Will is a special agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and a member of the Special Criminal Apprehension Team. He is a highly competent, driven agent, and although he is kindhearted, he is also extremely clever and observant. His competence as an investigator has allowed him to achieve a high clearance rate of 89%, which is nearly unheard of in his field. His successful track record has drawn some envy from his peers, and his reputation for excellence sometimes makes him a target for subversive forms of malice from his peers.

Will grew up in the foster care system and suffered a wide range of unspecified abuses as a child, and his body is marred by the scars of many childhood injuries, including a scar on his face. Because Will has known Angie since their time together in foster care, the two now see each other as a source of emotional support. They are trauma bonded and have occasional romantic interludes, in between Angie’s many self-destructive and short-lived relationships with ill-chosen men. Most of the time, she and Will behave more like siblings.
