 [[Mercy Thompson Series]] #2: [[Blood Bound]]
   * all Mercy knew about being a walker is what the werewolves could tell her, which wasn't much
-  *
 ====Iron Kissed====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #3: [[Iron Kissed]]
+  * not many people still remember what a walker is
+  * bringing a walker to a fae reservation might not have been as good an idea as you thought
+  * a walker; there aren't many of the native preternatural species left—so you belong nowhere
+  * walkers are rare; if there are other walkers around Mercy hasn't met one yet
 ====Bone Crossed====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #4: [[Bone Crossed]]
+  * among the werewolves, the knowledge of the walker, the coyote shapeshifter, who'd been raised by Bran, was well known
+  * suspected that controlling ghosts came with practice
 ====Silver Borne====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #5: [[Silver Borne]]
+  * N/A
 ====River Marked====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #6: [[River Marked]]
+  * Mercy can shift into a coyote whenever she wants to
+  * "avatar" is more accurate than "walker"
+  * Mercy only knew what she knew about walkers from what Bran told her; and he hadn't known much—or he'd told her exactly as much as he intended to
+  * Mercy met two more walkers; hawks
+  * not all walkers are alike
+  * Mercy is immune to the mark of the [[River Devil]] because [[Coyote]] killed it the first time
+  * aren't any more Thunderbird walkers; certain that he would never return with no one to anchor him
 ====Frost Burned====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #7: [[Frost Burned]]
+  * a walker is the name given to those who are descendants of Coyote, Raven, Hawk, or any of the other archetypes who once walked the land
+  * a witch is different from walker; more powerful
+  * too many walkers had died before they could pass on their knowledge to their heirs, and much of it was lost
 ====Night Broken====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #8: [[Night Broken]]
+  * [[Hank Owens]] was Mercy's information source for most of what she knew about being a  walker<sup>32</sup>
+  * most of the coyote walkers have trouble with the law<sup>80</sup>
+  * [[Gary Laughingdog]] was the first ever coyote walker that Mercy met<sup>85</sup>
+  * all walkers are descended from the archetypal being whos shape they take<sup>85</sup>
+  * usually brother and sister walkers are con artists, thieves, and gamblers; not too concerned with saving anyone's hide except their own<sup>88</sup>
+  * had met a few other walkers through the Owens', and they seemed to come in all varieties of young and old<sup>89</sup>
+  * most walkers age like humans—most are mostly human; Coyote doesn't walk this ground much anymore<sup>89</sup>
+  * most of Coyote's children don't have to worry about a long life anyway; a fool and his life are soon parted<sup>89</sup>
+  * Mercy felt no regret if there was no choice in killing someone; maybe it was being a walker or maybe being a predator<sup>158</sup>
 ====Fire Touched====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #9: [[Fire Touched]]
+  * N/A
 ====Silence Fallen====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #10: [[Silence Fallen]]
+  * death walker: one who has power over the dead<sup>339</sup>
+  * the dead obeyed Mercy, no matter how much she tried to ignore that<sup>350</sup>
 ====Storm Cursed====
+[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #11: [[Storm Cursed]]
+  * walkers are sensitive to magic
+  * Mercy didn't know if she could recognize another walker; she hadn't met enough of them to be sure<sup>208</sup>
+  * was able to recognize one later<sup>217</sup>
+  *
 ====Smoke Bitten====
+======Walkers & The Undead======
+=====Walkers & Ghosts======
+[[Blood Bound]]
+  * speak to ghosts
+[[River Marked]]
+  * thought all walkers could see the dead
+[[Night Broken]]
+  * other walkers that Mercy had met hadn't been able to see ghosts the way she could; it made sense that Gary could because he was a coyote shifter
+====Mercy & Ghosts====
+[[Mercy & Ghosts]]
+=====Walkers & Vampires=====
+[[Blood Bound]]
+  * not so vulnerable to their magic
+  * only a threat for a couple of decades and that centuries ago
+  * not popular among the vampires
+  * when the vampires first came to this part of the New World, the walkers here had made themselves enough of a pest that the vampires had killed most of them off
+  * most vampire magic doesn't work on them
+  * has seen walkers ignore far more dangerous magics
+  * supposed to be good at killing vampires
+  * may have taught vampires to fear them, but there are still a lot of vampires, and only one walker
+  * [[Andre]] was around when the walkers nearly drove the vampires out of the Western territories; shocked that Mercy found [[Cory Littleton]] so soon
+  * the reason vampires feared walkers was that they were resistant to vampire magics and could talk to ghosts
+[[Iron Kissed]]
+  * not many walkers because the vampires killed them all
+  * maybe [[James Blackwood]] wanted something from a walker; he despaired of ever finding another walker
+  * the last walker he had died fifty years ago; was kept for six-three years
+  * Blackwood's talent allows him to feed from a supernatural and absorb their abilities; he wants a walker so he can control the ghost of his maker
+[[River Marked]]
+  * aren't any more Thunderbird walkers; certain that he would never return with no one to anchor him
+[[Frost Burned]]
+  * vampires do not like walkers
+  * they see ghosts and ghosts congregate around the daytime resting places of vampires, betraying the presence of the monster who killed them
+  * almost entirely resistant to the standard magic of vampires
+  * when vampires came to the New World, they were met by walkers and nearly destroyed; if disease and war had not decimated the Indians—and thus the walkers—there would be no vampires in the Americas
+  * being resistant to vampire magic didn't mean a walker was a match for one
+  * [[Marsilia]] knew a lot about walkers; she'd seen them kill vampires, lots of vampires
+  * walkers are immune to vampire magic—even vampire magic that has its orgins in witchcraft
+[[Night Broken]]
+  * blood bound walker to a vampire; could be a tame walker<sup>270</sup>
+[[Silence Fallen]]
+  * the walkers, the children of the ancient ones, hunted down a lot of vampires in the American frontier during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; they ultimately failed, and the vampires exterminated most of the walkers<sup>22</sup>
