Neil is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a member of the Saviors.

Pre-Apocalypse

United States

Nothing is known about Neil's life prior to or as the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse

Fairfax, Virginia, United States

At some point in the apocalypse, Neil somehow came into contact with a group named the "Saviors", which he subsequently joined. He aided his group in terrorizing other survivors and communities around the area into submitting to Negan's will, where their victims would be forced to give half their supplies in exchange for not being murdered.

Season 6

"Twice as Far"

Neil is among the Saviors in Dwight's group who ambush Denise, Daryl, and Rosita on the road and offers to trade the captured Eugene in exchange for being taken to the Alexandria Safe Zone. Neil is ordered by Dwight to check out the nearby barrels, which he carefully approaches until a gunfight ensues. He is gunned down before he is able to flee with Dwight and the other Saviors.

"East"

While looking for the missing Daryl, Rosita and the group watch as Neil's body is among the dead Saviors being eaten by walkers at the train tracks.

Season 7

"Service"

When Rosita and Spencer return to the area in search of Daryl's bike, Rosita notices that Neil, alongside some of the other Saviors who were killed by the train track, had reanimated. All the zombified Saviors, including Neil, attack her, but she is able to dispatch them all.

Death

Killed By

Neil is shot to death in the ensuing firefight by either Daryl, Abraham, or Rosita.

Days later, a zombified Neil is found in the woods by Rosita and is put down alongside all of the other reanimated Saviors killed in the same fight.

Trivia

  • When Rosita encounters zombified Neil, his hair is much longer compared to his appearance in "Twice as Far".
    • Although in real life this is because the Neil's actor Robert Walker-Branchaud had grown his hair out a bit between when he shot scenes for "Twice as Far" and "East", in terms of the show this can be explained by the fact that Neil's zombified body was beginning to decompose thus giving the illusion that his hair had grown out.
  • Neil is the first named character who is killed by Rosita Espinosa in the TV Series, albeit zombified.
