Bio:

William de Bonville was the fifth son of a minor noble in Devonshire. His many episodes of disobedience were punished with long hours of fasting and prayer; to this day, William eats more than his fill at every meal.

Benedictus of Jerbiton appeared one day and offered to take the unruly child away. William’s father was glad to rid himself of the burden.

William’s family at one time had land in eastern Aquitaine, and William traveled there frequently and became fluent in French. He was thus a natural choice to send to the new covenant forming at Commarque.

William loves to travel and be among the mundanes, especiallly the nobles. He loves to scheme and gossip and enjoy himself, and laboratory work can be a bit of a chore. A brief dalliance with a diabolist has resulted in unwelcome and recurring encounters with a demon, for whom William’s soul is a dellicacy to be consumed one day.
