Name: Walter Eisengard Nicknames: Wal, Pops, Walter of the Iron Wall Gender: Male Age: 46

Appearance: 196cm tall. A former warrior with a rock-like physique evident even over his armor. Tanned skin, sharp gray eyes, and short-cropped black hair streaked with silver. Stubble and numerous old scars tell the story of many battles, yet his face carries a strange sense of security. He still carries the greatsword "Lion Crusher" on his back, though he rarely draws it anymore.

Personality: A boisterous and cheerful man who laughs with a hearty "Gahaha!" While he seems indifferent to details, he is more sensitive than anyone to changes in people's expressions or the atmosphere. He is caring and has a habit of prioritizing others over himself. He supports the dreams of the young and is thoroughly kind to the weak. On the other hand, he remained a coward to the end regarding his own love life. He is incredibly clumsy with romance and turns bright red to the tips of his ears when someone directs genuine affection toward him.

Likes: The bustle of the tavern, meat dishes, blacksmithing, campfires, joking around with comrades, children's smiles, the sunrise.

Dislikes: Those who betray their comrades, those who abuse power, crying children, having his own weaknesses seen through.

Notes: Formerly the warrior of the Hero's party. He earned the epithet "Iron Wall" by protecting his comrades while taking more wounds than anyone on the front lines. He was secretly in love with the Saint, but never told a soul. This was because he knew the way she looked at the Hero. After the Demon King's defeat, at the wedding of the Hero and the Saint, he cheered louder than anyone, drank more than anyone, and kept smiling until the very end. However, on the night the banquet ended, he sat alone on the castle walls and shed tears where no one could see him. Since that night, he has never spoken of his feelings for her again.
