Appearance and character

Though his youthfulness has gone, Walter had never been described as being a handsome man. Walter is tall, well-built but has a layer of fat to him that hinders quick movement, causing him to prefer large suits of armour and war-horses compared to their smaller, quicker counterparts. Walter wields a giant hammer made out of iron, which he favoured in tournaments in his youth. He lost his left ear in a drunken brawl in his youth, and has had trouble hearing out of it ever since.

Unlike his son and heir, Robar, Walter is said to be unkind, intolerant and aggressive. He hates the mountain clansmen for the death of his father; but also shows intolerant and arbitrary behaviour, especially in his leadership. Despite his intolerant opinions, and cruel leadership, he has served House Royce loyally for the majority of his life.

History

Early Life

As a child, he showed cruel tendencies to the younger children around him, but it was dismissed by his father and ignored by his mother. His father was of the opinion that he was exactly what their house needed, a man made for martial. On his fifth name day, he was caught running around the streets of Gulltown, hacking the tails off terrified kittens with a dirk, and that was when his father believed he was destined for greatness. He had never forgotten about how House Shett was once loyal in it's own right, and had been reduced to the lowly vassals, note even lords of House Royce. And with that, he influenced his son; and in a sense, he trained him. His cruelty no longer showed no bounds, but was set onto a task; restoring the honour of House Shett.

Serving as a squire, he often preferred a hammer, though it was a small thing that could be swung with a single arm, but as he grew older, and stronger; he had taken to prefer a war hammer, solely due to the reason it could smash through the par of a foe, without having to be too agile.

When he was nineteen, he married the niece of the current ruler of House Hunter, and although the marriage was loveless, he did not focus his cruelty upon his newly wed wife. But it was not affection he yearned for, it was heirs and children, and as a result, he neglected and isolated his wife, depriving her of the affection she once sought.

Notoriously, he burnt a village in the step stones to the ground and had several unarmed hostages executed in the Stepstones during the War of the Three Thieves.

Recent Events

Throughout the turmoil and drama that had occured in the Vale, the knight of the Gull Towe had stayed loyal to his liege lord, Meryn Royce without any issue; though the majority of his troops were never mobilised as he sniffed out his surroundings to make sure the choice he made was the correct one.
