Walter Vickers

Walter Vickers was an officer cadet of the UNSC Defense Force.

Biography
A native of Boundary, Vickers attended Corbulo Academy of Military Science during early years of the Human-Covenant War as part of the class of 2529. At some point around the 2525-2526 school year, Vickers took over from Thomas Lasky as the leader of Hastati Squad as a result of Lasky's constant disregard of orders and apparent tactical ineptitude. Despite this, Lasky would continue to do things his own way in combat exercises, to the ire of his squadmates and the Academy staff.

As Lasky did not show any improvement in his behavior, Vickers continuously harassed him, with a comment about Lasky's deceased brother eventually prompting Lasky to attack Vickers in the school's mess hall. Following this incident, Lasky led Hastati Squad in its final field exercise of the 2526 term. Vickers participated in the exercise, and through the use of unconventional tactics and feints, the squad was successful. Following this, Vickers' and Lasky's relationship improved somewhat, even joking to the future-Infinity executive officer that he looked like crap.
