Pre-Apocalypse

Nothing is known about Shupert's life before or as the apocalypse began. It is possible that he was already a resident in Woodbury. It is unknown how he acquired his archery skills but it is possible that he gained this skill while living in Woodbury or if he was skilled with a bow before the apocalypse.

Trivia

• His name was confirmed on the same sheet of paper that confirmed Axel and Oscar's appearance in Season 3.
• It is assumed that Bowman is a nickname used by the writing staff, and that is why that name was on the sheet of paper.
• Shupert is possibly the physically strongest character on the show, pulling back his bow with enough force for his arrow to go all the way in and out of a walker's skull.
• Shupert is one the characters that did not speak in the episode he was introduced, the others being Jim, Jimmy, Beth, Michonne, Eileen, Big Tiny, Tomas, Andrew, Oscar, and Warren.
• Shupert is one of three archers on the show, the others being Daryl Dixon and Haley. Unlike Daryl however, he and Haley prefer the use of bows rather than a crossbow. Later during "Made To Suffer", he was seen wielding Daryl's confiscated crossbow.
