The Mead Hall (OOC Chat)
Sir Walter was born to Lady Beatrice, Duke Thierry's youngest (and favorite) aunt. She was a vibrant, intelligent woman, who was immensely popular in court, and always the center of attention at any event. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth, and Walter's father simply never recovered, certainly not enough to serve as any sort of proper parent. As such, Walter's cousin, Duke Thierry, served as a surrogate parental figure, looking after the young man and ensuring that he got a squirehood with a prominent knight under his command.
For his part, Walter is a lot like his mother and has become something of a fixture at court. Whether it's his good looks, skill at political intrigue, familial connections, or some combination thereof, is up for debate, he's always a welcome sight. While he's hardly the most adroit knight in terms of martial prowess, he manages not to embarrass himself.
