Billy, Bill (by Lox)

The rat pack

The Wingdings

*There was a man from Calimshan*

*He found a sturdy tree*

*He tied a noose, it was time to choose*

*The man chose to be free*

## Appearance

He was a handsome yet scruffy man who looked to be in his 30s. He had dark hair and dark eyes, a strong build as was very tall. He always dressed in common clothes and coats, but wore a suit the day he married Lox. He also had several scars on his torso (mostly on his hands and forearms), and when asked about them he claimed that he got them all on his ship due to rope and lines on the vessel.

He currently has the form of an ordinary red kobold. He is normally seen equipped with his goggles, scarves and flamethrowers.

## Personality

Billy was an incredibly confident man, and he claimed that he had no insecurities whatsoever. He didn't seem to take anything too seriously, and often used crude and inappropriate humor, especially about Lox. He also said he was a philosopher and a poet, and that he didn't go to school so he doesn't know anything about math or biology. He is a musician, singing songs that he wrote and often played the lyre (he played other instruments as well). He is also not above playing childish pranks. Much like Lox, he also shared a love for fairy tales.

Gon is incredibly nervous and hesitant to talk to people, especially Lox. He gets flustered easily and seems to have trouble looking people in the eye. He is mostly found creating new equipment at his workshop, and displays much knowledge about imbuing items with magic. During the siege of Neverwinter, he seemed to go back to his old personality when faced with danger. Surprisingly, he seemed to enjoy the siege. He is very good at setting things on fire.

## History

Not much is known about Billy's past. He claimed to be from the farmlands of the Great Dale where nothing much happened but there were crazy druids who had good leaf, that he had siblings but they grew apart, that he was just sitting on the docks one day and got hired by a boat captain. He also claimed to have no combat experience. The only thing anyone knows about him to be true is that his real name is Apollo and he is from Gray Harbor (Baldur's Gate). This was told to the party by the Oracle at the Eye of the All-Father.

He somehow wandered into the royal estates of Evermeet during his travels there, and met Lox. The two of them quickly fell in love, and were married for two years before Arienthil Sunweaver got word of their relationship and sent a death squad to kill Billy. Somehow, Billy was able to kill one of the soldiers, severely injure the Lieutenant, and set a section of the forest on fire before disappearing.

It is unclear what happened next, but he washed up ashore somewhere as a kobold (Gon), which is when The Wingdings found him and took him into their clan. The Wingdings were then captured by Snigbat, and Gon was forced to work for her until Snigbat Rises, when the goblin was captured by Ben, and The Wingdings were rescued by the PP. Since then the kobolds have been living in Neverwinter, with The Wingdings working on the tunnel systems and Gon working in Abu's workshop. He helps the party by creating magical items for them and finding out how items work. He has no memories of the times before he was Gon, and his brain starts bleeding when he tries to remember his past. It has been discovered that he is under the effects of some powerful and unfamiliar magic, however Gon is not aware of this.

## Relationships

### Ganymede Sunweaver

Billy truly seemed to care for Lox, and spent most of their time together trying to make him laugh. He would bring Lox various souvenirs from the mainland, tell him stories and sing him songs. He told Lox that when they are together he feels as if he can become a good man, indicating that he might have had a shady past. However, it is unclear whether anything Billy said was true or not.

Gon is also drawn towards Lox. He is very nervous and eager whenever Lox talks to him, and is always willing to help Lox. During the siege of Neverwinter, he refused to leave Lox's side and fought Loki with him, but this could also have been because of Gon's (and Apollo's) eagerness to set things on fire.

### The Wayfarer's Guild

Gon has formed a good working relationship with the others from the guild. He has built a pair of wings for Yen and a mask for HD. However, due to the confrontational nature of their first real meeting, he is wary of HD.

Gon has shown signs of jealousy over Lox's relationship with Ben, as he was under the misconception that they were romantically involved. He has since gotten over this.

### The Wingdings

The wingdings are a tribe of kobolds who took in Gon when they found him washed up on a shore. Though Gon isn't a good kobold, the Wingdings consider him to be family and take good care of him. Gon also fully considers the tribe to be his family, and was willing to serve Snigbat for their safety.

### Hovel the Rat King

It is not known how Billy was connected to Hovel, or whether he was Hovel himself. Billy's name was in a list of names (the rat pack) associated with Hovel. When they first met, Lox asked Billy where he grew up, to which he replied "In a hovel somewhere". He also claimed to have "rat-like reflexes".

### The Dead Rats

During HD's first meeting with Gon, it was discovered that he made the mask that she was wearing. The mask used to belong to her adoptive father, Toytere of the Dead Rats. He has no memory of building the mask.

## Powers and Skills

It is unknown what abilities Billy possessed but he was able to fight off highly trained elf soldiers and set the forest on fire, indicating he had battle experience and foreshadowing his affinity with fire. As Gon, he has shown himself to be a capable artificer with an instinctual ability in building powerful items. Gon also showed an innate understanding of how to handle the surprise attacks during the siege, and seemed to rather enjoy being on the battlefield.
