William "Whaddaya" Buyin' of Oceania

["Whaddaya" - A Phrase Used Often By William. Wife Jokingly Call Him This.] William Buyin' [Viola - Given to Self to Honor His Sister and Daughter] Buyin' (a.k.a. "The Black Death")

Born into a lower class family in Daggerveil, it was a tough life for William. As a child of a poor mother (Emilia) and father (James), and a sibling of 3 (2 Boys [Colin and Christof], One Girl [Viola]), he had to fend for himself when they were taken from him. A group of men known only as the Clan of Chaos, that his father took money from, came one day to get it back. They didn't have it, of course, so when his father tried to fight back, it ended with deadly consequences. With no remorse, they butchered his family right in front of him. While all the others stood and fought, he hid and was able to survive the encounter. His first regret of many... With no parents and no siblings, he fended for himself on the streets, becoming a shadow-slinking thief, who would take any encounter to steal a few gold to buy himself food. He had some mishaps with the law, but nothing was ever worse than he was already. Until one day, everything turned around when he was caught by someone he was trying to pickpocket. But that person just so happened to be a member of the Thieves Guild and his soon-to-be mentor Ludwig Guernier. He was taken in by Ludwig and was taught the proper rules and skills of a trained thief. He honed his skills over time, building up strength and speed to take revenge on those who slaughtered his family. After years of searching, he finally found them, the Clan of Chaos, and using his resources at the Thieves Guild, wiped them from existence in a bloody battle, which was published as a clan war, but really was a brutal revenge by William and his mentor, Ludwig, who didn't love the thought of killing people if he didn't have to, but he saw William as a son, and knew what this meant to him. William loved the rush and satisfaction of slaughtering his enemies, coating himself in the blood of those who took his life away. After his successful revenge, he took up odd jobs for the Guild, with Ludwig as his guide. But when his mentor died, he decided to take time away from his new home and become a merchant, buying and selling to get by. He enjoyed it, not as much as thieving, but it was definitely more legal. He luckily had all his criminal records wiped thanks to Ludwig and the Thieves Guild Leader, Keaton Woodward, who he became close friends with. During his times of traveling, exploring, and buying and selling, he met a beautiful lass named Eleanor. Her beauty was by far the greatest he had ever seen. In a lot of ways, she was like his mother, whom he looked up to in many aspects. Usually being a very charismatic fellow, he was shockingly at a loss for words, starstruck at the magnificent human before him. Luckily, she found him very cute and goofy, and they hit it off almost immediately. He poured his heart and soul into this relationship, even telling her about his childhood and the moment his life changed. She loved him for who he was, no matter what. After a few years of being together, getting married and being totally in love, they have a daughter, who they name Viola, after his sister he loved dearly. Eleanor was his everything, and as soon as Viola was born, his whole life changed for the better. He didn't know what it was to be truly happy until he met Eleanor. Holding his daughter in his hand was truly the peak of his existence, almost as if everything he had been through and everything he had seen just melted away. Everything was amazing, William and his loving wife now had a beautiful baby girl, who they loved more than life itself. Continuing being a merchant to support his new family, he met a lot of new people, powerful people, who would later become a prime target for William. After 10 years of trading and selling, his daughter who just turned 12, was honored by her parents by having a special party with all of her friends. Little did he know that at this party, his life was about to change drastically, just as it did as a child. Holding his wife and his child, William had a blast at the party, until, that is, a large group of armed men, approximately 35 soldiers were blocking the entrances of the building. Not aware of the men, William kept the festivities going, until the men got orders to charge in and start murdering all the children and parents at the party. He immediately hid his wife and daughter, told them to keep quiet and that he loved them no matter what, and leapt into action, recalling how he ran and hid as a child, and was determined to protect his new family, at any cost. With swiftness and precision, he took out the men as they were focused on the other people at the party. But soon, he would be overwhelmed as more soldiers came in, flooding the building. Chock full of rage, he slaughtered them, protecting his family, when suddenly he got shot with an arrow in the leg, pinning him to the ground. He didn't give up, still killing as he could, until the men were able to hold him and pin him down. He screamed to his wife and daughter to not come out, when suddenly someone he was very familiar with, a man by the name of Lautrec Tennenbaum, a chairman of the Presidium, an exclusive, heavily guarded oasis for political figures of the highest government in all of Emeraldia, whom he had been acquainted with on his travels, him being a very frequent buyer of goods. Shocked to see his client, he was beaten and cut, causing a scar to form over his left eye, and was swiftly incapacitated by his new foe. When he awoke, he was still at the party, now bloodied and massacred. Bodies strewn everywhere of children and parents alike. William ran to where he hid his family, and they were not there. He looked all around, looking at the bodies hoping to every deity that none of them were his wife and child. Coming across two slumped bodies in the corner, each holding each other for dear life, he fell to his knees and cried, his wife, Eleanor, and his daughter, Viola, lay dead, with the look of fear forever in their eyes, and blood dripping from their wounds. He screams and promises revenge yet again, as everything he ever loved was taken from him for a second time. For seemingly no reason, everything he had was stripped away from him in a flash, yet again. He was found clutching his wife and child by the authorities and was sentenced to jail time. The authorities discounted William's claims of slaughter by Lautrec, I mean, who would believe a seemingly lunatic man ranting about a high government official slaughtering a bunch of innocent men, women, and children. After months of being locked away for a crime he had no part of, his good friend and leader of the Thieves Guild, Keaton Woodward, came to his aid and broke him out of prison. Unfortunately, no amount of bribing could wipe his new bounty, and now, with the immense grief he carries, William has to go back to being a thief and a killer. His only goal in life now is to get revenge, as it was before he met Eleanor. Once he murders Tennenbaum and makes him suffer, will he finally be able to let go and be with his family once again. With more and more practice and training, he has become an unstoppable killing machine, with a merchanting gig on the side. Now it is time for him to find Lautrec and end him. Unfortunatly that will not be easy, as the Presidium is by far the most secured location in the entire world. Only with people he can trust, can he pull it off. So now he waits, plotting in silence, scoping around as a merchant and using his resources to try to find a way to Tennenbaum. His daggers of cold steel, engraved with his wife and daughter's names, his wedding ring, and his locket, made by his wife with their names and pictures in them, are the items he cherishes the most, as it's all he has left of them. And whenever he is dealing with an incredibly stressful situation, he uses what used to be her perfume on his concealing face mask to calm down, as she was his everything.
William was born in Daggerveil, after all the trauma that occurred there, he traveled the world, eventually meeting his wife. They moved back to Daggerveil permanently since it was a good place for his job, eventually having their daughter there. They continued living in the city for multiple years, until finally making the decision to move to Oceania, near Esmeralda. He considers Oceania his true home, even though his birthplace is Daggerveil. Often when introducing himself, instead of saying "I'm William Buyin' of Daggerveil," he would say, "I'm William Buyin' of Oceania." He also had his daughter introduce her with Oceania instead of Daggerveil. Possibly because of the trauma he carries from there.
