AceShowbiz - "The Walking Dead" is having a new addition. According to The Spoiling Dead Fans, the show is casting a 30- to 40-year-old new character named Brion who has never been mentioned in the comic books. Brion is described as "an educated, pokerfaced leader who has a superior air and does not let his/her motives be known."
"Brion uses as few words as possible and keeps his/her emotions in check -- we do see amusement, annoyance, displeasure," the description continues. "Brion just doesn't wear their emotions on their sleeve; he/she is confident, quiet, and chiefly concerned with how anything may benefit him/her and those he/she knows."
This sparks rumor that the zombie series is poised to introduce a new group. While the gender is not revealed in the casting call, some speculate that Brion might be Alpha, the female leader of the Whisperer group at war with Alexandria. The new character is expected to recur during season 7 which is due to premiere on October 23.
