Bill
Bandit mentor and Drakath’s uncle
Bill is a hardened bandit who teaches that loyalty comes from desire or fear, yet his bond with Drakath complicates that cynicism. He attributes his grey hair and cough to years in Dreadhaven’s dungeons; his journal links his worsening condition to seeing his sister Ophelia as the Vessel and wonders whether their blood tie slowed its effects. He planned to kill her child but spared Drakath because the boy reminded him of her. Without revealing their kinship, Bill trains and protects his nephew, even losing a finger defending him. His care does not erase his cruelty: when Drakath falls ill, Bill kills a captured doctor before learning the boy had the flu.
