The End Is the Beginning
―The cult's motto[src]

This doomsday cult are hostile survivors introduced in Season 6 of AMC's Fear The Walking Dead. They serve as the secondary antagonistic cult for the first half and primary antagonistic cult for the second half of Season 6.

Pre-Apocalypse

Location Unknown

Nothing is known about the individual members of this cult before or as the outbreak began. It is possible that they knew each other before the apocalypse.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 6

"The End Is the Beginning"

Two members of the cult are first seen camping out beside a beached submarine. One man spray paints the words, "the end is the beginning" on the side of the submarine, but is interrupted by a walker, who he kills with the can. The man tells his companion that Emile LaRoux should have arrived by then, and the two agree to wait elsewhere.

"Alaska"

When Dwight and Althea enter an office building, they find the same message from the submarine, "the end is the beginning", spray painted on a wall, meaning this cult was in the building at some point. After the two situate the issue in the building with plague-ridden rats, Al examines an abandoned can of spray paint, drawing the analysis that the cult who left the message intentionally infected the community.

"The Key"

While traveling down the road, Morgan's car is struck by another car driven by the two men from "The End Is the Beginning". When the man exits with his companion, he is held at axe point by Morgan. They threaten him and demand he gives them a key. When Morgan refuses to comply, they attack. After Morgan kills his companion, this man jumps on his back and begins to strangle him. Morgan is able to shake him off and once again warns him to stop. This man ignores him and attacks him with a knife, forcing Morgan to stab him in the chest. Morgan realizes that they were after the key and wonders out loud at its purpose.

"Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg"

This cult causes an explosion in at Tank Town. At least one unidentified member infiltrated Tank Town and managed to spray paint "the end is beginning" on a water tower several hours prior to the attack. While attending to the wounded in a garage, June is attacked by an undead woman with sharp blades attached to her finger tips, suggesting she was a member of the cult who sacrificed herself in the attack to do more damage with her fingertips as a zombie or that the cult has modified one or more zombies to be deadlier.

"Handle With Care"

The cult leaves their "The End is The Beginning" message on the gates of both Lawton and the Skate Park, worrying Strand and the Outcasts.

Later, Dakota reveals that Virginia had said that the cult had gone underground and she thinks that Virginia had meant it literally: that they moved underground somewhere. Dakota states that the last place that Virginia had sent her people to search for them was located two days south of Tank Town which Dwight realizes is Dallas, Texas where the cult had infected an office building with the bubonic plague. Luciana volunteers herself and Wes to join Alicia and Al's scouting mission to Dallas in the hopes of finding the cult as well as some answers.

Trivia

  • The Creative Visionaries Agency may not be the only place where the cult released the plague-infected rats: as Dwight couldn't have been infected with the plague there, he suspected it was rats that were in his sleeping bag a day or so before at a different location.
