For those who haven’t seen the original show, or who simply want to know where he comes into the plot, here’s everything you need to know about who King Bach plays in The Walking Dead. Warning: spoilers for The Ones Who Live Episode 2 ahead!
Who does King Bach play in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Episode 2?
King Bach plays Bailey in The Walking Dead, and appears in Season 10 Episode 13 of the original series, as well as Episode 2 of The Ones Who Live.
In The Walking Dead, Bailey is one of two stragglers who Michonne picks up on her travels to find Rick. They ask for her help in getting back to their group, who have moved ahead despite Bailey having an injured ankle.
He then returns as Bailey in Episode 2 of The Ones Who Live. The episode picks up with Michonne, Bailey, and his pregnant partner Aiden back with their community. They assist Michonne in getting supplies and a horse so she can continue onward.
Eventually, Bailey, Aiden, and Nat all catch up with Michonne to help her. However, tragedy strikes as they pass through an abandoned town, as a CRM helicopter travels overhead and drops chlorine bombs on them.
The group is horribly injured, choking on the poisonous fumes. When Michonne comes back from a run to the nearby medical plaza, she finds Bailey and Aiden have both died and turned into walkers.
Bailey is trying to get to Nat, who is still alive and hiding behind a counter, so Michonne takes her sword and kills him.
