10 Most Brutal Characters In The Walking Dead

10. Jocelyn

A very sadistic one-time villain of the show, and an old friend of Michonne's, Jocelyn kidnapped children and trained them to be scavengers and killers in order to protect her.

A very manipulative and cunning leader of the group of children she acquired, she believed that because she was teaching the children to be merciless, she made them strong, and apparently that justified the extreme behaviour. It was this manipulative nature that gained her access to Alexandria, and she kidnapped the kids there, including Judith Grimes.

Jocelyn also managed to capture Michonne and Daryl, and instructed the kids to torture them by branding them like cattle. The children also slashed at Michonne's stomach while she was pregnant with RJ.

A truly expert performance by Rutina Wesley, she is taken eventually taken out by Michonne. This conflict was so rich it could have occurred over a few episodes, but as the event happened during the time-skip, it wasn't to be. Nonetheless, Jocelyn was a cunning and sinister presence in the Walking Dead's darkest episode.
