Background

Bill attended Will Knight Academy alongside Colin Russell. His soft voice, feminine mannerisms, and preference for noble company left him with few friends; Colin was one of the exceptions. He was notably well-informed about academy and noble-circle affairs, including the distribution of Bloodline Potions. 2

Following the Bloodline Potion distribution, Bill reported an increase in his speed. When Colin appeared to have failed his own enhancement, Bill tried to secure him a comfortable and lucrative introduction to a Countess, believing Colin could succeed socially even if the Transcendent Path was closed to him. 4 7 8

Bill participated in the Will Knight Academy's field activity and remained alongside Colin during the expedition surrounding the Sword in the Stone and the underground palace. He later trained with the Will City Knight Order and served as Colin's attendant adjutant. 48 51 64 131 143

After the Good Gods' miracle enveloped Will City, Bill displayed a significant life reaction and was identified by the Church of Life as a Chosen of God. Though initially adamant that he would not study theology, he accepted Colin's advice to use the Church's education for strength and status without abandoning his artistic interests. 147 148

Personality

Bill is socially perceptive, connected, and pragmatic. At twelve, he already understood how influence and connections could elevate someone in secular noble society, which led him to seek a patron for Colin after concluding that Colin's knightly future had ended. 8

He is intensely loyal to Colin despite being easily frightened by danger. He defended Colin when Chal insulted him, worried over Colin's apparent insomnia, and stayed at Colin's side during the reconnaissance mission despite fearing the adventurers they encountered. 10 19 50 51

Bill is deeply devoted to fashion, cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, and art. His ambitions originally centered on becoming a lifelong Knight, visiting the Imperial Capital, and working in its fashion industry. Even after agreeing to theological study, he insisted on preserving these hobbies. 8 147 148
