The Whisperers are a cult that who live and hunt in the wild and follow a societal hierarchy similar to that of wolves, with an "Alpha" as their one true pack leader. The Whisperers are also fiercely territorial and will kill any trespassers. They wear the skin of dead walkers to disguise themselves after it was discovered that it fools the walkers into leaving them alone. Communicating via whispering in gruff voices, mimicking the moans of the dead, kept them camouflaged.
