### Debut

The Walten Files 1 - Company Introductory Tape

Jack Walten was born on September 23, 1932. He attended Cleary University in Livingston County. In 1958, he and Felix Kranken, a fellow student, came up with the idea of animatronic entertainers. He graduated and married Rosemary Walten in 1959. The latter giving birth to his first child, Sophie Walten, in 1960. His second child, Edd, was born on May 15, 1962 and his third, Molly, was born on August 22, 1965.

In August of 1965, Felix and Jack proposed the idea of Bon's Burgers to the Cybertech Fun corporation and were approved.

On May 2nd, 1974, Jack was busy with work and Rosemary was busy taking Sophie to the dentist, so he called Felix to ask him to pick up his two younger children, Edd and Molly, and bring them to a school party, then get them back home at 9 pm. Felix seemed reluctant at first, but agreed when Jack explained the situation.

During the school party, Felix left the children on their own, and wandered off to the Cafeteria which had a drinking zone, where he drank excessively. Molly and Ed, after finding him, question his condition, but they still have to go home, since it had already been over an hour since Felix was supposed to drive them home.

On the way to the Waltens', Felix lost control of the car, killing both children in the crash immediately, and burying them in Saint Juana's Forest. Jack is heard near the end of the flashback sequence of BunnyFarm, frantically calling Felix dozens of times and berating him in voice messages, worried sick about his children who were supposed to be home hours ago.

Jack Walten was last seen on June 11, 1974.

## Personality

Not much is known about his personality, but he seems to be calm judging by his phone calls with Felix, although he gets enraged when it comes to his children.

Martin Walls has said he is extroverted and that he can be intimidating when he wants to be.

## Relationships

### Felix Kranken

Felix Kranken and Jack Walten are close friends who met in cleary university. They bonded over wanting to start an animatronic themed restaurant and eventually their shared dream became a reality and that made them both the owners and founders of Bon’s Burgers. Their relationship takes a sharp turn when Felix got into a crash due to being blackout drunk and accidentally killed Jack’s two youngest children, Molly and Edd Walten. Soon after that, Jack went missing.

The two would go to bars to hang out. Bon's Burgers is the two's only common interest.
