Short film

Walter Beckett is a British American C.I.A. junior agent responsible for protecting a top-secret suitcase that contains an explosive device, but such a suitcase is stolen by a pigeon unleashing a day of destruction and persecution between the characters. Little is known about Beckett other than what is found on his identification card that appears for a few seconds on the screen.

Animated film

Son of police officer Wendy Beckett born in '78 who died on duty in 2009, Walter has always been a tech genius, looking to create gadgets that could help your mother in your work. After being orphaned he became somewhat reclusive in relation to other humans, having as a friend your ESA and pet, the female pigeon Lovey.

The two share a house in Alexandria, Washington where Walter spends most of her day inventing new gadgets, and watching South Korean dramas, such as the fictional Hearts in Seoul. He graduated from MIT at age 15, being one of the youngest students, later joining the work for the spy agency H.T.U.V. where he meets Lance Sterling "the world's most awesome spy".

Shipping

There are almost no het pairings involving Walter, the majority being slash relationships. The main pairing is Walter Beckett/Lance Sterling, followed by Walter Beckett/Killian. There is a small rarity of work involving Walter Beckett/Lovey, with Lovey in a human version, or with Walter and his female pigeon in their respective bird versions. Even rarer is the pairing Walter Beckett/Lance Sterling/Lovey, that following the same premise as the previous ship can involve all three characters as humans or as birds.
