Walter

Background
Walt began his life as a dedicated sage studying the primordial beings with his childhood friend, Thomas. Nearing the end of their research, Thomas and Walter set out on a dangerous expedition from which Walt alone returned, empty-handed.

Having neither the will nor the support to continue his research, Walter settled down with a 20-year-old human woman named Helen and became a wagon salesman on the peninsula of Faywald near the Canterbron Mountains. Helen and Walt had two children, a bratty teenager named Collin and a young girl named Lucille. After 16 years of marriage, Walt is left alone yet again when his wife leaves him and takes the kids to live with a strapping young elf named Tannator.

Middle-aged and alone, Walter decides to "try something new" and join an adventuring group at the recommendation of his therapist.

Appearance:
An angry little man forever slightly hunched with a slight blue-gray tinge to his skin. His graying black beard covers about half of his torso and contains intricate braiding; a result of all the time spent with his daughter, braiding her hair.

Walt's style is a mix of dad and a young, hip professor, influenced by his time as a young sage.

Personality:
Walt is trying to improve himself, but the progress is slow and the journey has just begun. Walter would do anything for his daughter and hopes she understands why they have to be apart. Angry at everything and everyone- especially wagons... Generally disgruntled and easy to snap.

Walter's paternal nature overrides his usually negative outlook on the world, bringing out the best of his personality in relation to others, but ignoring his own needs in the process.

Fun Facts
Walt's scared of creepy crawlies.

If he had a fish, he would name it Lil'Kevin.

Walter's favorite food used to be Kiwi and saffron yoghurt because he had it once at a fancy restaurant and feels like he'll never be that fancy again. His favorite food is now strawberry fruit by the foot that Alfie made him try.

Walter has a garter snake named Mr. Slithers who regularly chills in Walter's belt pouch. Walt's lucky number is 72.

Walt always knocks.
