[volume & issue needed] Upon arriving at the Whisperers' camp, he confronts Negan for lying and attempts to kill him; however, Beta is thwarted by Alpha.

[volume & issue needed] In response to the untimely death of Alpha, Beta takes a leadership position and declares war on the communities.

[volume & issue needed] Near the end of the war, he and few other Whisperers unleash a large herd of walkers on Alexandria.

Shortly after, Beta rises in pain and peers up, enraged, and covered in blood, with his bottom front teeth having been knocked out from the more than two-story fall.

Beta, who managed to find a way out of the elevator shaft, emerges from the trees and orders the group to drop their weapons.

[4] In the episode "We Are the End of the World", it is discovered in flashbacks the origin and past of a then unstable Beta, and what happened before he formed the Whisperers with Alpha, who he meets in an abandoned sanatorium along with Lydia.

In the present, Alpha orders Beta to collect more walkers from a nearby parking lot and take the two sisters (Mary and Frances) with him.

Beta then begins worrying why Alpha chose not to punish Frances for showing weakness and wonders why they have not attacked the other communities yet.

Later that day, Beta forces Negan to do a series of tasks, including digging graves, skinning walkers and help hunt a wild boar to prove his worthiness.

In the episode "Stalker", Beta enters Alexandria in the middle of the night through an underground tunnel that one of his spies had created, Beta proceeded to brutally murder several Alexandrians who were in their homes and patiently waited for them to reanimate into walkers as a way to create a distraction to be able to search for Gamma without any problem.

However, the whisperer managed to get rid of his adversary and quickly followed his prey to the Grimes' house, where he began to search for each room until he was shot down by Judith in the chest.

Surviving the little girl's attack thanks to his bulletproof vest, Beta once again faced more of her enemies and while preparing to end Rosita's life, the man was interrupted when Mary threatened to commit suicide if he did not leave his opponent alone.

And finally to avoid further slaughter, the girl accepted the fate that awaited her and surrendered to the big man.

In the episode "Morning Star", Beta has declared war on the communities, and was tasked with extracting sap from various trees and later commanded his men through the horde on their way to Hilltop.

Once arrived at the community, Beta took full charge of his group's battle tactics, devising a clever plan that consisted of spraying their enemies with sap and using flaming arrows to set fire to everything in their path.

In the process, Beta found Mary wiping out a few walkers and quickly stabbed her in the belly, but she futilely tried to attack the deranged man by removing part of his mask and eventually died in his hands.

Waiting for Mary to reanimate as a walker, Beta did not have time to take her with his group when Alden finished her off from a distance, and noting that he was at a disadvantage, he escaped in terror.

In the episode "Look at the Flowers", after finding Alpha's zombified head embedded in a pike, Beta flatly refused to occupy the woman's rank within The Whisperers and punished one of his companions who proclaimed him their leader.

In the episode "The Tower", Beta and the Whisperers as a new leader, has finally brought the horde to Alexandria, but finds it apparently empty.

Unbeknownst to him, Alden is checking him out from the top floor of the mill, who is communicating information to Aaron through signs.

In the episode "Today and Tomorrow", a photo of Beta, on his records, before the apocalypse is seen being carried by Daniel Salazar, but he is forced to abandon them after walkers attack.

The character entered the recurring cast of the credits beginning with the episode "Guardians" of the ninth season.

The guy is huge, for one thing (at 6'4" he's got an inch on me) and in his trenchcoat and walker skin he's quite the striking figure, whether shambling slowly with his "guardians" or charging through a wall to attack Daryl.

Beta is a very scary guy, and the end suggests that the full force of his wrath and vengeance is about to be unleashed on our heroes".

"[14] He also positively commented on Ryan Hurst as Beta by the episode "Stalker", stating that he "does a brilliant job of simply lurking in the background of scenes like a true Michael Myers type.
