10 Most Brutal Characters In The Walking Dead
5. Alpha
As the leader of the Whisperers, and easily the creepiest character on the list, she was responsible for the most shocking moment in the series.
Through a flashback scene, it is revealed that she was always unhinged, and how she manipulates the giant Beta into following her is downright disturbing. But what's worse is her treatment of her daughter, Lydia, raising her to walk with her Whisperer allies, teaching her how to live on worms and other unsightly means. Definitely not what you'd consider a motherly figure.
Alpha orchestrated the pike death, in which 3 main characters (Tara, Enid, and Henry) met their demise, and also caused Siddiq to suffer from PTSD. She developed an intense rivalry with Carol, and even after her death at the hands of Negan, continued to torment her psyche, quoting and mocking her for losing every child she was attached to.
She also managed to up her brutality factor by decapitating one of her followers who challenged her, by pulling wire through her neck.
