Personality
"A physically imposing, charismatic, brutal, smart, ferocious, frightening, hilarious, inappropriate, oddly friendly, fun loving sociopath that is both a leader of men and a killer of men. He has both a practical and emotional intelligence, he's a brilliant strategist, he's pure, dangerous, murderous, often gleeful, that still has both discipline and a code. And he has a temper that can vaporize people. He's truly one of the strongest personalities ever."

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about his life before or as the outbreak began. He may have lived somewhere in Virginia.

Trivia

 * The casting call for this character was Orin.
 * On November 10, 2015, his character was officially revealed as Negan and his character was first mentioned in "Start to Finish" as a teaser to his impending appearance.
 * Negan will first join the series as a guest star before being promoted to series regular for season seven.
 * Upon describing the character, Kirkman stated: 'Negan is kind of an atomic bomb that's going to be dropped onto the show and the show will probably never be the same after that'.
 * Upon discussing Negan's foul mouthed nature, Jeffery Dean Morgan stated 'We're going to push AMC - the plan is to push them as far as they can because it's who Negan is. He uses some colorful language. And I use some colorful language. And reading the comic, it's important. So we'll see where that lands. It's our intention that this character is going to leap off the pages of the comic book. It's very important that that's who it is. Some of the characters there's much more leeway, but Negan is a guy that you want to keep as true as possible, and that would be how I want to play him as well'.
 * According to Robert Kirkman, 'When it comes to the Saviors, and Negan in particular the way I've always thought about this in the comics is this is a group that's led by a guy who's had his morality dial a few clicks away from Rick toward the darker aspects of his personality, but is still an intellectual and capable leader who's kept his group alive against all odds just as long as Rick has. It's really the best encountering the best.
