Personality
[Short ver. : A man of a multiple layers in personality: his stage persona, his normal persona and a secret both vicious and cold.]
William could be said to be an actor on top of a street performer and while he knows how to work a crowd [if only for his goals] and have a larger than life persona, it's not the same outside of the performances.
Outside of his performances it could be said that despite being a street rat, William somehow manages to pull off being a decently charming individual despite his perchance for complaints at times. Though while he can achieve a certain amount of charismatic behavior, there is always a hint of mysteriousness that one cannot shake off as one dwells deeper. There is a sense of the fact that he is hiding something but it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what even upon having a close association with him.
What he guards however, is a darker nature to himself. Not only is he a con artist but he has a perchance on occasion for murder. Though it is not so much the motivation of enjoyment as much as a means to an end and that end is only known to him.

Other Notes
- Though he works as a street performer and magician — he is first and foremost someone after money. He has various methods of conning off or stealing from other individuals though one of his favorites involves employing a close friend, Kaven, for his help in pick pocketing while his audience is distracted. [Though he obviously doesn't utilize this all the time for fear of suspicions.]
- He is quite adept with reading people and taking various cues in order to predict what to expect next. Some might even say he has an inhuman knack for it and they would be quite right. He does infact, have a bit of true magic to him though it is rather unknown whether his magic comes from the actual tricks or is simply how he cons people. He's the type to rather keep a tight lip on what his exact abilities are.
- Speaks in a somewhat polite but still laid back fashion. His posture and movements seem more like a sly feline though in a sense.
- A killer on top of a con-artist though this is information that he keeps strictly private. Even Kaven, despite being his lifelong friend, is unaware of his habits.
- The magic he possesses is far different from the simply trickery he uses to con people and he restricts himself to only using it for a certain personal agenda. For he can control people's bodies with verbal suggestion ( but not their minds). This has been used by him to get away with homicide without evidence against him: making someone's death look like suicide or an accident.
- However, his powers are limited in that if one knows of them it is easy to create sufficient defenses by blocking out sound or canceling it out with certain other magic. Thus one of the reasons he keeps what his actual powers are to himself.
- Kaven and him probably share the same household and he in particular has a connection to a young homeless boy named Christian as well. In reality, he is actually helping to support Christian after meeting him a few years prior. Though both he and Kaven's means of doing so are far from on the right side of the law.
- Recently, outside of his own story, has joined a circus in which a certain persistent woman by the name of Mena has been attempting to rope him into. Though he says his participation is tentative at best and his motivations for it may not be as well meaning as Mena would hope it to be. [Even if he honestly does not mind her despite his complaining.]
