* **Empathy** - William is unique in that he seems to have exceptionally high levels of both cognitive and emotional empathy, combined with an exceptional memory and imagination.

William can assume the view point of virtually anyone he meets, even view points that sicken him. When evaluating a crime scene, he uses his imagination and empathy to almost become the killer, feeling what they were feeling during a murder. The only person he could not do this with was Dracul, as there were no obvious motivation during his killing spree. When William apprehends Dracul after recognizing the injuries of the "eight victim" as matching the medieval diagram Wound Man. Although he didn’t realize at the time, William caught a glimpse of the diagram in Dracul's office and deduced he was the killer. William also realized that each victim lost an edible body part. His suspicions were confirmed by seeing a cook book in Dracul's office with terms marked by him, implicating him in the murders.

## Etymology

* Wiliam is from the Germanic name *Willahelm* meaning "will helmet", composed of the elements *wil* "will, desire" and *helm* "helmet, protection". Saint William of Gellone was an 8th-century cousin of Charlemagne who became a monk. The name was common among the Normans, and it became extremely popular in England after William the Conqueror was recognized as the first Norman king of England in the 11th century. From then until the modern era it has been among the most common of English names (with John, Thomas and Robert).
* Albertus is the latinized form of *Adalbert* meaning "noble and bright", composed of the elements *adal*"noble" and *beraht* "bright". This name was common among medieval German royalty. The Normans introduced it to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate *Æðelberht*. Though it became rare in England by the 17th century, it was repopularized in the 19th century by the German-born Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.
