Dev is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: World Beyond. He is a resident of the Perimeter and is the son of the community's leader, Indira.
Overview[]
Dev is a brave, selfless, proficient, and capable young man. When he and his sister, Asha, are first encountered they are seen doing a ceremony they do for empties in hopes that the person can finally move on in peace. Elton and Percy find the two in the woods and try to steal their food. After they almost are killed by walkers in the ground under years of dirt and grass, Dev and Asha save the two rather than get revenge on them robbing for them aside from some light revenge hazing as the siblings realize who Elton and Percy are. It's revealed that they knew who they were the whole time and Dev and Asha take the two to the Perimeter where Elton and Percy reunite with their friends.
As the son of Indira, Dev is a trusted member of the community. He is a valuable asset to the group, helping out any way he can. He helps Will plot a route to the CR facility so that Will can get back in. After Dev helps him, Will tells him how grateful he is for Dev and his family. Before Dev heads back, he decides to give Will his father's gun to help him on his mission. However, out of nowhere Dev is shot by the CRM. In the end, Dev died trying to help his mother by getting medical supplies for her illness, something that continuously haunts Indira afterwards as his mother blames herself for Dev putting himself into danger for her.

"Exit Wounds"[]
Asha and Dev put down empties in the woods. Asha places flowers in the eyes of one of the dead empties and Dev tells her "let's begin."
Elton approaches Asha and Dev, telling them that he comes in peace. As Dev holds Elton at knifepoint, Asha pats him down. Dev asks if Elton is alone and he admits that he has a traveling companion named Percy who's a good guy and hung back. With Elton coming up clean, Dev goes to look for Percy while Asha asks what Elton is doing out there and Elton explains that he was looking for his friends who were heading east looking for their father but instead might've run into trouble. Asha wonders if Elton and Percy intend to save their friends by themselves and Elton agrees that they will if they find them. They've been traveling for awhile now and came across Asha and Dev's camp and while avoiding people is the smart move, Elton and Percy haven't eaten in days. Elton starts to ramble a bit about having decided to ask for help out of hunger before Asha stops him. Dev rejoins them, having failed to find Percy and Asha tells her brother that Elton claims to just be looking for food.
Asha gives Elton a canteen and some food before introducing herself and Dev. As Elton starts to introduce himself, he gets distracted noticing Percy rummaging through Asha and Dev's wagon and stealing food from it. Noticing Percy too, Asha grabs her axe and Elton tries to defuse the situation as Asha realizes that they are a couple of conmen. Elton admits that technically, Percy was a conman and Percy runs off with Elton, chased by Asha and Dev, Asha flinging her axe at them and hitting a tree instead.
Elton and Percy flee through the woods and hide as a herd emerges. Percy tells Elton that they will wait for the herd to pass and then circle back to the horse. Watching as Asha and Dev fight the empties with their axe and spear respectively, Percy decides not to wait and runs off with Elton. As they run, Elton trips and falls. Looking around, Elton and Percy realize that the clearing is filled with empties buried in leaves and flowers with Elton laying on top of one. Elton backs away from one towards a tree stump while another one trips Percy. Elton inadvertently backs into an empty that is by the stump and while he and Percy struggle with the empties, Asha takes out one of the ones menacing Elton with her axe while Percy manages to stab the one that he's fighting in the head before it's pulled off of him by Dev. Asha kicks another empty to the ground and curb stomps it while Elton, after a struggle, manages to reach Asha's axe and put down the other empty menacing him. As Asha begins to help Elton up, a previously unseen empty emerges from the ground next to him and bites at Elton's left arm before Asha smashes its head in with a log.
Asha pins Elton down to have Dev amputate his arm, but Elton shows them that he is not bitten as his suit protected him. Taking an interest in the suit, Asha steals it for herself and she and Dev tie up Elton and Percy. Asha removes an empty's eyes and replaces them with flowers before she and Dev pray over the bodies.
With Asha riding Teresa, she and Dev transport Elton and Percy in the back of their wagon, ignoring Percy's questions about their destination. Percy wonders what Asha and Dev had been doing and Elton tells him off for trying to steal from the siblings. "The world's a shitshow. I told you, you either accept it or you die. That's just how it is," states Percy. As they start to pass toxic warning signs, Dev stops the wagon and covers Elton and Percy's heads with hoods as he and Asha don gas masks.
After reaching their home, the Perimeter, Asha cuts Elton and Percy loose, addressing them both by name, leaving Elton confused as he had never told Asha his name. Dev leads a confused Iris over and she hugs Elton and Percy, shocked and relieved to see the latter, having feared that Percy was dead. Iris explains that she and Felix had found Will and Felix and Will are currently out on patrol. Retrieving Silas' Wrench from the wagon, Dev explains that he and Asha had found it while looking for their missing horse - Teresa the same horse that Elton and Percy had found. Elton realizes that Asha and Dev had known who they were the entire time and Asha explains that their mom runs the Perimeter and Iris had told her how the Endlings got separated. Asha and Dev were originally just going to bring Elton and Percy to the Perimeter, but when Percy had tried to steal from them, the siblings had decided to have some fun. Annoyed, Percy tells Asha that she has a really screwed up way of having fun. Elton asks Iris about Hope, causing her to become somber.
Later, Brody berates Asha and Dev, stating that it was supposed to be a routine assignment to put up signs and they instead brought back two more strays. Dev explains that Elton and Percy had gotten split up from their friends and they had brought them together. Robin suggests that they get Indira since Elizabeth Kublek is looking for them. Agreeing, Brody states that they're putting the whole community in danger and reminds Asha and Dev of the agreement that the Perimeter has with the CRM. Asha angrily tells Brody that the CRM makes the Perimeter live in their shadow and play by their rules while the community was there first so "screw the agreement." Furious, Brody tells Asha that it's not for her to decide and he storms out. As Brody leaves, Asha notices Elton watching them through the window.
"Quatervois"[]
Indira is surprised to learn that the Endlings' plan is to turn themselves in. Iris clarifies that it's just her and Felix and Dev asks about Elton and Percy. Elton explains that they're not the CRM's priority and it's better if they stay on the outside, although Percy is less than happy about it. Felix states that they are going to approach from the south so that it doesn't look like they crossed through the Perimeter's territory. Indira worries that a willing surrender may draw suspicion, but Asha suggests instead that they turn Iris and Felix in and make it look like the Perimeter caught them. Indira agrees that it would look less suspicious, and it would show the CRM that the Perimeter is honoring their agreement.
Iris is surprised that Indira would be willing to do that, but Indira is more worried about her friends: escaping will be dangerous and from what she saw, Hope wasn't too eager to leave. However, Will tells her that that was before Hope knew the truth and Iris adds that Hope is her sister and she'll leave. Will adds that once they're out, they'll pick up him, Elton and Percy a mile west of the Perimeter. The Endlings will lay low - possibly at the underground mall near Cornell that Dev had mentioned to them - and then once things blow over, they'll head west. Indira warns them that things don't just blow over with the CRM and they'll be all alone if they need help on the inside. Percy reveals that he and Will have found a way to get a message out if the plan changes through a dead drop. The Perimeter's supplies come in late in the day on the first Wednesday of every month which is the next day.
Walking outside together, Elton suggests to Asha that if this plan works, the Perimeter will finally have the Endlings out of their hair. However, Asha tells him that it hasn't been so bad having them in their hair and he'll get to see Hope. Indira checks with Will that he's sure that this is what he wants to do knowing what he could lose, but Felix tells her that it's the CRM's turn to lose and Felix intends to make damn sure that they do.
That night, as Iris, Felix, Indira and Dev prepare for departure in a wagon, Percy approaches Iris, asking if she's sure that he can't come with her and help her escape from the inside as he's good at getting out of places. Percy suggests that he can pretend to be someone else, but Iris tells him that they can't risk it. Promising to see Percy on the other side, Iris kisses him goodbye and Indira approaches to announce that it's time to go.
Shortly thereafter, Percy, now wearing Elton's jacket in order to disguise himself as his friend, rides a horse after the others. Iris and Felix are shocked by Percy's appearance and Indira warns him that they aren't far from the checkpoint, a patrol could arrive at any minute and Percy should go. Percy argues that with his skills as a grifter, he could be of great help to Iris and Felix on the inside. Felix warns Percy that if the CRM sees him, it could be over while Iris wonders if this about helping them or killing Huck. Percy admits that he wants Huck dead, but not like before, not by putting anyone else at risk. Felix is incredulous about Percy's plan to help by posing as Elton, but Percy tells Iris if she says yes, "I'll do whatever I gotta do. I'll kill a hundred of those assholes, I don't care. Whatever I gotta do to get you out safe." Iris wonders what happens to Percy then and he states that he'll finish what he set out to do, try to make it out and find Iris again. Felix apologizes to Percy, telling him that they can't risk this, but it's too late: the CRM are coming. Dev and Indira quickly move to bind and blindfold the group as CRM vehicles approach.
"Who Are You?"[]
Indira, Asha and Dev watch as CRM soldiers unload supplies for the Perimeter. While the soldiers are distracted, Indira and Asha keep watch as Dev discreetly unscrews a bolt in the CRM vehicle's bumper containing Iris' message for Will and Elton.
Dev gives Elton Iris' coded message from the dead drop. As Dev, Asha, Indira and Will watch, Elton decodes it and immediately becomes worried. Elton reveals that the others aren't leaving and Will snatches the message to read it for himself. Dev points out the others are supposed to get in, grab Hope and Leo and get out and wonders what else they could be doing. Angry, Will gives the message to Indira which reveals that the others intend to burn the research facility to the ground. "They're gonna start a war," Indira realizes.
As Dev and Asha watch, Indira presents the message to Brody, Robin and the rest of the Council. Indira suggests that the letter could mean anything, but Brody believes that it means exactly what it says, and they need to take immediate action to protect themselves. Brody wants to turn in Will and Elton and warn the CRM about the impending trouble that the Endlings intend to cause. Indira reminds Brody that she had helped the others infiltrate the research facility with the Council's backing and they gave them their word that they'd keep them safe. Brody tells Indira that she gave them her word that she'd keep the Perimeter safe, but Indira insists that they are safe and the CRM knows nothing about the Perimeter's involvement. Indira thinks that they have been living with the CRM's boots on their necks for so long that if the Endlings want to give the CRM some hell, why shouldn't they help them. Robin agrees that Indira has a point, and they need to pick a side. Stating that Robin's right and they do, Brody proposes a vote of no confidence in Indira.
Emerging from the house, Dev and Asha tell Will and Elton that while Brody tried to pull some shit, it didn't work and they can stay, at least for now. Will thanks the two, but he announces that he's not staying, he can't, and he needs to get back inside of the facility.
That night, looking at Will's map of the facility, Dev tells Will that he can cut him through Larkin Notch which will get Will a half mile from the research facility without the long-range patrols spotting him. Elton asks what Will's next move will be and he finds a holding pen on the fence line where the scientists keep the empties that they use for study. Security will be laxer there, but Elton points out it's because the CRM assume that no one's actually crazy enough to cut through. Elton and Asha exchange concerned looks as Will states that it's how he gets in and once he finds the others, Will will tell them about Indira and make sure that whatever they're up to doesn't jeopardize the medicine that she needs. With Indira having risked everything for them, Will owes her this. Asha pleads with Will to at least take her and Elton with him, but if the others make it out or things go sideways, Will needs them both safe. Dev teases his sister about her being worried and Asha claims that she just doesn't want to get stuck holding the bag if Indira finds out. Dev suggests that Asha tell their mother that, instead of Indira taking care of everyone else, someone's off taking care of her for a change. Dev jokes that it's also pretty fun leaving his little sister holding the bag sometimes. Will and Dev leave with Dev playfully punching Asha's shoulder.
In the woods, Dev tells Will that they're close and the research facility is just over the next hill. Will wonders how Dev knows this area so well and he admits to having done a lot of wandering off and sneaking out growing up. Both men acknowledge that having a home to sneak away from is a lucky thing and Will tells Dev that he owes Dev and his family everything. Stopping Dev, Will tells him that Dev should head back, he'll take it from here. Dev pulls out a gun that had belonged to his dad who had given it to Dev years ago before he died. Indira doesn't know that it exists, and Dev hasn't used it before, but he wants Will to have it.
Suddenly, Dev is shot in the head by an approaching CRM patrol, killing him and splattering the shocked Will's face with his blood. Will drops to the ground beside Dev's corpse and after staring at it in shock for a moment, Will grabs Dev's gun and spear and, leaving Dev's body behind, runs off into the woods as the soldiers shoot at him.
"Returning Point"[]
Will returns to the Perimeter without Dev. Indira and Asha break down in tears as they realize Dev is dead.
As Perimeter citizens gather round, Indira reveals that Dev died because he was trying to ensure she would keep getting secret medical supplies for her illness. She says the CRM will come after them once they realize Dev violated their non-aggression pact. She announces immediate evacuation plans and vows to step down once they reach safety.
