Walter Alston is a former priest and a half-demon, like his mentor Robert Vasic. Walter, rebelling against his mentors teachings, considers Robert to be his arch-nemesis. It is only Walter who feels this way, as Robert is only merely disappointed in his former pupil. Rather than learning about demons through studies, Alston instead summons them. Something which he is quite good at. He is also always willing to summon any demon for someone should they ask, but for a price. He makes a good living from it, judging from his nice home.

- Walter Emmons Alston (* 1. Dezember 1911 in Venice, Ohio; † 1. Oktober 1984 in Oxford, Ohio) war ein US-amerikanischer Baseballspieler und -manager in der Major League Baseball. Sein Spitzname war Smokey.
- A reporter once asked Alston about his playing record; he said, "Well, I came up to bat for the Cards back in '36, and Lon Warneke struck me out. That's it." (He also played first base--two fielding chances, one error.) Alston won seven National League pennants in his 23 years tenure as Dodgers manager. In 1955 he led Brooklyn to the pennant and its only World Series championship; the team repeated as National League champions in 1956. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, Alston led the team to pennants in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966 and 1974, and three more world championships (1959, 1963, 1965). He was the first Dodger manager to win a World Series. He is the only manager to participate in 2 tie-breaker playoffs, defeating the Milwaukee Braves 2 games to none in 1959, and losing 2 games to 1 in 1962 to the San Francisco Giants. His uniform number 24 was retired by the Dodgers. Named Manager of the Year six times, Alston also guided a victorious NL All-Star squad a record seven times. He retired after the 1976 season with 2,063 wins (2,040 in the regular season and 23 in the postseason). As a manager, Alston was noted for his studious approach to the game (he had taught school in the off-season while in the minors) and for signing 23 one-year contracts with the Dodgers at a time when multi-year contracts were becoming the norm in the sport. Walter Alston was selected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983 along with Third-baseman (and AL batting champion) George Kell. He is a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and died in Oxford at the age of 72 in 1984 from the after-effects of a heart attack suffered in 1983.
- Walter Alston was a major league baseball player and manager. He was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager.
