Walter (Video Game)

"They say the world is over, but I'll tell you a secret: it's not. People are more political now than they ever were before. In the end, we can't change the world. All we can do is continue to learn from each other; to empathize and use our heads... In any case, the point is: as long as we have our wits about us, we can always make the right choice. Right?"

- Walter to Clementine

Walter, also known as Walt, is an original character who appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Two. He is a very kind-hearted and positive man who desires peace among the survivors. However his trusty nature can be misplaced.

Location Unknown
Walter was a teacher before the outbreak began. He and Matthew would regularly visit the Ski Lodge in their vacations.

"A House Divided"
Walter appears in this episode with a small group of survivors that reside in the Ski lodge. He seems to be very kind-hearted and gives supplies to Bonnie when requested. Walter is very welcoming, and was nice to Clementine and the group when they first arrived.

After Clementine and the rest of her group find the lodge, they encounter Walter along with Kenny and Sarita. Walter repeatedly brings up Matthew, and eventually, he finds out that the man Nick shot on the bridge near the lodge was Matthew after putting two and two together. This leads to a confrontation between Walter, Clementine, and Nick outside. After a tense few moments, Walter eventually tosses Matthew's knife over the railing, the knife being one of the few things he had left to remember Matthew by. While outside, the group is distracted from the storm, and Kenny points out that the wind turbine is going dangerously fast, and that the sound may attract walkers. As Luke and Kenny go to defend the lodge, Clementine eventually shuts the turbine down, but not before walkers are driven to their area. Walter is one of the members of the group who helps fend off the attacking walkers.

As more and more walkers head towards the group, machine gun fire is heard, and it is revealed that Carver, Bonnie, and the rest of their group had arrived. They are led inside where their group investigates the lodge in search of Rebecca. Walter is tied up against the wall this whole time. After subjecting Carlos to torture to draw her out, Rebecca reveals herself. After Johnny is killed, and he himself is nearly shot by Kenny and Luke, Carver eventually grabs Walter and forces him to the middle of the room, where he presses his pistol up against Walter's head and fires, killing him instantly.

Trivia

 * Regardless of what you do, even if you tell Kenny not to shoot Johnny, he kills Johnny anyway. According to Kenny in the trailer for In Harm's Way, Carver would've killed Walter anyway due to his greed and power, so it was worth killing Johnny anyway.
 * Kenny's explanation for killing Johnny is accurate within-game, since no matter what choice you make Carver always kills Walter.
 * He is the third character to be called Walt or Walter in the Video Games the first is a dog and the second is a man in 400 Days.

in the pre-apocalypse, Walter used to be a teacher.
