<!-- ISTP "The Commander" - https://www.16personalities.com/entj-strengths-and-weaknesses -->
Armed with a powerful intellect and strategic thinking, Walter can overcome or outmanoeuvre obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. He is characterised by an often ruthless level of rationality, using his drive, determination and sharp mind to achieve whatever end he has set for himself. In any kind of conflict, he can be dominant, relentless, and unforgiving. This isn't because he is coldhearted or vicious per se — on the contrary, he feels very deeply — but that he genuinely enjoys the challenge and the battle of wits, and if the other side can't keep up, that is no reason for him to fold on success.
He respects anyone who is able to stand up to him intellectually, and who is able to act with a precision and quality equal to his own. Walter has a particular skill in recognizing the talents of others, building efficient and capable teams equal to the tasks they encounter, and enjoys mentoring and developing those with promise. However, he also has a particular skill in calling out others' failures with a spectacular degree of insensitivity, and he will simply crush those he views as inefficient, incompetent or lazy.
He is not an easy man to be friends with, often as demanding in personal relationships as he is in professional ones, but anyone who can keep up with him intellectually will find an honest and dedicated friend. Over the years, he has slowly learnt to recognise and adapt to the needs of his friends and loved ones, and understands that even the most rational individuals have emotional needs that must be met.

Walter usually works out of his ready room on the Triumphant.  It is the epitome of efficiency; neat at all times, regardless of workload and completely lacking in any personal touches, except for a sturdy (often partially empty) decanter set.

Aeva and Walter met aboard the USS Luxembourg, shortly after he had been posted there as the Assistant Chief Tactical Officer. Aeva was then a medical officer and one of the few people who tolerated his sharp tongue, finding amusement rather than annoyance in it.

I know formality comes very hard to you, Walter, but you’re not a chief tactical officer any more.  You’re a Starfleet Captain, and you’ve got to keep your crew at arms length.  Be friendly with them.  Even be friends with them. But, when it comes down to it, you may be obliged to lay their lives on the line, and you’ve got to do it without a moment’s hesitation.”'' - Rhys to Brunsig<br>
