32. Billy

Billy in his containment capsule in the lab.

Meet William “Billy” Hope, the man who became the host for Walrider. Like the other patients in the hospital, Billy was subject to the experiments of Doctor Wernicke. He thinks of Wernicke as his father figure, and is currently keeping the old man alive through the power of the Walrider. When Miles finds poor Billy in his tank he notes that Billy, who is supposedly in his early twenties, appears much older than his files suggest.
