William

William is a red-haired, green-eyed Half-Elf from Hestia whose resemblance to Lux becomes a recurring joke before the two meet. He is a husband and father with a very large family, a peer powerful enough to co-host cross-world events with Lux, and one of the first recruits to the Sentinels.

Biography

The Dragon kingdoms and the Abyss

William initially exists at the edge of Lux's story through references from people connected to Hestia. Thanatos identifies him as Harriet's father and contrasts the experienced William with the then-younger Lux; another divine assessment jokes about Lux developing a harem as large as William's. These comments establish a parallel red-haired Half-Elf with extensive divine and family ties, but William does not personally act in Lux's Dragon-kingdom or Abyss conflicts at this stage (Chapters 776, 777).

William finally meets Lux in Hestia while holding one of his children. The two immediately notice their matching hair and eye colors, and William learns that Lux replaced him as the male lead of Cantarella after he declined the role. His household hosts Aurora, including through his wife Erinys's shared interest in television, so his contribution to the rescue's aftermath is hospitality and connection rather than participation in Lux's Abyss expedition (Chapters 1178, 1180, 1181).

Open Heaven’s Gate

William and Lux later co-host the Elsoetia Olympics, an inter-world competition designed to build ties among Elysium, Solais, and Hestia. They announce a jointly guaranteed wish for the victor and adjudicate rule-breaking together, turning their resemblance and equal billing into an active partnership between worlds. William's role is not ceremonial alone: his promise carries enough authority that participants treat the prize as real and worth extreme effort (Chapters 1230, 1231).

At the closing celebration, William receives the same invitation as Lux to join the Sentinels, an organization intended to answer planetary-level threats without relying on gods. He accepts, then studies the projected candidates who may later join them. The decision places him and Lux on a shared mission beyond the three worlds' alliance and confirms his latest status as an active cross-world protector rather than merely a visiting ruler or family patriarch (Chapter 1234).

Appearance and personality

William is a handsome Half-Elf with red hair and green eyes, closely resembling Lux in coloration. He is relaxed and sociable when meeting his counterpart, comfortable enough to discuss a rejected film role and welcome strangers among his family. As a host, he combines showmanship with authority; as a father, his displeasure at a suitor pursuing one daughter reveals an intensely protective streak beneath the easy humor (Chapters 1178, 1230, 1234).

Cross-world and combat abilities

The corpus treats William as Lux's peer and explicitly places both below godhood while still capable of confronting planetary-level threats. He can appear in large magical projections during the Olympics and shares authority to grant a victor's wish, although the exact mechanics of those feats are not explained here. No named personal combat technique is demonstrated in the supplied chapters, so his specific arsenal and its costs remain outside the evidence; his latest confirmed capability is qualification for the Sentinels (Chapters 1230, 1231, 1234).

Relationships

• Lux: William's visual counterpart, fellow event host, and fellow Sentinel recruit (Chapters 1178, 1230, 1234).
• James: Their precise family link is not restated in these chapters, but Lux encounters William while James is visiting his home world and family (Chapters 1178, 1195).
• Aurora: A guest in Hestia who spends time with William's wives while Lux travels (Chapters 1178, 1180, 1181).
