Character: Bill
Bill is a jolly figure among the sailors and townsfolk; it’s a rare sight to see him frowning. His infectious laughter and jovial demeanour often uplift those around him, making him a beloved character in the community. He has an uncanny ability to find humour even in dire situations, often lightening the mood with a well-timed joke or story from his past adventures.
Despite his cheerful disposition, Bill’s fondness for rum is well-known. It is said that it’s even rarer to find him sober than to catch him with a frown. While he can be the life of the party when inebriated, his drunken antics sometimes lead to trouble, drawing the ire of more serious-minded sailors.
Bill shares a close friendship with Teague Fagan, the exiled sea serpent. Their bond is forged through shared tales of the sea and mutual respect for one another’s experiences. Bill appreciates Teague’s wisdom about maritime lore and often seeks his counsel when navigating local waters or dealing with the mysterious mermaids that haunt Teague. In addition to his friendship with Teague, Bill has earned the loyalty of his crew and local fishermen who admire his leadership skills and adventurous spirit.
