- Name: William Westender
- Gender: Male
- Race: Human
- Age: 27
- Height: 1.86 meters
- Faction: Empire
- Occupation: Mage in the imperial special forces with the rank of Commander
- Skills: Proficient fire mage, beginner-level umbramancer and expert swordsman
- Personality: Silent and alert, William is a reclusive individual with few friends, but very loyal to the Empire. He is a creative individual, who finds unusual methods to accomplish his objectives, a trait which has attracted the notice of the Emperor, who has appointed him as commander of the imperial spies.
- Lineage and Backstory: Found as an orphan on the streets of Vengard and raised in an orphanage, William joined the imperial army at the age of sixteen, using forged documents to hide his true age. Having been found to have affinity to magic, he was transferred to the army's cadre of mages, where he was trained for two years, after which he served as a battlemage onboard a navy airship for six months, before it was finally discovered that he had gained entry to the military through fake documents.
Rather than having him executed, the general of the imperial special forces at the time, chose instead to transfer him to the imperial spy corps, instead and commuted his sentence from hanging, to a hundred lashes with a whip. Afterwards, William's creativity and skills gained while surviving as an orphan in the harsh underbelly of the imperial capital, have served him well, enabling him to quickly rise through the ranks, until the Emperor himself promoted him to the rank of commander, granting him an airship and a crew of his own.
William's meteoric rise through the ranks of the imperial special forces, has been the subject of controversy, as many nobles were scandalized that their offspring were passed over for promotions, to the benefit of an orphan of common bloodline.
