Chad Williams

**Chad Williams** also known as **The Master** is a necromancer and a new character appears in the second chapter of Conrad's route. He is also the grandmaster of necromancy. Like Sofia Flores, Jenny Blake, and Jesse Mills, he instructs the players to choose to play the good or the bad ending making him the very first male character to replace Miss Chocolate. Chad will be set as the main love interest in his own mini-series and as the younger brother of Aiden Williams.

## Appearance

Chad has a neatly short dark brown hair, tanned skin, brown eyes and a groomed facial beard. When using his necromancy powers, his tattoos are glowing blue.

He is seen in four outfits in the game as his other two seen from his main story route.

His first and main outfit is an olive openly Chinese button shirt as the sleeves reaches through his elbows with a yellow short sleeved button shirt underneath, dark green jeans with a reddish brown belt around his waist along with a silver chain on the right and brown boots. The player also mistook him to have chains are wrapped around his left arm while trying to control of his necromancy powers. In reality, he has a silver chain have wrapped around his right hand with a purple crystal pendant embedded in it which he uses his necromancy powers to trap someone.

His second outfit is revealed on his mini-series is his casual outfit. A gray nylon jacket with buttons, a blue short sleeved polo shirt, jeans and loafers.

His third outfit where he takes the player to the New York museum, he wears a black bomber jacket with a light blue denim loose button- up shirt which is partially opened, dark blue jeans and loafers.

* When he was in shirtless, he has six-packed abs like the rest of the male love interest and his tattoo on his right arm is exposed which is a sketch of the character Ghost Rider and a celestial round tattoo on his right shoulder and his right wrist. He wears only a pair of trousers when he and his disciples are able to restore the powers of Elena's protective ring after it lost it's powers due to Cassandre Osborne's death at the hands of Viktor Bartholy. Later he wore jeans and boots from his main outfit while in shirtless. His tattoos are revealed to be esoteric as Elena noted that his celestial round tattoo glows whenever he uses both his necromancy and black magic. This is also seen from his mini-series where he decided to retrain the player to use her necromancy magic.
* Sometimes, Chad was seen in his boxers or getting naked whenever he gets intimate with the player.

## Personality

Similar to Cassandre Osborne and Jeffrey Harris before him, Chad is a wise man who teaches his disciples of using necromancy and Nao Arasaka being his acquaintance. As a powerful necromancer, he is able to utilize black magic as a contrast to Cassandre's own which he tried to battle Conrad in Chapter 2 at the cost of draining his energy. However he has a disadvantage in the bad ending where he overuses his powers to disperse three Councilors one to rescue Nao from their grasp and the other two to make Elena help Conrad battle Viktor, resulting him getting collapsed from exhaustion until Viktor kills him and Nao from getting slashed on their necks with his bare hands within his superhuman strength. In his main story, he is able to revive the corpse of Cleo Bartholomeus without his consent due to Viktor's dark influence while being trapped inside of his purple crystal and his necromancy powers are not strong enough like from his brother Aiden when both brothers are clashing with magic which resulted to his serious injuries. In Chapter 4, Chad is also able to teleport both him and the player to the spirit world as a last resort to avoid getting killed from both Cleo and Aiden's necromancy magic. Also this ability was explained by Chad himself stating that it was used by saying the old incantation and only one person can enter through the spirit world. Although he is able to make him and the player enter due to their romantic close bond between them.

Chad is able to control the spirits from the dead which he explains to Elena Gabe that he is able to control Cassandre's spirit despite the latter's stubborness in not to take side with them.

Chad also shows more of his personality, being calm, serious, and somewhat upbeat and was confident in his abilities when he easily knocks Conrad away with his necromancy magic. He can be intimidating at times in wanting to battle Conrad until Elena mentions about Viktor, leading his decision to battle Viktor in wanting to know more of his powers as an Original vampire.

In both Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, he is able to restore Conrad's memories which was altered by Viktor and in the final chapter of the story, Chad is able to take down the Councilors with his necromancy and black magic and his powers was given a boost by Nao who utilizes astral magic as an astromancer which is enough to use to trap Viktor from his purple crystal with Elena's distraction on him. Chad's powers also relies of the spirits of his disciples who were recently killed by Conrad and his group where the latter was under Viktor's hypnosis.

In his main story, Chad is revealed to have a long history relationship with a New Yorker which is the player, the younger sister of his late best friend, Francis who were fellow necromancers and members from the Order of Necromancers who decided to retrain her to use necromancy magic while he was on a hot pursuit by his own older brother Aiden Williams, a fellow necromancer who uses his necromancy magic for evil purposes. According to the player and her friend Maeva, Chad can be very rash when it comes to serious situations. This is clearly seen when he angrily barges the player's apartment by breaking the lock from the door, using his necromancy powers to give protection all over her house with his spirits and desperate to look for his best friend Francis who was recently dead. Chad also mourns over the loss of his best friend after learning from the player of his death when he used his necromancy powers on one night to participate in the ceremony at the Organization of Necromancers. Despite his brotherly streak towards the player since he knew her when she was a high school student, he harbors his crush towards her due to her appearance despite the latter's shyness and being conservative. In Chapter 2, Chad also shows his hostility towards his older brother Aiden after he attempted to manipulate the player into using her necromancy powers to revive the Egyptian necromancy high priestess, Cleo Bartholomeus on her resting place at the New York museum after Sebastian Jones has been excavated her tomb during his trips in Egypt. Chad is also bitter and disappointed towards Aiden who also had been manipulating some of their family members who were necromancers using their necromancy magic which resulted into their deaths. However from Chapter 3 since Aiden unveils it to the player, Chad can be manipulative at times and both brothers are searching for the player's family heirloom, the Golden Rose which the player didn't know much about that artifact they've been looking for.

In Chapter 4 despite losing his trust over his brother Aiden for killing his best friend Francis and trying to defend the player for his cause, he was angered at Cleo for dispelling his necromancy powers to protect themselves by snapping her fingers and both him and the player warn her about Viktor, but she does not listen since she is blinded in love and her desire to find him. Despite harboring his crush towards the player in the beginning, Chad is shown to give in to his romantic attraction towards the player, leading them to make love inside the spirit world for the first time and knowing that she is the only friend that he can ever fell in love with and finding a new resolve by searching the Golden Rose. But returning back to his usual personality from being serious and was concerned about the purple crystal that he carries stating that Cleo's presence had increased Viktor's strength while he remains being trapped.

He finally shows his bravado at the final chapter when he battles Cleo and Aiden. But on the non-canonical bad ending, he shows his grief over losing his love after she was strangled by Viktor to death as well as mourning over her loss at his temple when he kisses her spiritual ghost form. At the canonical good ending, he finally consummate his love to the player after Cleo promotes him as a necromancy priest and the struggles he had put through to trap Viktor on the purple crystal.

## Season 1

His mini-series takes place after Conrad's mini-series where he was taken in by Conrad during his leadership at the Arcane. In the trailers, he was on a hot pursuit by Viktor but it turns out to be his older brother Aiden Willams who hunts him down for his necromancy powers.

Chad's necromancy magic has grown significantly through the contact of his students (disciples in the English version) and many of them are envious of his necromancy powers. Fortunately, he is a mysterious and passionate necromancer who is not afraid of anyone else especially to his enemies. But fighting solely against his enemies can be grueling. Chad also has an old friend in need to help him battle against his enemies.

Chad angrily knocks the door at the player's apartment and his knocking caused the player to be disrupted on her relaxation. After she plays her ghost Shiba Inu, Nobu, she went there to find out and to see Chad angrily barges her house by breaking the lock from her door. He is desperate to find his best friend Francis and to see her house is unprotected. Despite the setback, Chad was attracted over the player's sleepwear to show her top and her see-through pajamas, leading him to have a romantic session with her. According to the player, Chad was very rash when it comes to serious situations and he knew her being Francis' little sister and he met her when she was a high school student who is shy and conservative. Just as the two almost kissed, something cracking on the ceiling, making Chad using his necromancy powers to protect the whole interior of the house. Afterwards, the player tells him that there is no need to use protection on her house. While being desperate to find Francis, the player goes to her room to put on her sweater and informing him that Francis is already dead, much to his horrible shock. She tells him that Francis had used his necromancy powers during his participation of the ceremony, which resulted to his death from a heart attack. Chad sadly mourns over the loss of his best friend and tells her why she didn't tell him. The player tells him that she needs to be silent due to the threats caused by the Order of the Necromancers following her brother's participation in the ceremony in order not to be tainted her name. She also tells him that she can't become a powerful necromancer if she keeps relying on contacting Niño di Luca (who made a guest appearance from Carter Corp) about this incident. Chad then asking her if she contacted her brother Francis at the Spirit World which she confirms but no avail and she had already tried to locate him several times but she couldn't reach him and he was nowhere to be found knowing that he is not on the Spirit World. Chad decided to use his necromancy magic to locate Francis' spirit but also wants to know who is gone after him. Chad continues to think of who's trying to pursue him and calmly decided to leave the player as the spirits from his magic comes back to him and gives her a happy wink. After Chad leaves her apartment, the player continues to check her surroundings using her necromancy magic and to Nobu's excitement when she plays around. Knowing that the spirits are still there and seeing the weak structures all over the apartment and decided to go to sleep. The following morning, she goes to the necromancy library along with Nobu and decided to read the book on necromancers who fought in the Dark War. Just as she scolds Nobu not to make any noise, it was interrupted by a black man who happens to be Chad's older brother Aiden Williams who became attracted to her appearance. However this is a facade when Aiden is asking her about her family life and learning that she's all alone due to both her parents including her brother Francis had died.

Once the player mentioned about Chad, Aiden became intrigued upon seeing his younger brother for a long time and he pretended that Chad was his best friend that he had been searching for. The player finally suspected about Aiden's actions and he's trying to target Chad, she decided to make a run away after Nobu had barked at him knowing he is a threat. But Aiden manages to get her hand and questions her where his brother is and at the same time attempting to wipe out Nobu. The player angrily threatened him to call the authorities. As soon as the booker with the cart of books arrive, this distracts Aiden long enough for the player to make a get away. She and Nobu then hides at the Central Park to contact Chad but to no avail due to the girls' screaming and believing that Chad has been targeted mainly by his older brother Aiden. She later tried to contact Niño but hangs up eventually knowing that she doesn't want him to get involved with the necromancer issues. She and Nobu decided to head back to the apartment. While having a hot chocolate, she receives a call from Niño who asks her about the last case involving Mrs. Meade. In order to change topic, she asks him about the drug-trafficking case (another call back on Joe Kicks' mini-series where he had succeeded in apprehending Giorgio Maccini) making Niño tells her to call her back instead if she knows more of the results of the last case. Once it was hang up, the player attempts to use her necromancy magic to protect the interior of her apartment, but to no avail due to herself is not strong enough unlike Chad's. Since she is unable to contact him including from the Order of Necromancers, she harshly using one of her spirits from her necromancy magic to inform Chad about his brother Aiden who is mainly targeted him which it succeeds and she hugs Nobu happily in success. After taking a shower and drying her hair, she receives a message from Chad from his spirit, stating to meet him at his hidden temple. The following day, she visits his temple and was blocked off by the guard. As soon as she is about to give up, Chad reappears and to rebuff his bodyguard to let her in. It is revealed that Chad is always waking up in late morning and the player looks upon his shirtless approach and decided to retrain her necromancy magic, that makes him refused stating it's gonna break his code. As soon they get inside, Chad dressed back to his casual attire and telling her that his temple is used to increase their black magic but is still refusing to train her after she explains to him that she is an inexperienced necromancer and always take on a paranormal investigation. Chad understands the problem but he couldn't train her to use necromancy. Upon informing him about his older brother Aiden in their encounter at the necromancy library, Chad had recognized who he is and asking if he claims being a superior necromancer which she nods. Chad realizes what his brother did to her and now she is also in hot pursuit and became surprise that she is able to escape from him by distractions. Since both of them are now after by Aiden from their necromancy magic, Chad decided to teach her knowing he needs her help and the player accepts. Deep down, she was excited to be with Chad once he retrains her to use necromancy magic.

## Trivia

* Both his facial appearance and full beard is based on the Samoan professional wrestler, former football player and both WWE Superstar and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's real-life cousin, Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoa'i better known as Roman Reigns.
	+ Both had the same muscular build and the only difference is their tattoos. Chad only has a Ghost Rider and the celestial round tattoo on his right arm while Roman has a Samoan tattoos all over his right arm and right chest and later from the left side of his back where he is currently portrayed as the heelish Tribal Chief and in his second reign as Universal Champion when he battles in the wrestling ring.
	+ Chad's relationship with Aiden are equal to that from both Roman and his late older brother Matthew Anoa'i better known as Rosey but in different perspective. Since Chad had lost his trust over his older brother Aiden for murdering his best friend Francis while Roman had lost his older brother Rosey who died due to heart complications.
	+ Their hairstyles are different however where Roman's hair is long which he tied up in a man-bun style when he is not fighting in the ring while Chad's hair is short. He would resemble Roman when the latter was upfront.
	+ His intimidation and confidence in battling vampires is just like how Roman battles against his stronger opponents in every PPV to acknowledge him.
	+ His tan skin is taken from Roman's real-life cousins and Rikishi's twin sons, Jonathan and Joshua Fatu also known from their tag faction as The Usos consisting of both Jimmy and Jey Uso. Roman would later made a Samoan family faction with his cousins called "*The Bloodline*". The Usos's younger brother Solo Sikoa had later joined the faction after the latter was called up from NXT to join the SmackDown main roster and being sided with Sami Zayn, leading to a friction between both Sami and Jey because of Solo.
* Also, both his appearance and his role in the game are also based on Eric Brooks better known as Blade, the main character of the Blade film series and was portrayed by the real-life actor, Wesley Snipes and both men are known to battle against powerful vampires (Viktor Bartholy, Deacon Frost, Eli Damaskinos and Drake respectively).
* When the player mentions about the chains are wrapped around Chad's left arm, referencing the Italian character Claudio Serafino who uses exorcism sorcery in the *Tekken* series.
	+ Chad's tattoos on his right arm glows in blue when using necromancy magic much like Claudio's own who uses his exorcism sorcery due to his tattoos on his left arm and eye had glowed in white.
* His surname Williams is also shared from both Nina Williams and Anna Williams who were also from the *Tekken* series.
	+ His surname is also shared by American voice actor, Kent Williams.
* His astrological sign is Scorpio.
	+ Which means his birthday is between October 23rd and November 22nd.
* His good ending is in fact canon as many players who played the final chapter and gets the non-canonical bad ending first. Tips in order to get the good ending, it was the player's decision not to show her flattery on Chad's prowess as a necromancer and always states to her that she was not ready or not to listen to Chad's orders that she was not strong enough to use the Golden Rose within these answer choices. The player can utilize her family heirloom the Golden Rose to defeat Aiden, leading her and Chad to teleport Cleo to the purple crystal where Viktor remains trapped inside. If players listens to Chad's order and gets the Golden Rose to utilize it to knock Cleo and his magical clash with his brother Aiden leads to the bad ending where Viktor was freed and murders the player by strangling her neck to death and to reclaim the Arcane from Conrad.
