The way I see it, I've been living on borrowed time for well past a decade now. And by all rights, someone like me should've met my maker on the very first day that things started to fall apart. But the thing is, I would've, were it not for the aid of friends. Friends who have not only changed me, but changed the hearts and minds of so many others. I am beyond certain that my fate will not discourage them from keeping that going, from helping others to find the courage to do what's right. I was not always a good man. Some time ago, I fell in with a posse who thrived doing some downright unseemly acts on the reg. I looked the other way. I placed value on order and safety above all other things, but I soon realized that I wasn't the one swinging the bat, I nevertheless had blood on my hands. I knew what was happening. My inaction made me culpable and I hated myself for that. So, I did something. In my own little way, I changed the world. And I learned that one person can do that, and sometimes all it takes is one person to do that.
~ Eugene's speech to the Commonwealth while he's on trial.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]

  • He'll sometimes resort to extreme measures to survive, such as sabotaging the Saviors' weapons, causing them to explode when fired. While still admirable, since it gave Rick's group an advantage and potentially saved their lives, it still caused a lot of severe injuries and a few deaths. He also pushed a walker onto Sebastian Milton, which resulted in his death, and he beat a Commonwealth soldier senselessly with a flashlight. However, he felt remorse for all of these acts and he typically makes an effort to avoid hurting others, so it is a minor prevention.

Trivia[]

  • He was initially voted to be Inconsistently Admirable, but was later approved Near Pure Good after the series finale, since he shedded most of his corrupting qualities.
