Background
Walter Wayne, a name that echoed through the halls of the prestigious butler academy, was not just any apprentice. Despite his towering height and pallid complexion, he stood out not for his brawn alone, but for his quick wit and surprising intelligence. Born into a family of modest means, Walter's parents had high hopes for their son's future, especially his older sister, Evelyn, whom he admired greatly.
Growing up in the bustling city, Walter found solace in the companionship of his childhood friend, Marcus. Their bond was unbreakable, until Marcus fell into the allure of the underworld, entangled in the web of crime that gripped the city's shadows. Despite their paths diverging, Walter never gave up hope that Marcus would find his way back to the light.
But it was at the butler academy where Walter truly found his calling. Surrounded by the opulence he had only dreamed of, he was drawn to the refined lifestyle of the upper echelons of society. It wasn't just the prospect of wealth that enticed him, but the elegance and sophistication that came with serving the elite.
In the halls of the academy, Walter's intellect shone brightly, often matching wits with his rival, a fellow apprentice named Benedict. Their rivalry fueled them both to excel, pushing each other to the limits of their abilities. Yet, amidst the academic challenges, Walter found an unexpected ally in his roommate, James. Together, they navigated the treacherous waters of their training, devising clever schemes to outmaneuver their tormentor, the taskmaster who harbored a personal vendetta against Walter. Despite his prowess in the finer arts of butlering, Walter harbored a secret passion for the orcish tongue. It was a peculiar choice for a young man of his station, but he saw it as a means to distinguish himself in a world where conformity reigned supreme. And as he gazed upon the lavish estates of the city's wealthiest inhabitants, Walter yearned to serve not just any master, but one aligned with the darker forces that held sway over the city's underworld.
But for all his sophistication and ambition, Walter was not without his flaws. His Achilles' heel lay in the humble potato, a weakness he could never quite overcome. Left unsupervised with a sack of potatoes, he would devour them with a voracious appetite, much to the chagrin of his fellow apprentices.
Now, as he stands on the cusp of adulthood at the age of 23, Walter Wayne is ready to carve his own destiny in the world. With his keen mind, his unwavering determination, and his insatiable appetite for the finer things in life, he strides forth into a world of intrigue and adventure, ready to serve his master with loyalty and grace, and perhaps, to one day redeem the friend he lost to the shadows.
