Biography[]
Before arriving at Yellowstone, he worked on the 6666 Ranch in Texas. After the branding, Walker began slacking off on the ranch and refused to partake in some actions with the hands, as well as running his mouth off, frustrating Rip to the point where he wanted him dead. Walker never had his heart set on working or joining in on the fighting. After quitting, Kayce drove him out of state to a train station in Wyoming, warning him never to set foot in Montana again, especially knowing that Rip would have killed him. He was later given a second chance after being discovered singing at a bar. When the hired hands of Yellowstone captured Wade Morrow and killed his son in the process, Rip gave Walker the ultimatum to remove Wade's brand or lose his. Walker went ahead and removed Wade's brand.
When Jimmy Hurdstram was sent with Travis to the Four Sixes for breaking his promise to John Dutton, Walker provided Jimmy some insight and advice about the Four Sixes, stating leaving that ranch was a decision he wished he never made, and advised Jimmy against returning to Yellowstone.
