The Saviors' charismatic and vicious leader is Negan. In a terrifying scenario, he demonstrates his ruthless authority by killing a favorite character with Lucille, his bat coated in barbed wire. Negan is a compelling opponent who tests the ethics and leadership of the survivors and deepens the post-apocalyptic story because of his erratic behavior and nuanced morality. His unpredictability and willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain control add a layer of tension and complexity to the narrative.
