For his entire life, his parents hid him. His entire society was hidden from the rest of the multiverse. Very few knew the elf civilization existed. Walter didn’t want to be hidden though. He wanted to explore, so when he turned 250, he snuck away. He was a happy kid, exploring and marveling at the outside world, until he found out that as soon as he left, his planet was destroyed. Everyone he cared about had died. He felt that he could have saved them if he hadn’t left. From then on, he just kept to himself. Stayed in the shadows. Went out to planets to hunt for his own food. He barely ever interacts with other beings. He has no job, and doesn’t live anywhere. He has never loved anyone since his planet was destroyed. The picture above is from happier times.
