Walter Greenhill

Walter Greenhill was the third-generation patriarch of the Greenhill Family, and the only son of Frederick Greenhill. He is the father of eight children, including Stuart and Howard Greenhill, and is the grandfather of Richard Greenhill.

Walter was, as are all Greenhills, annoyingly prideful of his name and heritage, carrying his family's legacy and pushing their agenda with an iron fist. He was a strong patriarch, making sure all on the farm were doing their fair share. Though the farm flourished under him, his son Stuart believed that he was too mild-mannered and not demanding enough of some of the more lazy members of the family. Walter held a particular distaste for Stuart's hypocritical mindset, seeing how his son did little to nothing to help on the farm. When Stuart contracted lycanthropy and exposed the secret to his family, Walter was petrified by the revelation -- so much that it didn't take much for Stuart to overthrow his father and take up the place of patriarch himself, even above his two older brothers. Walter would retire in his fifties and reluctantly remained on the farm as to make sure that Stuart's rule did not get out of hand -- and even though it often did, he hadn't the courage to stand up to his son. Around Christmastime in 1980, Walter suddenly died on the kitchen floor after eating dinner that night. Richard was witness to it, and it scarred him for weeks to come. He always remained suspicious that the death was not an accident, judging by Stuart's lack of surprise during the situation.
