Biography

William was born to Pug and Katala in the Shinzawai estate on the world of Kelewan, during the four years that his father Pug was training as a Greater Magician. William was raised on the Shinzawai estate by his mother and Pug's friend Laurie. Here he learned to speak both Tsurani and King's Tongue After Pug destroyed the Imperial Games, William was brought to Midkemia and placed within the Kingdom's staging camp. It was here where he met the firedrake Fantus who he became close friends. William remained in the Kingdom camp until the end of the first Riftwar.

After the Riftwar, William moved with his mother and father to the island of Stardock where an academy of Magicians was being set up. It was here where it was discovered that William could speak to animals and would often speak to the firedrake Fantus. Unfortunately this was the limit of William's magical abilities. This caused Pug and William to fall out with one and other as Pug insisted William stay studying at Stardock but William left Stardock for Krondor to become a solider.

Here he was taken in by Arutha conDoin and quickly grew through the ranks moving from Lieutenant to Captain of the Household Guard and then Knight Marshall of Krondor. William is mainly focused on as a young lieutenant in the Krondor Series. During the Serpentwar, William worked with Duke James to develop the strategies of the Kingdom. It is during the Emerald Queen's attack on Krondor that William is killed in Rage of a Demon King, standing bravely on his feet, blinded by a magical attack on the Krondor palace.
