The Walking Dead: 8 Characters Who Died Too Soon

Owen - or the Alpha Wolf, as you may know him - slithered onto the scene at the tail end of the fifth season, crossing paths with Morgan, who turned the tables on him and his cohort and got away. Of course, it wasn't long before he resurfaced, as he and the other Wolves attacked Alexandria.

After the attack ultimately failed, Owen was held prisoner by Morgan, who believed that the Wolf's life had value and that he could reform despite his psychosis, which only led to conflict with Carol. When the massive herd overran Alexandria, Owen was able to escape confinement with Denise as a prisoner, but after being presented with a choice to save her or get away, he chose the former, saving her life at the cost of being bitten himself.

Afterwards, Denise was willing to help him amputate his infected arm, but on the way to do so, Carol shot him, bringing an end to the perfectly creepy character. Considering that Morgan had been right all along that he could change, it was tragic to see such an engaging character get killed off, as he tended to steal every scene he was in, and it would've been fascinating to see how his reform - and the group at large's reactions to and acceptance of him under Morgan's guidance - from villain to "good guy" played out.
