Eastman was one of the best characters in the show. He had it all, an incredible backstory, a likeable personality and even a pet goat. It's just a shame he only lasted one episode.
He appears in season six during an explanation episode about Morgan's new approach to life. The man with the stick, he had such a positive effect on Morgan as he rescued him from a path of self-destruction.
A kind hearted soul, Eastman would bury walkers after killing them. Often searching their belongings to provide a name on the headstone. His outlook on life was a breath of fresh air, in a dark and gloomy world. It wasn't always so positive and one of his best features was his backstory.
Before the outbreak he was a prison psychiatrist, that dealt with an abundance of patients. Though, he only deemed one truly evil, Crighton Wilton. He was a man that Eastman denied release and paid for it handsomely. The convict escaped prison afterwards and massacred Eastman's family, handing himself in afterwards and admitting that he just wanted to ruin his life.
The former psychiatrist exacted revenge but it brought him no satisfaction. From there he began his journey as a peace loving, aikido warrior.
Everything about Eastman oozed class. He was someone that had turned their life around, even after a zombie takeover of the world. It made his death irritating, as you could see the great character he would have become.
