William Cutler

**William Cutler**, an Antrim Officer based in Kriffton and Isonbridge, was born in Kriffton. He is known for exhibiting signs of profound derangement and acute paranoia. It is worth noting that consistent exposure to traumatic incidents has significantly contributed to Cutler's state of extreme paranoia, which borders on sociopathy. He visited Winsdor Ridge but sadly encountered a disturbing incident when he was assaulted with a bat, resulting in a severe muscle rupture in the back of his leg. As a result, he had to be immediately transported to the hospital. Subsequent investigations uncovered that this assault was perpetrated by the FYA, who suspected him of being involved in satanic activities. However, William never explicitly disclosed his religious affiliation as either Christian or Satanist and preferred to maintain privacy. Consequently, William's ambiguous stance led to the development of certain paranoid tendencies, further intensifying his sense of suspicion towards his surroundings. In addition to this, William was involved with a woman named Maddy, whose unfaithfulness and betrayal, including the disclosure of his personal information and explicit photographs, caused him to undergo a distressing transformation. William was enrolled at Winsdor Ridge not primarily for educational purposes, but rather as a means for his parents to distance themselves from him. Regrettably, his parents exhibited a lack of love and care towards him, resulting in limited financial support for his basic needs, with only four meals per week at best. Sadly, this prolonged neglect took a toll on William's mental well-being, leading to significant paranoia and an unwillingness to form friendships. William's decision to distance himself from others had a significantly detrimental impact on his overall well-being. The increasing isolation and emotional detachment he experienced caused him to become emotionally cold. In addition to the existing major trauma and trust issues he carried, William further deteriorated when he witnessed various distressing events, including the stabbing incident in Winsdor Ridge. This unfortunate occurrence exacerbated the already fragile state he was in, leading to a decline in his condition. William, unlike other children, was not sent back home when the Unders started. Instead, he was retained at the boarding school, where he had to face the distress of the conflict on his own. However, in 1964, William was placed under care after his parents were tragically declared deceased following a violent shooting at their residence, carried out by the PAF.

William descended into a downward spiral of intense paranoia, firmly believing that he was targeted by everyone around him. Yet, driven by his desperate desire to escape from care, William made a decision to join the esteemed Patrol Antrim. In 1966, he successfully completed his training and became a part of the organization. Subsequently, William was deployed to Kriffton, where his unwavering sense of unease and vigilance, which were initially considered drawbacks, proved to be invaluable assets in his role within the Patrol Antrim. His heightened state of awareness and persistent paranoia honed his ability to detect ambushes and identify suspicious activities with remarkable efficiency.
