Biography
Not much is really known of Sykes' youth other than the fact he grew up in London, and was pretty hard up. He joined the London Underground Crime Syndicate in 1999 after becoming aqquinted with John Marcus and Major Claude Courtney having saved them both during a botched drug deal. He became the Syndicate's debt collector, and over the the years, he developed a deadly reputation on the streets as a man who always gets his money. Some stories of Syke's ruthlessness include the brutal killing of a kitten which belonged to one of his clients who refused to pay him back. He was soon given his money following the murder. He also had one of his clients mercilessly beaten by one of his enforcers presumbley Mr Big. Sykes' family are aware of his ties to organised crime, and do not approave of it. Sykes also eventually set up his hideout in a small scummy part of Croydon near the ocean.

These Days
Bill is yet another person on the Wonga Family's list of men to be killed. They have been spying on him regualry, and have got their spies occupying his hideout. Sykes recently lent a loan to Matthew McGuire high-ranking member of the O'Brady Gang, and frequently threatened McGuire to get him his money back. Sadly, McGuire was assassinated by William P. Glendale's men before he could pay Sykes back. He has also put a lot of weight on, and has become known as the Big Chungus of the Harvey Boys Gang. A fact he is not very proud of. Sykes also recently got picked up by the cops, but thanks to Gabe Wonga's intervence, he was quietley let go. However, some rumours are swirling that Sykes has actually become an informant for the police, but is unknown if it true or not.

Personality and traits
Sykes like some Vladimir Glebov is very brutal in his role as a loan shark, always ordering vicious beatings on people who refuse to pay him back on time, and always intending to get his way one way or another. Despite being quite overweight, Sykes is incredibly strong, and able to hand himself in a fight. He loves lego, and often builds lego models in his spare time. He is quite sadisic in the sense he is willingly to kidnap a child so her father will pay him back, and so on and so forth. He also enjoyed the killing of the kitten which belonged to one of his clients, having sqeezed the kitten to death with his hand.
