The Walking Dead[]
William was a middle-aged white male living in the U.S. state of Virginia, or possibly Washington, D.C. in the years following the zombie apocalypse. He became a resident of a survivor colony known as The Kingdom. He followed the leadership of King Ezekiel, though he often disagreed with Ezekiel's methods. When Ezekiel died, William took it upon himself to assume the mantle of leadership. Dubbed "King William" by his followers, he took council with his followers, Zachary and Taylor. He was fair and respected, but also harbored an abundance of zeal when it came to protecting his people. William assisted Rick Grimes and his militia in their struggle against a group called the Whisperers. This was not so much done out of altruism, but out of survival, for if Rick's group had failed to defeat the Whisperers, William knew that the Kingdom would become their next target.
