Overview[]
Ethan is a well-intentioned man who is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about. However, this causes him to make rash decisions. After being sent with a group on a mission to see the Saviors and Negan, Ethan's entire group is killed and Crystal is captured, leaving him as the only one to make it out.
