Walter Stephenson loves his son Freddy, perhaps far too much. After the death of his wife and severe health problems early on in Freddy’s life, Walter encouraged his disabled son’s love of puppet-making, helping him to carve his wooden creations and playing into his own Mythoi connection to Pinocchio’s Geppetto. However, Walter has struggled to find happiness in the face of the tragedies he and Freddy have suffered, pouring his sadness and rage into a particularly dark habit: murder.
