:: RACE :: Human
:: FAMILY ::
Wife: Charlotte Walker (deceased)
Eldest son: Elliot Walker

:: PERSONALITY ::
Mitchell is a rather proud, charismatic, business savvy man. Mitchell often appears rather busy and impatient, and often this is the case. Mitchell was raised to strive for and to be nothing for the best and that was the lesson he tried to teach his two sons. Zayne was living up to Mitchell’s expectations, but his eldest didn’t seem to be on the same page.
Outside of work, Mitchell is not an uncaring or negligent father, but he spends most of his time away for work, to ensure that his son gets the chance to do and take advantage of every opportunity that he can. Mitchell would never admit it, but being away from home also means avoiding that emptiness and loneliness he feels when home without his wife.
Mitchell has high expectations of himself and Zayne, but he does whatever he can to make sure his boy can reach them.
:: HISTORY ::
During college and for the few years that followed, Mitchell was a rather successful football player. It was a good time in his life, a stage that he often reflected on fondly. Shortly after he retired -a bit earlier than most expected- Mitchell married his high school sweetheart and then pursued a career in the car sales industry. Mitchell was and has always been quite business focused as well as charismatic. He soon discovered that he enjoyed being able to sate and stimulate those parts of him, since he had less opportunities to do so when playing football, even though he considered those years to be a highlight of his life.
After Elliot was born, Mitchell threw himself further into his work, as did Charlotte. The two of them were very financially stable, but Mitchell wanted that and more. He wanted his son to have everything he could ever hope for, since Mitchell had high hopes for his boy and hat he could achieve.
A few years later, Charlotte and Mitchell had their second and final son, Zayne. The young family seemed to do quite well for themselves and soon enough, the boys were at school.
That was when it started to become apparent that Elliot was not cut from the same cloth as Mitchell was. Mitchell tried to raise his boy like he’d been raised, but Elliot just wouldn’t have a bar of it. Zayne however, was just like Mitchell was at his age, save for the quick and sharp wit. That was okay though. Where Mitchell found business intriguing, Zayne seemed more sport and fitness driven. Mitchell could definitely work with that. As for Elliot, Mitchell was at a loss for how to connect with the boy.
Their relationship didn’t improve much and soon enough, Elliot was choosing to stay anywhere but home. No matter how Mitchell tried to approach the boy, he seemed to pull further and further away until he finally just left for good.
Mitchell didn’t hear from Elliot again until shortly after Charlotte’s funeral. He’d heard she’d passed and come home and Mitchell really had been more pleased than he cared to admit that his son was home again. However, while Elliot still stuck around, he rarely stayed at the house, especially once Mitchell was well again. Mitchell wanted Elliot to come home, he was willing to let Elliot do things differently if it meant he came home, but he didn’t know how to approach the boy, so just settled for him being nearby.
