[edit] Biography
Not much is known of Walker's past, except that he was sixty-three years old, as of 1951, was a retired colonel and had become Secretary of War at some point in time under the Grace Administration. However, Walker undeniably dislike Grace for his personality and rule over the United States; and unsatisfactory did not care for the other members of Grace's cabinet (only with the exception of Vice-President Harvey McCullen) for their sycophant loyalty to Grace, and they in turn apparently did not like him either.
When President Grace revealed Project Omega, both Walker and Vice-President Harvey McCullen disagreed with this idea; Walker decided to record the project, using a pocket-sized wire recorder as for evidence against Grace. Walker also refers to the cabinet members who agree with the idea as traitors. During another meeting, when the President reveals the conditions of the truce, Walker snapped and began yelling in outrage. After the meeting Walker and his wife Myra leave Washington D.C. and heading for Chimera-controlled Chicago, where they would meet the city's resistance group, Freedom First, and get their recordings of Grace and Project Omega on public radio.
Just after leaving Washington, Chief of Staff William Dentweiler was assigned to find the Walkers.
On November 29, 1951, the Walkers were being driven by a man named Twitch, a runner who drove people and supplies into Chimeran-controlled territory. They then discovered that they were being followed, and the Walkers bailed out into a ditch and Twitch performed a U-turn in an attempt to escape. The Walkers climbed out of the ditch just in time to see Twitch's car exploded. The pair were then captured by the Chimera and a prisoner guide named Norma Collins. They were put into a flatbed truck driven by a Hybrid along with other human prisoners. Later the truck crashed and they were force to walk, and stayed in an old hotel kitchen for the night. During that night, one of the prisoners was killed by the Chimera (possibly for food). The next day the group of prisoners were joined by another two groups of prisoners and they were led into a large open pit mine near Madison, Wisconsin.
At the pit supplies were dumped every so often, which led to groups competing for control of the supplies. Walker was part of the Fair and Square Squad, which divided the resources evenly. During one drop, Walker hit a man named Tolly, who had assaulted Walker. Walker was then told and warned by his friend Harley Burl to stay out of sight as Tolly was seen talking to Collins, who was the person who chosen prisoner(s) as every three days and was taken out of the pit for an unknown reason, never to be seen again, and suggesting that he planned on taking Walker away. The next day Walker's wife Myra was taken out of the pit, into what was revealed as a conversion center filled with Spinners.
A few days later Walker killed Tolly by lighting him on fire using gasoline and a Zippo lighter, in what Walker knew was revenge on the man he believed was responsible for his wife's death. When a breakout using a tunnel was attempted, Walker was the 131st person to go, as positions were chosen by picking out of a hat; however, the breakout was discovered before he could escape.
When a SRPA rescue mission on the mining pit, led by Nathan Hale, with directions from Burl, arrived a few days later, it was discovered that Walker had been brought into the conversion center earlier. They were able to find him in one of the cocoons and located his recorder on the corpse's back.
Hale would later listen to the recordings during the VTOL ride back to base. After hearing the recorder's information, Hale would then go on to kill Grace during his negotiation with Daedalus.
