Overview
Walt is a rude, cantankerous, and hostile old man. When Nate and Russell arrive at Gil's Pitstop, Walt believes them to be the people who had shot his wife, when this is not actually true. He relentlessly shoots at Nate and Russell until they manage to sneak up behind him. He angrily curses at Nate and Russell for what they have done. He is shown to be racist, calling Russell a "spook," a racial slur for African-Americans.
Pre-Apocalypse
United States
Almost nothing is known about Walt's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he was married to Jean.
Post-Apocalypse
Season One
"400 Days"
"Wildcard"
Walt was surviving with his wife, Jean, at Gil's Pitstop when a group of masked looters attacked them. On day 184, Russell and Nate show up at the pitstop to gather supplies and fill up on gas. Thinking they are the same looters, Walt starts to shoot at them. Russell and Nate hide behind Nate's pickup truck and sneak around the back of the building, sneaking up on Walt and taking his rifle from him. Walt starts to shout because his wife was shot by one of the looters. Walt, believing Russell and Nate to be the same looters, starts to complain about how they have returned. Russell can choose to leave Nate or stick with him. Choosing to leave will make Russell walk out of the back, stop, and hear two gunshots. If Russell stays, he will watch Nate shoot Walt and Jean in front of him.
In-Game Decision
Agree with Nate (Undead): If Russell remains silent or agrees with Nate, he shoots him in the chest and later reanimates as a walker in "Two Sisters".
Disagree with Nate (Dead): If Russell disagrees to kill Walt and Jean, he walks off, and then two shots are heard. Seeing as Walt doesn't appear as a watchdog in "Two Sisters", he was probably shot in the head.
"Two Sisters"
On day 236, Walt appears as a "watchdog" if Russell agreed to kill him and his wife and take their supplies.
Death
- Killed By
After trying to shoot and kill Nate and Russell, Nate decides that it'd be best to kill Walt and Jean and take their supplies. If Russell is for killing Walt, Nate shoots him in the chest, allowing him to reanimate and possibly appear as one of the "watchdog" walkers in the pitstop.
If Russell disagrees with Nate's idea, he will leave the pitstop, and he hears two gunshots. Nate almost certainly shot Walt in the head because if Russell leaves Nate, he won't appear in "Two Sisters" as a walker.
