McIntosh began her run in TWDU on The Walking Dead in season 7 as the leader of a group called the Scavengers who made their home at a junkyard. Here they created weapons from junk and lived by the motto “We take, we don’t bother.” It would later be discovered that Jadis was trading people to the Civic Republic for resources and would eventually save the life of  Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) by using him as a bargaining chip to ensure entrance into the CR.

The next time viewers would see Jadis is in the limited spinoff series The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Her trade with this community allowed her to enter their ranks and work her way up to becoming Warrant Officer Jadis Stokes. It has been rumored that Jadis will appear in The Walking Dead movies if these ever get created.
