Top 25 Walking Dead Villains of all time
By Nir Regev
14. Alpha Wolf Owen (The Wolves)
Introduction: Owen the Alpha Wolf arrives in Morgan’s impromptu camp site and calmly says he wants all of Morgan’s stuff, “every last drop.” Morgan is able to fight off both Owen and another wolf. Owen later encounters Morgan and tells him he should have killed him when he had the chance.
His group, the Wolves, raid Alexandria, killing multiple residents. Morgan has Owen captured and decides to rehabilitate him rather than kill him, in an attempt to follow Eastman’s teachings.
Biggest moment of Villainy: Most of his handiwork is found in the woods by Daryl and Aaron in the form of brutally murdered people. Owen shows almost no remorse during his capture. After a fight between Carol and Morgan over his life breaks out, he knocks Morgan, his defender, unconscious. He then takes Denise hostage.
Everybody Hurts Sometimes: Owen seems to have a change of heart and goes back to save Denise from walkers despite being able to escape. He is shot by Carol and bitten by walkers in the process.
The Good Side: It looks like Morgan’s method may have worked if Owen for a second. Of course, Morgan never got to see for sure, and as an indirect result would start killing again. Ironically, his first fresh is done to save Carol.
First Appearance: “Conquer” (season 5, episode 16)
Last Appearance: “No Way Out” (season 6, episode 9)
Cause of Death: Owen is bitten by walkers during Denise’s rescue and shot by Carol in the chest.
Memorable Quote: “Just be still…” (To Morgan)
