His father was an alcoholic, and Bill feared following the same path. He joined the U.S. Army and served during the Indian Wars, but was dishonorably discharged in 1892 for attempted murder and 'deviancy.' Afterward, he fell into heavy drinking, robbery and violence. In 1893, he attempted to rob Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews, but they had already taken his ammunition and instead offered him a place in their gang. Dutch gave Bill the sense of purpose and belonging he desperately wanted, leading to years of fierce loyalty. By 1899, Bill was a dependable gunman and enforcer within the Van der Linde gang, although his temper, alcoholism and lack of confidence often made him the butt of jokes. After the gang's collapse, Bill eventually became the leader of his own violent outlaw gang based at Fort Mercer, becoming increasingly ruthless and self-serving."), Relationships("Bill has an especially strong loyalty to Dutch van der Linde, who gave him a new purpose after his military discharge. He has a complicated history with John Marston, once regarding him as a fellow gang member and friend before their relationship deteriorated into rivalry and eventually open hostility. He works alongside Arthur Morgan and, despite their differences, seeks Arthur's approval and companionship. Bill is also particularly close to Javier Escuella, sharing a strong loyalty to Dutch with him. His interactions with Kieran Duffy reveal a mixture of cruelty, awkwardness and a possible attraction that contributes to the ambiguity surrounding Bill's sexuality. He also has tense relationships with several other gang members, including Charles Smith and Lenny Summers, partly because of his prejudiced attitudes.")]
