## Background

Born in Kollok, complete with nine fingers like many native to Kollok, Billy Baker was a young five year old boy who got himself into trouble often. In early February, 1980, he and his mother, Gemma Baker, were driving along a highway late at night as a storm poured overhead when Billy Baker and the rest of the Radar arrived from 1991, escaping down the hillside, inadvertently causing an accident involving the Jewell family as well. Only Jacob Jewell, Gemma Baker and the Radar survived the accident. The rest of the Jewell family, including Ming Jewell, Rachel Jewell, and Linny Jewell died. Billy was left in a coma for ten years.

Billy's parents signed a contract with the Bank of Mammon to have him return. The details of this contract are unknown. What is know is that a broker sought out another Billy across the multiverse to replace the comatose one in Prime. The town of Undecided in Universe 5 was ready for this eventuality. They prepared an ego with unique powers for when the broker came. The ego, a boy named Lucas Jenkins from the town of Undecided, was then put into the comatose Billy's body, with no memory of his old life, both in Prime and in Undecided. Where the original Billy's ego went is unknown. This new Billy Baker had ten fingers, due to the fact that he was not the same ego that was native to this version of Kollok.

Upon coming out of the coma ten years later, the story understood by the rest of the town was that he simply fell into a ditch while riding his bike. He awoke with the intellect of a fifteen year old instead of a five year old (though characters will joke that he does have the mentality of a five year old). Dubbed "Coma Boy" by the people of Kollok, he is seen as uncool and dorky. He befriended only two people: a boy his age by the name of Tibby Devin, and Rachel Jewell, who tutored Billy in geometry for a few months until he witnessed her disappearance.

Billy teamed up with Skye Hawkins, Marcus Bennett, Mickey Jones and Tibby to attempt to piece together what happened to Rachel, dubbing themselves the "Kollok Radar".

Jayna Grace, the crazed cat lady, requested that Billy comes with her to her house at the request of a cat (who is later discovered to be Agent Perry Bucket, locked in her basement). The Radar all go together, and upon entering immediately start hallucinating. Except for Billy. He interacted with a dark entity who revealed to him that he was full of potential and power he did not know of, then asked to make a deal. To let the dark entity speak through him, as they are connected. Billy accepted, and unlocked the ability to warp reality in whatever way he deemed fit. He broke the illusion of the house, but not for Jayna Grace. The cats attacked him, but he was able to connect with Jayna and free her from the illusion using his new abilities.

After coming back from another universe, Billy used his powers again to make Kollok seem normal to the people who lived there, effectively erasing the last five days from records and memories, make the Radar look normal and not like rotting corpses, and to make the people in town perceive him as a "cool" kid. Doing this, he discovered the weight of his abilities. He stood at the edge of reality with three other Billys from other universes, and after he used his power, he learned that changing his reality destroyed other universes in the process. Realizing the costs of his actions, he tried to stop it, but the damage was already done.

The group bring Skye back from Undecided, and this is where Billy's timeline diverges between Prime A and Prime B.

### Prime A

After saving Skye, a news broadcast in the FBI headquarters revealed the south side of Kollok was reduced to rubble and ashes by Lexi Noff. The group headed back into town to help wherever they could. Whilst looking through rubble with Bucket and Tibby, he disguised a corpse with his powers so the others do not have to look at it. He used it a second time when the small group found a woman holding a deceased Dr. Bennett, Marcus's mother, in her hands. Knowing that Tibby wouldn't heal her as he vowed not to use his powers when people were dead, Billy manipulated Tibby's perception of Dr. Bennett as not dead, but barely alive. Tibby, although feeling strange, saved her. Bucket told him that it was the right thing to do. Billy kept this secret from Tibby.

The group breaks into an argument after the deaths of Embeth "Em" Pegg and Sayaka Omari, arguing about the ethics of why they should choose who lived and who died. Mickey, after stating she killed Lexi, revealed that Billy previously lied to Tibby, changing reality for Tibby so he would heal Marcus's dead mother while thinking she was only unconscious. Unsure of how to make it up to Tibby and the rest of the Radar, Billy pulls a comatose Billy from another universe onto himself, and falls to the ground in front of everybody.

### Prime B

Upon Skye Hawkins' return (and the establishment of Prime B), Billy is the only member of the Kollok Radar to not receive his own memories from Marcus. Because of this, Billy often needs Mickey and Tibby's help recalling information.

The usage of his powers to destroy universes begins to weigh on Billy after his encounter with the Devourer. The Devourer claims not only that Billy is supposed to be him, and that they're one in the same, but that Billy hired him to torture and kill him. Billy thinks that the Devourer is a manifestation of his own guilt, but after a conversation with a Billy inside a television in the Grotto, Billy begins to think differently. He doesn't tell anyone about his kidnapping except for Mallory, who he discloses the information to while they wander the Grotto looking for the Billys.

While traveling into the Grotto, Billy encounters the entity known as Phobos, though he doesn't know that's who it is when they first meet. Phobos agrees to take away Billy's power, and sucks it back into himself. Content with this, Billy then heads out of the heart of the Grotto, tailed by Mallory Jenkins. He searches for the other Billys, and ends up finding them with the help of an old woman.

Billy eventually finds the other Billy Bakers from all of the universes he destroyed. He also discovers the existence of a comatose Prime A Billy, though it is unknown how exactly he ended up there. The Billys call him "The Pretender" and blame him for their worlds being destroyed, and wanting revenge, they use Prime A Billy to warp reality by hooking him up to a computer and inputting commands to access his powers. Wanting to set them free, Prime B Billy destroys the Grotto, thus destroying the multiverse, and bringing all 28 of the other Billys into Prime.

Prime B Billy undergoes an identity crisis, realizing that he's not really Billy Baker like the rest of the Billys are, and that he's really an entirely different ego put into a Billy's body. He spends his days hiding in his room with Prime A Billy "playing" a difficult video game. When confronted by his friends, he explains how he's feeling, which prompts him to change his name to Henry.

Henry and the rest of the Radar enter a portal while looking for Mike Mickelson, and travel through time. They first arrive in 1928, where they escape just before an earthquake kills much of the town. Next, they find themselves in 1940, where they're confronted by Clarity Prime. The Radar reveals to her that she is to die in the future, and that Skye Hawkins will be the one to kill her. Henry nearly dies after telling Clarity to kill him, but is saved by his friends. The group then arrives in 1980, witnessing and causing the car accident that put Billy Baker into a coma.

After escaping the facility Clarity held them in, the remaining Radar, excluding Mickey and Em, found themselves in the House at the end of the Universe, where the gods lived. They talk with Truth, and Billy steals a candle tied to his life. The Radar, with the help of a future version of Embeth Pegg, went to The Roots, also known as No-Place, where they rescued Mickey. Henry left his candle there, and he assumed that because it was now where nobody could retrieve it, he was immortal.

After helping Mickey regain her powers at the bus barn behind Kollok High, Mickey B accidentally switched with Mickey A, and Mickey A attempted to make a show of her power by killing Sammy Reilly. Sammy, who had tied his own ego to Henry's ego using the candle that Henry left in The Roots, died, and thus Henry, formally Billy B, died with him.

Mickey A put Billy A's ego into Billy B's body, and the rest of the group blamed them both for not being their old friends.

Billy regained his powers from Phobos at the sawmill with the help of Tilly. Eager to impress Tilly, he used his abilities to reshape reality and reconstruct the Stone Mason's mirror, unknowingly destroying Prime A in the process as it was the only remaining universe to pull from other than Prime B. Billy used his powers again shortly afterwards, unknowingly destroying Australia as he now had no other universes to pull from.

After Tilly was killed, Billy confronted the loss of his best friend, Tibby. He went to Ms. Devin, frantic about her missing son, and attempted to explain but ultimately could not do it as eloquently as he hoped. He used his power for the second time after getting them back and destroys Europe. The napkin in his hand turned into a fake note from Tibby, reading: "Tell my mom I'm leaving, and I love her." The note and his words only distressed her more. He left the Devin's household and went home.

In the morning, it's revealed that Mainland Europe and Australia have disappeared, though when Billy first sees the report at Mallory's house, he believes it to be a movie. After Isaac gets the children in the street to stand down, he states with intent that they don't have powers, and Billy is swayed into believing that his powers no longer exist.

## Personality

Billy is complicated. He's not exceptionally smart, but not stupid either, although he often acts stupid to avoid conflict, or uses his coma to explain any weird or inappropriate actions. He tends to speak out of turn, bring up topics that are irrelevant or inappropriate, joke, and annoy people in ways that often result in dangerous situations for him and his friends,

Billy is a teenager, no more different from other boys his age. He's socially awkward, and can often times be dense. He has a desire to fit in and be popular, but then later learns that being cool isn't great either. Outwardly, he seems like a geeky, dorky kid that others do not like much.

Most striking, is his seeming lack of empathy. Due to his coma, he was unable to develop a sense of morality or know how to handle emotional situations. On top of that, he's also from another universe, leading him to question his own existence and importance. He has difficulty connecting with other people, recklessly putting them in danger because of his carelessness. Tibby acts as his moral compass, or his "anchor".

He also struggles heavily with his identity. After bringing back the other Billys into Prime, he realizes that he himself isn't really Billy Baker, nor is he truly Lucas Jenkins. In the episodes after that, he starts to fit a little bit better into his own skin, and still tries to figure out who he truly is.

After Billy B dies however and Billy A comes back, his character growth hit a reset button.
