Walter

Walter was a miner who was hired by an unknown man to search for an ancient artifact, which held the spirit Krr'sa'thu'tin. All of his companions, including his brother, were killed by the Demon and Walter ran off, joining Johnny Toast in his attempt to find his missing girlfriend Mary Petrova. He was killed by Krr'sa'thu'tin while holding the Demon off so Johnny, Mary, and their friends Billy and Sue could escape.

An unusual request
Walter and his brother were members of a mining team that hired themselves out to the highest payer. They were called upon by a man to excavate the Arabon Mountains in search of an ancient artifact.

Walter and his companions carried out their mission. They entered the mountains and mined them for any sign of the artifact, which they eventually found. Accidentally, the group unleashed a demonic creature named Krr'sa'thu'tin.

The Demon unleashed
The Demon killed all of Walter's companions, including his brother. Walter escaped into the mines when a group of teenagers began their week-long vacation in the mountains' campgrounds. Two of the teens, Johnny Toast and his girlfriend Mary Petrova, were caught in a fight with some of the Demon's minions, called "stragglers," and Mary was dragged off.

Walter helped kill some of the stragglers and rescue Johnny. The two ventured back to Johnny's cabin, where they informed the others of what had happened and Walter revealed the way they could kill the Demon. He, Johnny, and two brothers, Billy and Sue Acachalla, returned to the caves to rescue Mary. Walter carried his shotgun and passed his revolver on to Sue.

Inside the caves, Walter and Sue killed several of the stragglers and eventually found Mary. Walter dispatched one of the Demon's escorts, allowing Johnny to grab Mary and escape with Billy and Sue. Walter vowed to hold of the Demon and did so, although he was decapitated before he could fire a single shot.

Personality and traits
Walter had thin, gray hair, showing his age greatly. He had light blue eyes and often wore a baggy jumpsuit and a toboggan while mining, with a headlight strapped to his forehead.

Walter was an old man with a lively personality, although it was somewhat diminished after his brother and friends were killed. He was quick to offer a hand to help defeat the Demon, giving his life to help. Walter was well-experienced in the usage of firearms and carried both a shotgun and a revolver, the former of which he used mostly. The revolver fell into Sue's hands when Walter died.
