Biography
Origin
Allen Walker (Japanese: アレン・ウォーカー, Hepburn: Aren Wōkā)
Whilst training under Master Cross, he had to hone his skills in whatever way to pay his debts and earn a living for himself. A result of this time meant he learnt to play card games and was able to cheat in such games.
Exorcist
He then arrived at the Order's headquarters where initially the Gatekeeper mistook him for being an accomplice of the Millennium Earl due to the Pentacle Mark on his left eye. This resulted in Yu Kanda battling Walker in an effort to what he perceived to be an enemy. This was until Allen noted that a letter of recommendation had been sent to Komui Lee by General Cross with this clearing the misunderstanding. Allen then was invited by Lenalee Lee into the Order's headquarters and offered to take his anti-Akuma weapon to be fixed after it was damaged by Kanda. During an examination of his Innocence, Komui noted that it was a parasite type with him helping to repair it in a process that was painful to Walker. Komui Lee was then taken to meet Hevlaska where initially he mistook her for a monster but she was a guardian of the Black Order's Cube of Innocence that contained the warning about the Millennium Earl.
This seemingly saw Suman turned back to normal where he returned to a somewhat human form with Allen happy that he had saved his fellow exorcist. However, he came to find his body lifeless as his soul was gone with Walker intending to take it back to home. It was then that a swarm of dark butterflies had arrived where they consumed his body with Walker then being confronted by one of the Noah named Tyki Mikk. From Suman's memories, Allen knew that this was the person responsible for Suman becoming a Fallen One. Despite Allen attempting to fight back, he was too exhausted and unable to fight the powerful Noah who ripped off Walker's arm. Tyki came to learn that his target was Allen Walker and proceeded to destroy his Innocence as well as pulled out his heart. Allen had Timcanpy take Suman's Innocence away to safety whilst he was left for dead. Unknown to anyone, his Innocence did not dissipate after it was shattered but instead formed a fog around his body where it repaired his heart. This allowed him to survive long enough to be discovered by a warrior named For from the Asia Branch. She took him back to her headquarters where he managed to recover and regain consciousness. Whilst at the Asia Branch, he was introduced to the Black Order personnel at the site where Allen was in despair at the thought of not being able to save others from the Akuma. Seeing his spirit to continue fighting, the head of the branch decided to help him become an exorcist once again. Walker was then informed that his Innocence had not been destroyed but was reduced to particles that he needed to summon back again. Thus, with For, he underwent training to help him call forth his Innocence.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Whilst his cursed eye was a great tool, he did rely on it greatly in order to distinguish Akuma from humans. As such, after his eye was injured the first time he panicked when he was in a crowd as he did not know which were genuine humans and which were Akuma. This nearly resulted in his death when an Akuma approached him in its human form with him being saved by Lavi. Initially, he was opposed to the idea of treating everyone as a potential Akuma. However, he then remembered the words of his master namely the reason they wore the uniform of an exorcist. This meant that they openly showed themselves as agents of the Black Order to draw Akuma to them. Thus, anyone that approached them directly was an enemy. Allen stated that he never understood this lesson of his master until he could not use his cursed eye.
A close father figure to him was Mana Walker who had helped raise Allen.
Powers and abilities
He never lost in a card game and was able to easily win against other poker players as well as cheat in such games.
Walkers left eye was similarly cursed and typically appeared normal. However, when an Akuma was present whereupon it went dark with a symbol that resembled a targeting reticule. Once active, Allen gained the ability to see Akuma that were hiding in human form. As such, it proved a valuable tool as normally exorcists were unable to tell the difference between a disguised Akuma and a human. If injured, the was shown to be able to heal quickly and recover from wounds faster than an ordinary human. After the incident at Krory's castle, it was said that his eye was starting to evolve and change.
As an exorcist, his greatest weapon was his Anti-Akuma weapon that manifested on his left arm called Cross (十字架クロス, Kurosu?, lit. Cross Stand). This was Innocence that was a parasite type that when activated took the form of a large extendable silver clawed hand. Its large form could shield either Allen or others from attack or could be extended to attack foes. A further evolution of the arm called Cross β (beta) was its ability to morph into a cannon that fired numerous projectiles for long distance fire.
In one case, his Innocence ripped from his arm and seemingly destroyed but instead it remained in particle form with it helping to repair fatal injuries to his body.
