Walter Burns (MLU)

Walter Burns was a minor character and an Antagonist in "MLU".
Alongside his companion Nash Knight, they are a small group of notorious criminals whose sole mission in this world is to liberate various vehicles and vessels from the hands of their rightful owners. That is, they have resorted to a life of petty crimes, deprived of love and respect as they are.
Walter serves as one of the two Main Antagonists of "Miracula Luxia: Symphony of Despair" (Alongside Nash Knight).
== Personality ==
Walter is an erratic and deceitful individual with a tainted heart. As a thief and outlaw, he is capable of lying his way through a situation, not caring whether this is the right thing to do or not. It's in his blood to be evil as he is now.
Unlike most villains throughout the "Miracula Luxia" stories, Walter dislikes putting his own allies at risk with his actions. However, he still deems it necessary, due to the fact that his greed clouds his sense of judgement and prevents him from thinking properly. Because of this, he is also slightly indecisive, unsure whether he should take a risk and endanger his allies or to be a coward and save his own skin. This has caused a lot of backlash from his colleagues who deem him incapable of being strong against heroic entities.
In addition, deep inside, Walter is also a deranged madman and an arsonist. He enjoys watching the flames of "justice" burn around him, not caring whether he has been caught between them or not. Ever since he was a child, he has always wanted to watch the world burn. And this is his chance to make it happen.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Ship Explosion (Indirectly Caused)
* Blood Loss (Caused)
Walter manages to survive the ship's explosion and escapes into the water before he is caught in the fire. However, a small part of the ship cuts his right shoulder, causing severe blood loss and weakness for the ship robber.
Although he does his best to bandage up the wound before it gets worse, the blood loss makes him weaker, eventually causing his demise at the hands of his enemies.
* Stella (Infected, Caused)
After a brief skirmish with Will and Geralt, Walter attempts to shoot them both down. However, before he can even get close, the undead Stella finds her way into the area and pounces on him, saving her boyfriend's life.
Walter attempts to put her down, but he does not know the right way to kill an undead. Thus, Stella tears into his stomach and rips it open, causing an irreversible blood loss and making him too distracted to pay attention to his enemies.
Eventually, Stella, fully satisfied, leaves the dying Walter alone, mortally wounded and unable to be saved by anyone, let alone himself.
* William Kaos
After Walter starts taunting Will and Geralt, the young boy grows tired of his ranting. Believing that this villain has caused too much pain to his loved ones and the people around them, he decides to put an end to his existence. In a painful way.
Channeling his inner energy, Will touches the dying Walter's forehead. Suddenly, his brain starts to melt, making him yell out in pain as his entire body starts to shut down due to the pressure of the procedure.
Soon, there is nothing left of the villain's brain. He perishes moments later, unable to come back in any way.

* A few tribesmen
* A ship crewmember

== Trivia ==
* Walter's name is of German origin. It means "commander of the army".
* Walter is the last human antagonist in "MLU" to die.
* Walter's surname is a nod to his Element- FIRE.
* Walter's last encounter with Stella is somewhat ironic. When she was alive, he shot her in the stomach and allowed her to bleed out and, eventually, reanimate into an Undead. However, when Stella came back, she was the one who attacked him (as her walker self) and tore his stomach open, leaving him to bleed out painfully. Both of those deaths happened in front of the protagonist at the time- William- although one of them was of a loved one, while the other was of a sworn enemy. Thus, the reactions of both vary drastically.
* Walter is one of the few characters in the "Miracula Luxia" universe overall who have curly hair.
