Early life
William was born to Alex and Carlotta (nee Lewis), owners of a small hotel. William is the oldest of three children, as he has a brother (Marvin, b. 1987) and a sister (Sophie, b. 1988).

From an early age, William was very fond of sports. He played soccer and rode his bike all around the village. Later though, he got in touch with comics, as his uncle Harry used to bring him American comics from his journeys. He also liked Andy Bowe's works.

Comics creator
William proved a mediocre student and subsequently he didn't entered any University. In 2005, he moved to Noble City, where he worked as a security guard for Hendrickx Security. During this period, he met George Underhill, who then was a student as Blackburn University. Hence, William got deeper in the world of comics.

In 2007, William returned to Clave Rock, for his father's funeral. He didn't involved that much in the family hotel; he instead devoted himself in comics and he released his first creation (Dead City) in 2008. The very next year he completed The Virus, which made him well-known. In 2010, had a minor car accident, but he continued writing. That same year, he released Bitter Vengeance, a work with significant style differences with his previous comics. The next year he started Nemesis, one of the greatest Lovian comic in terms of sales. Today, Nemesis has many fans and Transbaum Films has expressed an interest in making a movie inspired by the series.

Benedict is an amateur cyclist and a healthy life supporter. He is known to date a girl from Clave Rocks, although nothing has been formalized. He enjoys traveling all around Lovia and is a frequent visitor of The Stumble-In.
