10 Most Brutal Characters In The Walking Dead

The second-in-command to Alpha and her chief enforcer, the giant among men had no redeeming qualities whatsoever (except his singing talent). He unleashed the largest herd ever dealt with onto the core group, and mercilessly killed his own followers.

After becoming a devout follower of Alpha, Beta was the real intimidating force among the Whisperers, and helped ensure that Alpha was never questioned at all.

After her death, however, things only got worse. He discovered Alpha's head on a pike, reminiscent of her slaughter of the survivors, and when one of his fellow Whisperers refers to him as "Alpha", he pushes his face against his idol's zombified head, allowing her to bite him.

He also brutally killed Mary (Gamma), after she saves Alden. Another Whisperer sees his face without the mask, recognising him as country musician Half Moon, to which Beta responded to by immediately killing him.

After he donned Alpha's face as his new mask, he became the de-facto leader of the Whisperers, and actually began to hear his herd of walkers speak. Thankfully, he is killed by Daryl after Negan distracted him, with two knives straight into his eyes.
