William moves through life with an open heart and an unshakable sense of wonder. His devotion to those he loves is wholehearted and sincere; once he cares, he is unwaveringly loyal. He admires his father deeply and has been equally shaped by the sea. Growing up in a costal fishing village that never quite knew what to make of him, William developed a hunger for the wider world. He is a devout believer in folklore and in constant pursuit of a good story. Empathetic and endlessly curious, he asks questions to achieve understanding—sometimes to his own detriment. William is driven by a desire to leave others better than he found them—a lover of stories, people, and possibility.
