Walter Nelson Benedict Ovingham-Talbot III

Personal Information

Walter comes from a aristocratic family near Wolverhampton, England. His arrival in Australia was to run his Uncle's farming business north of Adelaide, but circumstances lead to a car accident and the chance meeting of a young Kindred nurse.

Appearance

Walter is a large man and dresses business-formal for most occasions - favouring a shirt and tie over anything else. Even during the hot nights of Adelaide's summer, he insists on wearing semi-formal attire.

Personality

Walter's personality is known to be as a pendulum. He can be quite reserved and quiet, listening and discerning at times; but then has been known to belittle and verbally tear those underneath him apart for supposed stupidity.

Mortal World

Walter floats around the high-society of Adelaide occasionally, visiting places like The Adelaide Club, The Naval, Military and Air Force Club of South Australia and several other hellfire clubs of Adelaide.

Quotes About

"Walter has only held the position of Prince for 7 years. He is growing into the position, protected on all sides by his Family, his Clan and his Covenant. There are those that think behind the protection there is a Kindred of little substance. Walter Nelson Benedict Ovingham-Talbot III does not lack substance." - Timothy Ward
