Appearance

Walken is a tall, powerfully built Native American man whose long dark hair hangs unkempt. A perpetual scowl, thick jagged brows, and pointed teeth give his face a fierce cast. He goes bare-chested beneath a fur jacket, wears plain trousers and arm guards, and keeps a headset-like device clamped over his ears that reins in his psychic power.

Personality

As a Skookum warrior by blood, Walken feels bound to seek out worthy opponents and counts Baoh among them; when a foe earns his respect, he traces a mark into his own chest with a fingertip to honor it. In Doress's service he is coldly ruthless, having gruesomely killed the failed assassin Dorudo by shaking every molecule of his body apart. Once his full power breaks loose he grows wildly violent, slaughtering everyone nearby and fixating on revenge against Ikuro.

Abilities

Walken is reckoned the mightiest psychic on Earth, able to command matter both up close and across a wide area. His psychokinesis vibrates molecules to liquefy or disintegrate whatever he targets, serving equally as a shield against attacks he can see coming and as a weapon that reshapes anything he touches. With his Molecular Air-Motion Wave he flings a sphere of quivering air to tear an enemy apart, while his Molecular Seismic Wave melts the ground or a wall to trap a foe, a technique powerful enough to bore a pit a kilometer deep through solid rock. Clairvoyance lets him sense where any person is, which he turns to hunting down Doress's enemies. His body far exceeds human limits as well, enduring Baoh's Dark Thunder and surviving one of Baoh's arm blades lodged in his skull, though not without brain damage.
