Background
Ten years ago, his mother and younger sister who had been returning from his grandparents’ house were captured by the Arslan Brigand who were based around Arslan Valley. His father, Kali Owells, refused to pay the ransom demanded and didn't even organize a troop and march to save his family. Instead, he was busy flattering Duke Bradley Webster who was visiting the Pavor Castle on that day. On the day his wife and daughter were kidnapped, Kali Owells was doing all sorts of flattering in order to climb up to a higher place. In the end, his mother and younger sister were killed after going through all kinds of suffering. He realized that his father threw away his mother and sister so easily because he, the firstborn who would lead the house even if everyone else died, was there. But that very choice’s reason pained and haunted him all his life.

While his father's eyes had gone dark from ambition, Io Lancephil had looked after and raised him.

Previous Timeline
He was most likely killed by Kali Owells after he refused to take part in his rebellion and instead stood against him.

Current Timeline
He requested his girlfriend, Mary Tate, to take him to visit Roan after tales of Roan's use of ingenious tactics to defeat Orc Commander Violin spread throughout the kingdom. There, he discussed strategy for a long time with Roan. Even Roan was impressed by his talent and began wondering why he had never heard of Walter Owells in his past life. Then, he surmised that he might have died before he could display his talent to the world.

After Kali Owells started a rebellion, Walter Owells rushed to the Landingham Barony where he joined up with the Lancephil Guardian Army to protect the Lancephil County from his own traitorous father. Even though he was ostracized by everyone there, he remained in the army. Despite his great talents such that he was in talks of being the valedictorian of Pavor Academy, he was given the post of a mere foot soldier. After Roan appeared, he sent Walter Owells to infiltrate Kali Owells' Forces.

To successfully infiltrate Owells Forces, Walter Owells made up stories about how he hates Roan who took away his succession right and that he wished to become the Count since "even a commoner bastard was able to do so." To guarantee the success of this mission, Roan kept Walter Owells' identity a secret from even the Lancephil Guardian Army which resulted in him being disgraced by them. To win Kali Owells' trust, Walter Owells fought seven battles and won all seven of them. This was mainly due to Roan secretly providing him with some secrets beforehand.

At the decisive Battle of Arslan Valley, Kali Owells gave Walter Owells a separate legion and ordered him to situate himself at the back of Tale Legion and ambush them when they retreat east within Arslan Valley. Walter Owells, however, was secretly working for Roan. Still, he didn't have his soldiers' loyalty so he followed Roan's plan of fooling his troop into believing that Roan was employing the same strategy as when he ambushed Baron Elton Coat by having his soldiers don the armors of the defeated Byron Kingdom soldiers. To counter this, he made wear a blue cloth on their arms and stated that only the soldiers with a blue cloth are their allies. Roan had the Tale Legion do the same. This led to Kali Owells' Forces believing that the soldiers with blue cloth on their arms are their enemies and, as a result, Kali Owells' Forces ended up attacking their own allies. During the battle, he went around killing the officers above the rank of adjutant so as to allow the chaotic situation to continue. Before Kali Owells realized the situation, he secretly escaped from the battle and waited in a place where Roan predicted Kali Owells would run towards. He then ambushed him and dismounted him by tripping his horse. The two then fought and Kali Owells was surprised by his son's amazing skill. Just when it seemed like the battle would end in mutual destruction, Walter Owells' resolve shook and he dropped his sword. Kali Owells' eyes also wavered and end he cut off Walter Owells' arm. He then stabbed his sword in Walter Owells abdomen and crippled his mana before escaping.

Four days later, the Tale Legion and Lancephil Legion entered Pavor Castle after conquering all the surrounding castles. During the procession, some citizens noticed Walter Owells entering and threw rocks at him. Roan defended him and got hit by a rock on his forehead. He then declared that Walter is his knight. Then, the 1000-Man Commanders declared that Walter is their brother.

After returning from Miller Castle, Roan took Walter Owells to Theturn Village and made him the disciple of Steel Warrior Higgs' master so that he may become the Steel Warrior instead.
