Biography
Not much is known of Walkers past, except that he was sixty-three years old, as of 1951, he was a retired colonel and had become Secretary of War at some point in time.

Walker did not care for the other members of Graces cabinet and they 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 plan,using a pocket-sized wire recorder, 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 a truce, Walker snapped and began yelling in outrage. After the meeting Walker and his wife leave Washington, D.C. heading for Chimera-controlled Chicago, where they would meet the Freedom First and get their recordings of Grace and Project Omega on the radio.

Just after leaving Washington, Chief of Staff William Dentweiler is 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 they were being followed, the Walkers bailed out 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 blow up. 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. Later the truck crashed and they were force to walk, they stayed in an old hotel kitchen for the 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 taken a swing at Walker. Later Tolly was seen talking to Collins, and as every three days someone was taken out of the pit for an unknown reason, never to be seen again, Walker was told by his friend Harley Burl to keep his head down. The next day Walkers 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, positions were chosen by picking out of a hat, however the breaakout was discovered before he could escape.

When a rescue mission, 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 corpses back.

Hale would later listen to the recordings during the VTOL ride back to base. Hale would then go on to kill Grace during his negotiation with Daedalus.
