Billy

Billy is a minor character in Fears to Fathom - Ironbark Lookout. 
== Biography ==
=== Ironbark Lookout ===
Billy is a Park Ranger stationed at Ironbark State Park. Jack Nelson first encounters Billy when arriving at the Ironbark trailhead. He gives Jack a scare when he opens the door to the rangers office and appears suddenly and menacingly with a shotgun. He apologizes to Jack for scaring him and checks on the status of Jack's transfer, informing him that he is stationed at Tower 11 and giving him the keys to the tower. Before Jack begins heading towards his tower, Billy warns him not to travel north of his tower, saying that it is dangerous on account of bears and bobcats that are in the area.
Billy appears later knocking on the door of Tower 11 as Jack was helping the lost hiker on the radio. He gives Jack fresh supplies and checks in on him. He again warns Jack about venturing north of his tower. Upon Jack informing him of the strange happenings, Billy encourages him to take photo evidence of any suspicious behavior so it can be investigated appropriately.
== Personality ==
Billy is no nonsense and seemingly takes his duties seriously. He shows concern for the wellbeing of Jack, instructing him to avoid certain areas of the woods known to be dangerous and refers him to consult with Connor Hawkins in Tower 12 for additional support, as well as checking in on Jack and bringing him supplies in the tower.
Billy seems to be aware of nefarious activity happening in the park and prepared to defend himself with force. This is evidenced by him suddenly appearing with a shotgun upon Jack opening the door to the Rangers office, saying that he 'thought [Jack] was one of them" but provides no further detail when asked what he meant. It is not clear why he is reluctant to tell Jack more about what he knows and has seen...whether he is simply trying not to alarm the new employee or whether he is intentionally withholding information is unknown but he seems genuinely concerned as he continues to make cryptic statements that warn Jack about the dangers of the park.
Billy seems to be a religious man as he repeatedly states "Lord Have Mercy" when first meeting Jack and later when Jack informs him of some of the things he has experienced in the park, including the skull.
== Trivia ==
* It's implied that Billy knew about the cult's existence as he warned Jack Nelson not to travel too far North as that was where they were located with the excuse that there were dangerous predators such as bobcats and bears up there. He also was shown to wield a sawn-off shotgun the first time he's seen and saying that he had almost mistaken Jack as one of them, further proving that he's aware of what's going on.
