Will LeClair

**Will LeClair** is one of the main characters in the first season of *The Society*, and a close ally of Allie Pressman.

He is a foster kid, though not on good terms with his foster father, who appears to be neglectful. Because of this, he did not have a lot of adult role models in his life and depended on himself. Living outside of West Ham originally, he was an outsider when the teens are transported to New Ham, but forged a close relationship with Allie Pressman, taking refuge in the Pressman House.

## Early Life

Nothing much is known about Will's history, other than the fact that he was a foster kid. He lived outside of West Ham with his neglectful foster father, which made things difficult due to the lack of parental guidance. He was in six foster homes over a span of ten years, causing him to know a lot about independence and survival.

### Season 1

The school bus trip out of town was canceled due to the roads being closed, and once the class returned, it was oddly quiet. Will asked to crash over at his best friend Allie's place because his house was faraway. The class quickly discover that they cannot reach their family, and it was only them. Days after they realized that the roads out of town are cut off, Will technically homeless because of this. Upon meeting back at the Pressman house, he revealed that he took a pair of shoes, which caused Cassandra to scold him for sneaking into other people's houses. Will considered this, but decided to still keep the shoes. Cassandra, along with Gordie, listed the tasks that they needed to do, and Will offered to do the food census, causing Allie to quickly tag along. After some time at the supermarket, he was approached by Kelly, his crush, who helped with counting the food inventory. Allie witnessed the scene but quickly left. Harry also noticed them, wanting items to take for his party but interrupted, supposedly jealous.

Later in Episode 3, Will's name was shown to be on the list for part of the committee along with Cassandra, Kelly, Gwen, Maya, Luke, and Dillon. At the prom night he asked to dance with Kelly, who agreed, but reminded that they were both just friends.

After Cassandra's death, Will comforted Allie. When Harry and Campbell entered the funeral service, he was quick to confront them both, protective of Allie and at the respect of Cassandra. The day after the funeral, Kelly warned him that they needed to be careful, especially if it was only them. Will reported to The Guard that less than half of the staff showed up in the kitchen and that they needed to enforce it, suggesting intimidation. Will also tried to convince Allie to fill in her sister's role to lead the town, knowing that no one else could possess the ability. He was quick to assure Allie that he and The Guard would be by her side with every decision and every second.

Upon finding Greg Dewey to be the murderer of Cassandra, Allie was uncertain about being the judge due to being easily influenced by her emotions. Will explained that the jury could decide if he was guilty or not, and that they needed a lawyer for the defendant, showing his apparent interest in law.

In Episode 6, Will felt that Dewey should be executed in order for people to feel safe. He added that they needed to use fear to gain order. When The Guard, Allie, Will, and Helena went to the forest to kill Dewey, Grizz was unable to commit the act of murder. Allie decided to take his place, causing Will to intervene, but Allie resisted. That night Allie told Will that she didn't want to see him, struggling to cope with the guilt of the murder and nightmares that no one could take away anymore.

Six months later, Will and Allie were talking to each other again. On Thanksgiving a few classmates put on a show. The improv went awry, however, as they mocked Allie, causing Will to stand up. Allie was horrified, and walked out of the church, Will following behind. Later he and Kelly spent a night together past curfew hours, where they had sex. Will got a call about Allie being sick, and quickly rushed to her aid. Heading to the clinic, they discovered other people who were also affected that night. Will spent his time by Allie's side, which Kelly noticed, and later stated that he was in love with his best friend. Will spent that night holding Allie and falling asleep.

In the morning Allie confronted him about last night, which he tried to avoid. He asked if she liked it and had difficulty articulating what he felt, as he wasn't usually so emotional. Eventually he explained that he never thought he could feel the way he did over somebody before and they kissed. Later on he visited Allie at the church, and she explained that they couldn't be together because it interfered with her job as a leader for everyone in the town. Will was visibly upset by this, but Allie turned him away. Days later Will visited Allie and gave advice about the situation of the election, but Allie steered the conversation to their relationship, once again them leaving on a bitter note. However, Allie went to his room at nighttime and admitted that she was wrong. They forgave each other, and kissed.

Will expressed concern over Winter approaching, and told Allie to delay the election. She didn't want to prove Lexie's point, though in the end the election was no longer being held. Campbell organized a manipulative plan so that Lexie and Harry became the mayors of New Ham, and arrested Allie and Will for "stealing the election".

He acts as the voice of reason to Allie, and is like a quiet leader, recognizing what is best for everyone and assuming the role with pragamtism. Emotionally he tries not to be vulnerable. Relying on solely himself for years, he never truly cared about someone until he realized his feelings for Allie.
