Jesus
(Tom Payne)

Who he is: This guy really lives up to his name – not only does Jesus look the part, with the long hair, beard, and soulful eyes, but the Hilltop recruiter also just exudes kindness and warmth and is pretty much beloved by all. In season 7, Jesus consoled Maggie and Sasha in their grief, but realized they were going to have to stand up to Negan. Since Gregory was of no use, Jesus guided Maggie and pushed her to understand she’s more of a leader than she thought she was.

Where he left off: Jesus and Enid (Katelyn Nacon) also helped Maggie decide that Hilltop would join forces with Rick, but it was after the battle that Jesus really stepped up. He and Maggie tracked down zombie Sasha in the woods, and he assisted Maggie in putting her friend to rest. Jesus is a great right-hand man.
