**Dean Josephine Williamson** is a main character and a supporting antagonist in the Reboot franchise.

Williamson is a former Navy SEAL and the leader of his own gang, the Williamson Boys. He served as the main antagonist in some of the spinoffs and the supporting antagonist of both the Canon and Raider timelines.

## Background

Born on July 23, 1981, Dean grew up in Texas and is rumored to be raised by a patriotic family. At a young age, he baby-sat Duke Bennett while he was in elementary school and thanks to Duke's parents, Dean became more popular and his family life began to improve. At the age of 18, Dean joined the US Navy and he volunteered to join the SEALs. Luckily for him, he managed to succeed with his goals and became part of SEAL Team Six, the most feared special forces unit worldwide. As rumored by most of his crew, Dean has participated in black ops operations while in Afghanistan. Due to his bravery and strong leadership tactics, Dean is honorably discharged after killing a large number of insurgents to save his fellow SEALs despite having direct orders not to engage and to wait for reinforcements.

However, Dean had trouble with adjusting to civilian life and desperate for more excitement, Dean chose to reform a private army by recruiting his old unit (the ones that remained loyal to him) and committed several crimes throughout the Midwestern United States, eventually gaining a reputation as a brutal individual and created what's now known as the Williamson Boys, named after him.

As the gang grew and expand their operations, the Red Order Syndicate began to hire them as muscle and protection for the most delicate rackets they ran.

## Biography (The Canon Series)

Dean is first seen when Jay initiated himself into the gang by showing his combat prowess and gained his respect. To test his loyalty, Dean sent Jay and Zane to give his arms dealer $2.2 million dollars to gain more equipment, but failed when Jay managed to take the money and weaken the gang by dismantling their equipment. As Dean sat down and watched TV, he managed to prepare himself as Jay assaulted the compound and took out most of the gang in the assault. Angered, Dean fought Jay in H2H, but failed horribly when he grabbed his pistol and tries to shoot him.

## Biography (The Raider Series)

Dean is first seen when he participated in the attack on Jay and Lilly, having been one of the men to sexually assault a pregnant Lilly. As Jay survived and launched his all-out war, Dean is the first target when he and his men was partying in the Williamson Club, but Jay managed to blow the bar up, killing most of the members, except a badly wounded Dean and an nearly deafened Zane. After Zane was killed, Dean tries to reach his sidearm, but Jay quickly disarmed him and bashed his head in, killing him and his gang for good.

## Personality

In his first appearance, it's rumored that Dean is a respectable individual who is extremely patriotic and that he is brave to an extent where he managed to save his own unit from insurgents during his service.

However, as he began to form his own gang and started working with the Red Order, Dean is shown to devolve into a very ruthless and callous man that took sadistic pleasure in doing brutal acts of violence and crimes as long as he got paid, showing that he's amoral and ruthless. He's misogynistic and greedy, having brutally raped and tortured women that the gang captured and even gave them to Randall Reed or Duke Bennett to make profits for funding his army.

Despite his brutality, Dean is very cunning and calculated, having used his military training and combat proficiency to train new recruits, defeating rival gangs to gain territory, and to build his empire by using money to fund his army. Despite being a former special ops operative, Dean seems to lack his common sense and is shown to be reckless and volatile, having given in to his drug addiction and sadistic attitude.

In his final moments, Dean's sadistic nature and volatile temper quickly led him to his downfall and demise at the hands of the man who bested him.

## Appearance

Dean is an American man, standing at 5'10. He has a muscular build, blue eyes, graying brown or black hair, and tanned skin.

In his younger days as a SEAL, Dean is clean shaven and is slender. He wore the Type II Navy Working Uniform in his pictures.

In both the Canon and the Raider series, Dean is balding and has light stubble. He wore a brown leather jacket, blue jeans, a tank top, and glasses as street clothing. In combat against Jay, he loses the street uniform in favor of a plate carrier and his old uniform.

## Skills

* **High Intelligence**: Before giving in to his addiction and violent tendencies, Dean was shown to be a highly intelligent, sharp-witted, and methodical man and was highly adaptable to any situation given to him. He is extremely level-headed and can handle extreme stress to get out of dangerous situations by using incredible street smarts. He was capable of using his charm and polite side to gain trust with enemies in order to blend in and to complete his goals to take territory.
* **Criminology**: As an enforcer of the Red Order Syndicate, Dean has an exceptional insight in how the criminal underworld operated and how illegal activities work, such as mercenary groups and feared crime families. He also displayed extensive knowledge of illegal narcotics, able to tell what kind of drugs that the Georgia criminal underworld were moving and selling.
* **Intimidation**: Due to his reputation as a Navy SEAL and his exceptional combat abilities, Dean is widely known and feared within the criminal underworld and was so infamous that even his former profession strikes fear and terror into the hearts and souls of his enemies that incurred his wrath. Dean used his combat abilities and reputation to lure enemies away from him, even using a simple word to further fuel more fear toward him.
* **Hacking Skills**: After learning from the Navy, he is a intermediate hacker with complete access to even the most secret government servers to find his targets and to trace their location with technical help. He can jam communications and disable security systems.
* **Master Tactician**: As a former Navy SEAL that fought in the War on Terror, Dean is highly capable of casing out, planning, and executing plans, assassinations, and raids. He is a keen judge of character, often correctly assessing the correct intentions, flaws, and capabilities of both allies and enemies just by watching them. He is a skilled negotiator and interrogator, capable of presenting facts and tell lies without inducing intense emotion. He is a very effective leader and mentor, having trained, fought, and led his unit into various battles with strategic facts and thinking. He's also capable of spotting certain flaws within his environment and using any methods deemed necessary to accomplish his goals, such as using explosives to take out the rival Midwestern gangs and picking out the stragglers with ease. As shown in Jay's attack, Dean is a strong and fierce leader to the core, having commanded and led his remaining members to help take out Jay.
* **Expert Spy**: Having worked with the CIA SAD, Dean is extremely skilled in stealth, espionage, infiltration, disguises, thievery, and eavesdropping. He's well adept in blending in with his surroundings as well as sneaking around heavily guarded outposts and compounds with ease.
* **Stealth Mastery**: Dean is a master in stealth tactics, such as understanding the use of disguises to enter authorized locations, using his hacking skills to disable communications and light sources, and using the environment around him to blend in, even in plain sight, to avoid detection. He's also capable of luring enemies into certain scenarios where he can easily eliminate them or pass by them in order to move to the objective.
* **Connections**: Having worked with various paramilitary groups and the Red Order, Dean has a vast set that he can use to gain an advantage on his enemies, even with weapons dealers, criminal informants, and government officials.
* **Forensics Specialist**: Dean is very capable of making a "clean job" by using the silent approach to minimize mass destruction. Whenever he kills his targets, he tries to make the deaths look like either a gang attack or a simple accident.
* **Expert Driver**: During his time in the SEALs, Dean has shown exceptional driving skills to a point where he is even capable of driving manual cars, mechanicalized vehicles (tanks, APCs, boats, and helicopters) and motorcycles with ease (even not shown in the series).
* **Master Marksman**: As shown in various fights, Dean is extremely proficient with firearms, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, as well as being frighteningly precise with eliminating targets in both close-range and long-range distances (as shown during his fights). He's also skilled with using and firing heavier weaponry, such as grenade launchers, light machine guns, and flamethrowers as well as using mounted weaponry.
* **Master Martial Artist**: Having been trained in the SEALs, Dean is shown to be an incredibly skilled hand-to-hand fighter. His fighting style is mostly improvised and is consisted of Kickboxing, Krav Maga, Eskrima, Kempo Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Sambo. He can quickly outmaneuver, outmatch, and outlast his opponents, even capable of taking on multiple opponents at once. Due to his quick wit, Dean is able to adapt to his opponent's fighting styles, studying them during the fight and adapting to turn their strengths against them as seen in his fights with Jay Roberts, as he managed to predict his moves and gain an advantage.
* **Knife Mastery**: Dean is highly skilled in wielding blades, such as knives and axes. Combined with his extensive knowledge and intense experience in Kali, Dean is able to use blades to find a suitable angle to either wound or kill an opponent in a fight.
* **Peak Human Condition**: As a former soldier of the United States Navy and a Navy SEAL, Dean has displayed peak human physicality for a man of his age. He's extremely athletic, and his strength, stamina, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, and pain threshold are in top condition. He's strong enough to throw Jay into a wall and dazed him with harder hits throughout their fight and survived a fatal blow. In the Raider series, he survived long enough to try to reach for a weapon while badly burned.

## Equipment

* **S&W 629 Classic**: Dean's sidearm. He notably carries the revolver in a shoulder holster and used it against Jay several times. His revolver has a 5" ported barrel, Hogue Grips, and has been chambered in .44 JHPs.
* **H&K HK-416**: Dean's primary firearm. Dean notably used it twice: once to try to snipe Jay from a distance and again when he finally faced Jay with seven men. His rifle is outfitted with a Trijicon Ascent scope, a Magpul AFG, a PMAG with a Ranger plate, and a 20" barrel. It seems like the rifle's lower receiver is tan.

## Deaths

* **About 20+ Insurgents**: Shot.
* **50+ Rivals**: Shot, clubbed, and hung.
