William de Tonge

== Introduction ==
William de Tonge is the direct ancestor of Conner. He is still kicking and is around today due to Gerricks corruption.
== Battle of Rothbury ==
in 1092 the Kingdom of England declared war on the Kingdom of Scotland in order to take the land of Sutherland off of them. William who had set up several trading connections with the Scots and built up relations of trust was angered by the king whom he promised would not attack Scotland betrayed his trust. So William decided to round up all of the followers of his he could and rebelled against the kingdom of England, thus started the battle of Rothbury in 1092. This was an overwhelming defeat to William and his followers. Estimates on this battle on the death toll average around 3000 for William's side and 230 for the English. After the battle William was imprisoned for crimes against the crown and was sentenced to death. When the day came for William to be executed he saw a dark shadow standing on the gallows which no one seemed to notice. William felt compelled to run towards the shadow. And, somehow he managed to break though his chains with sheer strength and rushed towards the shadow. As he ran inside of it a dark power started to course through William, a man's voice could be heard echoing throughout his head. "G..." "Gerr..." "GERRICK KILL" William felt pure bloodlust overpower him as he became a being of pure strength and fury. He cut through all of the English soldiers. William ended up killing over 100,000 English soldiers that day. Despite the war for Sutherland having ended in an English victory, the deathtoll of the aftermath incurred by William's wrath destroyed the nation economically and literally. (he also killed the king)
== Meeting Gerrick ==
William with Gerrick who has came inside of him had calmed down majorly after he had finished his conquest. The civillians of England who are now without a government or a king turned to William. Asking his demands, wanting to know if he wanted the throne or not. William just said "No. not me..." and walked across the English channel to Calais where he found a house painted black and playing stupidly obviously menacing organ music. William walked inside and was met by an elderly looking man with obscene proportions. "HELLO" shouted the old man who was standing 2 cm from William's face. "Who are you? why are you coming inside of me" "I GERRICK HELLO" "ME NO GOOD SPEAK ME VIOLENCE YOU POWER OF MINE IN YOU FIGHT ME WITH" "I suppose I don't have anywhere else to go, so okay M'liege" 
and this is how William became gerrik right hand
