Negan is shown to be a charismatic, manipulative, brutal and ferocious sociopathic man with a sarcastic, inappropriate sense of humour. Negan is a brilliant strategist and a strong, effective leader, has kept hundreds of people alive and is worshipped by many and feared by others. He appears to have complete control over his vast group and is questioned by no one, acting as a complete dictator. Negan also acts like a cult leader, as the Saviors all kneel in his presence and when asked who they are, they all respond in unison "Negan". Negan appears to care about the well-being of his group as shown when he personally killed Abraham as punishment for the slaughter of many of his soldiers at the hands of Rick and his group. Negan believes that he alone can save the people around him and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival.
