The Walking Dead Season 7: 8 Characters Who Will (Probably) Die Before The End

5. Eugene

Eugene is another character who has long felt destined for death, just because he doesn't - on the face of it - have what it takes to get by in this world. He's typically a craven figure, but within that is a real survival instinct: he may not fight or kill, but he's damn good at lying through his teeth in order to get by wit the protection of stronger people.

Since being taken prisoner by Negan, that's what he's managed to do, using his smarts, instinct to live, and seemingly lack of loyalty to anyone in order to make himself a surprisingly valuable member of the Saviours.

While he's latched on to the protection offered by Negan's power, it still seems unlikely that it'll be enough to save him in the end. If he has truly gone over to the dark side, then someone from the 'good' guys will end up needing to kill him. On the other hand, there's just as good a chance Negan will kill him himself, showing he's seen right through him, and doing so to try and send a message to Rick and co.
