But he also secretly struggled to provide himself with enough to escape from Rodigan. One night he would end up stealing from the wrong person in Benedict Wigglestein *Uno* *Sr*., who cursed him by covering his face and body with liquid gold. Which ensured he would always have what he wanted but that it would forever be out of his reach.

It seemed that all his attempts to escape would be in vain, however one night thanks to an attempted uprising Billiam was able to make his escape from the country by sea where even than fate seemed to challenge his desire for freedom with storms. But just when all hope seemed lost the storms finally cleared, and something amazing happens when a creature emerged from the sea, a giant sea turtle of all things that housed on its back a great marble fortress that Billiam soon made his way into.

Where he would than discover two things the first a gold statue of a man, that unknown to him at the time was the bandit known as Saluk turned to pure gold by the Hand of Midas. He learned about the city's origins as the original home to the legendary artifact that could turn anything it touched to gold and vowed to one day find it. The turtle dove back into the sea but Billiam survived and made his way into America where for an unknown number of years he built an army of machines and searched for the Hand of Midas.

He would eventually discover a way to find the Hand of Midas, through the use of the magical Well of King Ozric that could grant any wish asked of it.

### GrimmFall: The Golden Castle

Billiam would make his first appearance attacking the shrouded isle of the Blind Archer Clan with his personal robot's. Where during the attack he made his way to the top of the tower that held the Well of King Ozric, but before he could make his wish on the Well, he would face Leslie Vale in combat. After defeating her the Elder of the Blind Archer Clan tried to stop him, only for Billiam to kill him through the use of Gold Dust he put in his body to induce a heart attack. Billiam than would make his wish to know where to find the Hand of Midas and the Vanishing Isle.

He would than despite the best of attempts of Bow and other Blind Archer Clan members make his escape. Through the use of explosive charges that were set at the base of the tower, allowing Billiam to escape in the confusion on a avian drone.

A unknown afterwards he would find what he sought in the Vanishing Isle and the Hand of Midas. Afterwards he would begin his scheme to take all of the worlds gold for himself. Which would lead to him hiring the Pack members, Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf. As well as capturing the hero Living Bullet than modifying and using his armor for his plan.

Billiam using Living Bullet's armor and the Pack proceeded to do a number of robberies for machinery he would need for his master plan. He also had the Armor and Pack abduct a lard number of wealthy people adult and child alike. Some of those kidnapped were noted figures like Fox and David Xanatos, the Sanban family and their ward Dani, Toshiro Tohomiko and his daughter Kimiko, Dee Dee and her uncle Fergle O'Reilly, Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Flintheart Glomgold, Cheryl Vandertunt, Shere Khan, Princess Lanaluakalani,

All of those abducted were wealthy in one way or another, with the exception of the Petrikov family of Simon, Betty, and Marceline because they were in possession of the Ice Elemental Crown. He was seen by Dani removing his mask and using his Semblance to remove the scars, causing his golden face to resemble his mask and letting out a mad laughter that scared Dani away that unintentionally alerted him to her presence thanks to his connection to his castle. Billiam then brought the Vanishing Isle to Mitimotu, ordering Jackal and Hyena to take Lanaluakani there to retrieve the sacred idol. During that time Dani attempted to sneak everyone out, only to be confronted by Wolf, Saluk and Billiam himself who then battled Dani who despite surprising him with her powers easily outsmarted her and turned her to gold with pieces of the Hand of Midas.

Once the idol was retrieved Billiam placed it inside his finished machine and used and the Ice Elemental Crown to begin stealing all the gold in the world. During this time his castle was assaulted by the Gargoyles of Manhattan, Major Glory along with Tiki Torch and Living Bullet who personally attacked him out of revenge for using his armor and framing him for almost all of Billiam's crimes. Billiam easily held Bullet back but the fight gave the others time to gather and confront him, including Dani herself who used her powers to free the hostages when Billiam attempted to use them to force Major Glory and the others to stand down. Backed into a corner Billiam fused with his own castle, becoming a golden giant to fight against all of his enemies and held them back until Dani snuck into the throne room at the center of his new form and destroyed the idol powering the machine.

Without the idol to power the machine and the charms keeping his sanity intact while wearing the Ice Elemental Crown Billiam was driven to the edge of insanity, losing control of his mind and his powers until Dani forced the Crown off him. The loss of power along with the crown caused Billiam to revert back to flesh, his curse being reversed while the Hand of Midas lost its power and its curse was broken. Billiam was later taken into prison by P.O.I.N.T.

### Legacy

Though defeated Billiam had a lasting effect due to his scheme. Dani's hair and eye color were altered, developing a condition known as heterochromia iridium with one eye remaining blue while the other turned green to match her ghost form while her hair became half black and half white. In addition to this Dee-Dee decided to accept Major Glory's offer to become his successor to ensure what happened with Billiam would never happen to her or her family again. The aftermath of Billiam's failed scheme also seemed to release an entity known as Crom who was buried in an underground chamber in Ireland.

After the Crown was retrieved it was given to Patience St. Pim who later used it to try and regain her ice powers meaning that Billiam’s actions resulted in the rise of two dangerous threats after his defeat in the form of Crom Cruach who was eventually defeated and Ice Queen.

## Powers and Abilities

Billiam entire body was turned to gold by the Hand of Midas, but thanks to his semblance he was still able to control it. This allowed him to survive without food, water, or even eternal organs. As long as Billiam's Aura remains intact he was effectively immortal. In battle Billiam prepared to let his robots do the work but he was far from helpless. He could effectively outmaneuver opponents and after he was transformed into a purely gold being he was able to dissolve and control every piece of it, allowing him to pass through attacks and combined with the Hand of Midas turn his enemies into gold before they ever knew what happened.

He was also able to manipulate his own golden body, by turning himself into a cloud of gold dust. His control was enhanced by his machine, allowing him to steal all the gold in the world. His power was so great he fused with his own castle and fought Major Glory, Living Bullet, Tiki Torch, the Gargoyles of Manhattan, Bow, Leslie, Dani and an entire air fleet of P.O.I.N.T. ships.
