History: Walden grew up with both of his parents as scientists, Walden had science thrust upon him from an early age, he didn't mind studying it but he ended up falling in love with the study of biology. Walden loved learning about the bodies of many different species which lived in the world. His parents suggested to him that he become a doctor and he agreed, Walden began studying medicine along side biology as he wanted to help people. One day during a walk to to the shops Walden came across a man on the beach who was in excruciating pain and covered in blood. As Walden picked him up he was attacked by the local marines. Walden ran with the man despite the fact that the star on his back was being shot at. By the time Walden lost the marines and returned home he realised the star on his back was damaged heavily and he could see and feel blood seeping from it. Walden then began treating the man's wounds and nursing him back to health. When the man was healthy enough to speak Walden asked him why the marines didn't want him to save him and he was told that this man was a notorious pirate who'd lost his crew and ship in a battle with the marines. Walden understood and didn't want to leave this man to be attacked again. Walden offered the man his help to return to the open seas as a pirate. When Walden woke up the next morning he discovered his star had grown back. Walden helped the man to steal a row boat and set sail with him on the open seas at the age of 20. Amazed and astounded by the DNA of a starfish Walden began experimenting with his genes trying to find out what it was that caused him to regenerate and not humans or any other living species. Walden spent many years travelling with the man gaining a crew and the longer he spent with him the more and more he learnt. Walden knew this man would need his help at sea and when ever he was in a fight Walden stood forward to do the fighting, Walden became tougher and stronger and as appointed the doctor/scientist and body guard of the captain. Walden was happy with this title. He gained a small bounty for obstruction of justice. Eventually came the day when Walden was beaten and left for dead, as his captain and crew vanished. Walden was left alone, weak, beaten battered and bloody, he did what he could to patch himself together using whatever items he could get his hands on on the island and waited for crew to pass by so he could climb aboard and hitch a ride.
