Full Name: William Hollingshead Loomis
Date of Birth: Never stated, but most likely in the early 1940s
(Referred to as a 'young man' frequently, I guessing he's suppose to be in his mid 20s early on. It's established that he traveled with Jason for atleast a few years. And McGuire, although not the best source of facts, once fed a story to Burke Devlin which referenced Willie at age 19, so it's possible Jason may have known him at that age.)
Likes: Foreign cigarettes, jewels, guns, women, friends, respect
Dislikes: Anything supernatural
Frequently refers to himself in the 3rd person
Rubs his neck whenever nervous or upset
Had a prison record prior to coming to Collinsport
Has survived: repeated beatings, vampire feedings, being shot 5 times, being in a coma, months in a mental institution, the dream curse & Mrs Johnson's cooking
