Walks-with-Death was so named because on the day he was born, his mother died during childbirth, and his father died in a failed raid. That and his albino skin gave him his name, and his nickname Khaatun, which was a mythological spirit of death form an old Walker story. Against all reason, when Khaatun was 9, he decided to learn English as well as the normal tribe dialect. There was one wizened veteran Stalker who had learnt English from years of spying on guards. Khaatun's lessons were slow, but when he was about 12, he could speak English well enough for regular people could understand him.

He grew up strong, quick and very brave, and was an obvious addition to the Hunters warrior caste. He got his first Hunter tattoo at the age of 16, and full four years before the average. He fought fiercely for the Walkers for many years, eventually planning and leading his own ambushes and attacks. By the age of 26, the Chief of the tribe, Walks-with-Shadows, gave him a challenge. Kill the current Master of Hunting in a duel, Khaatun gets the title, and a place as one of the Chief's nine bodyguards.

The fighting was a long one and intense, Khaatun had a short-handed wood-cutting axe, when the Master wielded the Engraved Machete that was the official weapon of the title. The Master of the Hunting eventually tired, for he was old. He lunged forwards in a last ditch attempt to cut Khaatun's heart out. Khaatun deflected the blow as best he could, but the blade still dug deep. He used the moment the Master took to wrench the blade out of Khaatun's chest, Khaatun reach forwards and snapped the Masters neck.

When he had recovered, he took on the duties of Master of Hunting and a personal bodyguard of the Chief, who taught Khaatun how to shoot himself. After a while, a pretty Seeker around Khaatun's age walked up to him, and declared they were going to be bonded. Being outspoken in Walker society is very rare, and Khaatun's natural sense of obediance led him to accept. The girl, Walks-with-Thorns and he were bonded shortly after. When Khaatun was 28, Walks-with-Thorns gifted him a son. Khaatun was so happy he removed his mask and openly wept with the baby in his hands, which was met with a great deal of confusion.

Khaatun spent a lot of time away from camp during all this, the war with the Guards kept him busy, and he was leading multiple raids and ambushes very week.
