# Overview
William F. Thunderholder is a [[Leonin]] *and* [[Were-Lion]] man, an [[Oath of the Crown]] [[Paladin]] and [[Knight]] of [[The Order of the Copper Scales]]. He was born and raised in the city of [[Riven Wharf]] in [[The Alavastian Empire]] before eventually joining the Copper Scales and fighting in various conflicts of [[The Conquest of Urgan, Doombringer]].
# Description
William F. Thunderholder is a proud, straight forward, and confident man. He does not hesitate to strike down the enemies of [[Balsorym|His King]], no matter the mission, such is the conviction of his oath.
Being both a Leonin and a Were-Lion, he simply turns into a bigger, more bestial version of himself during the full moon with no other significant change in appearance.
He is blind in his right eye, and has many nasty looking scars on his face. Despite his relatively young age, he has seen a great deal of combat.
He owns a [[Flame Tongue Greatsword]] and a set of [[Plate of Knight's Fellowship]].
# History
## Early History ([[1460 AoM]]-[[1482 AoM]])
He was born in [[15 Ches 1460]] to a [[Leonin]] mother and a [[Human]] ([[Were-Lion]]) Father. His parents met under the full moon while journeying to the first re-emergence of the city of [[Astrazalian, The City of Starlight|Astrazalian]] in [[The Material Plane of Caledon]]. At first, [[Mrs. Thunderholder|His Mother]] believed [[Mr. Thunderholder|His Father]] to be a fellow Leonin, while his father believed his mother to be a fellow Were-Lion. The mistake was not realized until Bill had already been conceived. By luck or fate, the two stayed together and created a happy family.
When Will came of age, he joined [[The Alavastian Army]], and his incredible devotion to king and country made him a top candidate for The Copper Scales, which he joined with pride. He was mentored by somebody named [[Vildeer]].
## [[Orik Basin Scouting Mission]] ([[1483 AoM]])
In [[1483 AoM]], he was sent on a [[Orik Basin Scouting Mission|Scouting Mission]] in the [[Orik Basin]] of [[Xoctl]], where he fought a scouting party of [[Urgan's Army]] alongside [[Kermit]] and [[Thurkear Irthos]].
## Post-Scouting Mission ([[1483 AoM|1483]]-[[1489 AoM]])
William's fate is unknown.
