Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Gavin was a member of what villainous group?

Answer: The Saviors

Gavin makes his first appearance in season 7, episode 2, "The Well". He is a member of the Saviors, which is lead by the villain Negan. No information is given about how he came to join the group, but he seems to be one of its more level-headed members.
2. Which of the communities was Gavin in charge of extorting?

Answer: The Kingdom

In "The Well," Gavin is shown meeting with Ezekiel in order to collect a tribute from the Kingdom for the Saviors. Ezekiel has struck a deal with the Saviors and appears to be able to keep his weapons (unlike some of the other communities). They meet at a rendezvous spot where Gavin regularly collects tribute, and King Ezekiel keeps the arrangement a secret from his people in order to prevent them from worrying or seeking war.
3. Gavin was killed while unarmed, despite surrendering.

Answer: true

Gavin had been unarmed and had begged for his life prior to being killed. Another time a surrendered person was killed in "The Walking Dead" was in season 3, episode 16, "Welcome to the Tombs," when Carl went ahead and killed Jody even after the teenager laid down his gun. Jody had been a part of the Governor's invading army.
4. Who tries to talk Morgan out of killing Gavin, saying, "You told me we could be better than them"?

Answer: Carol

When Gavin comes to abduct Ezekiel at Negan's behest, Ezekiel tries to talk him out of going through with it. Gavin seems conflicted about doing it and expresses a wish that matters hadn't come to this. Once Gavin's crew is killed and he is disarmed, Morgan prepares to kill Gavin. Carol, however, tries to talk Morgan down.

She says, "You told me we can be better than them. You said that to me." She assures Morgan, "I know you don't want to do this. I can see it." Morgan, however, replies, "I have to."
5. How does Gavin die?

Answer: Henry stabs him through the back of the neck

Carol fails to talk Morgan out of trying to kill Gavin. Morgan raises his staff to strike the man, but before he can, Gavin is stabbed through the back of the neck with a pointed staff by young Henry. This scene occurs in season 8, episode 9, "Honor". Henry blames Gavin for being complicit in his brother Benjamin's death.
6. Which member of Gavin's crew killed the young man Benjamin?

Answer: Jared

When Gavin orders Jared to shoot Richard in the leg as punishment for the Kingdom not paying the full tribute, Jared turns his gun on Benjamin instead. The young man, who is Henry's older brother, later ends up bleeding to death. When Gavin returns for the rest of the tribute the next day and is told of Benjamin's death, he is angry at Jared. Simon, Arat, and Dwight are all Saviors, but not members of Gavin's crew.
7. "You try, and you try, and you try," Gavin says, "and you hope, and you hope, and you hope. Just wanting things to finally just settle. Achieve some...hard-fought equilibrium. But, no. It always comes down to this. It always has to get ______." What three words are missing from the end of this quote?

Answer: dark and ugly and inhuman

Gavin speaks these words to Ezekiel in season 8, episode 9 "Honor." He has come to capture Ezekiel and bring him to Negan. Gavin is reluctant about the task but feels there is no defeating Negan. Ezekiel urges Gavin to join his side and tells him it's never to late to turn back from something decided.
8. Gavin was in charge of the Satellite Outpost.

Answer: False

Gavin was in charge of the Chemical Plant Outpost, which Ezekiel and Carol raid in season 8, episode 4, "Some Guy". It was a large outpost with around sixty Saviors located in an old chemical manufacturing plant. The satellite outpost was a communications facility that Rick and his group raided in season 6, killing several Saviors in their sleep.
9. Which of the following is NOT true of Gavin?

Answer: He is married to Deanna Monroe

Deanna Monroe was the leader of Alexandria and was married to a man named Reg. Gavin is a member of Negan's council and is the first member of that council to die in the "all out war" between Rick's coalition and the Saviors. He is also the first outpost leader and, indeed, the first of any of the high-ranking Saviors to die.

The actor who plays Gavin mentioned in an interview with BMNY that Gavin was a construction foreman prior to the onset of the zombie apocalypse.
10. Who stabbed Gavin in the head to prevent him from reanimating after his death?

Answer: Carol

In Season 8, Episode 9, Carol stabs Gavin in the head before he can reanimate, after Henry, to her shock, kills him. Gavin is played by Jayson Warner Smith, who has also had roles in such television shows as "Queen America" and "Rectify".
