He cares greatly for his father, despite his father's rapidly degenerating mental state.
- Value Most –
Time. The biggest fear he has is wasting his time, or thinking about how everyone has their expiration date, no matter how many bullets they dodge.
- Feelings Toward People –
Surprisingly friendly and open for someone who would just as happily put a bullet in your brain if it meant paying for the rent. Even on his contracts, he never takes any personal agenda against his targets and does it all professionally.

A small, rare, paper book titled "Principia of Discordia" that he always keeps on him.

KI-455 Sniper Rifle and G45f .45 pistols: Top- A modular sniper rifle that fires magnetically propelled needle rounds. The ammunition can vary from armor piercing to explosive, but thanks to the mag-rail system, its virtually silent. Bottom- Keeps both these pistols on him at all times, the G45f is a .45 semi automatic pistol with optional suppressor if you don't want to wake the neighbors.
Good old fashion combat knife from his SEAL days. Sometimes, traditional ways work best.... or, its the thing you happened to have while someone tackled you to the ground.
Skills:Marksman
Great hand to hand fighter
Tactical/Situational Thinker
Good Perception
Augmentations: M47a Advance Combat/Reconnaissance Suit.
As seen in the image, he constantly wears a full body combat suit that he has never fully taken off ever since he first got it in 08. This is due to it being an early/experimental model given to spec op units for field testing. While it provided great strength, agility, and situational awareness to the user, it required that the human body had to be physically augmented to work at 100% efficiency. This was more apparent with the other key component, stealth. The suit's stealth is sort of like an octopuses stealth, changing both color and shape to blend in best with the surroundings. This is known as "active camouflage" as it is actively changing to blend in. At first they thought it was temporary, but early modules ended up bonding to much with their users, thus making it impossible to remove without killing the user. So in short, you get to be ninja super soldier with the physical boost and stealth, but you can't shower properly.
Equipment: While Walter has plenty of ammo caches in his safe house, he usually carries around three or four pistol magazines if he's just in public. If on job with his heavier stuff such as the sniper rifle or the assault rifle, he will usually bring around 6 magazines to the party, as well as flashbangs (a favorite of his).
