History: He comes from a rich southern family. His spouse left him for another, whom he beat to an almost bloody pulp. He did not win them back, but he came to a realization. To get what you want from life, you must take it. During his travels, William and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, William discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. William fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.
