!!Due to the AnyoneCanDie nature of the show and quickly moving plots, only spoilers from the current/most recent season will be spoiled out to prevent entire pages of whited out text. These spoiler tags will be removed upon the debut of the following season, and the character bios will be updated then as well. Additionally, character portraits will be updated each half-season with the release of an official, complete set from AMC. If you have not seen the first ten seasons read at your own risk!
!!As Dwight and Sherry have moved to the cast of ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'', the aforementioned spoiler embargo applies to the first six seasons of ''Fear'' as well.

->''"I was -- I was by myself for a while. Then I found a safe place. Buncha survivors, buncha tough guys, too. Eventually, one of them took over, and another one took over, but I wasn't really paying much attention 'cause, you know, I was gettin' fed."''
A Savior in the repopulated satellite outpost. When the Hilltop strike team overwhelms them, Alden orders his fellow surviving Saviors to surrender, and Jesus takes them as prisoners at Hilltop. Alden does his best to maintain peace between his cohorts and their captors, seeking to make sure no blood is shed. After being shown kindness by Maggie and AHK, as well as being abandoned to his fate by Simon, Alden fully defects to Hilltop, where he remains after the end of the Savior War.
Seven years after Negan's defeat, Alden eventually gets together with Enid, but is distraught when she is among Alpha’s many victims during the fair. As the Whisperer War approaches, he forms a family unit of sorts with Earl as they work together to raise Adam, and the two men lead the efforts to fortify Hilltop for the coming conflict. Earl perishes in the aftermath of the Battle of Hilltop, leaving Alden to raise Adam alone.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:His fate by the time Maggie comes to get him in "No Other Way". She tearfully puts her undead friend out of his misery.]]
* AscendedExtra: He receives more screen time than usual in the first three episodes of Season 11, befitting his PromotionToOpeningTitles. [[spoiler:Turns out to have been ADeathInTheLimelight in disguise, as he is KilledOffscreen by the time Maggie is able to return for him.]]
* TheBlacksmith: He becomes one at Hilltop under Earl's tutelage.
* CanonForeigner: Alden never appeared in the comics. However, he does share a few traits with Comic!Dante, namely his close relationship with Maggie and joining Hilltop after the Savior War. In fact, Alden ''was'' intended to become a love interest for Maggie before Lauren Cohan leaving the show in Season 9 put a stop to those plans.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: Is revealed to have been killed by a Reaper between episodes 3 and 9 of Season 11.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He had an older brother who was killed, prompting Alden to hunt down and kill those responsible, an act he thought would make him feel better, only it didn't.
* DeadpanSnarker: In "Hunted", he throws out a few sarcastic barbs directed at his old boss, Negan. [[spoiler:Bordering on DisabledSnarker considering Alden's been badly injured by the Reapers.]]
* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:As noted above, he receives the most screentime he’s ever had in the first three episodes of Season 11, focusing on his ideological disagreements with Maggie’s increased ruthlessness, before he ends up dying offscreen.]]
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Becomes this to Adam upon his death.]]
* DisappointedInYou: Alden has a clear look of disappointment when Rick and Morgan return from their mission without any surviving Saviors.
* DistressedDude: Along with Luke, he is captured by Alpha at gunpoint while searching for their missing people. The two are later successfully traded for Alpha's daughter, Lydia, and the Whisperers leave in (temporary) peace.
* TheEngineer: Alden is, in his own words, "good with my hands", and was present at the satellite outpost on the day of his capture to help put up a fence. He falls in under Earl Sutton's tutelage to become one of Hilltop's primary blacksmiths who crafts armor and weaponry for the community's denizens.
* FriendToAllChildren: He seems to be fond of children bar the anomaly of Lydia, who he lashes out at in grief over Enid. He’s very protective of Adam, and later [[spoiler:is the only one willing to try to save Gage, possibly due to having watched him grow up the last several years (as Gage confirmed he and his friends were only children during the Savior War).]]
* GoodAllAlong: Maggie believed he was just another Savior who would turn on them the moment she turned her back. Ultimately, Alden proves his worth and becomes a permanent resident of Hilltop.
* GoodCounterpart: He can be considered one to Randall from Season 2. Both are young members of heavily-armed, hostile, DisasterScavengers groups who lost their mother and brothers at the start of the ZombieApocalypse, and are both taken prisoner by Rick's group while being [[LeftForDead disregarded]] by their superiors. While both men are imprisoned in the midst of conflict with Rick's group, Alden voluntarily surrenders to the members of the Hilltop Colony during their raid on his outpost, whereas Randall is pretty much shanghaied back to the Greene farm after he impales his leg on a fence pike. The Saviors also never condoned rape, Alden included, while Randall's group had at least one instance of gang rape. Alden eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn while fully integrating himself into the Hilltop Colony and gets to live as a result; Randall never really gets the chance to prove if he is worthy to stay on the Greene farm and has his [[NeckSnap neck snapped]] by Shane before we find out [[AmbiguouslyEvil if he is truly dangerous.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: After Simon leaves the captive Saviors to their fates, he and a few others choose to stay behind and help Hilltop rather than escape when given the chance.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Besides the example mentioned under TookALevelInJerkass below, he also refuses to let Mary see her nephew because of her ''people'' leaving him to die. Mary had no direct involvement in this, so to be angry at her when he also once asked to be shown mercy for being an innocent party to the actions of his cohorts is rather hypocritical of him. He gets better in Season 11, being willing to give Gage another chance when no one else is.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Earl, who is likely old enough to be his grandfather.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:After being injured by the Reapers, he asks Maggie and Negan to leave him behind at a church in the woods while they continue to search for food, not wanting to be a hindrance to the mission. Maggie reluctantly agrees, and gives him some supplies and a knife while Alden barricades the door.]]
* JerkassToOne: He's not exactly a fan of Lydia or Mary, since their former group killed his girlfriend, Enid, and his implied maternal figure, Tammy Rose. He mellows toward the latter after recognizing her humanity around Adam, and is ultimately saddened when she's killed by Beta. He even gives her a MercyKill so she won't be added to the walker horde.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:He was killed by a Reaper during his bus trip in the first part of Season 11.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He accepts Jesus' offer for mercy and be made a prisoner in order to survive and avoid the slaughter of his fellow Saviors.
* LikeASonToMe: Alden says that Earl has been a better parent to him than his actual father was.
* MiddleManagementMook: He has some degree of authority, as he's the one who chooses to surrender and the other surviving Saviors follow his lead.
* NiceGuy: Despite his initial allegiance to the Saviors, he's actually a good person willing to do his part to protect and improve Hilltop.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome:
** He and Aaron somehow manage to get the upper hand against the Whisperers that have them surrounded at gunpoint at the end of "The Tower". The next time we see them they've turned the tables and killed the majority of their attackers.
** Manages to pull a [[spoiler:TakingYouWithMe to a Reaper who found him holed up alone in a church. Keep in mind that Alden had been wounded severely enough he could barely even ''stand''.]]
* OutOfFocus: Aside from a few minor subplots revolving around him wanting to fortify the walls and becoming a caregiver to Adam, Alden does very little in Season 10.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 11.
* PromotionToParent: He is left to raise Adam alone after the deaths of Adam's aunt Mary and adoptive father Earl.
* PunchClockVillain: Alden tells Jesus he joined the Saviors for protection and was only present at the satellite outpost to help put up a fence. It shows in "Acheron, Part I" when Negan refers to Alden and doesn't even call him by name, proving how insignificant Alden was to the overall regime.
* PutOnABus: Or rather, left in a parked bus. At the end of “Hunted”, [[spoiler:Maggie and Negan leave him alone in a church while they continue on to Meridian. He does not return for the remainder of Season 11’s first part, and is dead by the time Maggie is able to have come for him.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Serves as the primary spokesman for the captured Saviors, and prevents Jared from another ill-advised escape attempt by claiming it would just get them all killed.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: Choosing to stay behind and atone for his sins proves to be a smart move; had he elected to escape with Jared he likely would have been one of the Saviors double-crossed and killed by Rick and Morgan in the following episode.
* RelationshipUpgrade: He gets together with Enid during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9. It sadly doesn't last as she is killed by Alpha.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Though he was killed by the Reaper who hunted him down, he was able to mortally wound him all the same, as Maggie finds the Reaper as a walker in the church.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys:
** He quickly forms one with Luke, despite only knowing him for a few days. The two get along very well, due to Alden having a nice voice and Luke being a music teacher.
** In Season 10, he and Earl Sutton become this, as they’re frequently seen working or talking together.
* TokenGoodTeammate:
** One of the few Saviors who is not an abusive jerk, and as Season 8 progresses it's shown that he's really a decent person who got dealt a bad hand. When given the chance to escape, he chooses to stay behind at Hilltop, having seen what little Simon truly thinks of him.
** [[spoiler:He's the only one who wants to let Gage inside the train car to safety in "Acheron, Part II".]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: While he's understandably acting out of grief caused by the death of Enid, taking his anger out on Lydia for something her mother did is still pretty hypocritical considering Alden's past as an ex-Savior who repeatedly begged not to be blamed for the cruel actions of other Saviors. Not to mention that Lydia had already saved his life in "Bounty" by choosing to return to the Whisperers in the first place.
* TookALevelInKindness: By Season 11, having made peace with Enid’s death and after the Whisperers have long been defeated, he regains some of the kindness and mercy he lost.
* UndyingLoyalty: His loyalty to AHK remains steadfast and firm despite the hatred he receives from the latter. Later on, when Tara intends to fend off the Saviors by herself, Alden flat-out ''refuses'' to leave her, and stays by her side.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:In "Acheron, Part II", Alden is the only member of the group willing to open the door for Gage when he finds himself faced with a train car full of walkers. He's enraged when everyone else refuses to help him, and has to be restrained by Duncan.]]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Lindsley Register
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Alexandra Wilcke (German dub), Cindy Tempez (French dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 7-10)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS07E03TheCell The Cell]]"
A high-ranking Savior who is friendly with Dwight and later introduces Eugene to life at the Sanctuary. After the war she is one of the most prominent voices for peace between the Sanctuary and the other communities. When the Sanctuary community fails, Laura and several other former Saviors join Alexandria, and she rises to become a member of Alexandria's ruling council. During the Whisperer War, she is killed by Beta during his solo assault on Alexandria, giving Judith and Mary time to escape at the cost of her life.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far less butch than her comic appearance.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She first appears a full two years in the timeline before her comic counterpart.
* AffablyEvil: While still kind of a jerk, she's far and away one of the most approachable Saviors.
* AffectionateNickname: She calls Judith "Jude," reflecting her warm relationship with the kid.
* BackForTheFinale: She returns for a few flashback scenes in "Here's Negan", twelve episodes after her death.
* BatterUp: She introduced herself to Negan by clubbing him over the head with the same bat that would become his signature weapon, Lucille.
* TheCameo: Her first appearance, playing air hockey with Dwight in "The Cell," lasts for all of five seconds.
* CharacterDeath: Beta snaps her neck against the prison cell bars during his extraction of the captured Gamma in "Stalker".
* [[CloudCuckoolandersMinder Cloudcuckoolander's Minder]]: What her job chaperoning Eugene when he is first brought to The Sanctuary essentially amounts to. She's pretty chill about it, though.
-->'''Eugene:''' Can I have lobster?
-->'''Laura:''' No, you can't have lobster, what the hell do you think this is?
* CombatMedic: She used to be a doctor who traveled with her father to provide medical aid to other survivors during the apocalypse. She also knocks Negan unconscious when he tries to rob them at gunpoint (with the bat that would later become ''his'', no less).
* CoolBigSis: Not by blood, but she plays the role to Judith, being protective of her when she wanders outside the walls to help Magna's group.
* DarkActionGirl: She is a Savior footsoldier and takes part in Negan's second visit to Alexandria.
* DeathByAdaptation: Her comic counterpart survived all the way to the series' DistantFinale.
* DragonAscendant: Subverted. She is appointed as Negan's new second-in-command literally the ''day'' before the Saviors lose the war with AHK. Upon the army's defeat, Laura takes command and orders the Saviors to stand down, and remains their leader once they become heroic allies of AHK.
* EtTuBrute: She's enraged when she learns of Dwight's defection that got many of their soldiers killed and nearly got ''her'' killed as well.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: The other survivors don't mention her at all after her death, leaving many viewers confused as to whether she'd actually been killed or not. Not even Negan, who is revealed to have known her from before he started the Saviors, is seen reacting to news of her death.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While she was a NiceGirl prior to joining the Saviors, she evidently had some level of pragmatism, not hesitating to club a man over the head when he came charging into camp pointing a gun at her father. The man in question just so happened to be her future boss, Negan.
* HeelFaceTurn: Leads a group of Saviors in surrender once it's clear they're outmatched and willingly agrees to a partnership with AHK. In Season 9, she is one of the few Saviors legitimately trying to make things work for the communities, and six years later, has become a completely trusted member of Alexandria.
* HeroicSacrifice: She manages to get the drop on Beta and calmly orders Gamma to go get help and alert Alexandria to his presence, her tone of voice suggesting she knows very well she isn’t going to survive the encounter. She fights tooth and nail when Beta escapes her block, and unfortunately simply cannot match the brute strength of the overgrown Whisperer and is killed holding him off.
* HiddenDepths: Come the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9, Laura is not only a loyal Alexandrian, but she actually holds a seat on the council, making her one of its ''[[{{Irony}} leaders]]'' alongside stalwarts like Michonne, Gabriel, and Aaron. This therefore makes her the highest ranking ex-Savior alongside Alden over at Hilltop.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For a Savior, she never went too far in actual atrocities (unlike Arat, who gleefully killed children and shot the gentle Olivia), was one of the few in her group willing to listen to compromise, and happily accepted an offer of peace. It says a lot that, unlike certain other Saviors after the war, she not only stays allied with Alexandria, she even becomes one of its leaders, and becomes a much gentler person for it.
* KickTheDog: Like all of the Saviors, she despises the people of Alexandria for their massacre of several of her cohorts in their sleep. When she visits Alexandria, she threatens Eugene after he observes her flirting with Spencer, and when Rick tries to break up the beating of Aaron, she holds him at gunpoint. She eventually allies with them in the aftermath of the war however, no doubt thankful they spared her life and the lives of her cohorts.
* MauveShirt: We see a few bits of her character, and she’s one of the few Saviors who completely pulls a HeelFaceTurn with the most success, but we still don’t learn much about her before she is killed in Season 10’s "Stalker", after a three-season tenure on the show.
* MiddleManagementMook: Along with Arat and Gary, she is one of the highest ranking Sanctuary Saviors outside of Negan's inner circle.
* MookPromotion: To reward her for leaking Dwight's defection to AHK, Negan appoints her as his new second-in-command in the twilight hours of the war. Though it doesn’t last long, it lasts long enough that the surviving Saviors follow her lead in surrendering.
* TheNicknamer: She gives Eugene the nickname "Haircut," first derisively, and then affectionately.
* PetTheDog: Treats Eugene much better when he's a guest in the Sanctuary and helps him get used to living under them. She even offers to get Eugene some food, whatever he wants, (within reason, of course) in what may be the very first time on screen a Savior voluntarily does ''anything'' for somebody else not affiliated with their group. While it’s because Negan is trying to butter up Eugene with a life of comfort and respect, she is genuine.
* PosthumousCharacter: She appears as part of Michonne’s hallucination of an alternate life in which she became a Savior, being present when Negan allows her into the fold, and being Michonne’s roommate at Simon’s outpost during the Alexandrian raid.
* PunchClockVillain: She actually seems like a pretty cool person when she's not working.
* ShipTease: With Dwight, and also with Spencer Monroe. Both end up suffering ShipSinking, as Spencer is killed by Negan, and Dwight nearly leads her to her death in an ambush, and is exiled by Daryl after the end of the war anyway.
* SmugSnake: Summed up when she describes how the Saviors' extortion and terrorism works: "They eat shit, we eat good." She's also delighted as hell to publicly out Dwight as a turncoat and grins right in his face. She does get better in the aftermath of the war however.
* TattooedCrook: She has a big-ass tattoo on the neck and is part of one of Negan's collection/extortion parties.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She used to be a friendly young woman who traveled with her father to help people out of the goodness of their hearts. A far cry from the abrasive lieutenant who smugly forces Eugene to watch her boss burn a man to death in the Sanctuary's furnace.
* TookALevelInKindness: Once she and the Saviors are humbled by being beaten by the militia, she chills out significantly, and is one of the few, along with Arat and D.J., who do their best to keep the peace. Six years later, she's settled into her heroism just fine, and is even one of the leaders of Alexandria.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She first gave Negan his bat so he could protect himself from a biker gang on the road. How she could have known it would later be used to bash in the skulls of countless victims (including Glenn and Abraham), and be used as a symbol for an entire organization to rally behind?
* VillainsOutShopping: Her and Dwight are shown taking shots and playing air hockey during their off-duty hours at The Sanctuary.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She goes missing in the latter half of Season 8, having never reunited with the main Savior group following the retaliatory strikes on AHK. This allows Dwight to return to the Saviors, since she is the only one who learned of his defection. She is picked up by Negan at the end of "Still Gotta Mean Something" and reveals Dwight's betrayal to the Saviors in "Worth".
* YouShallNotPass: She tries to hold Beta off long enough for Gamma to find help, and she doesn’t survive the brief fight.

One of the guards of the Sanctuary. He joins Alexandria with Laura and becomes one of Michonne's trusted guards. He is killed when he ends up as one of the many victims of the pike massacre initiated by Alpha.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: His decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* BeardOfEvil: Sports one as a Savior. It's much less pronounced after his HeelFaceTurn.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Siddiq's flashbacks to the barn massacre show that D.J. didn't break down or attempt to beg for his life before being decapitated by Alpha.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts as a Savior, but favors peace after the war - until Saviors start disappearing in the dead of night. He helps Jed ambush Carol and returns to the camp for revenge against Oceanside. He survives the battle, but does not join Jed and Regina as marauders and instead ends up a guard for Alexandria.
* MookPromotion: He's just a guard, but with Gavin dead and Eugene and Regina transferred to the new outpost, D.J. is given a seat on the Savior council. This becomes more pronounced after Simon and Dwight are killed and imprisoned, respectively, for their treachery.
* OffWithHisHead: He is among the ten people Alpha decapitates to mark the Whisperers' territory in "The Calm Before".
* PosthumousCharacter: He has made two appearances since his death in “The Calm Before”:
** In “Open Your Eyes”, Siddiq has a PTSD episode wherein he remembers D.J.’s final moments before his execution at Alpha’s hands.
** In “What We Become”, D.J. appears in the alternate timeline hallucinated by Michonne in which she became a Savior.
* TookALevelInKindness: While he was never much of a jerk to begin with, he does become friendlier after joining Alexandria.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Negan. He's delighted when his boss returns alive, and helps put down Simon's mutiny, having only participated in the slaughter of the Scavengers because he believed Simon was relaying Negan's orders. Post-TimeSkip, he shows the same loyalty to Michonne. According to Matt Mangum, his loyalty to Negan and the Saviors was only out of survival, whereas he does have genuine respect for Michonne. He's so loyal in fact that he and two of the Highwaymen go out to rescue a bunch of hostages being held by the Whisperers and ultimately die fighting.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He doesn't get much characterization beyond a newfound allegiance to Alexandria before his death in the penultimate episode of Season 9.

One of Negan's wives. A former masseuse. After the end of the Sanctuary, she moved to Alexandria and adopted a daughter. She is killed when she ends up as one of the many victims of the pike massacre initiated by Alpha.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Her decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* BackForTheDead: After having not been seen since the end of Season 8, she returns in Season 9's "Scars", where she is revealed to have settled into Alexandria during the interim and adopted a daughter. She's then killed in the very next episode, "The Calm Before".
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: In the comics there is no character named Frankie. There's also no mention of a redhead among Negan's wives. However, she fills Amber's role as the decapitated ex-wife of Negan.
* DecompositeCharacter: Takes Amber's role as the ex-wife of Negan who is decapitated by Alpha.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Like the rest of the pike victims she doesn't make it easy for the enemy in her last moments and is shown teaming up with Addy to take down a Whisperer.
* FieryRedhead: She has red hair and doesn't have any problem being herself.
* OffWithHerHead: She is among the ten people Alpha decapitates to mark the Whisperers' territory in "The Calm Before".
* TheStarscream: She plans to kill Negan alongside Tanya, but those plans are put to rest when Eugene refuses to go along with their scheme. Post-war, she and Tanya appear to have a degree of authority at the Sanctuary.
* ThoseTwoGirls: Alongside Tanya, whom she is almost never seen without.
* TookALevelInBadass: In her last episode. She wasn't much of a fighter before, but when D.J. and the Highwaymen show up to provide aid to everyone captured by the Whisperers, she doesn't hesitate to join in the brawl.

The daughter of a Savior who is killed by Rick during the raid on Regina's outpost. After the war, Gracie is adopted by Aaron and taken to live with him at Alexandria. Thanks to Aaron's parenting, Gracie grows to become a kindhearted young girl and the best friend of Judith Grimes.
----
* CheerfulChild: One of the more friendly and stable children, likely due to her sheltered upbringing in Alexandria.
* DaddysGirl: She is very close with her adoptive father, Aaron.
* {{Foil}}: Like Judith, she was raised behind the walls of Alexandria by someone who is not her biological parent. Unlike Judith, she hasn't stepped up to become a LittleMissBadass, at least not yet.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Gracie has long blonde hair and is sweet and innocent.
* HappilyAdopted: According to Ross Marquand, Gracie ''is'' in fact aware of her true parentage and that she was rescued from the Saviors' outpost as a baby.
* TheHeart: She's this in her group of friends in Alexandria. When Judith has a bully at sword-point, Gracie steps in to diffuse the situation.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: She strives to be a capable combatant like Judith. This gets her into trouble in "For Blood", [[spoiler:when Gracie heads down into the basement to find a weapon just as walkers flood the house. Judith goes to get her but by the time they head back upstairs they're both trapped.]]
* NiceGirl: She's a good kid, and is one of the few people to show Lydia any kindness when she moves into Alexandria.
* NonActionGuy: Compared to [[LittleMissBadass Judith]], she is not combat-proficient.
* SoleSurvivor: With Regina's death in early Season 9, she is now the last surviving inhabitant of the Insurance Office outpost. [[spoiler:With the death of Alden in Season 11, she’s the last known surviving Savior still with the group.]]

->''"A new Sanctuary. Damn, how badass was that place? And then Rick Grimes comes along, talk about hypocrisy, kills our parents, drags us to Alexandria, lectures us about community."''
A young resident of Alexandria who guards Negan. He's later revealed to be the son of two of Negan's deceased minions.
----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: His comic counterpart first appears after the TimeSkip following the war with the Saviors. He doesn't appear in the show until well into the Whisperers arc.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A weird example. His comic counterpart was a cowardly, sniveling, mean-spirited little piece of shit who had no problems trying to beat Sophia to death and attempting to start a war that would result in the two factions of communities killing each other. This version is, for the most part, ObliviouslyEvil and even friendly towards Negan. ''However'', see AdaptationalVillainy and WouldHurtAChild below.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While his comic counterpart tried to instigate a war between the Whisperers and the Coalition, he never directly killed anyone.
* AgeLift: He appears to be slightly older than his comic counterpart, who was in his early teens.
* AssholeVictim: It's OK to admit you cheered when Negan killed him, considering that he just murdered a mother and her child and expected to be rewarded for it.
* BadLiar: Gives this as a reason he can't go back to Alexandria, since everyone will want to know where he's been all this time. Negan doesn't care.
* CharacterDeath: Negan bashes his head in with a rock.
* ChekhovsGunman: He makes a couple of quick cameos guarding Negan before playing a larger role in "What It Always Is".
* CreateYourOwnVillain: As Brandon is the son of two of Negan's (now deceased) loyal minions, Negan is indirectly to blame for Brandon's own StartOfDarkness.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the comics, he's stabbed in the chest by Negan. While Negan still kills him in the show, it's via a rock to the head.
* DissonantSerenity: His reaction (or lack thereof) to murdering two people is rather disconcerting to say the least. It definitely calls to mind Lizzie's empty response to killing her sister all the way back in Season 4.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He legitimately doesn't realize that Negan is mad at him for killing Milo and Amelia, and doesn't see anything wrong with these actions.
* EvilCounterpart: To Gracie, another child whose parents were members of the Saviors and was taken to live at Alexandria after the war. Unlike Gracie, Brandon secretly resents the Alexandrians for doing so, and (being at least a preteen at the time) never let go of the mindset his parents instilled in him.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Absolutely no one in Alexandria brings up the fact that he's missing or ever inquire what happened to him.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: When Negan tells him to fuck off Brandon says, "You're just like all the others", implying he's not exactly the most popular person in Alexandria.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed as he's still a relative nobody in the grand scheme of things, but in the span of one episode he goes from an annoying, obsessed fanboy to a cold-blooded child murderer who even Negan is disgusted by.
* HateSink: His fanboy antics are grating enough that it's actually satisfying when Negan tells him to get lost. And then he murders two innocent people and still expects Negan will reward him for it.
* HeroWorshipper: For Negan, who isn't exactly thrilled about having Brandon follow him around while he's on a mission to kill Alpha.
* KarmicDeath: He looks up to Negan as a role model, creates a new Lucille for him, and murders two people to prove himself worthy of being a Savior. Fittingly, Negan kills Brandon by bashing his head in, just like his "hero" did to Glenn and Abraham with the original Lucille when he was first introduced.
* KilledMidSentence: He triumphantly exclaims, "I am Neg--" before being cut off by a rock to the head, courtesy of Negan himself.
* LoonyFan: Much to Negan's growing irritation. After witnessing his idol smash a walker's head to bits with a door, Brandon grins and exclaims, "Classic Negan!"
* ObliviouslyEvil: Sees nothing wrong with the two murders he commits. He's only trying to impress Negan, after all.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He rates walkers on their hotness from 1-10, which even discarding the gross factor of rating deceased walking corpses is a pretty immature way of considering people’s attractiveness.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Though several Saviors moved into Alexandria during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9, Brandon is not seen nor mentioned until the first episode of Season 10.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: This is what he ''thinks'' Negan telling him to leave Milo and Amelia alone and get lost is. He's very, very wrong.
* TheSociopath: He feigns empathy for Milo and Amelia by claiming he can relate to their struggles before suggesting to Negan that they rob them for supplies the minute they leave. Later, he is disturbingly unfazed at having just murdered the two of them and in fact ''cheers'' because he thinks this act has finally earned him the title of a Savior.
* SycophanticServant: He's a Negan fanboy who is willing to go to some extremes to earn the ex-Savior leader's respect.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Aside from the moment where he backtracks and refers to Negan as "sir", there's nothing in either of his first two appearances that would suggest he's anything other than a lowly prison guard.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart is the son of Tammy Rose and her husband Morton Rose (who in the series is a CompositeCharacter with Earl Sutton).
* WouldHurtAChild: He kills Milo (a boy no older than ten) by ''beating him to death with a tire iron''. This is ''after'' Negan tells him to his face that he doesn't kill innocent children.

->''"The last time I felt... just alive, was with her. And I want to feel it again."''
A Savior who initially defected along with his wife Sherry and her sister Tina, but returned to the fold. He was heavily burned as punishment and now acts as one of Negan's lieutenants. Dwight murdered Denise, revealing to the group that the Saviors were ''not'' defeated and still very much alive. He helped capture Daryl and bore witness to Negan's subjugation of the Alexandrians, and took joy in torturing Daryl when he was taken prisoner at the Sanctuary. However, Dwight began to realize that his new life under Negan's thumb wasn't worth it, compounded when Sherry freed Daryl and fled for parts unknown. Dwight eventually came to Rick and offered his services to help bring down Negan once and for all. Dwight was a critical asset to AHK during the Savior War until he was finally compromised towards the end of the fighting, but got to see Negan defeated. After sincerely apologizing to Daryl, Dwight was exiled by his former prisoner and tasked with finding Sherry, but was barred from ever returning.
He followed Sherry's trail all the way to Texas, where he reunited with Morgan and his group of survivors, agreeing to put their past behind them. After joining Morgan's group, Dwight continues his search for his missing wife.
----
* AccidentalMurder: Accidentally shoots Denise with his crossbow when he was initially aiming for Daryl.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart has brown hair.
* AdaptationExpansion: The show delves into his backstory before his appearance in the comic.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In his first appearance, he does not have half of his face burned like his comic counterpart. When he returns in "Twice as Far" he does, but it's still not as bad as in the comics. As in the case of Carl, it's likely the wound was made less severe in a case of PragmaticAdaptation.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: First appears long before his comic counterpart did.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He is more petty and vindictive than in the comics upon being reintroduced.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Zig-zagged. In his first appearance, he clearly desires to be good and not evil. [[TookALevelInJerkass It doesn't stay that way for long.]] After his HeelFaceTurn he becomes less of a {{Jerkass}} than his comic counterpart was at that point in the story. Taken further when he joins the cast of ''Fear the Walking Dead'' and becomes more of a straight hero, whereas Comic!Dwight eventually gave into his rage and underwent another FaceHeelTurn in the last arc.
* AintTooProudToBeg: At the end of the Savior War he breaks down and pleads with Daryl to spare him.
* AntiVillain: "The Cell" makes it clear that he doesn't really want to be evil, and only follows Negan because he doesn't see a better alternative.
* ArchEnemy: To Daryl. He is the first Alexandria survivor Dwight encounters, and promptly betrays and robs him, stealing his crossbow. Later, he murders Daryl's good friend Denise and non-fatally shoots him out of spite when he comes looking for revenge. The fact that CanonForeigner Daryl owns the iconic crossbow, motorcycle, and leather vest that are Dwight's trademark items in the comic, and that Dwight was in effect a version of Daryl created for the comic after he became a BreakoutCharacter, may have something to do with their rivalry in a meta sense.
* AscendedFanboy: In "Till Death", he gets to team up with one of his childhood pro wrestling idols, Mickey a.k.a. "The Bride". He's appropriately thrilled when he realizes it's her.
* BadassBiker: As of "Always Accountable", he takes possession of Daryl's bike. He somehow loses it to Primo before the events of "Not Tomorrow Yet", but reclaims it in "Service".
* BattleCouple: He and Sherry show shades of becoming one in "Honey" as they work together to hijack Althea's MRAP from Virginia's group. However, it's not until the Season 6 finale, in which they help a family reclaim their cellar from a trio of Teddy's followers, that they truly settle into this dynamic. Now that Sherry is more at peace with herself the two are more in sync, and dish out some well-deserved vengeance against one of the acolytes by leaving him with his legs shot up to witness as one of Teddy's nukes hits the farm.
* BeardOfEvil: Grows a sparse one between his appearances in "Always Accountable" and "Twice as Far".
* BeingEvilSucks: "The Cell" shows how Dwight's life in the Sanctuary isn't all it's cracked up to be. He's merely a PunchClockVillain who's doing whatever it takes to remain alive, and doesn't have the {{sadist}}ic joy certain other Saviors get out of their positions.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He was initially a respectable guy when first introduced, but when he returns he's upgraded to a FauxAffablyEvil {{Jerkass}}.
* BeneathTheMask: His interactions with Sherry when the two secretly meet in the stairwell to talk really drive home that he ''still'' loathes being a part of The Saviors and that his attempts to justify their 'life' there are pathetic, even to himself. By the end of "The Cell", it's implied even he can't even convince himself it's worth it anymore.
* BlueOni: The more reserved and calculating Blue to his wife's Red.
* TheBusCameBack:
** After his debut appearance in "Always Accountable," he makes his return eight episodes later in "Twice as Far".
** After leaving the main series at the end of Season 8, he reappears in the fifth season of ''Fear the Walking Dead'' as a full-time cast member.
* CruelToBeKind: Despite their antipathy, Dwight tries to convince Daryl to submit to Negan's will, viewing it as the least painful option. When Daryl once again refuses Negan's offer to join The Saviors, [[PetTheDog Dwight quickly tries to talk him out of it before Negan overrules him.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** "The Cell" primarily focuses on Dwight's character and motivations, namely how he came to work for Negan again.
** He also gets some spotlight in "Hostiles and Calamities", which deals with the fallout of Sherry leaving him.
* DemotedToExtra: Zig-zagged. He remains a prominent character in the comic books even after the Savior War. Here, he gets PutOnABus immediately after the war, but goes on to play a prominent role in ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead''.
* TheDragon: In "The Key", Simon tries to talk him into becoming ''his'' Dragon after he takes over. After some deliberation, Dwight accepts, though unbeknownst to Simon, his true loyalties are still to Rick's group. When Negan returns and Dwight helps him take down Simon, Negan pretends to offer him Simon's position, but reveals it was a ruse as he knows of his treachery.
* DrivenToSuicide: He admits he was starting to give up on ever finding Sherry and was seriously contemplating suicide before meeting Morgan's group and being touched by how John and June were able to find each other again in the apocalypse, which gave him a renewed sense of hope that he might find Sherry again.
* EasilyForgiven:
** After stealing insulin, defecting from the Saviors, and leading them on a merry chase through the woods that gets two of them killed by Sasha and Abraham and another's arm amputated, Dwight returns to the Saviors and, within two months, has been promoted to a position of leadership. He did get a hot iron pressed against his face, but becoming anything more than a lowly {{Mook}} after this behavior is surprising.
** When he meets Morgan in Texas, he quickly tries to make some sort of apology for his atrocities committed during his time as a Savior (as Morgan is the only one with any sort of experience of it). However, Morgan quickly tells him not to worry about it, accepting him for now working to move past it all.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does genuinely love his wife Sherry and sister-in-law Tina.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In his first appearance, he doesn't want to kill, and he flinches at the sight of Wade amputating another man's infected arm nonchalantly.
* EvilCounterpart: To Daryl. He's the most competent member of the Saviors when we are first introduced to them, much like how Daryl was initially bar none the most competent member of the Atlanta group in the beginning of the show. Dwight then steals Daryl's crossbow and motorcycle, and later is using them as his trademark possessions. When Daryl steals the crossbow back from Dwight in "Twice as Far", Dwight even takes it back in the following episode and is seen wielding it in the finale. In Season 7, Dwight is also now wearing Daryl's trademark leather jacket, just about completing the look he's stealing from Daryl, though Daryl takes it back in the mid-Season 8 finale. [[spoiler:The similarities eventually increase in Season 10 when Daryl's girlfriend Leah similarly leaves him without warning and joins a masked group of survivors after her disappearance.]]
* TheExile: After the war, Daryl tell him to leave, find Sherry, and never come back again, or he will kill him.
* FaceHeelTurn: Has become a cruel and murderous member of the Saviors by the time of his reappearance in "Twice as Far".
* FacialHorror: [[AdaptationalAttractiveness Surprisingly downplayed]]. His scars are a lot less noticeable than his comic book counterpart's.
* FakingTheDead: He and Althea dress up two walkers to look like them in order to fool Virginia while they go and build up a settlement with Morgan.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Has this demeanor after he kills Denise and later when talking to Rosita.
* {{Foil}}: To Eugene in TWD Season 8. Eugene has made a FaceHeelTurn to the Saviors while Dwight is secretly working as a [[TheMole mole]] for the Coalition. Their reasons for their initial allegiance to the Saviors also differ: Eugene is doing it out of cowardice while Dwight was only trying to protect his wife.
* FriendVersusLover: In "Honey", he is torn between his desire to retire to a peaceful life with Sherry and his loyalty to his friends Morgan and Althea.
* GoAndSinNoMore: After Negan is finally defeated, Dwight (knowing Daryl wants to kill him) breaks down asking Daryl for forgiveness. Daryl spares Dwight and tells him to leave and "make it right" by finding Sherry.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Even after his HeelFaceTurn, Dwight has a notable ruthless streak that resurfaces every now and again. Especially when Sherry reenters the picture and Dwight finds himself returning to a version of the man he was back in Season 7.
* GroinAttack: [[CombatPragmatist Eugene]] bites his crotch so that Abraham, Daryl, and Rosita can take out the rest of his group.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Much like his comic counterpart, he switches in between acting good and evil depending on how he views his situation. True to form, he has a habit of being portrayed as a sympathetic PunchClockVillain reluctantly working for his abusive leader or a total HateSink who takes a little too much joy in laughing at the other people he torments. Ultimately, he comes to Alexandria to join the alliance against Negan, but naturally, the group is skeptical. "Mercy" confirms that he is indeed on Rick's side. In "How It's Gotta Be", his status as TheMole has been revealed to Laura, who escapes with this information. Dwight is allowed to join the main group at Alexandria. However, when Laura is revealed to have gone missing, Dwight returns to the Saviors to continue the charade until she resurfaces, now outed as being on AHK's side.
* HiddenDepths: He's a talented woodcarver. He also proves to be quite reliable, courageous, and savvy when he operates as a double agent for Rick in Season 8.
* IcyBlueEyes: The first time we see him up close, he's staring angrily at Daryl with cold blue eyes.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Averted, which is notable on this show. He aims at Daryl but shoots Denise instead, blaming it on the crossbow's kick, which only has any affect after the bolt has already been fired.
* InformedAttribute: He suffers from short-term memory loss according to Sherry, though this is never shown on-screen.
* InSeriesNickname: He frequently goes by "D."
* {{Jerkass}}: In the second half of Season 6 and much of Season 7, he's one of the nastier Saviors, developing an unhealthy hatred towards Daryl, shrugging off his murder of Denise, and tormenting Rosita both times they meet.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In his first appearance, he's this. He is abrasive and betrays Daryl in the end, but it is clear that he cares for his wife and sister-in-law. So much that he later becomes Negan's top lieutenant at the Sanctuary if it means keeping Sherry safe. Once she leaves, he quickly switches sides and offers to help Rick take down his former boss, showing that he is capable of being a good man again. In Season 8 he is completely on board with Rick's plans. In "How It's Gotta Be", he sincerely apologizes to Michonne as she watches Alexandria burn, and in "Dead or Alive Or", he apologizes to both Daryl and Tara, and admits he only wanted to make things right.
* KickTheDog:
** He coldly brushes off [[ShrinkingViolet Denise's]] AccidentalMurder by admitting that he wanted to kill Daryl instead.
** He shoots Daryl in the shoulder for no other reason than pure spite.
** "The Cell" involves him doing this to Daryl repeatedly; however, the scene where he coldly shows Daryl a Polaroid of Glenn's remains and blames him for his friend's death stands out.
** He takes Rosita's hat and empties out her canteen for no other reason than to be a dick.
** He frames Dr. Carson for Daryl's escape to cover his own ass, which results in the man's brutal demise. This is after the doctor was one of the only Saviors to treat Dwight with any human decency.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Daryl, Rosita, Abraham, and Eugene overpower his ambush, Dwight wisely makes a break for it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He gets beaten and tossed into Daryl's cell by the Saviors after failing to prevent his prisoner's escape.
* LeanAndMean: He's very skinny and a bit harsh. Especially after he rejoins the Saviors.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: A recurring theme in Dwight's arc.
** After Tina died, Dwight and Sherry returned to the Sanctuary, asking for Negan's forgiveness. Negan was going to kill Dwight on the spot, before Sherry offered to become one of his wives in exchange for sparing Dwight's life. Negan accepted this and Dwight received "the iron" as punishment instead.
** Subverted in ''Fear'' Season 6. While Sherry and her new group are not evil, they're extremists who want to kill Virginia right away instead of going with Morgan's far more reasonable plan to wait until the time is right to strike. Dwight is so eager to live in peace with Sherry that he betrays his friends and sides with his wife, until Sherry, realizing he's becoming like his old self again, takes Dwight's gun and locks him up with Morgan and Althea. Dwight realizes his mistake and is able to talk Sherry down from opening fire on some of Virginia's men.
* MercyKill: Gives one of these to a defiant Savior named Gordon, although it's a bit of a subversion as he doesn't shoot him in the head and later brings his body back to the Sanctuary so that Gordon is trapped there even in death.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors after Negan's influence causes Sherry to leave him.
* TheMole: At the end of Season 7, he joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors as their "inside man". He is finally compromised when Laura sees him gun down several Saviors and manages to escape with this knowledge. A few episodes later, Dwight learns that Laura has gone missing and thus his defection is not known among the Saviors, so he takes the opportunity to return to the Saviors to continue as TheMole until the penultimate episode of the season, when she returns and he is outed by Negan himself.
* MookLieutenant: He becomes one after the TimeSkip in Season 6, getting a seat in the Savior's governing council and becoming Negan's top enforcer at the Sanctuary.
* MookPromotion: He started out as a mere worker, but after impressing Negan with his courage and toughness after getting his face ironed, he is elevated to a high position of authority.
* NervesOfSteel: You'd have to be in order to operate as a double-agent against the Saviors. He doesn't even panic when Negan finds out about his betrayal, and calmly accepts his fate as the Saviors' prisoner in the next two episodes. In fact, the only things that rattle Dwight are when Sherry's life is in danger and when he is begging Daryl to spare him at the end of the war.
* NumberTwo: By Season 7, Dwight has become this to Negan. While Simon still outranks him in the overall hierarchy, Dwight is Negan's top lieutenant at the Sanctuary.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction upon witnessing that Daryl has escaped and killed Fat Joey under ''his'' watch.
* PsychoticLoveTriangle: Finds himself competing for his wife against [[TheDreaded Negan.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: He greets Daryl with one on his face after they reunite and he has just killed Denise.
* PunchClockVillain: "The Cell" is all about acknowledging that he's only in with the Saviors because he's trying to keep himself and his wife alive and safe, but admits that BeingEvilSucks.
* PutOnABus: After the war ends, he is exiled by Daryl and leaves to find Sherry. As of Season 9, he is no longer part of the main cast.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: After spending most of Season 8 on a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge ruthless vengeance crusade]] against the Saviors, Daryl chooses to leave Dwight alive after he pulls a genuine HeelFaceTurn and Daryl finally sees how remorseful for his crimes he truly is.
* ReformedButRejected: Daryl and Tara are extremely reluctant to accept him as an ally, with Tara even going as far as to try to kill him. She comes around on him after he saves her life, while Daryl takes the entirety of the war and Negan's confirmation to fully believe that Dwight is on their side.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He, Sherry, and Tina pulled this with the Saviors prior to being introduced. He does this again when Daryl offers to take him back to Alexandria.
* ShootTheMedicFirst: Though it was a [[AccidentalMurder accident]], he kills Denise with a crossbow, making her the first official casualty against the Saviors and leaving Alexandria without a medic.
* SixthRanger: After his true allegiance to Rick is revealed, Dwight tags along with the Alexandria crew, having no choice but to join the group full-time. He ends up forced to head back to the Sanctuary with a group of Saviors to keep the Alexandrians from being discovered.
* TheStarscream: In "Something They Need", Dwight decides he's done following Negan and joins Rick's alliance to take down the Saviors for good. He takes it a step further in "The Key", when Simon confesses that he seeks to replace Negan as leader, and Dwight decides to go along with his coup, hoping that Simon's volatile nature and poor leadership skills will result in AHK having a better chance defeating him than Negan. He actually becomes TheStarscream to Simon's Starscream, when Negan has him help bring down Simon's mutiny.
* StockholmSyndrome: Quite disturbingly forms a bizarre loyalty towards Negan once he moves up in his inner circle, despite the fact that his leader belittles him and brags about owning his wife. He later admits it was only to provide Sherry with the most comfortable life possible in the Sanctuary, and that he's always hated Negan.
* ThouShaltNotKill: In his first appearance, he reveals that he's never killed another human being because he fears not being able to come back from it. He seems to have gotten over this in his first appearance after the TimeSkip, where he makes his reintroduction by killing Denise and then brushes it off as no big deal.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Starting with his second appearance, he becomes much colder as a result of everything he's been through since re-joining the Saviors.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his HeelFaceTurn he sincerely apologizes to all those he has wronged and goes along with Rick's plans without any objections.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Or favorite ''snack'': beer and pretzels.
* TwoFaced: Half of his face is scarred when he shows up again, as punishment for theft and defecting.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He badly underestimates Daryl and Eugene when he has them both hostage.
* UngratefulBastard: After Daryl saves his life and offers to take him and Sherry back to Alexandria, Dwight still pulls a gun on him, stealing his motorcycle and crossbow. Later, he tries to kill Daryl with said crossbow but misses, killing Denise instead. Then, in "East", he shoots Daryl in the shoulder. Finally, in "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," he asks permission to execute Daryl on the spot after he strikes Negan, but he is denied. He also arranges for Dr. Carson's death by planting false evidence in his belongings, after Carson showed nothing but kindness to him.
* VillainsOutShopping: Dwight's slice of life montage back at the Sanctuary shows him and Laura playing ping-pong with shots and Dwight trying to rub together enough points to scrounge himself up a sandwich he wants to eat.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without revealing his HeelFaceRevolvingDoor in Seasons 6 and 7.

->''"I could have done something. A hundred times, and I-I-I didn't!"''
A Savior who defected with her husband Dwight and sister Tina, but returned to the fold and became one of Negan's wives. Eventually realizing their survival was not worth the life of torture under Negan's rule, she fled the Sanctuary and implored Dwight to do the same. To honor his wife's wishes, Dwight defected to AHK and played a part in the defeat of Negan. Dwight was exiled and ordered by Daryl to find her, a quest he continued all the way to Texas.
----
* ActionGirl: She's a fully qualified badass when she returns in ''Fear''.
* AdaptationExpansion: We are given more information on her past prior to her introduction in the comic.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: First appears long before her comic counterpart did.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Comic!Sherry was a BitchInSheepsClothing. Here, she volunteers to be Negan's wife to save her husband's life, rather than ditching him to lead a more 'comfortable' lifestyle, and is one of the sweetest and most mature people at The Sanctuary. In ''Fear'', she becomes more antagonistic, moving her closer to her comic counterpart, though her motivations are more sympathetic and she never does anything outright villainous.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Highly ambiguous, considering [[QuestionableConsent the nature of her marriage to him]], but Negan suggests that there is an element of this in their relationship after she calls him out on his cruelty.
* ApologeticAttacker: Expresses genuine remorse for stealing Daryl's crossbow and motorcycle.
* AscendedExtra: Goes from a minor supporting character in the parent series to one of the main characters in ''Fear''.
* TheAtoner: She desires to kill Virginia to make up for not killing Negan when she had the chance.
* BattleCouple: With Dwight. During the three-month interim between ''Fear'' Seasons 6 and 7, they build a solid reputation as a pair of modern day Robin Hoods known as the "Dark Horses".
* BeingEvilSucks: Fully acknowledges that living under the Saviors is not a fun experience.
* BrokenBird: After rejoining the Saviors, she keeps it no secret that it sucks.
* TheBusCameBack: She first appears in "Always Accountable" and doesn't appear again until "The Cell." She finally reunites with Dwight in the third episode of the sixth season of ''Fear''.
* ButNowIMustGo: Flees the Sanctuary after becoming fed up with Negan's way of life and realizing that Dwight is no longer the man she fell in love with.
* CoolBigSis: Towards her younger sister Tina.
* DealWithTheDevil: Promised herself to Negan if he'd forgive her and recruit Dwight back into his gang. Negan kept his end of the bargain, but it still came at a great cost.
* TheDarkChick: She's this to Negan.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Is absolutely terrified of Negan and what he does to his prisoners.
* FanservicePack: In "Always Accountable," she is sweaty and unwashed. When she reappears in Season 7, she has makeup, jewelry, and a dress.
* GirlFriday: She becomes one of Negan's many wives.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Lights up a few cigarettes with her ex-husband Dwight to deal with the stress of living under the Saviors.
* HeroicSacrifice: Agreed to become one of Negan's wives to save her husband's life.
* InSeriesNickname: Dwight calls her "Honey".
* MoralityPet: She is the only Savior Daryl ever regards with some degree of kindness and respect due to her sincere regret for her actions and helping him escape from the Sanctuary.
* NiceGirl: Seems to be a kind person, and genuinely apologizes to Daryl when stealing his supplies. Later, she releases him from captivity, as he had been psychologically and physically tortured and put in forced labor. She's no longer this as of her return in ''Fear''.
* NonActionGuy: "The Cell" shows that she stays in the Sanctuary and never fights in combat. This is [[TookALevelInBadass no longer the case]] when she returns in ''Fear''.
* PetTheDog: She's pretty much the only person who's kind to Daryl while he's being tortured. It's also revealed that she was the one who helped him escape.
* PsychoticLoveTriangle: She finds herself being trapped between her forced marriage to [[PsychopathicManchild Negan]] and her former husband [[SanitySlippage Dwight]].
* PutOnABus: Abandons the Saviors again and goes out on her own upon realizing that returning was an even worse choice. She remains missing all the way to the end of the Savior War, and Daryl assigns Dwight to find her as he exiles him from the AHK territories.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: She and Dwight start off as a married couple, then she's forced to marry Negan to save his life. Then she leaves Negan and Dwight because she's fed up with both of them. Then Dwight finds her again and they get back together. Then they're unable to find common ground and separate again. Finally, they decide to put the past behind them for good and start over.
* RedOni: The more belligerent, stubborn, and impulsive Red to her husband's Blue.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her plan to kill Virginia knowingly puts Dwight and Morgan's friends at risk and could potentially spell out disaster for her own group. She also refuses to listen to Morgan's sensible pleas to put off an attack until he can build up a full-fledged settlement and a proper militia to strike back against the Pioneers. Then, it's revealed Sherry doesn't actually have a personal vendetta against Virginia at all -- rather, she's projecting her guilt about not killing Negan onto Virginia, thus making her insistence on going through with the assassination as soon as possible even ''more'' reckless and ill-advised.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: What she, Dwight, and Tina try to do with the Saviors, though they eventually decide to go back in the end. She eventually abandons the Saviors for real this time after it becomes too much for her to handle and she breaks up with Dwight upon realizing that he's not the same man she fell in love with.
* ShadowArchetype: To Lori. She's just a former housewife who wants to be safe with her husband and stay away from combating zombies and humans, but finds herself unable to live her old life and remains out of the horrors of the apocalypse by staying on the sidelines. She's also trapped in a love triangle between her husband and the BigBad exactly like Lori was.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When she and Dwight reunite they've both become much different people since they last saw each other. The benefit of actually ''seeing'' Negan taken down and the knowledge that he helped do so have healed most of Dwight's wounds; meanwhile, Sherry is still reeling from the trauma she experienced during her stint as Negan's mistress and the shame of not killing the Savior leader when she had the chance. After a little over a week together, they find themselves unable to reconcile their differences and separate again.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's pretty much the only kind person among the Saviors who isn't praising Negan as a noble hero.
* TookALevelInBadass: She takes an active leadership role when she joins the Outcasts, and intends on being the one to assassinate Virginia herself.
* TookALevelInCynic: Being one of Negan's wives and witnessing so much evil happen under the rule of a tyrannical dictator left her with a pretty bleak outlook on life as well as a more ruthless, pragmatic mindset. Even after reconciling with Dwight, she doesn't change her stance that "the bad guys always win", and in general seems pretty dour.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She's a lot more bitter, callous, and hot-headed when she returns in ''Fear''.
* TrappedInVillainy: She doesn't want to go along with the evils of the Saviors, but has no choice in the matter anymore.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Admits that seeing Morgan almost decapitate Virginia didn't give her the satisfaction she wanted.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Unlike certain other Saviors she's not evil, but reluctantly finds herself going along with Negan's brutality.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her without spoiling her return in Season 6 of ''Fear''.
* WhatTheHellHero: Finally calls out Dwight in "Sing Me a Song" for becoming a supporter for Negan and brushing off his immoral acts under the rug. Taken to its logical conclusion when she departs from the Saviors after helping Daryl escape.
* WrongNameOutburst: When Sherry is trying to explain to Dwight why she's so dead-set on killing Virginia, she tells him that they "can't just let '''him''' keep doing this..." This makes Dwight realize it isn't Virginia she's angry at, but ''Negan''.

->''"I was -- I was by myself for a while. Then I found a safe place. Buncha survivors, buncha tough guys, too. Eventually, one of them took over, and another one took over, but I wasn't really paying much attention 'cause, you know, I was gettin' fed."''
A Savior in the repopulated satellite outpost. When the Hilltop strike team overwhelms them, Alden orders his fellow surviving Saviors to surrender, and Jesus takes them as prisoners at Hilltop. Alden does his best to maintain peace between his cohorts and their captors, seeking to make sure no blood is shed. After being shown kindness by Maggie and AHK, as well as being abandoned to his fate by Simon, Alden fully defects to Hilltop, where he remains after the end of the Savior War.
Seven years after Negan's defeat, Alden eventually gets together with Enid, but is distraught when she is among Alpha’s many victims during the fair. As the Whisperer War approaches, he forms a family unit of sorts with Earl as they work together to raise Adam, and the two men lead the efforts to fortify Hilltop for the coming conflict. Earl perishes in the aftermath of the Battle of Hilltop, leaving Alden to raise Adam alone.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:His fate by the time Maggie comes to get him in "No Other Way". She tearfully puts her undead friend out of his misery.]]
* AscendedExtra: He receives more screen time than usual in the first three episodes of Season 11, befitting his PromotionToOpeningTitles. [[spoiler:Turns out to have been ADeathInTheLimelight in disguise, as he is KilledOffscreen by the time Maggie is able to return for him.]]
* TheBlacksmith: He becomes one at Hilltop under Earl's tutelage.
* CanonForeigner: Alden never appeared in the comics. However, he does share a few traits with Comic!Dante, namely his close relationship with Maggie and joining Hilltop after the Savior War. In fact, Alden ''was'' intended to become a love interest for Maggie before Lauren Cohan leaving the show in Season 9 put a stop to those plans.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: Is revealed to have been killed by a Reaper between episodes 3 and 9 of Season 11.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He had an older brother who was killed, prompting Alden to hunt down and kill those responsible, an act he thought would make him feel better, only it didn't.
* DeadpanSnarker: In "Hunted", he throws out a few sarcastic barbs directed at his old boss, Negan. [[spoiler:Bordering on DisabledSnarker considering Alden's been badly injured by the Reapers.]]
* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:As noted above, he receives the most screentime he’s ever had in the first three episodes of Season 11, focusing on his ideological disagreements with Maggie’s increased ruthlessness, before he ends up dying offscreen.]]
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Becomes this to Adam upon his death.]]
* DisappointedInYou: Alden has a clear look of disappointment when Rick and Morgan return from their mission without any surviving Saviors.
* DistressedDude: Along with Luke, he is captured by Alpha at gunpoint while searching for their missing people. The two are later successfully traded for Alpha's daughter, Lydia, and the Whisperers leave in (temporary) peace.
* TheEngineer: Alden is, in his own words, "good with my hands", and was present at the satellite outpost on the day of his capture to help put up a fence. He falls in under Earl Sutton's tutelage to become one of Hilltop's primary blacksmiths who crafts armor and weaponry for the community's denizens.
* FriendToAllChildren: He seems to be fond of children bar the anomaly of Lydia, who he lashes out at in grief over Enid. He’s very protective of Adam, and later [[spoiler:is the only one willing to try to save Gage, possibly due to having watched him grow up the last several years (as Gage confirmed he and his friends were only children during the Savior War).]]
* GoodAllAlong: Maggie believed he was just another Savior who would turn on them the moment she turned her back. Ultimately, Alden proves his worth and becomes a permanent resident of Hilltop.
* GoodCounterpart: He can be considered one to Randall from Season 2. Both are young members of heavily-armed, hostile, DisasterScavengers groups who lost their mother and brothers at the start of the ZombieApocalypse, and are both taken prisoner by Rick's group while being [[LeftForDead disregarded]] by their superiors. While both men are imprisoned in the midst of conflict with Rick's group, Alden voluntarily surrenders to the members of the Hilltop Colony during their raid on his outpost, whereas Randall is pretty much shanghaied back to the Greene farm after he impales his leg on a fence pike. The Saviors also never condoned rape, Alden included, while Randall's group had at least one instance of gang rape. Alden eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn while fully integrating himself into the Hilltop Colony and gets to live as a result; Randall never really gets the chance to prove if he is worthy to stay on the Greene farm and has his [[NeckSnap neck snapped]] by Shane before we find out [[AmbiguouslyEvil if he is truly dangerous.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: After Simon leaves the captive Saviors to their fates, he and a few others choose to stay behind and help Hilltop rather than escape when given the chance.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Besides the example mentioned under TookALevelInJerkass below, he also refuses to let Mary see her nephew because of her ''people'' leaving him to die. Mary had no direct involvement in this, so to be angry at her when he also once asked to be shown mercy for being an innocent party to the actions of his cohorts is rather hypocritical of him. He gets better in Season 11, being willing to give Gage another chance when no one else is.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Earl, who is likely old enough to be his grandfather.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:After being injured by the Reapers, he asks Maggie and Negan to leave him behind at a church in the woods while they continue to search for food, not wanting to be a hindrance to the mission. Maggie reluctantly agrees, and gives him some supplies and a knife while Alden barricades the door.]]
* JerkassToOne: He's not exactly a fan of Lydia or Mary, since their former group killed his girlfriend, Enid, and his implied maternal figure, Tammy Rose. He mellows toward the latter after recognizing her humanity around Adam, and is ultimately saddened when she's killed by Beta. He even gives her a MercyKill so she won't be added to the walker horde.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:He was killed by a Reaper during his bus trip in the first part of Season 11.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He accepts Jesus' offer for mercy and be made a prisoner in order to survive and avoid the slaughter of his fellow Saviors.
* LikeASonToMe: Alden says that Earl has been a better parent to him than his actual father was.
* MiddleManagementMook: He has some degree of authority, as he's the one who chooses to surrender and the other surviving Saviors follow his lead.
* NiceGuy: Despite his initial allegiance to the Saviors, he's actually a good person willing to do his part to protect and improve Hilltop.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome:
** He and Aaron somehow manage to get the upper hand against the Whisperers that have them surrounded at gunpoint at the end of "The Tower". The next time we see them they've turned the tables and killed the majority of their attackers.
** Manages to pull a [[spoiler:TakingYouWithMe to a Reaper who found him holed up alone in a church. Keep in mind that Alden had been wounded severely enough he could barely even ''stand''.]]
* OutOfFocus: Aside from a few minor subplots revolving around him wanting to fortify the walls and becoming a caregiver to Adam, Alden does very little in Season 10.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 11.
* PromotionToParent: He is left to raise Adam alone after the deaths of Adam's aunt Mary and adoptive father Earl.
* PunchClockVillain: Alden tells Jesus he joined the Saviors for protection and was only present at the satellite outpost to help put up a fence. It shows in "Acheron, Part I" when Negan refers to Alden and doesn't even call him by name, proving how insignificant Alden was to the overall regime.
* PutOnABus: Or rather, left in a parked bus. At the end of “Hunted”, [[spoiler:Maggie and Negan leave him alone in a church while they continue on to Meridian. He does not return for the remainder of Season 11’s first part, and is dead by the time Maggie is able to have come for him.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Serves as the primary spokesman for the captured Saviors, and prevents Jared from another ill-advised escape attempt by claiming it would just get them all killed.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: Choosing to stay behind and atone for his sins proves to be a smart move; had he elected to escape with Jared he likely would have been one of the Saviors double-crossed and killed by Rick and Morgan in the following episode.
* RelationshipUpgrade: He gets together with Enid during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9. It sadly doesn't last as she is killed by Alpha.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Though he was killed by the Reaper who hunted him down, he was able to mortally wound him all the same, as Maggie finds the Reaper as a walker in the church.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys:
** He quickly forms one with Luke, despite only knowing him for a few days. The two get along very well, due to Alden having a nice voice and Luke being a music teacher.
** In Season 10, he and Earl Sutton become this, as they’re frequently seen working or talking together.
* TokenGoodTeammate:
** One of the few Saviors who is not an abusive jerk, and as Season 8 progresses it's shown that he's really a decent person who got dealt a bad hand. When given the chance to escape, he chooses to stay behind at Hilltop, having seen what little Simon truly thinks of him.
** [[spoiler:He's the only one who wants to let Gage inside the train car to safety in "Acheron, Part II".]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: While he's understandably acting out of grief caused by the death of Enid, taking his anger out on Lydia for something her mother did is still pretty hypocritical considering Alden's past as an ex-Savior who repeatedly begged not to be blamed for the cruel actions of other Saviors. Not to mention that Lydia had already saved his life in "Bounty" by choosing to return to the Whisperers in the first place.
* TookALevelInKindness: By Season 11, having made peace with Enid’s death and after the Whisperers have long been defeated, he regains some of the kindness and mercy he lost.
* UndyingLoyalty: His loyalty to AHK remains steadfast and firm despite the hatred he receives from the latter. Later on, when Tara intends to fend off the Saviors by herself, Alden flat-out ''refuses'' to leave her, and stays by her side.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:In "Acheron, Part II", Alden is the only member of the group willing to open the door for Gage when he finds himself faced with a train car full of walkers. He's enraged when everyone else refuses to help him, and has to be restrained by Duncan.]]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Lindsley Register
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Alexandra Wilcke (German dub), Cindy Tempez (French dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 7-10)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS07E03TheCell The Cell]]"
A high-ranking Savior who is friendly with Dwight and later introduces Eugene to life at the Sanctuary. After the war she is one of the most prominent voices for peace between the Sanctuary and the other communities. When the Sanctuary community fails, Laura and several other former Saviors join Alexandria, and she rises to become a member of Alexandria's ruling council. During the Whisperer War, she is killed by Beta during his solo assault on Alexandria, giving Judith and Mary time to escape at the cost of her life.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far less butch than her comic appearance.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She first appears a full two years in the timeline before her comic counterpart.
* AffablyEvil: While still kind of a jerk, she's far and away one of the most approachable Saviors.
* AffectionateNickname: She calls Judith "Jude," reflecting her warm relationship with the kid.
* BackForTheFinale: She returns for a few flashback scenes in "Here's Negan", twelve episodes after her death.
* BatterUp: She introduced herself to Negan by clubbing him over the head with the same bat that would become his signature weapon, Lucille.
* TheCameo: Her first appearance, playing air hockey with Dwight in "The Cell," lasts for all of five seconds.
* CharacterDeath: Beta snaps her neck against the prison cell bars during his extraction of the captured Gamma in "Stalker".
* [[CloudCuckoolandersMinder Cloudcuckoolander's Minder]]: What her job chaperoning Eugene when he is first brought to The Sanctuary essentially amounts to. She's pretty chill about it, though.
-->'''Eugene:''' Can I have lobster?
-->'''Laura:''' No, you can't have lobster, what the hell do you think this is?
* CombatMedic: She used to be a doctor who traveled with her father to provide medical aid to other survivors during the apocalypse. She also knocks Negan unconscious when he tries to rob them at gunpoint (with the bat that would later become ''his'', no less).
* CoolBigSis: Not by blood, but she plays the role to Judith, being protective of her when she wanders outside the walls to help Magna's group.
* DarkActionGirl: She is a Savior footsoldier and takes part in Negan's second visit to Alexandria.
* DeathByAdaptation: Her comic counterpart survived all the way to the series' DistantFinale.
* DragonAscendant: Subverted. She is appointed as Negan's new second-in-command literally the ''day'' before the Saviors lose the war with AHK. Upon the army's defeat, Laura takes command and orders the Saviors to stand down, and remains their leader once they become heroic allies of AHK.
* EtTuBrute: She's enraged when she learns of Dwight's defection that got many of their soldiers killed and nearly got ''her'' killed as well.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: The other survivors don't mention her at all after her death, leaving many viewers confused as to whether she'd actually been killed or not. Not even Negan, who is revealed to have known her from before he started the Saviors, is seen reacting to news of her death.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While she was a NiceGirl prior to joining the Saviors, she evidently had some level of pragmatism, not hesitating to club a man over the head when he came charging into camp pointing a gun at her father. The man in question just so happened to be her future boss, Negan.
* HeelFaceTurn: Leads a group of Saviors in surrender once it's clear they're outmatched and willingly agrees to a partnership with AHK. In Season 9, she is one of the few Saviors legitimately trying to make things work for the communities, and six years later, has become a completely trusted member of Alexandria.
* HeroicSacrifice: She manages to get the drop on Beta and calmly orders Gamma to go get help and alert Alexandria to his presence, her tone of voice suggesting she knows very well she isn’t going to survive the encounter. She fights tooth and nail when Beta escapes her block, and unfortunately simply cannot match the brute strength of the overgrown Whisperer and is killed holding him off.
* HiddenDepths: Come the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9, Laura is not only a loyal Alexandrian, but she actually holds a seat on the council, making her one of its ''[[{{Irony}} leaders]]'' alongside stalwarts like Michonne, Gabriel, and Aaron. This therefore makes her the highest ranking ex-Savior alongside Alden over at Hilltop.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For a Savior, she never went too far in actual atrocities (unlike Arat, who gleefully killed children and shot the gentle Olivia), was one of the few in her group willing to listen to compromise, and happily accepted an offer of peace. It says a lot that, unlike certain other Saviors after the war, she not only stays allied with Alexandria, she even becomes one of its leaders, and becomes a much gentler person for it.
* KickTheDog: Like all of the Saviors, she despises the people of Alexandria for their massacre of several of her cohorts in their sleep. When she visits Alexandria, she threatens Eugene after he observes her flirting with Spencer, and when Rick tries to break up the beating of Aaron, she holds him at gunpoint. She eventually allies with them in the aftermath of the war however, no doubt thankful they spared her life and the lives of her cohorts.
* MauveShirt: We see a few bits of her character, and she’s one of the few Saviors who completely pulls a HeelFaceTurn with the most success, but we still don’t learn much about her before she is killed in Season 10’s "Stalker", after a three-season tenure on the show.
* MiddleManagementMook: Along with Arat and Gary, she is one of the highest ranking Sanctuary Saviors outside of Negan's inner circle.
* MookPromotion: To reward her for leaking Dwight's defection to AHK, Negan appoints her as his new second-in-command in the twilight hours of the war. Though it doesn’t last long, it lasts long enough that the surviving Saviors follow her lead in surrendering.
* TheNicknamer: She gives Eugene the nickname "Haircut," first derisively, and then affectionately.
* PetTheDog: Treats Eugene much better when he's a guest in the Sanctuary and helps him get used to living under them. She even offers to get Eugene some food, whatever he wants, (within reason, of course) in what may be the very first time on screen a Savior voluntarily does ''anything'' for somebody else not affiliated with their group. While it’s because Negan is trying to butter up Eugene with a life of comfort and respect, she is genuine.
* PosthumousCharacter: She appears as part of Michonne’s hallucination of an alternate life in which she became a Savior, being present when Negan allows her into the fold, and being Michonne’s roommate at Simon’s outpost during the Alexandrian raid.
* PunchClockVillain: She actually seems like a pretty cool person when she's not working.
* ShipTease: With Dwight, and also with Spencer Monroe. Both end up suffering ShipSinking, as Spencer is killed by Negan, and Dwight nearly leads her to her death in an ambush, and is exiled by Daryl after the end of the war anyway.
* SmugSnake: Summed up when she describes how the Saviors' extortion and terrorism works: "They eat shit, we eat good." She's also delighted as hell to publicly out Dwight as a turncoat and grins right in his face. She does get better in the aftermath of the war however.
* TattooedCrook: She has a big-ass tattoo on the neck and is part of one of Negan's collection/extortion parties.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She used to be a friendly young woman who traveled with her father to help people out of the goodness of their hearts. A far cry from the abrasive lieutenant who smugly forces Eugene to watch her boss burn a man to death in the Sanctuary's furnace.
* TookALevelInKindness: Once she and the Saviors are humbled by being beaten by the militia, she chills out significantly, and is one of the few, along with Arat and D.J., who do their best to keep the peace. Six years later, she's settled into her heroism just fine, and is even one of the leaders of Alexandria.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She first gave Negan his bat so he could protect himself from a biker gang on the road. How she could have known it would later be used to bash in the skulls of countless victims (including Glenn and Abraham), and be used as a symbol for an entire organization to rally behind?
* VillainsOutShopping: Her and Dwight are shown taking shots and playing air hockey during their off-duty hours at The Sanctuary.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She goes missing in the latter half of Season 8, having never reunited with the main Savior group following the retaliatory strikes on AHK. This allows Dwight to return to the Saviors, since she is the only one who learned of his defection. She is picked up by Negan at the end of "Still Gotta Mean Something" and reveals Dwight's betrayal to the Saviors in "Worth".
* YouShallNotPass: She tries to hold Beta off long enough for Gamma to find help, and she doesn’t survive the brief fight.

One of the guards of the Sanctuary. He joins Alexandria with Laura and becomes one of Michonne's trusted guards. He is killed when he ends up as one of the many victims of the pike massacre initiated by Alpha.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: His decapitated head reanimates and is put out of its misery by either Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, or Yumiko.
* BeardOfEvil: Sports one as a Savior. It's much less pronounced after his HeelFaceTurn.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Siddiq's flashbacks to the barn massacre show that D.J. didn't break down or attempt to beg for his life before being decapitated by Alpha.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts as a Savior, but favors peace after the war - until Saviors start disappearing in the dead of night. He helps Jed ambush Carol and returns to the camp for revenge against Oceanside. He survives the battle, but does not join Jed and Regina as marauders and instead ends up a guard for Alexandria.
* MookPromotion: He's just a guard, but with Gavin dead and Eugene and Regina transferred to the new outpost, D.J. is given a seat on the Savior council. This becomes more pronounced after Simon and Dwight are killed and imprisoned, respectively, for their treachery.
* OffWithHisHead: He is among the ten people Alpha decapitates to mark the Whisperers' territory in "The Calm Before".
* PosthumousCharacter: He has made two appearances since his death in “The Calm Before”:
** In “Open Your Eyes”, Siddiq has a PTSD episode wherein he remembers D.J.’s final moments before his execution at Alpha’s hands.
** In “What We Become”, D.J. appears in the alternate timeline hallucinated by Michonne in which she became a Savior.
* TookALevelInKindness: While he was never much of a jerk to begin with, he does become friendlier after joining Alexandria.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Negan. He's delighted when his boss returns alive, and helps put down Simon's mutiny, having only participated in the slaughter of the Scavengers because he believed Simon was relaying Negan's orders. Post-TimeSkip, he shows the same loyalty to Michonne. According to Matt Mangum, his loyalty to Negan and the Saviors was only out of survival, whereas he does have genuine respect for Michonne. He's so loyal in fact that he and two of the Highwaymen go out to rescue a bunch of hostages being held by the Whisperers and ultimately die fighting.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He doesn't get much characterization beyond a newfound allegiance to Alexandria before his death in the penultimate episode of Season 9.

The daughter of a Savior who is killed by Rick during the raid on Regina's outpost. After the war, Gracie is adopted by Aaron and taken to live with him at Alexandria. Thanks to Aaron's parenting, Gracie grows to become a kindhearted young girl and the best friend of Judith Grimes.
----
* CheerfulChild: One of the more friendly and stable children, likely due to her sheltered upbringing in Alexandria.
* DaddysGirl: She is very close with her adoptive father, Aaron.
* {{Foil}}: Like Judith, she was raised behind the walls of Alexandria by someone who is not her biological parent. Unlike Judith, she hasn't stepped up to become a LittleMissBadass, at least not yet.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Gracie has long blonde hair and is sweet and innocent.
* HappilyAdopted: According to Ross Marquand, Gracie ''is'' in fact aware of her true parentage and that she was rescued from the Saviors' outpost as a baby.
* TheHeart: She's this in her group of friends in Alexandria. When Judith has a bully at sword-point, Gracie steps in to diffuse the situation.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: She strives to be a capable combatant like Judith. This gets her into trouble in "For Blood", [[spoiler:when Gracie heads down into the basement to find a weapon just as walkers flood the house.

->''"A new Sanctuary. Damn, how badass was that place? And then Rick Grimes comes along, talk about hypocrisy, kills our parents, drags us to Alexandria, lectures us about community."''
A young resident of Alexandria who guards Negan. He's later revealed to be the son of two of Negan's deceased minions.
----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: His comic counterpart first appears after the TimeSkip following the war with the Saviors. He doesn't appear in the show until well into the Whisperers arc.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A weird example. His comic counterpart was a cowardly, sniveling, mean-spirited little piece of shit who had no problems trying to beat Sophia to death and attempting to start a war that would result in the two factions of communities killing each other. This version is, for the most part, ObliviouslyEvil and even friendly towards Negan. ''However'', see AdaptationalVillainy and WouldHurtAChild below.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While his comic counterpart tried to instigate a war between the Whisperers and the Coalition, he never directly killed anyone.
* AgeLift: He appears to be slightly older than his comic counterpart, who was in his early teens.
* AssholeVictim: It's OK to admit you cheered when Negan killed him, considering that he just murdered a mother and her child and expected to be rewarded for it.
* BadLiar: Gives this as a reason he can't go back to Alexandria, since everyone will want to know where he's been all this time. Negan doesn't care.
* CharacterDeath: Negan bashes his head in with a rock.
* ChekhovsGunman: He makes a couple of quick cameos guarding Negan before playing a larger role in "What It Always Is".
* CreateYourOwnVillain: As Brandon is the son of two of Negan's (now deceased) loyal minions, Negan is indirectly to blame for Brandon's own StartOfDarkness.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the comics, he's stabbed in the chest by Negan. While Negan still kills him in the show, it's via a rock to the head.
* DissonantSerenity: His reaction (or lack thereof) to murdering two people is rather disconcerting to say the least. It definitely calls to mind Lizzie's empty response to killing her sister all the way back in Season 4.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He legitimately doesn't realize that Negan is mad at him for killing Milo and Amelia, and doesn't see anything wrong with these actions.
* EvilCounterpart: To Gracie, another child whose parents were members of the Saviors and was taken to live at Alexandria after the war. Unlike Gracie, Brandon secretly resents the Alexandrians for doing so, and (being at least a preteen at the time) never let go of the mindset his parents instilled in him.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Absolutely no one in Alexandria brings up the fact that he's missing or ever inquire what happened to him.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: When Negan tells him to fuck off Brandon says, "You're just like all the others", implying he's not exactly the most popular person in Alexandria.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed as he's still a relative nobody in the grand scheme of things, but in the span of one episode he goes from an annoying, obsessed fanboy to a cold-blooded child murderer who even Negan is disgusted by.
* HateSink: His fanboy antics are grating enough that it's actually satisfying when Negan tells him to get lost. And then he murders two innocent people and still expects Negan will reward him for it.
* HeroWorshipper: For Negan, who isn't exactly thrilled about having Brandon follow him around while he's on a mission to kill Alpha.
* KarmicDeath: He looks up to Negan as a role model, creates a new Lucille for him, and murders two people to prove himself worthy of being a Savior. Fittingly, Negan kills Brandon by bashing his head in, just like his "hero" did to Glenn and Abraham with the original Lucille when he was first introduced.
* KilledMidSentence: He triumphantly exclaims, "I am Neg--" before being cut off by a rock to the head, courtesy of Negan himself.
* LoonyFan: Much to Negan's growing irritation. After witnessing his idol smash a walker's head to bits with a door, Brandon grins and exclaims, "Classic Negan!"
* ObliviouslyEvil: Sees nothing wrong with the two murders he commits. He's only trying to impress Negan, after all.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He rates walkers on their hotness from 1-10, which even discarding the gross factor of rating deceased walking corpses is a pretty immature way of considering people’s attractiveness.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Though several Saviors moved into Alexandria during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9, Brandon is not seen nor mentioned until the first episode of Season 10.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: This is what he ''thinks'' Negan telling him to leave Milo and Amelia alone and get lost is. He's very, very wrong.
* TheSociopath: He feigns empathy for Milo and Amelia by claiming he can relate to their struggles before suggesting to Negan that they rob them for supplies the minute they leave. Later, he is disturbingly unfazed at having just murdered the two of them and in fact ''cheers'' because he thinks this act has finally earned him the title of a Savior.
* SycophanticServant: He's a Negan fanboy who is willing to go to some extremes to earn the ex-Savior leader's respect.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Aside from the moment where he backtracks and refers to Negan as "sir", there's nothing in either of his first two appearances that would suggest he's anything other than a lowly prison guard.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart is the son of Tammy Rose and her husband Morton Rose (who in the series is a CompositeCharacter with Earl Sutton).
* WouldHurtAChild: He kills Milo (a boy no older than ten) by ''beating him to death with a tire iron''. This is ''after'' Negan tells him to his face that he doesn't kill innocent children.

->''"The last time I felt... just alive, was with her. And I want to feel it again."''
A Savior who initially defected along with his wife Sherry and her sister Tina, but returned to the fold. He was heavily burned as punishment and now acts as one of Negan's lieutenants. Dwight murdered Denise, revealing to the group that the Saviors were ''not'' defeated and still very much alive. He helped capture Daryl and bore witness to Negan's subjugation of the Alexandrians, and took joy in torturing Daryl when he was taken prisoner at the Sanctuary. However, Dwight began to realize that his new life under Negan's thumb wasn't worth it, compounded when Sherry freed Daryl and fled for parts unknown. Dwight eventually came to Rick and offered his services to help bring down Negan once and for all. Dwight was a critical asset to AHK during the Savior War until he was finally compromised towards the end of the fighting, but got to see Negan defeated. After sincerely apologizing to Daryl, Dwight was exiled by his former prisoner and tasked with finding Sherry, but was barred from ever returning.
He followed Sherry's trail all the way to Texas, where he reunited with Morgan and his group of survivors, agreeing to put their past behind them. After joining Morgan's group, Dwight continues his search for his missing wife.
----
* AccidentalMurder: Accidentally shoots Denise with his crossbow when he was initially aiming for Daryl.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart has brown hair.
* AdaptationExpansion: The show delves into his backstory before his appearance in the comic.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In his first appearance, he does not have half of his face burned like his comic counterpart. When he returns in "Twice as Far" he does, but it's still not as bad as in the comics. As in the case of Carl, it's likely the wound was made less severe in a case of PragmaticAdaptation.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: First appears long before his comic counterpart did.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He is more petty and vindictive than in the comics upon being reintroduced.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Zig-zagged. In his first appearance, he clearly desires to be good and not evil. [[TookALevelInJerkass It doesn't stay that way for long.]] After his HeelFaceTurn he becomes less of a {{Jerkass}} than his comic counterpart was at that point in the story. Taken further when he joins the cast of ''Fear the Walking Dead'' and becomes more of a straight hero, whereas Comic!Dwight eventually gave into his rage and underwent another FaceHeelTurn in the last arc.
* AintTooProudToBeg: At the end of the Savior War he breaks down and pleads with Daryl to spare him.
* AntiVillain: "The Cell" makes it clear that he doesn't really want to be evil, and only follows Negan because he doesn't see a better alternative.
* ArchEnemy: To Daryl. He is the first Alexandria survivor Dwight encounters, and promptly betrays and robs him, stealing his crossbow. Later, he murders Daryl's good friend Denise and non-fatally shoots him out of spite when he comes looking for revenge. The fact that CanonForeigner Daryl owns the iconic crossbow, motorcycle, and leather vest that are Dwight's trademark items in the comic, and that Dwight was in effect a version of Daryl created for the comic after he became a BreakoutCharacter, may have something to do with their rivalry in a meta sense.
* AscendedFanboy: In "Till Death", he gets to team up with one of his childhood pro wrestling idols, Mickey a.k.a. "The Bride". He's appropriately thrilled when he realizes it's her.
* BadassBiker: As of "Always Accountable", he takes possession of Daryl's bike. He somehow loses it to Primo before the events of "Not Tomorrow Yet", but reclaims it in "Service".
* BattleCouple: He and Sherry show shades of becoming one in "Honey" as they work together to hijack Althea's MRAP from Virginia's group. However, it's not until the Season 6 finale, in which they help a family reclaim their cellar from a trio of Teddy's followers, that they truly settle into this dynamic. Now that Sherry is more at peace with herself the two are more in sync, and dish out some well-deserved vengeance against one of the acolytes by leaving him with his legs shot up to witness as one of Teddy's nukes hits the farm.
* BeardOfEvil: Grows a sparse one between his appearances in "Always Accountable" and "Twice as Far".
* BeingEvilSucks: "The Cell" shows how Dwight's life in the Sanctuary isn't all it's cracked up to be. He's merely a PunchClockVillain who's doing whatever it takes to remain alive, and doesn't have the {{sadist}}ic joy certain other Saviors get out of their positions.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He was initially a respectable guy when first introduced, but when he returns he's upgraded to a FauxAffablyEvil {{Jerkass}}.
* BeneathTheMask: His interactions with Sherry when the two secretly meet in the stairwell to talk really drive home that he ''still'' loathes being a part of The Saviors and that his attempts to justify their 'life' there are pathetic, even to himself. By the end of "The Cell", it's implied even he can't even convince himself it's worth it anymore.
* BlueOni: The more reserved and calculating Blue to his wife's Red.
* TheBusCameBack:
** After his debut appearance in "Always Accountable," he makes his return eight episodes later in "Twice as Far".
** After leaving the main series at the end of Season 8, he reappears in the fifth season of ''Fear the Walking Dead'' as a full-time cast member.
* CruelToBeKind: Despite their antipathy, Dwight tries to convince Daryl to submit to Negan's will, viewing it as the least painful option. When Daryl once again refuses Negan's offer to join The Saviors, [[PetTheDog Dwight quickly tries to talk him out of it before Negan overrules him.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** "The Cell" primarily focuses on Dwight's character and motivations, namely how he came to work for Negan again.
** He also gets some spotlight in "Hostiles and Calamities", which deals with the fallout of Sherry leaving him.
* DemotedToExtra: Zig-zagged. He remains a prominent character in the comic books even after the Savior War. Here, he gets PutOnABus immediately after the war, but goes on to play a prominent role in ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead''.
* TheDragon: In "The Key", Simon tries to talk him into becoming ''his'' Dragon after he takes over. After some deliberation, Dwight accepts, though unbeknownst to Simon, his true loyalties are still to Rick's group. When Negan returns and Dwight helps him take down Simon, Negan pretends to offer him Simon's position, but reveals it was a ruse as he knows of his treachery.
* DrivenToSuicide: He admits he was starting to give up on ever finding Sherry and was seriously contemplating suicide before meeting Morgan's group and being touched by how John and June were able to find each other again in the apocalypse, which gave him a renewed sense of hope that he might find Sherry again.
* EasilyForgiven:
** After stealing insulin, defecting from the Saviors, and leading them on a merry chase through the woods that gets two of them killed by Sasha and Abraham and another's arm amputated, Dwight returns to the Saviors and, within two months, has been promoted to a position of leadership. He did get a hot iron pressed against his face, but becoming anything more than a lowly {{Mook}} after this behavior is surprising.
** When he meets Morgan in Texas, he quickly tries to make some sort of apology for his atrocities committed during his time as a Savior (as Morgan is the only one with any sort of experience of it). However, Morgan quickly tells him not to worry about it, accepting him for now working to move past it all.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does genuinely love his wife Sherry and sister-in-law Tina.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In his first appearance, he doesn't want to kill, and he flinches at the sight of Wade amputating another man's infected arm nonchalantly.
* EvilCounterpart: To Daryl. He's the most competent member of the Saviors when we are first introduced to them, much like how Daryl was initially bar none the most competent member of the Atlanta group in the beginning of the show. Dwight then steals Daryl's crossbow and motorcycle, and later is using them as his trademark possessions. When Daryl steals the crossbow back from Dwight in "Twice as Far", Dwight even takes it back in the following episode and is seen wielding it in the finale. In Season 7, Dwight is also now wearing Daryl's trademark leather jacket, just about completing the look he's stealing from Daryl, though Daryl takes it back in the mid-Season 8 finale. [[spoiler:The similarities eventually increase in Season 10 when Daryl's girlfriend Leah similarly leaves him without warning and joins a masked group of survivors after her disappearance.]]
* TheExile: After the war, Daryl tell him to leave, find Sherry, and never come back again, or he will kill him.
* FaceHeelTurn: Has become a cruel and murderous member of the Saviors by the time of his reappearance in "Twice as Far".
* FacialHorror: [[AdaptationalAttractiveness Surprisingly downplayed]]. His scars are a lot less noticeable than his comic book counterpart's.
* FakingTheDead: He and Althea dress up two walkers to look like them in order to fool Virginia while they go and build up a settlement with Morgan.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Has this demeanor after he kills Denise and later when talking to Rosita.
* {{Foil}}: To Eugene in TWD Season 8. Eugene has made a FaceHeelTurn to the Saviors while Dwight is secretly working as a [[TheMole mole]] for the Coalition. Their reasons for their initial allegiance to the Saviors also differ: Eugene is doing it out of cowardice while Dwight was only trying to protect his wife.
* FriendVersusLover: In "Honey", he is torn between his desire to retire to a peaceful life with Sherry and his loyalty to his friends Morgan and Althea.
* GoAndSinNoMore: After Negan is finally defeated, Dwight (knowing Daryl wants to kill him) breaks down asking Daryl for forgiveness. Daryl spares Dwight and tells him to leave and "make it right" by finding Sherry.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Even after his HeelFaceTurn, Dwight has a notable ruthless streak that resurfaces every now and again. Especially when Sherry reenters the picture and Dwight finds himself returning to a version of the man he was back in Season 7.
* GroinAttack: [[CombatPragmatist Eugene]] bites his crotch so that Abraham, Daryl, and Rosita can take out the rest of his group.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Much like his comic counterpart, he switches in between acting good and evil depending on how he views his situation. True to form, he has a habit of being portrayed as a sympathetic PunchClockVillain reluctantly working for his abusive leader or a total HateSink who takes a little too much joy in laughing at the other people he torments. Ultimately, he comes to Alexandria to join the alliance against Negan, but naturally, the group is skeptical. "Mercy" confirms that he is indeed on Rick's side. In "How It's Gotta Be", his status as TheMole has been revealed to Laura, who escapes with this information. Dwight is allowed to join the main group at Alexandria. However, when Laura is revealed to have gone missing, Dwight returns to the Saviors to continue the charade until she resurfaces, now outed as being on AHK's side.
* HiddenDepths: He's a talented woodcarver. He also proves to be quite reliable, courageous, and savvy when he operates as a double agent for Rick in Season 8.
* IcyBlueEyes: The first time we see him up close, he's staring angrily at Daryl with cold blue eyes.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Averted, which is notable on this show. He aims at Daryl but shoots Denise instead, blaming it on the crossbow's kick, which only has any affect after the bolt has already been fired.
* InformedAttribute: He suffers from short-term memory loss according to Sherry, though this is never shown on-screen.
* InSeriesNickname: He frequently goes by "D."
* {{Jerkass}}: In the second half of Season 6 and much of Season 7, he's one of the nastier Saviors, developing an unhealthy hatred towards Daryl, shrugging off his murder of Denise, and tormenting Rosita both times they meet.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In his first appearance, he's this. He is abrasive and betrays Daryl in the end, but it is clear that he cares for his wife and sister-in-law. So much that he later becomes Negan's top lieutenant at the Sanctuary if it means keeping Sherry safe. Once she leaves, he quickly switches sides and offers to help Rick take down his former boss, showing that he is capable of being a good man again. In Season 8 he is completely on board with Rick's plans. In "How It's Gotta Be", he sincerely apologizes to Michonne as she watches Alexandria burn, and in "Dead or Alive Or", he apologizes to both Daryl and Tara, and admits he only wanted to make things right.
* KickTheDog:
** He coldly brushes off [[ShrinkingViolet Denise's]] AccidentalMurder by admitting that he wanted to kill Daryl instead.
** He shoots Daryl in the shoulder for no other reason than pure spite.
** "The Cell" involves him doing this to Daryl repeatedly; however, the scene where he coldly shows Daryl a Polaroid of Glenn's remains and blames him for his friend's death stands out.
** He takes Rosita's hat and empties out her canteen for no other reason than to be a dick.
** He frames Dr. Carson for Daryl's escape to cover his own ass, which results in the man's brutal demise. This is after the doctor was one of the only Saviors to treat Dwight with any human decency.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Daryl, Rosita, Abraham, and Eugene overpower his ambush, Dwight wisely makes a break for it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He gets beaten and tossed into Daryl's cell by the Saviors after failing to prevent his prisoner's escape.
* LeanAndMean: He's very skinny and a bit harsh. Especially after he rejoins the Saviors.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: A recurring theme in Dwight's arc.
** After Tina died, Dwight and Sherry returned to the Sanctuary, asking for Negan's forgiveness. Negan was going to kill Dwight on the spot, before Sherry offered to become one of his wives in exchange for sparing Dwight's life. Negan accepted this and Dwight received "the iron" as punishment instead.
** Subverted in ''Fear'' Season 6. While Sherry and her new group are not evil, they're extremists who want to kill Virginia right away instead of going with Morgan's far more reasonable plan to wait until the time is right to strike. Dwight is so eager to live in peace with Sherry that he betrays his friends and sides with his wife, until Sherry, realizing he's becoming like his old self again, takes Dwight's gun and locks him up with Morgan and Althea. Dwight realizes his mistake and is able to talk Sherry down from opening fire on some of Virginia's men.
* MercyKill: Gives one of these to a defiant Savior named Gordon, although it's a bit of a subversion as he doesn't shoot him in the head and later brings his body back to the Sanctuary so that Gordon is trapped there even in death.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors after Negan's influence causes Sherry to leave him.
* TheMole: At the end of Season 7, he joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors as their "inside man". He is finally compromised when Laura sees him gun down several Saviors and manages to escape with this knowledge. A few episodes later, Dwight learns that Laura has gone missing and thus his defection is not known among the Saviors, so he takes the opportunity to return to the Saviors to continue as TheMole until the penultimate episode of the season, when she returns and he is outed by Negan himself.
* MookLieutenant: He becomes one after the TimeSkip in Season 6, getting a seat in the Savior's governing council and becoming Negan's top enforcer at the Sanctuary.
* MookPromotion: He started out as a mere worker, but after impressing Negan with his courage and toughness after getting his face ironed, he is elevated to a high position of authority.
* NervesOfSteel: You'd have to be in order to operate as a double-agent against the Saviors. He doesn't even panic when Negan finds out about his betrayal, and calmly accepts his fate as the Saviors' prisoner in the next two episodes. In fact, the only things that rattle Dwight are when Sherry's life is in danger and when he is begging Daryl to spare him at the end of the war.
* NumberTwo: By Season 7, Dwight has become this to Negan. While Simon still outranks him in the overall hierarchy, Dwight is Negan's top lieutenant at the Sanctuary.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction upon witnessing that Daryl has escaped and killed Fat Joey under ''his'' watch.
* PsychoticLoveTriangle: Finds himself competing for his wife against [[TheDreaded Negan.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: He greets Daryl with one on his face after they reunite and he has just killed Denise.
* PunchClockVillain: "The Cell" is all about acknowledging that he's only in with the Saviors because he's trying to keep himself and his wife alive and safe, but admits that BeingEvilSucks.
* PutOnABus: After the war ends, he is exiled by Daryl and leaves to find Sherry. As of Season 9, he is no longer part of the main cast.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: After spending most of Season 8 on a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge ruthless vengeance crusade]] against the Saviors, Daryl chooses to leave Dwight alive after he pulls a genuine HeelFaceTurn and Daryl finally sees how remorseful for his crimes he truly is.
* ReformedButRejected: Daryl and Tara are extremely reluctant to accept him as an ally, with Tara even going as far as to try to kill him. She comes around on him after he saves her life, while Daryl takes the entirety of the war and Negan's confirmation to fully believe that Dwight is on their side.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He, Sherry, and Tina pulled this with the Saviors prior to being introduced. He does this again when Daryl offers to take him back to Alexandria.
* ShootTheMedicFirst: Though it was a [[AccidentalMurder accident]], he kills Denise with a crossbow, making her the first official casualty against the Saviors and leaving Alexandria without a medic.
* SixthRanger: After his true allegiance to Rick is revealed, Dwight tags along with the Alexandria crew, having no choice but to join the group full-time. He ends up forced to head back to the Sanctuary with a group of Saviors to keep the Alexandrians from being discovered.
* TheStarscream: In "Something They Need", Dwight decides he's done following Negan and joins Rick's alliance to take down the Saviors for good. He takes it a step further in "The Key", when Simon confesses that he seeks to replace Negan as leader, and Dwight decides to go along with his coup, hoping that Simon's volatile nature and poor leadership skills will result in AHK having a better chance defeating him than Negan. He actually becomes TheStarscream to Simon's Starscream, when Negan has him help bring down Simon's mutiny.
* StockholmSyndrome: Quite disturbingly forms a bizarre loyalty towards Negan once he moves up in his inner circle, despite the fact that his leader belittles him and brags about owning his wife. He later admits it was only to provide Sherry with the most comfortable life possible in the Sanctuary, and that he's always hated Negan.
* ThouShaltNotKill: In his first appearance, he reveals that he's never killed another human being because he fears not being able to come back from it. He seems to have gotten over this in his first appearance after the TimeSkip, where he makes his reintroduction by killing Denise and then brushes it off as no big deal.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Starting with his second appearance, he becomes much colder as a result of everything he's been through since re-joining the Saviors.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his HeelFaceTurn he sincerely apologizes to all those he has wronged and goes along with Rick's plans without any objections.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Or favorite ''snack'': beer and pretzels.
* TwoFaced: Half of his face is scarred when he shows up again, as punishment for theft and defecting.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He badly underestimates Daryl and Eugene when he has them both hostage.
* UngratefulBastard: After Daryl saves his life and offers to take him and Sherry back to Alexandria, Dwight still pulls a gun on him, stealing his motorcycle and crossbow. Later, he tries to kill Daryl with said crossbow but misses, killing Denise instead. Then, in "East", he shoots Daryl in the shoulder. Finally, in "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," he asks permission to execute Daryl on the spot after he strikes Negan, but he is denied. He also arranges for Dr. Carson's death by planting false evidence in his belongings, after Carson showed nothing but kindness to him.
* VillainsOutShopping: Dwight's slice of life montage back at the Sanctuary shows him and Laura playing ping-pong with shots and Dwight trying to rub together enough points to scrounge himself up a sandwich he wants to eat.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without revealing his HeelFaceRevolvingDoor in Seasons 6 and 7.

A Savior who defected with her husband Dwight and sister Tina, but returned to the fold and became one of Negan's wives. Eventually realizing their survival was not worth the life of torture under Negan's rule, she fled the Sanctuary and implored Dwight to do the same. To honor his wife's wishes, Dwight defected to AHK and played a part in the defeat of Negan. Dwight was exiled and ordered by Daryl to find her, a quest he continued all the way to Texas.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: First appears long before her comic counterpart did.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Comic!Sherry was a BitchInSheepsClothing. Here, she volunteers to be Negan's wife to save her husband's life, rather than ditching him to lead a more 'comfortable' lifestyle, and is one of the sweetest and most mature people at The Sanctuary. In ''Fear'', she becomes more antagonistic, moving her closer to her comic counterpart, though her motivations are more sympathetic and she never does anything outright villainous.

* TheDarkChick: She's this to Negan.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Is absolutely terrified of Negan and what he does to his prisoners.
* FanservicePack: In "Always Accountable," she is sweaty and unwashed. When she reappears in Season 7, she has makeup, jewelry, and a dress.

* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Lights up a few cigarettes with her ex-husband Dwight to deal with the stress of living under the Saviors.
* HeroicSacrifice: Agreed to become one of Negan's wives to save her husband's life.
* InSeriesNickname: Dwight calls her "Honey".
* MoralityPet: She is the only Savior Daryl ever regards with some degree of kindness and respect due to her sincere regret for her actions and helping him escape from the Sanctuary.
* NiceGirl: Seems to be a kind person, and genuinely apologizes to Daryl when stealing his supplies. Later, she releases him from captivity, as he had been psychologically and physically tortured and put in forced labor. She's no longer this as of her return in ''Fear''.
* NonActionGuy: "The Cell" shows that she stays in the Sanctuary and never fights in combat. This is [[TookALevelInBadass no longer the case]] when she returns in ''Fear''.
* PetTheDog: She's pretty much the only person who's kind to Daryl while he's being tortured. It's also revealed that she was the one who helped him escape.
* PsychoticLoveTriangle: She finds herself being trapped between her forced marriage to [[PsychopathicManchild Negan]] and her former husband [[SanitySlippage Dwight]].
* PutOnABus: Abandons the Saviors again and goes out on her own upon realizing that returning was an even worse choice. She remains missing all the way to the end of the Savior War, and Daryl assigns Dwight to find her as he exiles him from the AHK territories.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: She and Dwight start off as a married couple, then she's forced to marry Negan to save his life. Then she leaves Negan and Dwight because she's fed up with both of them. Then Dwight finds her again and they get back together. Then they're unable to find common ground and separate again. Finally, they decide to put the past behind them for good and start over.
* RedOni: The more belligerent, stubborn, and impulsive Red to her husband's Blue.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her plan to kill Virginia knowingly puts Dwight and Morgan's friends at risk and could potentially spell out disaster for her own group. She also refuses to listen to Morgan's sensible pleas to put off an attack until he can build up a full-fledged settlement and a proper militia to strike back against the Pioneers. Then, it's revealed Sherry doesn't actually have a personal vendetta against Virginia at all -- rather, she's projecting her guilt about not killing Negan onto Virginia, thus making her insistence on going through with the assassination as soon as possible even ''more'' reckless and ill-advised.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: What she, Dwight, and Tina try to do with the Saviors, though they eventually decide to go back in the end. She eventually abandons the Saviors for real this time after it becomes too much for her to handle and she breaks up with Dwight upon realizing that he's not the same man she fell in love with.
* ShadowArchetype: To Lori. She's just a former housewife who wants to be safe with her husband and stay away from combating zombies and humans, but finds herself unable to live her old life and remains out of the horrors of the apocalypse by staying on the sidelines. She's also trapped in a love triangle between her husband and the BigBad exactly like Lori was.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When she and Dwight reunite they've both become much different people since they last saw each other. The benefit of actually ''seeing'' Negan taken down and the knowledge that he helped do so have healed most of Dwight's wounds; meanwhile, Sherry is still reeling from the trauma she experienced during her stint as Negan's mistress and the shame of not killing the Savior leader when she had the chance. After a little over a week together, they find themselves unable to reconcile their differences and separate again.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's pretty much the only kind person among the Saviors who isn't praising Negan as a noble hero.
* TookALevelInBadass: She takes an active leadership role when she joins the Outcasts, and intends on being the one to assassinate Virginia herself.
* TookALevelInCynic: Being one of Negan's wives and witnessing so much evil happen under the rule of a tyrannical dictator left her with a pretty bleak outlook on life as well as a more ruthless, pragmatic mindset. Even after reconciling with Dwight, she doesn't change her stance that "the bad guys always win", and in general seems pretty dour.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She's a lot more bitter, callous, and hot-headed when she returns in ''Fear''.
* TrappedInVillainy: She doesn't want to go along with the evils of the Saviors, but has no choice in the matter anymore.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Admits that seeing Morgan almost decapitate Virginia didn't give her the satisfaction she wanted.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Unlike certain other Saviors she's not evil, but reluctantly finds herself going along with Negan's brutality.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her without spoiling her return in Season 6 of ''Fear''.
* WhatTheHellHero: Finally calls out Dwight in "Sing Me a Song" for becoming a supporter for Negan and brushing off his immoral acts under the rug. Taken to its logical conclusion when she departs from the Saviors after helping Daryl escape.
* WrongNameOutburst: When Sherry is trying to explain to Dwight why she's so dead-set on killing Virginia, she tells him that they "can't just let '''him''' keep doing this..." This makes Dwight realize it isn't Virginia she's angry at, but ''Negan''.
