He got away.
―This man to the Croat.[src]

This Buraz is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: Dead City. He is a member of the Burazi, serving as a bodyguard for the Croat.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about this man's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he may have been a student in middle school.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Manhattan, New York[]

At some point in the apocalypse, this man somehow came into contact with "the Croat" and his group named "the Burazi", which he subsequently joined. Upon joining the Burazi, this man, like most of the members, was given or modified his own biker helmet covered in spikes and blades to headbutt walkers, as well as a sharpened street sign spear. Eventually, this man would be appointed as one of the Croat's personal bodyguards.

This man aided his group in the turf war against the remaining survivors of Lower Manhattan, raiding their camps and slaughtering innocent people. He and his group would also terrorize the communities around the area into subjugating to the Croat's will, where their victims would be forced to give half their supplies in exchange for not being murdered.

Season 1[]

"Old Acquaintances"[]

At an unknown location, this man notices the disappearance of a missing prisoner and quickly informs the Croat that he got away, interrupting the start of Hershel's torture.

Following the escapee out onto the rooftop, this man and another Buraz, armed with sharpened street sign spears, accompany the Croat. While the escaping prisoner frantically looks for a way out, the Croat tells him there's nowhere to go and that he wants to know more about his people. The prisoner disregards the Croat and spots a zipline on the roof, deciding to make a run for it. As this occurs, this man attempts to chase after him but is stopped abruptly by the Croat. The men look at the prisoner as he tries to escape across a zipline to another building: however, the Croat grabs a pair of pliers from a Buraz and cuts the zipline, sending the prisoner falling to his death.

The Croat runs to the rooftop edge to see the prisoner fall, joking about his death being a new record and looking back at his men to see their reactions. Shortly after, the Croat plainly states that the prisoner's death is a pity because he won't be able to get any information from him anymore.

"People Are a Resource"[]

In Madison Square Garden, this man and the Burazi proudly chant their motto alongside the Croat, who hypes the crowd from the arena stage. The Croat shouts that they are home, and in response, this man and the crowd enthusiastically cheer in return. Addressing the Burazi as a family, the Croat proceeds to deliver a speech, explaining that they gathered that night to celebrate their fallen brother, a Buraz that Negan had killed. However, the Croat informs them they need not mourn him, as death is no end but rather fuel for the Burazi and that people are a resource. The crowd cheers once more, some taking hits off the methane emitting from the corpse. As Perlie gets dragged up to the arena, the cheering from the crowd dies down, and the Croat forces Perlie to take a hit of methane before shoving him into the ring.

As Perlie stands disoriented and chained to a post in the ring, this man pushes in a zombified Buraz that the Croat had killed earlier, shutting the door behind him. Seeing Perlie fight the walker, this man cheers on with the crowd. However, when Perlie successfully beheads the zombified Buraz, the man and the crowd, disappointed, begin booing and throwing bottles into the ring. As a result, this enables Perlie to grab a broken bottle, utilizing it to cut open the Buraz's stomach, allowing him to find and use the handcuff key to free himself. Not wanting to disappoint the crowd, this man shoves in two more walkers into the ring with Perlie, who searches for a way out. Unable to find one, Perlie removes his right boot after hesitating over his left boot, and he uses it to bash in the walkers' faces, impressing the Croat and silencing the crowd.

"Everybody Wins a Prize"[]

Heading to the garage before the timer reaches 0, the Burazi rush in behind the Croat, excited about their trap about to go off for the tribespeople. As the Burazi climb into various vehicles, a Buraz in a cab asks the Croat if he's heading out with them. Knowing that Negan is in the stadium, the Croat tells that Buraz to go on without him and that he'll catch up with him later. Once the cab leaves, the Croat orders his two remaining men to stay behind.

Once the rest of the Burazi have cleared out, this man and another Buraz are ordered by the Croat to find Negan. While this man is searching the garage, the Croat grabs one of the tribespeople's modified nail guns. Negan takes the opportunity to run which is noticed by the Croat and excitedly chases after him. Following the Croat up a stairwell, this man stands behind him as the Croat calls out for Negan. Seeing Negan go further up the stairwell, this man follows after him with the Croat. Continuing their chase after Negan, the Croat spots him entering another stairwell. Seeing as how there's nowhere to go for Negan, the Croat commands this man and the other Buraz to retrieve Perlie.

On a catwalk over the stadium, Negan asks to see their captive, thinking that the Croat has Hershel. However, once the Croat commands his two men to bring the captive, they return with Perlie Armstrong instead. The Croat believes that Negan wants the marshal who has been pursuing him so doggedly, but Negan clarifies that he actually wants Hershel. The Croat already knows because Perlie told him, and he asks what Maggie has promised Negan to get him to help her. Negan simply reiterates his demand for Hershel, but the Croat tells him that it will be difficult and require a conversation and asks Negan to come to him to talk, but Negan just stands his ground instead. Understanding that Negan doesn't trust him, the Croat decides to make a gesture to show him that he only comes in the spirit of friendship and brotherly love. On the Croat's signal, this man and the other Buraz fling Perlie off of the catwalk, but he manages to grab onto the one that Negan is standing on. Much to the Croat's shock, Negan begins pulling Perlie up instead of letting him die. The Croat sends his two men after Negan and Perlie and he shoots the marshal in the leg with his weapon and tries to pull him up with it, but Perlie manages to rip the hook out of his flesh. Pulling Perlie up, Negan flees with the marshal as the Croat watches on in shock that Negan would save the other man's life rather than kill him.

Failing to reach Negan and Perlie in time, this man and the other Buraz eventually leave the stadium in an ambulance.

"Doma Smo"[]

As the Croat and Negan walk through the auditorium of the King Francis Theater, the Buraz and the other Burazi are all asleep on the stage and in the seats.
