# Walton — The Head of Kay’s character guide > Walton in The Head of Kay’s by P. G. Wodehouse. **Role:** supporting **First appearance:** 0000-i-mainly-about-fenn ## Snapshot A Kay's boy who patronizes Wren, nurses a grudge against the Silver brothers, and settles camp quarrels with a swagger stick and a blind eye. ## Who they are Walton is the sort of senior who separates a fight and then rebukes only the boy he dislikes, letting his protégé Wren off scot-free. He dislikes Billy Silver partly for his own sake and partly because he has crossed Jimmy before, always with unsatisfactory results. His favoritism and old grudges feed the camp tensions that spill into the raid on the guard tent and keep Kay's politics simmering through the middle of the book. ## Relationships ### [Kennedy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/kennedy) _friendship_ Kennedy and Walton are close friends and fellow prefects, working together to manage the house. ### [Wren](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/wren) _social_ Walton and Wren are fellow students, but their interactions are limited and neutral. ### [Jimmy Silver](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/jimmy_silver) _friendship_ Jimmy Silver and Walton are close friends and co-prefects, working as a team. ### [Kennedy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/kennedy) _friendship_ Kennedy and Walton are close friends and fellow prefects, working together to manage the house. ### [Wren](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/wren) _social_ Walton and Wren are fellow students, but their interactions are limited and neutral. ### [Jimmy Silver](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/jimmy_silver) _friendship_ Jimmy Silver and Walton are close friends and co-prefects, working as a team. ### [Jimmy Silver](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/jimmy_silver) _friendship_ Jimmy Silver and Walton are close friends and co-prefects, working as a team. ### [Wren](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/wren) _social_ Walton and Wren are fellow students, but their interactions are limited and neutral. ### [Kennedy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/kennedy) _friendship_ Kennedy and Walton are close friends and fellow prefects, working together to manage the house. ## In the story ### [III: The Final House-Match](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/iii-the-final-house-match) Opens for Kay's, hits a boundary but is caught behind off Kennedy's bowling for a quick dismissal. ### [Camp](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/v-camp) Listed as one of the rowdy Kay's members at camp. ### [VI: The Raid on the Guard Tent](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/vi-the-raid-on-the-guard-tent) Separates a fight between Wren and Billy Silver, rebukes Billy with a swagger stick; later plans and executes the raid on the guard tent with Perry and Leveson. ### [A Clue](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/vii-a-clue) Has a scratch on his right cheek; claims Perry caused it, but Kennedy suspects him of the raid. ### [VIII: A Night Adventure: The Dethronement of Fenn](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/viii-a-night-adventure-the-dethronement-of-fenn) Suspected by Kennedy of being involved in the guard tent raid; behaves suspiciously around Kennedy. ### [The Senior Dayroom Opens Fire](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xi-the-senior-dayroom-opens-fire) Senior who hates Kennedy; reportedly went down town instead of playing. ### [XII: Kennedy Interviews Walton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xii-kennedy-interviews-walton) Revealed as the instigator of the house match sabotage, agrees to fight Kennedy. ### [The Fight in the Dormitory](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xiii-the-fight-in-the-dormitory) Opponent in the fight; uses aggressive tactics and commits a foul. ### [XIV: Fenn Receives a Letter](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xiv-fenn-receives-a-letter) Too battered from his fight with Kennedy to play in the match. ### [A Vain Quest](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xviii-a-vain-quest) Kept in by his form-master, sends Wren to buy luxuries. ### [The Guile of Wren](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xix-the-guile-of-wren) Advises Wren to lie about getting leave from Fenn. ### [Kay's Changes Its Name](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/chapters/xxii-kay-s-changes-its-name) Departs for a bank job, to his disgust. ## Links - HTML: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters/walton - Book: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se - All characters: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_head_of_kay_s_se/characters
