In the present-day, Negan speaks to the memory of his late wife while holding the newly rediscovered Lucille bat in front of a roaring fire in Leah’s cabin. “I’m sorry that I left you,” he says, before joking: “I hope you found someone in the afterlife and you are screwing your brains out.” Saying that he misses her and that he “loved the shit out of you”, he adds: “I am going to do your fighting for you.” He then burns Lucille the bat – has Negan turned a corner?

And so, here we are: one final pit stop before the final ever season of The Walking Dead. These six bridge episodes have laid the groundwork for the forthcoming 11th chapter of the long-running zombie series with a fairly decent mix of bonus stories. We’ve seen the re-introduction of Maggie, learned of Daryl’s previously untold dalliance with Leah and got up-close-and-personal with the suspect soldiers of the Commonwealth. To cap it all off, season 10C concludes with a Negan-centric instalment that explores his mysterious pre-Saviors days. Here’s what went down… Follow our step by step guide to get the Negan outfit style from the Walking Dead. Negan is a firm fan favourite and his style makes for an excellent Halloween or cosplay costume. Also, each of the three major antagonists has a different status: Negan is alive, The Governor is dead, and Alpha is undead.Who knew you could laugh with and kind of like someone who you know is about to bash in the brains of one or more of your favorite characters? TV Negan is also the first main antagonist to kill more than one main character in one episode (Abraham Ford and Glenn Rhee). Negan visits Sasha, a captive, and discovers one of his Saviors, David, attempting to rape her. He states that rape is against their rules and will not tolerate such behavior. David apologizes, but Negan rams a knife through his throat, stating he does not accept his apology. He then leaves Sasha with a choice: kill herself or kill David once he reanimates to show her willingness to work with him. Negan joins Maggie to reclaim her village from the Reapers, sensing her intention to kill him. When they get separated from the group, they reluctantly work together and eventually unite with Gabriel and Elijah. Negan agrees to train Maggie as a Whisperer in exchange for her giving up revenge.

In "Hostiles and Calamities," Negan greets Eugene entering the Sanctuary and allows him to get comfortable within it. He suspects Sherry of freeing Daryl and has his minion Dwight beaten and thrown in a cell. He sends Dwight after Sherry, only to find evidence of Dr. Carson aiding in Daryl's escape. When the zombie apocalypse began, hospital workers told Negan to leave with them, but he refused to leave his dying wife's side. Unfortunately, Lucille passed away when the power went out, which stopped her life-support machine. Moments later, she turned into a zombie. Negan ran from the hospital and encountered a boy in trouble with zombies. He helped the boy by using a fire extinguisher to fight off the zombies. In return, Negan asked the boy to kill his reanimated wife, Lucille. He is the first major antagonist in The Walking Dead to later become a anti-hero and redeem themselves.

According to Jesus, Negan has been quoted as saying that they need to understand things “right off the bat.” I’m certain the pun was intended,knowing that Negan’s weapon of choice is his brutal baseball swatter Lucille. In the comics, Negan's right-hand man is Dwight but the Savior that appeared in Issue 97 and 100 came close as well. In the TV Series, Negan's right hand man is Simon and the initially shared a very strong relationship. Simon is the second in command of the Saviors. The differences is that while Dwight wants to overthrow Negan as revenge, Simon wants to betray Negan out of disagreement with Negan's ideology and for the Saviors' means of survival, seeing that it would be more effective to destroy the Militia completely and find other communities to extort and potentially raid. In the post-apocalyptic world, Negan becomes the ruthless leader of a group called the Saviors. He wields a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, which he names "Lucille" in memory of his wife. Negan's community gathers followers and establishes outposts around Washington, D.C. He has key allies like Simon and various lieutenants, including Wade, Bud, Gavin, Arat, and Dwight. Negan's group extorts supplies from communities like the Hilltop and the Kingdom, using brutal violence to enforce their demands. He also had a conflicted relationship with a former ally known as the Croat, who became a brutal torturer and formed his own group.
