Role
Lyn's story
Wil first appears in Chapter 3. When Lyn visits a small village, the townspeople first shout at her to go away, mistaking her for one of the bandits. However, Wil goes out of the town to find out what is happening. Lyn tells him about the attacking bandits, ordering him to warn the village. However, he asks if he can join her, and she accepts. He joins the group as an archer.
At the end of the chapter, he suggests that their new group be called "Lyndis's Legion". Although this name does not stick, he stays with Lyn after the struggle is over. He joins the ranks of Caelin's military.
Eliwood/Hector's story
Wil first appears in Noble Lady of Caelin, Chapter 15 of Eliwood's story and Chapter 16 of Hector's story, along with Lyn, Sain, Kent, and Florina. The group is stuck outside of Castle Caelin when forces from Laus attack, and the group is worried about Marquess Hausen's safety. Florina flies over to get help from Eliwood and Hector's army, and joins them while Wil and the others are still in the woods. The two groups are able to join together, and Wil fights with the army for the rest of the game.

Personality and character
Wil is a happy, casual person who easily gets along with others around him. He is cheerful most of the time, and tries hard to make conversation even with quiet companions, such as Rath[1] and Raven.[2] He is very talkative, but always well-meaning. However, he can still be serious about matters, such as when he candidly tells Rebecca he will stay for her.[3] According to Kent, his superior in the military ranks, Wil is very motivated to succeed.[4] He is willing to try new things, such as learning how to ride on horseback in his A support with Rath.[5] Overall, Wil's lighthearted disposition rarely falters, although he can be serious when he needs to be.
Wil's background mainly centers around his running away from home. He lived in a small Pheraean village, close to the castle, where he was a neighbor to Rebecca.[6] However, he ran away from home with his friend Dan five years ago, hoping to become rich. But his friend headed back home, and he was alone. Afterwards, he continued traveling as far as Bern.[7] Having failed to accomplish anything and too ashamed to return home, his money was stolen and he traveled to a village in Taliver Mountain.[8] He then met Lyn in the village, and joined her after the events of Chapter 3.
Wil travels with Lyn and helps her to defeat Lundgren, and joins the ranks of the Caelin army. He then joins Eliwood and Hector's army in Chapter 15 or 16, Noble Lady of Caelin. During the game, if he supports with Lyn, she tells him to write a letter home and to visit his parents after the war, and he complies.[9] If he attains an A support level with Rebecca, he will become the father of Wolt of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
