Negan

Negan (pronounced KNEE-GAN) is one of the main antagonists from The Walking Dead comic book series and AMC's television series. He served as the main antagonist from Volume 17: Something to Fear to Volume 21: All Out War, Part 2. He later becomes a recurring antagonist, bordering an anti-hero, from Volume 22: A New Beginning to Volume 26: Call to Arms. He becomes an anti-hero from Volume 27: The Whisperer War and onward. He is also the titular main protagonist of his backstory, Here's Negan. Negan is the totalitarian and magisterial leader of The Saviors, a hostile group of outbreak survivors that are pitted against Rick Grimes' group. Although other villains exist throughout the series, Negan has been the biggest and most dangerous threat that Rick and his group have ever faced, even more so than both The Governor and Alpha. In the television series, he serves as the main antagonist of the show from the second half of Season 6 to the first half of Season 8 and later the central antagonist of the second half of Season 8 (before becoming the main antagonist once more for the finale). From Season 9 onwards, Negan becomes more of an anti-hero.
