The Crazed Man is a minor antagonist in AMC's The Walking Dead, serving as the overarching antagonist for the first half of Season 5.

He was a survivor and leader of an unnamed hostile group that raped, tortured, and killed their victims. After the Terminus residents escaped, they killed the bandits and took the man as their prisoner as a punishment for his actions.

He was portrayed by Owen Harn.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

• Despite being welcomed with open arms, he and his gang took over the peaceful community of Terminus, had its residents imprisoned in train cars, and would have them routinely raped, tortured and killed for his own enjoyment.
• As shown in a flashback, he pushed Mary into the cart and then proceeded to rape another woman who screams "not again" while dragging her away. He then punched Gareth in the face for trying to comfort his mother.
• His fate of being imprisoned in the train cart and left to go insane is completely deserved for what he did to Terminus and does not make him a scapegoat or sympathetic.
• His actions would ultimately lead Terminus to becoming insane cannibals due to losing their trust in new people and not wanting to be hurt by new people any more.
  • It is strongly implied he purposefully caused this as his motive seems to be breaking the residents and he seems to feel excitement upon seeing Rick and thinking he is a Terminus resident who became "the same" as him.
• While other villains in the series commit arguably worse acts and have a lot more screentime, he manages to stand out due to being just a random bandit who only appears in two brief scenes but whose crimes had a significant impact on the story and characters.

Trivia[]

• He and Simon are the only two characters from the Walking Dead TV Universe to be approved Pure Evil.
  • Ironically, both of them are original characters created exclusively for the TV series.
• He shares many similarities to Jake from the Telltale Games, as they were both bandits who attempted a hostile takeover of a community, raped numerous people, and were indirectly killed by the main protagonists.
