The Walking Dead: 10 Worst Things Negan Has Ever Done

As the leader of the Saviors, Negan had some pretty harsh rules put in place to make sure people stayed in line and respected him. One such rule dictates that if someone in the Sanctuary betrays him or attempts to flee, he applies a red hot iron to the side of their face in punishment for their insubordination.

Even crueller than that, he often elects to do it in front of his many followers and the residents of the Sanctuary, to remind everyone of what's at stake should they insult his authority.

Though you don't actually see the burning on screen, Dwight (Austin Amelio) is a clear example of what happens if you break the rules. Dwight first appears in season six, where he crosses paths with Daryl whilst trying to escape from some of Negan's men. Eventually, Dwight ended up back at the Sanctuary, and because he tried to escape Negan burns his face, permanently scarring him.
