Caesar Martinez
Usually, Caesar and Shupert are seen together and seem to be friends due to his nickname, "Shup", given to him and said only by Martinez in "Prey".

Crowley- Was seen with Crowley many times earily on in season 3, and was called "Bowmen"by him as well not "Shupert".

Trivia

 * It is assumed that "Bowman" is a nickname used by the writing staff, and that is why that name was on the sheet of paper.
 * In "The Suicide King", "Home", "I Ain't a Judas", and "Prey" he is credited as "Bowman".
 * It is possible that "Bowman" is his last name, or just a nickname because his signature weapon is a bow and arrow.
 * In "Prey" he was reffered to as "Shupert" by Caesar.
 * Shupert is one the characters that did not speak in the episode he was introduced, the others being Jim, Jimmy, Beth, Michonne, Eileen, Big Tiny, Tomas, Andrew, Oscar and Warren.
