie executing all the Reapers sans Leah, who Daryl is then forced to kill himself to save Maggie, means that a future for the two just wasn't in the cards. Norman Reedus and showrunner Angela Kang have suggested that Leah and Daryl's relationship was written with this trope in mind. The romance came about mostly because they were both hurting from losing some of the most important people in their lives, and likely would have never worked out in the long run.
Friend Versus Lover: She's torn between her love for her surrogate family and her lingering feelings for Daryl.
Heel–Face Door-Slam: She seems to be on the verge of changing her mind about the Reapers, or at least willing to abandon Pope's fight against Maggie's people. But finding out Daryl lied to her about knowing Maggie, and witnessing Daryl kill Ancheta and realizing he helped kill Wells, immediately dashes any hope of Leah turning over a new leaf, and she remains an unrepentant antagonist until her death.
Hero Killer: She kills recurring Hilltop resident and all-around Nice Guy Marco by shooting him in the head.
Hypocrite:
- She is annoyed when Daryl subtly expresses disgust with her and the Reapers for hunting Maggie's group, insisting that the Reapers have a whole community to protect. This ignores the fact that the Reapers took Meridian unprovoked and slaughtered families and children to get it for their own, much smaller group.
- In “Acts of God” she dismisses the Commonwealth troopers under her command who get killed in Maggie’s trap as collateral damage. This is despite her disgust with Pope for treating her family the same way, showing how far she’s fallen.
Irony:
- Despite breaking up with Daryl because of his inability to let go of the past, it ends up being Leah's own refusal to let bygones be bygones that results in the deaths of all her people, including Leah herself.
- Despite the Reapers' hatred of politicians, she forms a partnership with Lance after he offers her a job to assassinate Maggie. Subverted when it turns out she's only using Lance as a means to her own ends.
It's All About Me: In "Find Me" she all but states that Daryl needs to give up both his search for Rick's body and his ties with his family to be with her. It plays a big part in Daryl leaving for a time. Season 11 has her in a slightly less selfish light, but it's more of It's All About Us as she shows severe Moral Myopia, refusing to consider any implication that the Reapers are in the wrong for their actions.
It's Personal: She really comes to hate Maggie's guts after she wipes out the rest of her family.
Karmic Death: She pays the price for continuing to follow Pope’s insane crusade even after all the other Reapers are long dead with dying a broken, lonely murderer. She's also killed by Daryl in the same cabin where the two of them used to live together, and is shot in the head unexpectedly much like she did to Marco.
Kindness Button: In Season 11, her lingering feelings for Daryl are the only way to get her to act like a human being again. When he tells her he cares about her in “On the Inside”, she nearly tears up on the spot.
Know When to Fold 'Em: As noted in Dirty Coward, once Gabriel turns the tables on the Reapers during the stand-off, Leah quickly agrees to leave with her remaining comrades.
Laser-Guided Karma: Deciding to continue Pope’s unprovoked, foolish crusade against Maggie results in the complete annihilation of her family. She is once again left alone, but this time, she knows for sure that her family is truly all dead and it’s her fault.
Lonely Together: Implied to be the root of her relationship with Daryl. Leah's still wounded from losing her adopted son and surrogate family, while Daryl's world has been upended by the apparent loss of his brother Rick.
The Lost Lenore: Downplayed. She’s not confirmed to be dead, but not knowing what happened to her still deeply hurts Daryl to this day. Season 11 shows she feels this way about Daryl since she still loves him years later and is still hurt that he seemingly left her.
Love Cannot Overcome: Daryl's reluctance to let go of the past and give up his search for Rick's body ultimately spurs Leah to leave him.
Love-Interest Traitor: Daryl's ex-girlfriend who turns out to be a member of the group's current enemy, the Reapers.
Love Makes You Crazy: Her love for her fallen brethren spurs her into action trying to avenge them against Maggie and her people.
Mama Bear: She loves the Reapers as her own, which is why she ultimately kills Pope for threatening their lives. She then turns her fury squarely on Maggie’s group, regardless of Pope's actions, simply because in her eyes, Maggie's group crossed a line killing any of her people.
Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal: She is completely unwilling to consider the Reapers as being in the wrong for taking Meridian unprovoked and to the end hates Maggie for killing them.
Mildly Military: Her skills and referring to her adopted family as her “squad” suggests she is ex-military. Confirmed in Season 11 when the Reapers are revealed to be a group of Afghanistan war veterans.
Mirror Character: She's one to Dwight, oddly enough. Both betrayed Daryl and went running back to their people when it would have been simpler for them to put their conflict to rest, and both continued to harm Daryl's family with their petty vendettas. Both are driven by their genuine love for their family (Dwight for Tina and Sherry, Leah for her fellow Reapers). Both end up banished by Daryl after they've lost pretty much everything, in large part due to their own foolish choices. Unlike Dwight, who eventually owns up to his actions, helps the heroes, and stays gone to make things right with Sherry, Leah continues to insist the Reapers are not at fault, refuses to make a Heel–Face Turn, and returns months later looking for vengeance against Maggie. This means that Dwight gets a happier ending than Leah does. And as noted under Composite Character, Leah gets a variation of Dwight's Boom, Headshot! death from the comics. Dwight's TV counterpart also ends up fathering a child who is killed by a hostile enemy, while Leah's adopted son is killed by walkers.
Moral Myopia: She does express a little regret for how the Reapers took Meridian unprovoked, but once Daryl expresses disdain for this selfish motive in hunting the Wardens, she immediately snaps at him insisting they have a community to protect. Despite the families the Reapers killed or tore apart, she sees Maggie's group as the enemy for killing Reapers in self-defense because it means she loses her family.
My Greatest Failure: Regards the death of her adopted son and seemingly the rest of her family in a walker attack as this, much like how Daryl blames himself for Rick's apparent death.
Never My Fault: Or rather, never the Reapers’ fault. She’s so blindly devoted to her family that she refuses to outright condemn their evil actions such as the conquering of Meridian, insisting they were just doing what was right for their own community. She still treats Maggie as an enemy despite Maggie being within her rights to try to reclaim her lost community, simply because she’s killed some Reapers. In the stand-off, when Carver clearly begins going out of his way to taunt Elijah and make things worse, Leah at first begins demanding Daryl control his people. When Leah has Maggie at her mercy in "Acts of God", she keeps blaming her for the deaths of her people even though it was Leah who foolishly insisted on continuing Pope's crusade against Maggie that was responsible for the deaths of any Reapers in the first place.
Non-Protagonist Resolver: She ends up being Pope's killer instead of Maggie or Daryl.
"Not So Different" Remark: She’s on the receiving end of this from Maggie in their final confrontation, who knows all too well what it’s like to be eaten up by revenge and bloodlust. It helps lower Leah’s guard just enough to buy Maggie a bit more of a chance once she breaks free from her restraints.
Official Couple: She and Daryl eventually became this during Season 9’s six year Time Skip, to the point that Daryl was willing to stay with her as opposed to returning to Alexandria. In Season 11 they never quite get back together before Daryl outs himself as The Mole.
Oh, Crap!: In “Rendition”, she quickly tries to stop her fellow Reapers from attacking Daryl and Dog, and is deeply alarmed when the latter is thrown down a hill by one of her cohorts - as well as shocked to see her former lover again.
One-Woman Army: In "The Rotten Core," she is revealed to be the one who has killed numerous armed Commonwealth soldiers and stolen their supply of weapons.
Outliving One's Offspring: She suffered the worst case scenario of this trope as her adopted son perished in a walker attack.
Patricide: She kills her adopted father Pope once he proves to have gone insane and no longer views their people as family (if he ever really did in the first place).
Pay Evil unto Evil: Nobody will blame her for offing the bloodthirsty and unstable Pope. She also deals a bad hand to Lance Hornsby by getting his troops killed (who themselves likely draw no sympathy from the audience) and helping compromise his quest to covertly kill Maggie for his own gain.
Pet the Dog:
- She clearly cares about Dog and never once considers hurting him to threaten Daryl.
- After blaming Daryl for Pope's death, she gives him a head start so he can have a fighting chance against the Reapers despite acknowledging him as her enemy.
Punch-Clock Villain: When she's not on active duty as a Reaper she’s shown to be a perfectly normal person who even Daryl fell in love with.
Put on a Bus:
- She breaks up with Daryl before the end of "Find Me". A few years later, Daryl is still unsure what happened to her.
- After the other Reapers are wiped out and Leah is shot by Maggie, Daryl coldly tells her to get lost before he changes his mind.
Redemption Rejection: After Leah kills Pope she refuses to escape Meridian with Daryl, choosing to stay with her Family of Choice instead of her former lover. On top of that she tells the other Reapers it was Daryl who killed Pope, though she does at least give him enough time to have a head start. After the other Reapers are killed, Daryl gives her one more chance to leave in peace despite their deal falling through, but Leah becomes consumed by vengeance and returns one final time to menace Maggie.
Remember the New Guy?: Downplayed. She's never mentioned by name before her appearance in flashbacks in “Find Me”, but then again only Daryl knew her and only told Carol about her, who kept it between them.
Sanity Slippage: By the time of "The Rotten Core", she's become quiet and nihilistic as she's spent months obsessed with nothing except vengeance against Maggie. She also displays much more Bond Villain Stupidity than before.
Smug Snake: When she has Maggie captured, she goes into great detail about how she'll make Maggie suffer by taking away everything she loves before she eventually kills her.
Sole Survivor: Of her adopted family, who were all lost in a walker attack. Season 11 reveals she discovered this was not the case as the Reapers are still very much alive. She ends up becoming this for real as of "No Other Way" when Maggie’s group successfully wipes out all of her comrades and with her death in the Season 11B finale, all the Reapers are now dead.
Star-Crossed Lovers: Her relationship with Daryl saw them happy during their years alone together in the woods, but they eventually fell apart due to their respective loyalties towards their families. Their relationship is ultimately sunk seemingly for good in ”For Blood” when Daryl reveals he has been killing Reapers to help his family, who have been declared the Reapers’ enemies. Both acknowledge that they would do anything for their families, which is why Leah ultimately turns on Daryl, unwilling to abandon the crusade against Maggie and place her love for him above her own.
Leah: Do you ever wonder what it would've been like if we never left that cabin?
Stockholm Syndrome: Despite Pope being an abusive, murderous psychopath, Leah swears he is good deep down and points to past moments of kindness as evidence of why she has to stay loyal to him. Even after finally turning on him, she refuses to give up the war with Maggie due to believing Pope's ideology was right.
Surprisingly Sudden Death: She's killed by Daryl without any fanfare. Given that Daryl had already warned her never to come back, and she was just in the middle of attempting to kill Daryl's surrogate sister Maggie, it's understandable why.
Thicker Than Water: Why she has such loyalty to Pope even after he starts going off the deep end, since she sees him as her father figure despite his abusive tendencies. She finally gives up on him when he proves willing to wipe out the other Reapers in an attempt to kill Maggie’s group, but she does it out of remaining loyalty to the other psychopaths she calls her family.
Token Good Teammate: Downplayed. She was shown in "Find Me" to be a relatively normal person who Daryl even found love with, but she is later revealed to be a loyal Reaper who seemingly is hook, line and sinker for Pope’s crazed ideology and murderous ways.
Took a Level in Jerkass: A few months after the Reapers' deaths, she's become much colder and callous, brutally murdering Commonwealth soldiers for supplies and caring about no one except herself.
True Companions: She latched onto her squad as her true family, outright referring to one female companion as her sister and to their son as her own once she took him in.
Underestimating Badassery: Like Pope before her, she badly underestimates Maggie and how far she’s willing to go to get revenge for her people. She pays for it dearly with the massacre of the Reapers.
Undignified Death: No final confrontation with Daryl, no big final speech before being put out of her misery. After Daryl realizes his ex allied with the Commonwealth and kept up her vendetta against Maggie, meaning his final plea telling her to leave and never come back fell entirely on deaf ears, he kills Leah as easily as he would any other nameless Mook barely worth his time. He also shoots her in the back of the head, meaning he never has to see her face again. Even with the history between them, Daryl truly had nothing left to say to Leah.
Undying Loyalty: To Pope and the Reapers. She begins to grow shaken when she is trapped inside a burning shed, and eventually Pope’s breakdown and refusing to see their group as anything but pawns and collateral damage in his crusade against Maggie finally breaks her faith in him. However, she is still loyal to the family she’s formed with the Reapers overall, meaning even after she kills Pope, she picks up where he left off warring with Maggie.
The Unfettered: By her final appearance, she has fallen so far that she has lost any regard for any life besides her own.
Unflinching Walk: She does one of these as she emerges from the destroyed Barrington House after killing Marco in "Acts of God".
Villain Team-Up: New Big Bad Lance hires Leah as an assassin to kill Maggie in "Trust".
Walking Spoiler: As of Season 11, being revealed as a Reaper settles her into this.
What Happened to the Mouse?: She vanishes before the end of “Find Me”’s flashbacks, with Daryl haven’t having seen her since. She returns in Season 11, revealed to be a Reaper.
What the Hell, Hero?: She’s aghast when Daryl tells her how he left the Alexandrian communities after Rick’s apparent death, chewing him out for running away due to not being able to face his grief. Due to how deeply she loved her adopted family, it’s not hard to see why she’s so angry.
Woman Scorned: In Season 11 she is still angry that Daryl apparently left her, though she softens when he admits he came back for her in her absence. However, once she learns he is loyal to Maggie’s group and has been covertly aiding her in the fight against the Reapers, she soon turns her wrath upon him and his family.
Would Hurt a Child: Defied at first. She's unwilling to kill a young member of a family she encounters despite Pope's orders, and Lynn Collins was confident that she would've truly reconsidered the war had Hershel been in the crossfire. However, after losing her family and her mind with them, she vows to bring everyone Maggie loves before her to execute them, Hershel included.

Other Reapers

Carver

Brandon Carver

"This dirtbag wants to play, I'll teach him the rules."

^{Click to see his Reaper mask}

Portrayed By: Alex Meraz

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Rendition"

An abrasive Reaper.

Arch-Enemy: He has an unhealthy hatred for Daryl right from the get-go due to (rightly) suspecting he is not truly loyal to him, but it's implied he's pouring all of his already existing aggression and hate onto him due to being unable to take it out any further on Maggie's group.
Asshole Victim: A sadistic, childish psychopath who got off on slowly torturing people is not going to be missed by anybody besides Leah anytime soon.
Ax-Crazy: He’s violent, enjoys conducting Cold-Blooded Torture and is ready to fight at a moment’s notice.
Barbarian Longhair: Has longer hair than all of the other male Reapers and is easily the most savage and brutal of them. Not to mention he actually has the fighting skills to back up his shit-talk, being able to hold off three opponents at once and only losing due to some quick thinking on Negan's part.
Blood from the Mouth: After Maggie fatally stabs him in the chest.
Blood Knight: He really enjoys fighting and killing people. When Leah mentions how he nearly got killed trying to destroy a horde in the past, he smugly says that’s when it got fun for him. And when Daryl suggests a reasonable, less risky way to lead the horde away, Carver insults his plan for not having enough "balls". When Maggie, Negan, and Elijah challenge him to a fight, he outright thanks them for it and clearly has a blast taking them all on at once. When Negan brings a bell into the fight, Carver smirks and says, "This should be fun."
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: He's only amused when Elijah says he killed his sister, saying "okay" in a manner suggesting he doesn't care to remember.
Character Death: Killed by Maggie, using Elijah's scythe, in "No Other Way".
Defiant to the End: To his credit, he keeps trying to survive even when he's bleeding on the ground and clearly outmatched. He reaches for a knife lying a few feet away, intending to slash Maggie with it, but she kicks it out of his hand and finishes him off by burying Elijah's scythe in Carver's chest.
The Dragon: To Leah once she takes over the Reapers.
Dumb Muscle: He doesn't do much forward thinking on account of his Blood Knight tendencies.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His sole redeeming trait is his love for his adopted family.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Leah implies this by saying the others know not to rile him up.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Leah warns Daryl not to piss him off, saying "it never ends well."
Hate Sink: Even among the Reapers, he’s a complete asshole. He's also revealed to be the Reaper who killed Elijah's sister, earning him even more douchebag points.
Jerkass: He's an abrasive, loudmouth prick who takes every chance he can to antagonize Daryl.
Karmic Death: After taking part in the massacre of an entire town of Maggie's people, including Elijah's sister, Carver meets his end when Gabriel shoots him in the leg, followed up by a vengeful Maggie stabbing him in the chest with Elijah's scythe.
Kick the Dog: When Elijah brings up Carver's murder of his sister, Carver simply smirks and says, "Okay." He then literally kicks Elijah when he's down by stomping on his injured leg after they fight.
Know When to Fold 'Em: The only person Carver knows not to cross is Pope. When he questions Pope's orders in "On the Inside", it takes one ominous, silent look from his superior to scare him into submission.
Lack of Empathy: Any person who isn’t a Reaper is just someone for him to torture and kill.
Leeroy Jenkins: Will jump at any chance to fight and kill something. He mocks practical, safer methods of dealing with danger and thinks of anyone being pragmatic as being weak and cowardly.
Like Brother and Sister: Well, this is literally so since the Reapers view each other as family, but this is generally his dynamic with Leah. She knows what he's like on a bad day and has little patience for him on said bad days, but she still loves him as family and can take his jokes in stride (even when the joke is about how he nearly got killed in a walker attack and was only disappointed he got bailed out) like a sibling.
Mook Promotion: Implied to be taking over as second-in-command of the Reapers after Leah kills and replaces Pope as leader.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Carver plays the biggest role among the Reapers in their downfall outside of Pope and Leah’s poor leadership.
- He pursues Maggie alone in a building and never once radios for back-up or even to alert his comrades that he's in hot pursuit of the enemy. Even though the ensuing fight demonstrates that he didn't need back-up, it does leave him without anyone knowing he's been captured and gives the group leverage once they do bring him down.
- Laughing about killing Josephine, as well as manhandling Elijah, Maggie and Negan certainly does little to not convince Maggie that the Reapers are too dangerous to be left alive.
- Even when Leah gains the upper hand in the stand-off, Carver decides to help make the situation worse by taunting Elijah and preparing to start kicking him while he's down, despite Leah ordering him to stand down. Even if Gabriel had never been able to turn the tide, his childishness would've only resulted in more death likely on both sides.
One-Man Army: He's easily one of the best fighters we've seen in the series to date, laying the smackdown on Negan, Maggie, and a wounded Elijah all at once.
Pet the Dog: Zig-zagged. He insists he would do anything for Leah, but as she points out, he did stand idly by while Pope locked her in a room and set it on fire to test Daryl. He does seem to care about Leah and his fellow Reapers, though — it's implied he's just too afraid of Pope to have questioned his orders.
Psychopathic Manchild: The manchild part comes from how he gets angry and loses his temper the moment he is deprived of something he wants. The psychopathic part comes from the fact that usually what he wants and is being deprived of is a chance to engage in bloodshed or sadistic torture. He behaves like a little brat during the stand-off with Maggie's group, blowing kisses and laughing while preparing to go and kick Elijah.
Sadist: He is the one who gleefully tortures Frost for information and is angry when Daryl takes over.
Skewed Priorities: Frequently is more interested in satisfying his psychotic bloodlust more than what’s sane or practical. He mouths off at Daryl for suggesting a single person lure away a horde despite it being a perfectly reasonable idea, due to the plan not being grandiose or involving fighting.
Smarter Than You Look: Seems to be an obnoxious thug but he's quick to notice Daryl's wishy-washy attitude and spots the trapdoor concealing the place where Maggie and her group are hiding.
Smug Snake: He’s always condescending and smug to his enemies, and even among his comrades he has the general air of having a stick up his ass. Even when discovering that Daryl supposedly killed Pope, he begins rubbing it in Leah's face how he was right, all too happy that he now has the opportunity to kill Daryl. In the following episode he smiles the entire time he pursues Maggie and during the ensuing three-on-one fight, and stays an ass all the way to his death.
Token Evil Teammate: Well, eviler when it comes to the Reapers but to put it simply he's an unpleasant person to Daryl the most.
The Unfettered: He has no regard for human life outside his family and outright takes pleasure in killing and torturing people.
Villain Has a Point: He's right when he tells Leah that Daryl will never give a damn about any of the Reapers other than her, and is not to be trusted.
The Worf Effect: He dominates his fight with the combined might of Maggie, Negan, and a wounded Elijah, which along with his smug indifference to having killed Josephine, makes it clear as day to the group that the Reapers are too dangerous to be left alive.
Would Hit a Girl: He killed Elijah's sister and later punches Maggie in the face during their fight.

Mancea

"You don't hear Him anymore, do you?"

Portrayed By: Dikran Tulaine

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Rendition"

"Tell me, Father. You have guided me through the darkest of times. I treasure our conversation and the guidance you have given me. Is there anything I should know?"

A member of the Reapers who serves as their resident preacher.

Affably Evil: He's perfectly genial with Gabriel and seems to genuinely be trying to talk him out of choosing violence.
Asshole Victim: Downplayed compared to the rest of the Reapers due to his Affably Evil personality and admitting some reservations about the Reapers' ways. Nonetheless, he aided and abetted the group in their massacres out of some deranged devotion to what he thought God was preaching to him.
Character Death: Gabriel stabs him in the stomach and leaves him to die.
Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted. He admits he has his doubts about the Reapers due to their violent ways, but then recalls how countless holy wars have been waged in God's name, so he doesn't mind too much.
Evil Counterpart: To Father Gabriel Stokes, being the pastor of his group. Their dynamic is highlighted in “Promises Broken” when Gabriel is disturbed to see him openly speaking aloud to God and saying he enjoys their relationship, since Gabriel himself has a very strained relationship with Him at the moment. They later face off in "No Other Way" as their faiths clash, and Gabriel is the one to kill him.
Evil Old Folks: One of the older Reapers.
Hypocrite: A pastor who claims a great loyalty to God and His teachings, while serving as the pastor to a murderous group of fanatics whose actions are decidedly lacking in the Christian way. Gabriel calls him out on this in "No Other Way".
Just Following Orders: Gabriel accuses him of this, just following what he thinks God is commanding him, and Mancea does not disagree.
Non-Action Guy: Downplayed. He's never seen in combat, but he still wields a knife when he goes to the graves outside Meridian alone and is never said to not also be a veteran.
Sinister Minister: The Reapers’ pastor. He’s especially creepy since he chants in tongues over their dead and later speaks aloud to God, insisting he can hear him speak to him.

The Brute: He's one of the Reapers who gets to put up a decent fight before being killed off. Unfortunately for Austin, he's just no match for Daryl Dixon.

Machete Mayhem: He fights Daryl while wielding a machete.

Deaver

^{Click to see his Reaper mask.}

Portrayed By: Jacob Young

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Acheron, Part II"

A Reaper who leads the ambush on the Wardens and tangles with Maggie.

Asshole Victim: He's part of the Reapers, a violent group, so he deserved getting shot in the head.
Beard of Evil: He has one.
Boom, Headshot!: How Gabriel kills him.
The Brute: One of the larger Reapers who goes toe-to-toe with Maggie.
Character Death: Gabriel shoots him in the head in "For Blood".
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Downplayed, but he's seen leading the ambush at the end of "Acheron, Part II" and is played by a more well-known actor than most of the other Reapers. Come the Season 11A finale and he's taken out with very little fanfare.
We Hardly Knew Ye: We don't find out anything about him other than that he's a loyal member of the group who nearly kills Maggie before being sniped by Gabriel.

Ancheta

Portrayed By: Dane Davenport

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Acheron, Part II"

The engineer of the Reapers.

Asshole Victim: He's a part of an evil group so no one is upset over his death, barring his fellow Reapers.
Character Death: Daryl throws a knife into his chest in "For Blood".
The Engineer: Of the Reapers. He's capable of creating the rather impressive "hwacha", which ends up being fired into Meridian's courtyard at the end of "For Blood".
Even Evil Has Standards: He notably hesitates when Pope orders him to fire the hwacha at walker and Reaper alike, and only goes forward when Pope barks at him to get on with it.
The Evil Genius: As a combat engineer, he's one of the most intelligent Reapers.
Genius Bruiser: A competent warrior in his own right as well as a gifted engineer.
He Knows Too Much: Daryl kills him after he witnesses Leah stab Pope. Unfortunately, seeing Ancheta's corpse makes Leah choose to side with her Family of Choice over Daryl.
More Dakka: He made a pretty badass looking "Hwacha" mechanism which definitely applies for this trope and is more than capable of taking down a walker horde.
Spanner in the Works: If not for his hwacha destroying most of their horde, Maggie's group probably could have wiped out all the Reapers without breaking a sweat.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He used to be a combat engineer, and that's all we find out about him before his death.

Powell

Marcus Powell

"Quit these once. Guess I'll have to quit them again."

^{Click to see his Reaper mask.}

Portrayed By: Eric LeBlanc

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Acheron, Part II"

A Reaper who makes acquaintance with Daryl.

Affably Evil: Despite being a Hero Killer, he's friendly enough to make conversation with Daryl and share a smoke with him.
Character Death: Daryl stabs him in the neck with a big knife in "For Blood".
Hero Killer: He's the Reaper who slashes Cole's throat.
Karmic Death: After slicing Cole's throat, Powell is killed when Daryl stabs him in the neck.
Pet the Dog: He shares a few cigarettes with Daryl in their downtime.
Punch-Clock Villain: He's friendly to Daryl when they're not on the job. Daryl uses this to his advantage and kills Powell when his guard is down.
Skewed Priorities: He laments having to kick his smoking habit in the middle of an apocalypse.
We Hardly Knew Ye: One of the friendliest Reapers who has a smoking habit, and that's all we get of him before his death in "For Blood".

Wells

Paul Wells

"I'm the belle of the ball out here. They love me."

^{Click to see his Reaper mask.}

Portrayed By: Robert Hayes

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Hunted"

"Step it up, ugly. It's getting late, and I'm getting hungry."

A Reaper who enjoys fighting and specializes in dealing with herds.

And I Must Scream: One of the walkers tears his throat out, making him unable to scream as he witnesses himself being Devoured by the Horde.
Asshole Victim: As with the rest of the Reapers.
Attention Whore: He jokes about the horde following him being his adoring fans and him being the star of the show.
Black Dude Dies First: Subverted. He's not the first Reaper to die but he gets the honor of being the first Reaper to be killed during Maggie's siege on Meridian in "For Blood".
Blood Knight: He gets really excited fighting walkers, and doesn't back down even when they have him surrounded on both sides. This costs him his life.
The Brute: One of the more bloodthirsty Reapers who takes part in torturing Daryl.
Character Death: Gets stabbed in the chest by Negan and Maggie and eaten by walkers.
Cruel and Unusual Death: As a Reaper, he had it coming, but it's still horrific when a walker tears his throat out and he's unable to warn his cohorts that Maggie is on the warpath.
Defiant to the End: To his credit, he continues to fight the walkers surrounding him even after he's been stabbed and is clearly outmatched.
Devoured by the Horde: Thanks to Negan and Maggie, this is how he meets his end.
Didn't See That Coming: Much like Jesus back in Season 9, he is quite surprised when the walker he's about to kill suddenly ducks and stabs him.
Large Ham: During his brief mission with the horde he happily takes on the challenge and boasts loudly how he’s the star of the show, egging on the dead.
Offing the Offspring: Pope says he saw him like a son, but that didn’t stop him from deliberately sending him to what was likely his death at Maggie’s hands.
One-Man Army: He was willing to lead the horde of walkers away from Meridian and he did take down many of them until Negan and Maggie snuck up behind him and left him to the horde and even then he stabbed a walker before going down and getting eaten alive.
One-Steve Limit: Averted; he shares a first name with the late Paul "Jesus" Rovia. Ironically both men die in a similar manner, ambushed by someone disguised in a walker mask.
Spanner in the Works: He briefly complicates Maggie’s plan to attack Meridian since it’s shown he’s perfectly effective at leading entire hordes away. Maggie’s group quickly flanks and kills him for it.
Suicidal Overconfidence: His cockiness in dealing with walkers gets him killed when he allows too many, including the disguised Negan and Maggie, to surround him.
Tempting Fate: Going off the picture quote, he finds out just how much walkers love him when Maggie and Negan stab him and leave him to be turned into zombie food.
Too Dumb to Live: He lets walkers surround him on both sides even when he has an opening to simply flee into the woods. This allows a disguised Maggie and Negan to get the drop on him.
Villainous Valor: He takes on the task of distracting entire hordes alone and on foot.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He's a Blood Knight who follows Pope's orders without question... and that's all we get of him before his death.
We Have Reserves: Pope insists he ordered Wells out to see if Maggie is out there behind the horde, and that God chose him to die.
The Worf Effect: An interesting villainous example. His death is what Pope uses to confirm that Maggie is behind the horde invasion, knowing that it was unlikely he would fall to a horde alone.

Bossie

Portrayed By: Michael Shenefelt

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Acheron, Part II"

A Reaper who pursues Maggie, Negan, and Alden well into the morning despite the Reapers usually only attacking under cover of night.

Asshole Victim: The only sympathy the audience really can feel for him is that he becomes a victim of Pope’s crazed ideology since he wrongfully accuses him of cowardice and decides burning him to death is a suitable punishment. Otherwise, he doesn’t have enough characterization in any way for his death to register as anything but being the removal of a Reaper from our group’s side.
Character Death: Pope throws him into a campfire.
Dirty Coward: He averts this himself, as he only fled when he was injured, and his partner was dead. However, Pope wrongly accuses him of being this, citing the wound to his back as evidence, and kills him for it.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He’s properly introduced in “Rendition” outright sobbing over being unable to save Michael Turner.
In the Back: Maggie throws a knife into his back while he's attacking Alden.
Kill It with Fire: Pope kills him this way.
No Man Left Behind: He brings the slain Michael Turner back to base to be buried.
Sacrificial Lamb: He gets killed by Pope to highlight how brutal he is.
Small Role, Big Impact: He gravely wounds Alden during their fight. This forces Maggie to abandon Alden in a church until they can return from Meridian with transportation, during which time Alden is ambushed by another Reaper offscreen and killed.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He doesn't get much of a character before he's killed.

Turner

Michael Turner

Portrayed By: Ryan Monolopolus

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Acheron, Part II"

A Reaper who pursues Maggie, Negan, and Alden well into the morning despite the Reapers usually only attacking under cover of night.

Character Death: Dies from blood loss after Maggie stabs him in the head with a glass bottle and Negan beats him with a crowbar.
Like Brother and Sister: Leah describes him as the little brother she never had.
Not Quite Dead: He survives long enough for Bossie to get him back to Meridian, but dies of his injuries shortly after.
Rasputinian Death: Gets slashed in the leg with a knife, thrown down a flight of stairs, stabbed in the head with a broken bottle, and beaten with a crowbar.

Nicholls

"I thought you were a man of God."

^{Click to see his Reaper mask}

Portrayed By: Hans Christopher

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "Hunted"

"Pray for me. Even your enemies deserve that much."

A wounded Reaper who runs afoul of Father Gabriel.

Asshole Victim: He's part of the Reapers, a violent group, so he deserved getting stabbed in the head.
Character Death: Gabriel puts a knife in his skull in "Hunted".
Face Death with Dignity: When Gabriel finds him he's praying and seems content with the fact that he's slowly bleeding to death.
One-Steve Limit: Averted. He shares the same name with a cowardly Hilltop resident.
Pet the Dog: He tries to convince Gabriel to do this, asking him to pray for him as he says one should still pray for their enemies. Unfortunately, he has no idea what kind of man the good Father has become.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He dies in his first episode and doesn’t get much characterization.

Montanio

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reaper_walking_dead.png

Portrayed By: Mike Whinnet

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 10)

Debut: "Home Sweet Home"

"Pope marked you."

The first Reaper we meet, who gives Maggie's group a foreboding promise of what's to come. He hunts Maggie nearly all the way back to Alexandria and slaughters many of her people before ultimately being cornered. Smugly warning Maggie of the price on her head, he kills himself with a grenade.

Cold Sniper: He takes out Maya, Ainsley and Gus using a sniper rifle.
Defiant to the End: He refuses to give Maggie any information other than that she's being hunted by "Pope". He then blows himself up before they can interrogate him further.
Hero Killer: One of the deadliest Reapers who kills at least seven of Maggie's people.
Ludicrous Gibs: His body explodes into a chunks of flesh.
Made of Iron: Being stabbed in the chest by Maggie and shot in the side by Daryl doesn't slow him down one bit.
No Name Given: He is credited only as "The Attacker". Subverted in "Rendition", when his name is posthumously revealed to be Montanio.
One-Man Army: He had Maggie and Daryl’s small party on the ropes for quite some time, picking off three survivors as he went.
Smug Snake: Even once he’s caught, he smirks the entire time and shows no remorse for his actions.
Taking You with Me: Not wishing to divulge information and knowing they won't let him live otherwise, this Reaper tries blowing Maggie and her people up with a grenade. He fails.
Warm-Up Boss: He's the first Reaper to directly tangle with the group.
The Worf Effect: Establishes himself (and by extension, the Reapers), as a worthy adversary. He kills several of Maggie's people, lures Maggie into a trap, and picks Daryl up like a rag doll and hurls him into a tree.

Jenson

Portrayed By:

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "No Other Way"

A Reaper who acts as their sharpshooter.

Cold Sniper: Leah tells Jenson to execute Maggie if they refuse to hand over Carver, and it's clear he is prepared to open fire on any of the group if Leah orders him to.
Killed Offscreen: Gabriel ambushes him off-camera and takes over his sniper position.
Red Shirt: He's the only Reaper not shown onscreen prior to "No Other Way", and he pretty much exists just to be killed by Gabriel.

Unnamed Reaper

Portrayed By: N/A

Appearances: The Walking Dead (Season 11)

Debut: "No Other Way"

An unnamed member of the Reapers.

And Then John Was a Zombie: The entirety of his story takes place off-screen, with Maggie finding him an undead walker by the time she returns to the church to retrieve a wounded Alden.
Hero Killer: He kills Alden by slitting his throat off-screen.
Mutual Kill: Managed to kill and be killed by a wounded Alden.
