The post war years are a huge booming time for America. The economy surges, the baby boom is in full swing and the country settles into a time of peace and prosperity only broken briefly by the Korean war which is largely forgotten as soon as it ends.
During the immediate post war era Walters criminal empire continues to rise. He uses the opportunity to recruit capable and battle hardened men as enforcers and thugs and the black market continues to thrive. Over this time the underground also grows a reputation of being a very dangerous place. People who conduct a fair business in the black market are unaccosted but those who cheat or steal or delve too far underground vanish or are found wandering the streets their minds broken and splintered.
During this time the police show less and less interest in the Denny Regrade and start to actively avoid it. The take on the attitude that so long as the crime that dwells there does not spill into the streets above they are happy to let the criminals kill each other below ground. They do on occasion conduct a large raid to "clean out the Denny Regrade". These raids catch several low level black marketeers and criminals who are paraded in front of the media but are largely for show and to keep the people happy that the police are doing their jobs.
Walter can be found at nearly every Gathering of kindred and at every Elysium Gathering. In the early post war times he is the usual dapper gentlemen people have come to expect with a black suit and cane. Over time though and unusually for a kindred his style and mannerisms adapt to the age. He dresses more casually to blend with the mortal population although his manner when speaking to kindred remains unchanged.
