## Full Character Story

Will joined the British Army in 1983.He was 28 years old at that time. He gained a lot of experience after joining a lot of missions which helped him to become a leader of people. He met Vince soon and became friend. They used to cooperate with each other in some missions and Will then retired from the British Army in 2003 and they hadn't seen each other since 2005, before the outbreak started.

After his military career he worked in security at some very high end places but he never got the excitement from it that he had in his previous line of work. After a couple of years working in security he chose to get back into shape as he had let himself go a bit after leaving the military. He has been exercising casually for the last ten years and feels like he has his military strength back and in perfect timing. The outbreak then started in 2014. Will is now very well equipped to deal with the obstacles that this post-apocalyptic world brings.

Will met Yasmin when he arrived at Bunker 03 with some soldiers three days later than she did. Will immediately attempted to start taking charge but he soon realised that the people already had a leader and that was Yasmin. Yasmin has a less than decent relationship with Will as she has conflicts with him on decision-making for running Bunker 03. She often doesn't approve of Will to taking risks with his soldiers to search for unnecessary supplies since she doesn't want anyone to get hurt or die, including him. Will mostly dislikes Yasmin because Yasmin thinks anything Will does is dangerous and treats him sometimes like a child, but Will looks at the objective simply and knows what needs to be done. Will also doesn't like that Yasmin think's that the bunker is hers, and not theirs and believes that a good leader should be out on the front lines with their soldiers, fighting alongside them. To sum up, they're not really friendly to each other, but they were the most necessary and important people that could take charge of the bunker and the residents look to them well at Bunker 03.

In Brothers (Episode 13), Will and his soldiers were defending the bunker 03 while the Survivors got back in the truck and finally arrived at Bunker 03 in the late hours of the morning. Vince reunited with Will, whom he had not seen in nine years. Will trusted Vince because they were once teammates in the military. Later that day, Will leads some of the guys to visit a room where some gym equipment is placed. Will then asked Craig to speak with him and Craig told Will that he was determined to become one of the soldiers in Bunker 03 and he will try to handle any problems between Cory and himself. Will believed Craig can tackle the problem with Cory.

The next morning, Will and Vince decided to go on some reconnaissance. Will and Vince then arrived at a cliff and saw a lot of zombies down the cliff on the bridge. Will told Vince that the zombies can head down to the main road and runs through Cropford after crossing the bridge. He thought there will be a possibility for the zombies to turn to the bunker since the zombies can smell them or hear any noise made in the bunker. Will told Vince that they had to prepare the bunker as best as they can in case the zombies decide to attack them. Vince inquired Will about how many people in the bunker can fight the zombies. Will gave an answer that 40 people would be able to fight the infected. The two guys were ready to prepare for the war with the infected.

In Divided (Episode 14), Yasmin started to pick up a handgun and practices shooting a target. While she was still hesitant to shoot, Will suddenly fired his gun due to his impatience for waiting for her to shoot. This bothers Yasmin a lot because the loud gunshot caused great pain to her ears and she thought Will did it on purpose. She then walked away. Ray then came to Will and talked to him. He told Will that the Cure Control Regiment killed his son, Rob and he hoped Will would help him fight against the C.C.R. Nevertheless, Will couldn't do that as he had no idea where the C.C.R was located and it was not the time to do so since they have got a horde of zombies approaching the bunker. He assured Ray that if the C.C.R's people show up in the bunker, he would get rid of them. Will decided to get more information about the C.C.R from Vince later.

The next morning, Will and Yasmin were talking about the supply run. Yasmin argued whether Will needed to take a lot of people to go outside for the supply run since this will cause the bunker to become defenseless while they are going out. Will stresses the need to bring a lot of people to take more supplies which are needed for them to survive the infected. Yasmin argued that if Will quits making noise with his guns, the infected will not come near them. Will then had no interest to have that discussion with Yasmin again and they are going to tell the soldiers about the plan of the supply run.

Will then divided the people on the supply run into three groups and Will then informed them that the final group would consist of Jessica, Matt, Ray, Rachel, David and Shaun and that they would be heading to an industrial estate to find some supplies to make barricades and defenses with. Everyone agreed with the plan and Will told them that they all have five minutes to prepare.

After 12 minutes, the first group arrived at the small military set-up. Will said he will go in the tents with Vince and he ordered Aaron to take a look in the operations building. Vince and Will found a couple of SA80 rifles and an M60. While checking the second tent, suddenly a zombie came out and bit Vince in his armoured should pad, causing a piece of it to break off. Will killed the zombie immediately and it almost killed Vince in the process. Vince was angered by Will's lack of safety and concern for the fact that he could've killed Vince as well. Will sarcastically apologized for his actions. That night, Will spoke to Vince and Craig. He asked whether Vince was still mad about how he saved him during the supply run. Vince assured Will that they were good. Will informed Craig and Vince that there were two days before the horde of zombies would get to bunker 03. He told Craig and Vince that their admission made his team more complete than it was before.

In Eradication (Episode 15), Will decided to divide the soldiers into three teams in order to defend the bunker which are the Alpha, Bravo and Charlie team. Will led Alpha team, while Vince led Bravo team and Jessica led Charlie team. Will gave twenty minutes for the soldiers to equip themselves. While Alpha team were shooting the horde, Rachel told Will that the horde was increasing in density. Will just stepped back and threw a grenade into the horde. Ray admired his skill of throwing a grenade and Will complimented Ray about the setting of his traps.

The soldiers kept fighting for their bunker. Suddenly, a mutant infected started approaching along with the horde. Will was shocked about the mutant infected as he had never seen one up until that point. David felt like Alpha team did not have the firepower to eliminate all of the infected. He saw the fuel tank of Vince's truck and shot it immediately without Will's order. Will asked all the soldiers to find cover and the big explosion eliminated the horde.

After the war, Yasmin told the rest of the residents to come out and asked Will what happened outside the bunker. Will didn't say anything on the radio. He felt upset about the death of people. Yasmin told Will that Mark was infected and he was no longer alive. Will asked Yasmin if she has seen Cory. He told Yasmin that Aaron made it back to the bunker and Cory vanished during this war. Will then blamed himself and Yasmin told Will that it's nobody's fault.

Will then asked the residents where Cory was and nobody has seen him. Will then told them what just happened outside the bunker and admires what David did in the dangerous circumstances. He told the residents that David was the hero in this fight. David felt happy about what Will said and Will told all people in the bunker to work on helping to restore the bunker tomorrow.

In Retribution (Episode 16), Will, Ray and Vince were at the entrance of the bunker and were relaxing and playing a card game. Suddenly, some flashbangs were thrown. Will told Vince to come with him outside to find out what happened. When Will and Vince went outside the bunker, a platoon of C.C.R members and vehicles were there. Will couldn't believe what's happened. A C.C.R Colonel told them to drop their weapons. Then, the C.C.R Supreme Commander came out and walked towards Will and Vince.

Will ignorantly advised the Supreme Commander to leave. Feeling furious, Wesley punched Will in the neck and asked the line of people in front of him to get on their knees. Soon after, Wesley ordered Vince to kill some of his own people for punishment of what he did at the C.C.R's Cropford base, Will scolded Wesley and irritated him. Wesley then grabbed Vince's Machete and cut off Will's right-hand fingers. Will felt enraged about what Wesley did. The C.C.R group then left and all people went back to the bunker.

The next morning, Will called all people in the bunker to the main room and declared that he will draft a plan to take revenge on C.C.R people because C.C.R were a threat to their survival. He asked people to join him. David and Vince accepted his request and most of the people in the bunker were willing to join Will except Craig, Jane and Yasmin.

In Annihilation (Episode 17), Will and Vince were talking about the main base of the C.C.R and he swore that he would kill Wesley the next time he saw him. Also, he felt disappointed that Yasmin underestimated his ability as he thought he could lead the Bunker 03 residents through the war with the C.C.R and emerge victorious.

After a few minutes, Will and Shaun are on watch. Will asked Shaun how he was handling the construction work without Ray. After that, Will noticed that there are some C.C.R scouts on the roof of a distant building by catching a glimpse of the scope's glint in his eye. Will told Shaun to find Emily. Will told Emily that the C.C.R scouts don't know that they had already been discovered. Will believed Emily can kill the two scouts. Emily then eliminates all the C.C.R scouts successfully with Will's order. Craig was alerted by the gunfire and questioned Will about what just happened, he explained and Craig was worried that the C.C.R would find out. Will didn't care about that as he said they were at war as far as he was concerned.

Three hours later, Will, Yasmin, Victoria and Luke were having lunch. They were talking about the food inventory of Bunker 03. Will told Yasmin they will discuss it later as he had got a lot going on at the moment. Then, Will heard the sound of the explosion and knew the C.C.R had reached Bunker 03. He tried to evacuate Yasmin, Victoria and Luke by telling them to leave to find the others with him.

Will then found Tom and told him to calm down. However, Tom was killed quickly by a C.C.R soldier and he then told Yasmin, Victoria and Luke that they will find somewhere safer. Will had been discovered by two C.C.R soldiers at this point. Knowing he couldn't hold a rifle, he commanded Victoria to take it and he lent his revolver to Yasmin. Will told them to follow his plan. Will then used himself as a bait to draw the attention of the soldiers to him. They were then killed by Yasmin and Victoria. Will told Victoria to take Yasmin and Luke out of the bunker to the rendezvous point. He went to rescue Jane with Craig and Vince.

After they found Jane, Will ran to the balcony atop the bunker and counterattacked to C.C.R soldiers by using the mounted M60 machine gun. He used it to kill six C.C.R soldiers, including C.C.R Colonel Daniels. He left the balcony atop the bunker successfully after attracting their attention.

After escaped into the forest, Will told the others that he will not give up the plan of taking revenge on C.C.R after what the C.C.R have done to them. Craig devised an ingenious plan of disguising themselves as C.C.R soldiers from the leftover gear from dead C.C.R soldiers and infiltrating their main base and Will accepted his plan. Will told the rest of the people to stay at the bunker after they had cleared all the infected in the bunker and it had been restored to a decent state.

In Icarus (Episode 18), he followed Craig, Vince , David and Rachel to spot the main base of C.C.R in London. He also promised Yasmin that he would radio her every morning during the mission in order to report their progress. After days of travelling, they finally discovered a suspicious office building which could be the main base of C.C.R. When they decided to observe the activity at the entrance of the building from a vantage point, Will helped the team monitor the building while Craig and others were sleeping.

After they have confirmed the entrance of the main base, Will and the others disguised themselves as C.C.R soldiers. They passed through a crowd of C.C.R soldiers without being suspected and entered the base. After that, Will teamed up with Craig and Vince to look for the office of Wesley. Eventually, they found the office and there were two colonels in front of the office door. Knowing the fact that only 1 person was allowed to meet Wesley, Vince and Will stayed outside while Craig entered the room. After that, Craig had a fight with Wesley inside and alerted the colonels. Will then threw one of his knife to C.C.R Colonel Walters and killed him while Vince stabbed the C.C.R Colonel Knight. Next, Will and Vince entered the office and helped Craig kill Wesley.

Subsequently, Will and the team escaped the main base after Craig had launched the 'Base Self Destruct' program. This alerted most of the C.C.R soldiers in the base. Unfortunately, Will and the team were discovered for killing Wesley. Rachel was shot by more C.C.R soldiers from behind and this caused David to turn back and save her. After Will, Craig and Vince passed through the entrance of the base, the entrance door was shut automatically due to the detonation program and led to the deaths of David and Rachel, who could not leave the base and got shot to death. At that point, Will felt upset and shocked.

When Will, Vince and Craig came back to Bunker 03, they were astonished to find that the bunker had been ruined. After that, they saw Yasmin and Luke come out from the bunker alive and knew the truth that the C.C.R soldiers with white armour destroyed the bunker. When Yasmin asked the guys what they would do after losing their home, the guys told her that they would go up north to find a shelter in the countryside.

## Personality

Will is a stubborn old man who won't let his fast coming age put him out of action. He doesn't always understand decisions made by Yasmin, who wants to guarantee Bunker 03's residents safety, and he will insist on doing something which is not Yasmin's desire. He loves to be out and about, finding things in Cropford that he could bring back to Bunker 03 to improve it and most of all fighting alongside the soldiers under his command.

He's likely to find himself in an argument with Yasmin at least once a day about how to run the bunker and what is best for the people. Will wants as many people to be able to fight as possible whereas Yasmin is more concerned about keeping the small amount of people they have alive and safe.

Above all, if you're willing to fight alongside Will, he'll become very good friends with you, if not, then he'll make it his duty to protect you with his life.

## Appearance and Equipment

Will is a 'Coyote Brown' stickman who's colour has certainly faded with age. He's always had one eye darker than the other which is likely due to a genetic mutation at birth. Regardless, his eyes are often covered up by his blue aviator sunglasses, even when it's not sunny!

His weapons of choice are his Remington Revolver that he has carried with him for over 20 years and his favourite assault rifle, the ACR. He wears a bullet proof vest much like Vince, but he refuses to wear the shoulder pads, claiming they slow him down. He also wears a Captain beret like Vince but Will's is green as it's standard issue, not special ops.

## Relationships

### Vince

As we know, Vince is the earliest person that Will met in Bunker 03. They knew each other since their time in the military together in 2002 and 2003. Will joined the military earlier than Vince. When Vince joined the military, it was the final year of Will serving in the military and Vince's squad worked with his squad on a few missions. Although they worked together only one year, they still didn't forget each other and Vince looked at Will as his military friend or his 'Brother'. Will thought that Vince had a great potential in the Military and believed he could have a higher achievement in the military than Will himself. Vince then became one of the most experienced soldiers and he had his own squad, including Gary, just like what Will said.

After Will retired from the military. Vince only saw him once again in 2005 at a military reunion parade. Will became a security guard for a few years after leaving the military and Vince kept working on Military with Gary. After a few days of the outbreak, Will was traversing the streets of Cropford after leaving his home in the midst of the infected. He put on his military gear once again, as well as some equipment he found from fallen soldiers and he found other soldiers in the streets, who didn't hesitate to follow his orders given his rank. Soon after he lead them to Bunker 03 successfully and Vince led the team to the Winston Military Base. Sixteen days later, Vince led the team to the bunker and Will was there defending Bunker 03. He saw that Vince was among the survivors and reunited with him. Vince felt happy that he met Will again and hopes to have a cooperation with him. Will thought Vince was a reliable person undoubtedly since they created their reliance to each other when they were serving in the Military.

Will then allowed Vince to become a soldier in Bunker 03 and they talked about their past. Will then took Vince by a jeep out to a recon spot that he frequented the next day and showed him a huge zombie herd that was approaching. He determined that the bunker will have about 5-6 days to prepare if the horde is going to attack the bunker. Vince agreed that they must build up their defences.

### Yasmin

Will met Yasmin when he arrived at Bunker 03 with some soldiers three days later than she did. Will immediately attempted to start taking charge but he soon realised that the people already had a leader and that was Yasmin. Will mostly dislkies Yasmin because Yasmin thinks anything Will does is dangerous and treats him sometimes like a child, but Will looks at the objective simply and knows what needs to be done.

Will also doesn't like that Yasmin think's that the bunker is hers, and not theirs and believes that a good leader should be out on the front lines with their soldiers, fighting alongside them. It is also highly evident that the Bunker 03 Residents prefer Yasmin as a leader to Will.

In Divided (Episode 14), their relationship deteriorates even further when they both criticise each others lifestyle choices in the apocalypse; Will shaming Yasmin for being a leader that could not protect her own people if she had to and Yasmin getting fed up with Will's reckless behaviour and lack of concern. Yasmin does know that the bunker is better off with Will on their side, but she strongly thinks his behaviour needs to change.

In Eradication (Episode 15), Will tries his best to cooperate with Yasmin to guarantee the safety of the residents while Will and the soldiers of bunker 03 eradicate the zombies. Although Yasmin quarrels with Will before the eradication of zombies, she goes to comfort Will when he is blaming himself about making seven people die. Yasmin knows Will has done his best to lead the soldiers.

In Retribution (Episode 16), Yasmin opposes Will's plan which is about taking revenge on C.C.R after losing some of the residents like Jessica, Aaron and Maria. She tells Will that the people are not in right minds after what they went through and they also have no idea about where the C.C.R's main base is. However, Will does not care about her opinions and he wants to make Wesley realize their power in the future. It seems that his mind is fully occupied by his hatred of C.C.R.

In Annihilation (Episode 17), their relationship gets better when Will tries his best to devise a plan to save Yasmin, Victoria and Luke from the attack of some C.C.R soldiers. This makes Yasmin think that Will is a courageous and selfless person who does not forsake anyone even though he is in jeopardy.

In Icarus (Episode 18), it can be observed that Yasmin cares much about the safety of Will when he is about to leave the bunker to search for the C.C.R London Headquarters. She admits that she would not be able to lead the bunker on her own if he and the team died during the infiltration mission. Will then promises her that he and the team will come back to the bunker safe and sound. While Will and the team are searching for the headquarters, Will and Yasmin keep in contact with each other using their radios.

After Will, Craig and Vince return to the bunker, they discover the fact that the bunker has been ruined. This makes Will worry about Yasmin and other residents. Luckily, Yasmin and Luke emerges. Will then gives Yasmin a hug to soothe her. Knowing they have lost their home, Yasmin realizes the importance of companions and she believes she will be safe as long as she can stay together with Will and the others in the future no matter where they will go to.

Overall, they struggle to cooperate with each other well without trying to get rid of each other. They start to treat each other as companions instead of competitors.

### Aaron

Will met Aaron in the bunker 03. At the first time, Aaron was only a resident while Will was taking charge of bunker 03. Aaron intended to contribute the bunker and became one of the soldiers to help Will. Will knew that Aaron have enough ability to become a soldier by giving some tests to him . Until now, Aaron is still one of the helpful soldiers that helps Will a lot such as defending the bunker and Will admires him.

### Cory

Cory was already at the bunker before Will arrived and was just a regular member there. However once Will joined and gained his position as leader of operations, he quickly saw an opportunity in Cory, an opportunity to develop an immature and mischievous person into a dedicated soldier, and so he did. Will did a lot of Cory's training himself, along with Jessica. Soon enough Will gave Cory even more opportunities, letting him lead small groups on supply runs, all of which he completed successfully.

Will does not know about Cory's past, but it is unlikely it would change his opinion of him now due to his ability as a soldier. Will and Cory respect each other and communicate daily about supply runs, defences, etc. with keeping the bunker safe being the first thing on their minds.

### Jessica

Jessica was already a member of the bunker's defence team, along with Matt before Will arrived at the bunker. When Will gained his position of leader of operations, when picking guards and soldiers, he planned a complete restructuring of what was already going on there, however, Jessica was keen to keep her position as a team leader of the soldiers, with Matt as her second.

Like with Cory, Will gave Jessica some opportunities to prove herself as a capable group leader with an ability to complete supply runs efficiently, and she did exactly that. Will didn't hesitate to give her more leadership roles after this and she will likely rise up the ranks quickly in the future. Will is highly trusting of Jessica and is very confident in her abilities as a leader and in combat.

### Craig

Craig met Will in Brothers (Episode 13) when The Survivors arrived at the bunker and was the first member from the group to speak to him, telling him to stop shouting down to them as it could draw nearby infected. Will liked this right off the bat, he could see that Craig was careful and cared about the safety of the ones around him.

Their next main interaction together was later that episode when Will requested him, David and Vince to come down to the gym. Will spoke to Craig about Cory, and encouraged him to try and get along with him as he wants them to both be soldiers and work together. He likes Cory and he knows that those abilities run in the blood. After Will made an arguably sexist joke about Rachel, Craig looked shocked and offended, but Will didn't mind as he expected someone like him to be offended by that.

Overall, Will can see that Craig is a capable soldier and wants him to use his abilities to further advance and protect the bunker and Will try to help him and Cory get along better.

### David

Will met David in Brothers (Episode 13) when he arrived at the bunker along with the other survivors. Will immediately took a liking to David as he could see by his physique that he trained a lot and cared about his physique. Will is also interested in training a lot, so the two have a common interest and before David arrived, the bunker didn't have anyone near that big or strong.

After they met in the gym later that evening, Will found out that David wanted to start training again, which is good for Will since he was training mostly alone before David arrived. Although David plans on joining the construction crew with Ray, he will undoubtedly spend a good amount of time with Will.

### Ray

Will cooperated with Ray a lot of times and Ray thought Will is a good leader in bunker 03.
Ray told Will about C.C.R in Divided (Episode 14) because his son Rob was killed by C.C.R.Will didn't know much about C.C.R so he didn't help Ray.

Ray built barricades to help the team in Eradication (Episode 15) and Will admired for what Ray did.Ray assisted Will to kill the horde in Alpha team.

Ray didn't make it in Retribution (Episode 16) and Will felt angry about what C.C.R Supreme Commander did and planned to take revenge on C.C.R.
