| “ | PLEASE JUST GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! PLEASE JUST LEAVE US ALONE!
―Walt to Nate and Russell.[src]
|
” |
Walt is an elderly survivor who first appeared in Russell's Story in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC. He was surviving with his wife at Gil's Pitstop before Shel and her group showed up. He is an antagonist in Russell's story.
Pre-Apocalypse
Location Unknown
Almost nothing is known about Walt's life before or as the outbreak began, except that he was married to Jean.
Post-Apocalypse
"400 Days"
Walt was surviving with his wife, Jean, at Gil's Pitstop when a group of masked looters attacked them. Russell and Nate show up at the pitstop to gather supplies and fill up on gas when 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 off 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 on how they have returned. Russell can choose to leave Nate, or stick with him. Choosing him to leave will make Russell walk out of the back, stop and hear two gun shots. If Russell stays, he will 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 Shel's Story.
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 Shel's story, he was probably shot in the head to prevent reanimation.
Death
Killed By
- Nate
After trying to shoot down and kill Nate and Russell, Nate decides that it'd be best to kill Walt and his wife and take their supplies. If Russell is for killing Walt, Nate kills him with a shot to the chest, allowing him to reanimate and possibly appear as one of the 'watchdog' walkers in the pitstop.
Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Walt has killed:
- Possibly numerous counts of zombies.
Relationships
Jean
| “ | WALT!
―Jean to Walt.[src]
|
” |
Walt is married to Jean and it is clear that he loves her very much. He risked his own life against Nate and Russell, just to protect his dying wife from them. Walt was killed seconds before Jean was, she having a traumatizing scene before her eyes , just so that she can lose her life. Even with a loving relationship, their small roles and short lifespan caused the relationship to be never explored further.
Nate
| “ | You tried to kill us for no goddamn reason. If anything we should take you out for that.
―Walt to Nate.[src]
|
” |
Walt and Nate have a very negative relationship with each other. Walt believes Nate is part of the group that attacked him and his wife earlier. He single handedly tries to kill Nate when he shows up at the Pitstop. He also hates Nate, because the group he thinks Nate was the one who injured his wife, although it can´t be confirmed whether he was or not. When his attack fails, Nate kills Walt and Jean.
Russell
| “ | BULLSHIT! You came back here to finish us off and take all our food! And now... now you're with this spook!
―Walt to Nate about Russell.[src]
|
” |
Walt obviously does not like Russell and refers to him as a "spook" which leads him to be a possible racist. Also Russell is seen with Nate so he most likely believes Russell will kill them with Nate.
