Both are young members of heavily-armed, hostile, DisasterScavengers groups who lost their mother and brothers at the start of the ZombieApocalypse, who are both taken prisoner by Rick's group. While both men were imprisoned while their groups were in the midst of conflict with Rick's group, Alden voluntarily surrendered to the members of the Hilltop Colony during their raid on his outpost, whereas Randall was pretty much shanghied back to the Greene farm after he impaled his leg on a fence pike. Alden eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn and fully integrates himself into the Hilltop Colony, when Randall never really got the chance to really prove himself if he was worthy to stay on the Greene farm and at one point, tried to manipulate Carl to set him free while offering him to take him back to his camp.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Don't pretend you don't know the score."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Austin Amelio
-->''"Everything's his, or will be."''
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.
----
* AccidentalMurder: Accidentally shoots Denise with his crossbow when he was initially aiming for Daryl.
* 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.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In his first appearance, he clearly desires to be good and not evil. 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.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart has brown hair. Here, he is blonde.
* AdaptationExpansion: The show delves into his backstory before his appearance in the comic.
* AdaptationalVillainy: He is more petty and vindictive than in the comics upon being reintroduced.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Cell" focuses mainly on his character and how he came to work for Negan again. He also gets plenty of focus in "Hostiles and Calamities", which deals with the repercussions of Sherry leaving him.
* 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.
* BeardOfEvil: Grows a sparse one between appearances.
* 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, unlike the {{sadist}}ic joy most of the 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. Negan burning his face partly contributed to this.
* 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.
* TheBusCameBack: After his debut appearance in "Always Accountable," he makes his return eight episodes later in "Twice as Far."
* CruelToBeKind: Despite their antipathy, Dwight keeps trying to convince Daryl to submit to Negan's will, viewing it as the least painful option. Dwight tries very hard to break him to this end, and 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.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Remains a prominent character in the comic books even after the Savior War. Here, he gets PutOnABus immediately after the war.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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 midseason 8 finale.
* TheExile: After the war, Daryl tell him to leave, find Sherry, and never come back again, or he will kill him.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: After the end of the war, Dwight willingly goes into the secluded woods with Daryl, knowing he's about to die for his atrocities. Dwight openly admits he deserves it, kneels before Daryl, expresses gratitude that he got to witness the fall of Negan, and profusely apologizes to Daryl one last time. Daryl ends up sparing his life, but orders him to run away and never return.
* FaceHeelTurn: Has become a cruel and murderous member of the Saviors by the time he returns.
* FacialHorror: [[AdaptationalAttractiveness Surprisingly Downplayed]]. His scars are a lot less noticeable than his comic book counterpart's.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Has this demeanor after he kills Denise and later when talking to Rosita.
* 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.
* 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.
* InSeriesNickname: He frequently goes by "D."
* {{Jerkass}}: From his return in "Twice as Far" 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: Coldly brushes off [[ShrinkingViolet Denise's]] AccidentalMurder by admitting that he wanted to kill Daryl instead. He also shoots Daryl in the shoulder out of spite when they meet up again. "The Cell" involves him doing this to Daryl repeatedly, but the scene where he coldly shows Daryl a Polaroid of Glenn's remains stands out. He also frames Doctor Carson for Daryl's escape to cover his own ass, which results in the man's brutal demise. This was 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 he failed to prevent his escape.
* LeanAndMean: He's very skinny and a bit harsh. Especially after he rejoins the Saviors.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: 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.
* 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: Joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors after Negan's influence over him caused his wife to leave him.
* TheMole: In the Season 7 finale, he joins Rick's coalition against the Saviors as their "inside man." He is finally compromised in "How It's Gotta Be", when Laura sees him gun down several Saviors and manages to get away. However, a few episodes later, he finds out 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.
* NotSoDifferent: He's really not that different from the members of Rick's group. Had his situation been more fortunate it's very easy to see him as one of Rick's most trusted allies.
* 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: Greets with one on his face when he and Daryl meet again.
* 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, he is exiled by Daryl and leaves to find Sherry. As of Season 9, he is no longer part of the main cast.
* SixthRanger: After his true allegiance to Rick is revealed, Dwight becomes this, having no choice but to join the group full-time. In "Dead or Alive Or", he ends up being forced to head back to the Sanctuary with a group of Saviors to keep the Alexandrians from being discovered.
* 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.
* TheStarscream: He decides that he's done with following Negan and seeks to join Rick's alliance against him 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 that it was 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 brushing it off as no big deal.
* TookALevelInJerkass: When he returns in "Twice As Far" he has become much colder as a result of Negan ironing his face and taking his wife.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his HeelFaceTurn he sincerely apologizes to Daryl, Tara and Michonne for everything he has done and goes along with most of their plans without any objections.
* 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. Later, in "East", he shoots Daryl in the shoulder. 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.
----
* 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.
* AdaptationalHeroism: 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.
* 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.
* BeingEvilSucks: Fully acknowledges that living under the Saviors is not a fun experience.

* CoolBigSis: Towards her younger sister Tina.

* 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.

* 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.

* NonActionGuy: "The Cell" shows that she stays in the Sanctuary and never fights in combat.
* 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 [[PsychoticManchild 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.
* 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.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's pretty much the only kind person among the Saviors who isn't praising Negan as a noble hero.
* TrappedInVillainy: She doesn't want to go along with the evils of the Saviors, but has no chose in the matter anymore.
* VillainyFreeVillain: She's not evil like most of the Saviors, but reluctantly finds herself going along with Negan's brutality.
* 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.

* 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: Greets with one on his face when he and Daryl meet again.
* 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, he is exiled by Daryl and leaves to find Sherry. As of Season 9, he is no longer part of the main cast.
* SixthRanger: After his true allegiance to Rick is revealed, Dwight becomes this, having no choice but to join the group full-time. In "Dead or Alive Or", he ends up being forced to head back to the Sanctuary with a group of Saviors to keep the Alexandrians from being discovered.
* 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.
* TheStarscream: He decides that he's done with following Negan and seeks to join Rick's alliance against him 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 that it was 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 brushing it off as no big deal.
* TookALevelInJerkass: When he returns in "Twice As Far" he has become much colder as a result of Negan ironing his face and taking his wife.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his HeelFaceTurn he sincerely apologizes to Daryl, Tara and Michonne for everything he has done and goes along with most of their plans without any objections.
* 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. Later, in "East", he shoots Daryl in the shoulder. 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.

!!Sherry
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/season_seven_sherry1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Your rules are batshit!"'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ChristineEvangelista
-->''"Whatever he's done to you, there's always more."''
A Savior who defected with her husband Dwight and sister Tina, but returned to the fold and became one of Negan's wives.
----
* 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.
* AdaptationalHeroism: 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.
* 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.
* 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."
* 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's one of Negan's many wives now.
* 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.
* 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.
* NonActionGuy: "The Cell" shows that she stays in the Sanctuary and never fights in combat.
* 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 [[PsychoticManchild 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.
* 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.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's pretty much the only kind person among the Saviors who isn't praising Negan as a noble hero.
* TrappedInVillainy: She doesn't want to go along with the evils of the Saviors, but has no chose in the matter anymore.
* VillainyFreeVillain: She's not evil like most of the Saviors, but reluctantly finds herself going along with Negan's brutality.
* 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.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Living sounds good to me.."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Callan [=McAuliffe=]
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.
----
* 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.
* 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.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He accepts Jesus' offer for mercy and be made a prisoner in order to survive and avoid the slaughter of his fellow Saviors.
* 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.
* 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: [[spoiler:He gets together with Enid during the second TimeSkip in Season 9.]]
* 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.
* UndyingLoyalty: His loyalty to the AHK remains steadfast and firm despite the hatred he's received 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.

!!Laura
[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laura_wd.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Lindsley Register
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.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far less butch than her comic appearance.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She first appears a full two years in the timeline before her comic counterpart.
* TheCameo: Her first appearance, playing air hockey with Dwight in "The Cell," last for all of five seconds.
* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: 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?
* DarkActionGirl: She is a Savior footsoldier and takes part in the second visit to Alexandria.
* 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.
* 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, [[spoiler:and by "Who Are You Now?" has become a completely trusted member of Alexandria.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Come the timeskip, 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.]]
* KickTheDog: She wouldn't be a Savior if she didn't indulge in this. 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.
* 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.
* 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. However, it's all just to encourage Eugene to join them, and once he becomes a regular Savior, her old demeanor towards him returns.
* 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." Earlier, when Aaron is being beaten to a pulp by Gary, and Rick tries to stop it, Laura pulls a gun on him, smirking and rubbing it in that he can't do anything about it. She's also delighted as hell to publicly out Dwight as a turncoat and grins right in his face.
* TattooedCrook: She has a big-ass tattoo on the neck and is part of one of Negan's collection/extortion parties.
* 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 Season 8B, having never reunited with the main Savior group following the retaliatory strikes on AHK. This allows Dwight to return to the Saviors, since she was 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 defection to the Saviors in "Worth".

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.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With another Savior named Norris until [[spoiler:Norris' death]]. The two search for Carl together after the bombing of Alexandria, bring Dean's coffin to Negan, help massacre the Scavengers and put down Simon's rebellion. [[spoiler:After the war, the two still appear together and are among the most vocal about the disappearing Saviors.]]
* 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. [[spoiler:Post-TimeSkip, he shows the same loyalty to Michonne.]] According to Matt Mangum, his loyalty to Negan and the Saviors is only a sense of survival.

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.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far less butch than her comic appearance.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She first appears a full two years in the timeline before her comic counterpart.
* TheCameo: Her first appearance, playing air hockey with Dwight in "The Cell," last for all of five seconds.
* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: 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?
* DarkActionGirl: She is a Savior footsoldier and takes part in the second visit to Alexandria.
* 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.
* 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, [[spoiler:and by "Who Are You Now?" has become a completely trusted member of Alexandria.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Come the timeskip, 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.]]
* KickTheDog: She wouldn't be a Savior if she didn't indulge in this. 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.
* 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.
* 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. However, it's all just to encourage Eugene to join them, and once he becomes a regular Savior, her old demeanor towards him returns.
* 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." Earlier, when Aaron is being beaten to a pulp by Gary, and Rick tries to stop it, Laura pulls a gun on him, smirking and rubbing it in that he can't do anything about it. She's also delighted as hell to publicly out Dwight as a turncoat and grins right in his face.
* TattooedCrook: She has a big-ass tattoo on the neck and is part of one of Negan's collection/extortion parties.
* 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 Season 8B, having never reunited with the main Savior group following the retaliatory strikes on AHK. This allows Dwight to return to the Saviors, since she was 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 defection to the Saviors in "Worth".

[[folder: D.J.]]
!!D.J.
->'''Portrayed by:''' Matt Mangum
One of the guards of the Sanctuary. He joins Alexandria with Laura and becomes one of Michonne's trusted guards.
----
* BeardOfEvil: Sports one as a Savior. Its much less pronounced after his turn.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts as a Savior, but favors peace after the war [[spoiler:- 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.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With another Savior named Norris until [[spoiler:Norris' death]]. The two search for Carl together after the bombing of Alexandria, bring Dean's coffin to Negan, help massacre the Scavengers and put down Simon's rebellion. [[spoiler:After the war, the two still appear together and are among the most vocal about the disappearing Saviors.]]
* 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. [[spoiler:Post-TimeSkip, he shows the same loyalty to Michonne.]] According to Matt Mangum, his loyalty to Negan and the Saviors is only a sense of survival. But to [[spoiler:Michonne]], he does have genuine respect for her.
