William

"'Perhaps, Logun, we can keep you on a sort of improvised house arrest, while Blake and I take Dan to the nether to find these skulls.'" William is a west-aligned resident of West, living in a modern-style home several hundred meters up on Mt. West. He operates as the Secretary of Defense, in charge of building up arms and handling military issues, especially those involving the protection of West. He rarely leaves his town because of his duty.

Personality
William is a logical, understanding, and risk-taking squid who enjoys interaction. While he is fairly curious about certain prospects of Dan's and Grimnar's proposals, and is even willing to temporarily diminish the freedoms of some of his fellow citizens to explore them, he firmly believes in the right for people to government themselves. He is a strong patriot of West and his love of his town is only second to Logun's patriotism. He has a strong (if not always right) moral code. William is very military-minded, but vehemently and enthusiastically insists his strong display of armor, weapons, and construction of walls is purely for defense. He overall claims that he desires peace between nations.

Some of his hobbies include listening to classical music, swimming in the lake, and sharpening his weapons while reminiscing of the times before he was experimented on.

Foiled Slavery
When Dan appeared in West after an attempting mugging of Logun the night before to apologize, William joined the two atop Mt. West in the town hall to speak of the incident. The apology is accepted, and in order to talk about the skulls, William, Blake, and Hasan— who were all at the meeting—were sent away. However, all three spy on the conversation, Hasan being unsuccessful, as he falls hilariously onto the walkway to try to avoid detection.

After the duo leave to go to a more private place, Dan draws a pre-cocked crossbow and threatens Logun with death if he does not forfeit his person to Dan by means of a contract. However, Blake appears just in time to save Logun. William after a few minutes makes himself present as well.

When Dan attempts to further the proposal in am emotional outburst, William tries to sweeten the deal to get Logun to agree, but after fierce opposal, William full-heartedly agrees with Logun on the grounds that slavery is morally incorrect.
