Appearance:

Background:
  • Family Ranking:
    • Urban Street Kid - Born to extremely poor parents who attempted their best to live in Los Angeles, an urban contamination zone of constant acidic rain and lack of even breathable air, caused the Irons Family to seek elsewhere. Attempting to live out into the Death Valley and only go into the Urban location of Los Angeles when necessary. However, falling upon even harder times, The family chose to try and leave the city all together. Hiring Nomads to help them. However, it turned out better than expected.
    • Nomad Pack - In an attempt to leave Los Angeles, the local Aldecaldos clan of nomads were originally hired to take them to a different city and smuggle them so that they could get out from under debt to Militech as Walker's Father was a worker for the corporation. However, it came up that possibly would be better for the Irons family to just become Nomads, and so they went through a "trial" period in which Walker's Father was tasked with performing jobs and allowed them to become part of the family.
  • Parents:
    • Both parents Went with a group of Aldecaldos to Night City To find work while Walker was left with others for safety. Some eddies were sent back with notes of wanting to see Walker again, but went missing after five months.
  • Childhood Environment:
    • Early childhood was spent just within, and just outside the decrepit city of Los Angeles. A once well known city that had been turned upside down by war and Corpos, that is now a place that has one of the highest crime rates in the country, as well as requiring a mask in order to breathe in the city. Access to clean water and oxygen is expensive and not considered a "Right" its a privilege and a gift given by those who oversee the city. Hard, and harder living conditions forced Walker's family to make a tough decision to leave the city with the help of nomads, which turned into a new beginning for them as part of the Nomad clan of Aldecaldos.
    • As part of the nomad pack, Walker's parents first earned the right for their family to be there. Working as hard as they could with gigs, or to specifically use his fathers previous connections with militech in order to acquire weapons, technology or to hit their supply depots. This allowed the family to become part of the clan. Where as a teen, Walker learned quickly how to operate on various vehicles. Cars, trucks, motorcycles. Namely helping to modify them to be used in the desert like environments of Death Valley and Devil's Playground. A mechanical savant back at camp, to help prepare others for their gig or jobs. Once Walker proved himself, he was very often used as the "driver" for gigs or jobs. Being exceptional at getting nomads in or out of jobs. Smuggling came with that as well. As his fortitude with losing tails, and keeping border guards off their back was a skill he obtained rather quickly. Namely, earning him a spot as part of the Sightseers of the Aldecaldos.

Personality:
Ever since a young age, Walker has always held onto the values of trusting individuals who do good by him. However, that point is very rarely met. Family and his Clan of the Aldecaldos are what matter to him the most. Namely, making sure that he has something of a home. Even if that home isn't really a place, but instead a family that he can go to. If that means taking on the most dangerous jobs to make sure that his clan and family can breath clean air, drink fresh water, and have a bed to rest their heads, then he will do it. Even more so since his introduction to Night City, is specifically because he knows it was the last known location of his parents when they were on a job.

Walker is a rather down to earth individual. If there is a chance to have the happy ending of "Sitting on a porch as an old man with his wife." then he would take it. Even knowing the state of the world right now being extremely likely that the path he want's is not possible. Walker is typically rather soft spoken in groups. However, is more than willing and able to speak up when the need arises, or when something he feels is important to be a voice for. Not afraid to speak his mind, but will bite his tongue to keep the job or gig alive.

Friends:
Most of Walkers friends are members of his clan, and other Aldecaldos. There are a few others who he may have a connection with outside of that circle who he could consider to be acquaintances, or contacts, including other members of the Seven Nations, but more often than not, Walker is not one to be friendly to others just because they are working together.

Enemies:
Most important enemy of Walkers is the Raffens, Shivs, or outcasts of nomad clans. They were cast out for a reason. They were exiled for a purpose. And for that reason, he nearly always refuses to work with groups that accept them. Such notable groups are the Wraths who have a couple locations outside Night City.
