Walter is an Iraq and Afanistan war vet who was blown up while looking for a bomb maker in Iraq. Ever since then, he has always found what he looks for. He has an impressive clientele list that includes John Forgerty and Steven Hawking. His brother, Langston, is only seen is episode 13, and has supposedly lived in Holland for most of that time, teaching American folk music. His relationship with his mother is rocky after his mother left his father for someone else. He also does not get along with his father, mostly because his father tried to have Walter put in a mental institution when he came home from Iraq.
