Appearance

William has Caucasian skin, black hair, and (what can only be described as) blue eyes, and wears a black T-Shirt with over a bright-red longsleeved undershirt, navy blue jeans rolled up to his knees, and brown boots. As of Season 4, his T-shirt is branded with a red logo, his pants are unrolled, he carries a black satchel, and wears a brown leather jacket that matches his boots.

On Lyoko, he was dressed in white and grey full-body armor with black accents, dark teel leggings and accents underlining his arms and hands, and pale cyan heeled boots. He also had a reddish magenta belt, spots on the medial malleolus of the tibias on his boots, and half handle on his zweihander (the other half being black), which had a triangular insignia on the apex of the hilt and a silver blade with spots of discoloration resembling Damascus steel and a single notch on the curve of the cutting edge.

After XANA enslaved him, he was completely redecorated in its own XANAfied image; his forehead and chest were branded with the sign of XANA and his white armor was replaced with a dark grey catsuit with silver, black, and reddish magenta accents. Other details consist of black sleeves concealed with dark grey gloves ending with striped bands on his deltoids, strips on his black boots resembling laces, a black belt reaching all the way up to his ribcage and two leather belts on his left thigh. His Zweihander was altered as well, changing the elegant triangular hilt to the XANA symbol engulfed with an infectious black growth giving it the exact likeness of a tower.

Abilities and Equipment

Weapons:
- William wields a large sword called Zweihänder. Its name literally means "Two-Hander" in German. Traditionally, Zweihänders are wielded with two hands due to their great weight. Evidence of the sword's weight can be found in the episode Final Round when William attempted to hold it with one hand and then dropped it. His sword also fires energy slashes when he swings it.
Lyoko Powers/Abilities:
- Super Smoke: An ability much like Ulrich's Super Sprint, but instead of simply running at speed, William transforms into a sentient cloud of vantablack smoke to avoid people, monsters, or other things. William can also throw the black smoke, which can suspend other people in a paralyzed state, granting a certain parameter of telekinesis. He still has this power in Evolution. Since he has no vehicle, this is his only transportation.
Former Abilities (Exclusive to When Under X.A.N.A.'s Control)
- Second View: The ability to see much farther away in the same sector.
- Levitation: An ability that allows him to levitate by holding his Zweihänder by both hands and pointing downward.
- Tower Control: Ability to activate a tower for X.A.N.A., from the inside or outside. This mimics Aelita's power and it is possible X.A.N.A. allowed him to use a version of the Annex Program. Might still possibly have? No way to know what would happen if he used the Code: Lyoko outside of XANA's control.
Vehicle
- Black Manta (Formerly): A unique Manta for William to ride on as a vehicle.
- Rorkal (Formerly): A virtual ship like a Nav Skid created for William, but he was given a black, independent one by X.A.N.A, who made it by using the data it had stolen from the Skidbladnir in The Lake.

Personality

William displays a laid-back interest towards almost everything, from classwork and school rules to his own interests and hobbies. The lone exception to this is his interest in girls; William was kicked out of his last school for posting love-letters around the entire school, and was no less theatrical when he arrived at Kadic. He claims that love can 'drive him crazy,' and jumps at any occasion to spend time with Yumi. He enjoys flirting and 'casually' bragging about his dedication to her, despite it never leaving an impact.

However, William's playfulness can quickly divulge into harassment. In the episode The Secret, he refused to let Yumi walk away until she 'gave him a kiss goodnight;' in the same episode he later grabbed onto her shoulder after she snuck away from him and tried to talk to her even as Yumi told him to leave her alone. He has little patience for Ulrich, and didn't hesitate to let things get messy with him when he provokes him in A Bad Turn.

William's immaturity and hotheadedness eventually led to him being possessed by X.A.N.A.. He had little memory of this, however, and as such considered the group's rejection of him to be an overreacting for his 'single' mistake.

William was initially able to gain the trust of the Lyoko Warriors through his bravery and resourcefulness. In Lyoko Minus One and The Secret, he fights against his entire possessed class and a construction worker who is also under X.A.N.A.'s possession, respectively. He manages to disarm a bomb with seven seconds to spare, claiming to have learned the skill from his uncle.

William's intelligence is fluctuating at best. He is easily distracted (a point that made him a prime target for X.A.N.A.), and his academic life often suffers because of his lack of focus and clear-headedness. In the episode Aelita he claimed to have learned everything about America History, before realizing that his exam was in math.
