7 Most Hated Characters In The Walking Dead

6. Allen

A character introduced in season three, Allen didn€™t have as much screen time as any of the others on this list, but boy did he make up for it when he did appear. Arriving at the prison with Tyreese and Sasha, Allen is initially sympathetic €“ his wife was bitten shortly before they got there, and audiences saw both he and his seventeen-year-old son Ben having to deal with her death and with having to see her corpse brained to prevent reanimation. And then, post-bereavement, Allen reverted to type€ a back-stabbing, weaselly, desperate little man. First he attempted to conspire with Tyreese to take the prison from Rick€™s little crew of survivors, only backing down when it€™s clear that he€™s on his own. Upon being forced to leave the prison, Allen, Ben, Tyreese and Sasha are taken in at Woodbury nearby, and fall in with the Governor. Allen is pathetically craven in his fawning attention to his new master, immediately volunteering to help in any way he can, including killing anyone the Governor felt necessary. Clashing over and over again with Tyreese, who would prefer to make his own moral decisions, Allen is up for whatever horrors the Governor suggests, including using walkers to kill the prison survivors, and later participates in the abortive ambush that sees his own son killed in the crossfire. We finally see Allen as the only one who escapes the Governor€™s murderous rampage, hiding when the one-eyed psychotic opens fire upon his own people. Even then, having the drop on the man, Allen isn€™t up to the task, the Governor shooting him in the head. Allen is the perfect example in The Walking Dead of a verminous follower, a man who will stoop to any depths to survive. It€™s oddly fitting that it€™s his own poorly-chosen actions that result in, first his son€™s death, and then his own.
