Walt Arbogast

Walt, a character in the Wake the Dead series, is Skyweld's foreman and Minna's father. Although he is first seen in Chapter 7, his name is not revealed until Chapter 8.

Appearance
Walt has short grey hair, a long grey beard, tanned skin and brown eyes. He wears a ripped and muddy grey shirt with a leather brown apron.

Personality
According to his daughter Minna, Walt is overprotective as a father. He's also very careful when letting others into Skyweld, but at the same time he's very helpful and hospitable because he's willing to cut a deal with you and your colony, and suggests you hang out at the pub and stay the night.

Background
Walt has been in Skyweld ever since the outbreak started, and he was only an apprentice ironworker back then. When he and the rest of the construction workers realised that it wasn't safe on the ground anymore, they built Skyweld given that they already had the place at their disposal.

Your Character
When you and your team go to the construction site, he tells you to turn back. He is Skyweld's foreman. You propose an alliance with him and his builders, and he accepts on the condition you retrieve some argon shield gas for them. He also tells you to take care of Minna and bring her back in one piece. If you choose to save Minna first, he's grateful and offers to come with Minna and a couple of other workers to your colony to pick up the food and help you with the constructions. If you choose to save Shannon on the other hand, he demands to come along with some others at your colony because he doesn't trust you and to make sure that you'll keep the end of your deal. In Chapter 10, he and his daughter give you tips on where to find fuel.

Minna Arbogast
Minna is Walt's daughter, and they seem to have a loving relationship. If you save Shannon instead of Minna, he holds a grudge against you and blames you for losing her hand, but Minna defends you and tells him that she was surrounded by drones and that you saved her.
