William "Bill" Williamson is a central character and one of the primary enemies in Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition and Red Dead Redemption part I The American West and Part II The Mexican Revolution. He is a former gang partner of John Marston. Marston has been extorted into hunting down his former brothers in arms, with Bill Williamson being the primary target. The hunt for Bill Williamson has taken more than half of the game plot, and is the central motivating factor throughout. He is also a hero character for most of the game in Red Dead Redemption 2.
With the addition of the 'Liars and Cheats' DLC pack, Bill Williamson is also a multiplayer character that can be selected in the "Liars" section of the Outfitter, although it is assumed he is a cheater as well.
Info[]
William Williamson was John's former partner in Dutch's Gang. During this time, Williamson seems to have had a casual sexual relationship with Abigail Marston, although that is never explored in Rootin' Tootin', Cowboy Shootin'. In 1886/114 BH, a botched train robbery leaves Marston wounded and disillusioned. Some time afterwards, Dutch goes into semi-retirement after joining Gicov's Gang and Williamson established his own gang whom resided in Fort Mercer in Texas.
In Redemption 2, Bill mentions he joined the Confederate Army and fought against the Union soldiers, before being dishonourably discharged for attempted murder in 1863 or thereabouts. Around this time he also fought with Native Americans. He lived rough for many years, drinking heavily and robbing people on the highway while avoiding being captured by law. At some point, he was robbed by a "woman" (implied to be a cross-dresser named Fink) and was almost raped before he escaped with his life. In 1881/119 BH, he tried to rob Dutch van der Linde, but was taken aback when Dutch simply laughed at him and pointed at his fat belly. Though Bill was angry, Dutch cheered him up, bought him a drink and gave him a purpose, after which he joined Dutch's gang in 1882. It can be seen that Bill and other members of the gang, including John Marston, never liked each other and fought frequently. Williamson was seen as stupid and gullible by most of the gang members, including Dutch himself. The only one who saw him in a different light seemed to have been Javier Escuella.
Nevertheless, Williamson was ruthless gang member who helped Dutch with everything: robberies, raids, murders, kidnappings, and other crimes across the frontier and sucked up to him greatly.
Interactions[]
Revolver[]
During the mission "Battle On The Bridge", once all the charges have been set, a cutscene will show the bridge blowing up, and Allende’s men bringing up a small group of prisoners. One of them is John Marston's old partner, Bill Williamson, who will strike a deal with the Mexican Colonel to spare his life in exchange for a share in the claim at Tesoro Azul Mine, unaware to the Colonel that there was gold in Mexico's own mines. William is mentioned in the beginning mission "Beecher's Hope" - John will mention that Bill is his partner and that they made a deal. But after John's son finds out that it was Bill who betrayed him and is now working with Mayor Johnson and Colonel Allende, he becomes angry and kills William Williamson in Mayor's mansion in 1889 after a daring attack on the palace with his allies. Billy was killed on the hallway's steps.
RTCS[]
Billy was first introduced when he got into a argument with Arthur Morgan that almost ended up in a fight, something which is to be expected from Williamson. Dutch van der Linde breaks up the fight, and then tells them that they are attacking the O'Driscoll Gang. Bill took part in this fight, and later searched a house for valuables left behind by dead O'Driscolls.
During the Cornwall's company train robbery, Bill is unable to get onto the escaping train along with the majority of the gang and instead has to get a horse and catch up with the gang.
During the Horseshoe Overlook chapter, Bill mostly guards the camp, argues with other members and doesn't venture out to explore much.
When arriving in Rhodes and making some new buddies, Bill is deputised by Sheriff Leigh Gray, along with Arthur and Dutch. They, along with Deputy Archibald McGregor, go and shut down Lemoyne Riders' moonshine operation at a swamp, where Bill and Arthur deal with the Rider reinforcements who wish to save their precious bottles.
Bill, along with Karen Jones later helps mastermind a robbery of the Valentine village bank. The two of them, along with Arthur break into the bank, steal a large sum of cash, before fighting their way past the law with Lenny Summers, who were attempting to prevent their hasty escape with all that money.
Bill takes part in Grandpa Marston's stagecoach robbery along with Arthur and Charles Smiff. The heist quickly goes downhill, as uncountable lawmen descend upon them. The gang hides in an old stinky barn, but is found by the law thanks to Bill who tipped over a lantern. The barn is lit on fire, and they are forced to fight their way out of the barn and engage with more lawmen in a gunfight in a forest before escaping.
One of his last acts in Clemens' Point was when he, Arthur, Sean MacGuire, and Mr. Bell enter Rhodes to do a job for the Gray Family. Almost immediately after they are ambushed by the treacherous Grays, Sean is shot and dies on the spot. Bill is captured by Sheriff Gray himself. After Dutch, Arthur and Gicov clear the street of lawmen, they rescue Bill and slay the Sheriff to bits! Billy lastly takes part in the assault on the Copperbottom Manor, in redemption for the capture of Jack Marston, John Marston's son.
While in Saint Penis, Bill attends the party at Mayor's mansion along with Arthur, Dutch and Hosea Matthews. He quickly grows frustrated after failing to find any leads and a waiter spills his drink all over his unmentionables.
Bill later takes part in a failed bank robbery, where Hosea and Lenny are killed by the cops and the Pinkerton Agency with a possible tip-off from Leopold Strauss. Along with the remaining gang members, he boards a boat in the harbour destined for the South Pacific.
The boat gets caught in a storm and capsizes thanks to Raiden, who is mad at Dutch's Gang shenanigans. Bill washes up on the shores of Guarma with everyone except Arthur. Not long after Arthur is found, they are attacked by Guarman troops working for Alberto Sausage and are captured. After they manage to escape with the help of a random Hercule who leads a rebel group, Billy and rest of the members (minus Javier Escuella, who was captured by Sausage's men) rest at La Capilla and drink some scotch. Following the battle at Sausage's Prison which Bill took a minimal part in, he is tasked with carrying the still-wounded Escuella until the gang saves the captain who would sail his boat in order for Dutch's gang to escape the isles and return to the good o' 'Murikkka.
Following the gang's relocation to Beaver Hollow, which was full of beavers and marmots, after the boys escaped from Guarma, it becomes apparent that Dutch's sanity had deteriorated and he probably began to hear voices in his head, they talked to him, they understand. Despite this, Billy remains unendingly loyal to the Dutch, and his relationship with the “doubters”, like Arthur and John, declines as a result, with Bill suspecting the latter of being a traitor, something which Gicov, Javier and Strauss confirmed.
Bill is then tasked with helping Arthur steal a stagecoach of dynamite at Van Horn Post. During the robbery, Bill plays a drunk hobo near the roadside so the stagecoach can pity him and stop, only for Bill to attack the stagecoach. Arthur opens fire on the coach from behind, and the two manage to successfully steal the stagecoach and TNT! Why couldn't it be beacon and beings? As they flee the scene with the dynamite and 'coach, they are pursued by lawmen, but Arthur is able to spook them off with his Halloween mask while Bill drives the wagon. Sometime afterwards, Bill takes part in the assault on the Cornwall's beer refinery protected by the US Army, where him and the gang join up with Rain Falls' tribe.
Bill later joins the last robbery of Douche's wild and vile boys and it is in form of the robbery of the US Army train heading through Saint Penis. After the train doesn't stop, contrary to what the gang expected, despite there being a broken bridge nearby, Bill accompanies the others in pursuing it. Due to a fire occurring on one of the train's carriages during the robbery, Bill takes John on horseback, where John is lying head down, staring right into horse's as and swallowing its nervous farts to a more frontal carriage to make him useful, also allowing Billy to continue fighting off the soldiers guarding the tren. When Arthur later loots the money on-board the train along with Sadie and Cleet, Bill reports to him that there is barely any track left at the bridge, forcing Arther to jump off with what he has, same as Sadie and Cleety. Bill then learns that at some point during the robbery that John got shot by the Army patrol and Douche, Gicov, Javier and Bill had to leave him for dead, assuming he was already dead or something, but in reality because this is what Strauss and Gicov wanted.
When Arthur returns to camp later and accuses Gicov and Strauss of selling them out to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, a standoff between him, Dutch, and Gicov develops after Bell shoots Susan Grimshaw. John Marston then arrives on the scene, revealing he survived the train robbery and that the gang left him to die. Bill, like Escuella, sides with Dutch and the others against Arthur and Marston during the standoff as Gicov proclaims that the two are lying. The Pinkertons then attack (thanks to Javier alerting them) before anything else can happen, and in the utter chaos, Billy runs away with Javier, unlike the rest who go pursuing after John and Arthur.
It would not take long for Bill and Javier to run away to Texas where Bill would create his own criminal gang and Javier would move back to Mexico to work for the newly-appointed Colonel Allende, sometime after the death of General Javier Diego.
American West[]
In 1889, John and Bill meet once again at Fort Mercer. John has been extorted into pursuing and apprehending Williamson due to his gang's vicious crimes. Edgar Rose and the FBI threaten John's son and wife to force John to complete the task or else their throats will be slit. Marston confronts Williamson from outside the fortified walls of his fort, appealing to him to surrender before any harm befalls him. Williamson refuses, has two more men put Marston at gunpoint, and berates John for his reformation. John responds by reaching for his revolver, causing one of Williamson's men to open fire, and wounding him in the lower-right torso. They presume John dead, call up the vultures with the 5G signal and leave his body to die and rot. Hours pass, until ranchers, Boonie MacFarlane and Angus discover him wounded, of course. Boonie and Angus altruistically shoo the vulture and take Marston to Nathanial Johnston, the Silver Town doctor (who has nothing to do with the mayor with a very similar name), to treat his wounds. John then recovers quite well after the bullet is removed. In return for a $15 doctor's bill, John agrees to work at the ranch for a short time, but William later founds out that John worked with Boonie and burns the barn down to the ground with fireworks he bought from the local travelling merchant.
During that time, Marston recruited some people in Texas with a cost of helping them. After helping Leg Johnson, Nigel W. Dickens, Seth Brains and Scot, John planned a strategy to raid Bill's hideout. The group breached the fort only to find out that Will fled to Mexico with the help of a member of John's former gang, Javier Escuella.
Mexican Revolution[]
John ventured to Mexico and was forced to work for Colonel Allende, the brutal dictator of a region in Mexico called Nuevo Paraiso and his slimy doctor, Vincente de Santa. Even though Allende promised to deliver Escuella and Williamson to Marston, Allende betrayed Marston and attempted to kill him for siding with Reys' Rebels. Due to the betrayal, John joined with the anti-mayor rebels led by Abraham Reys and attacked Allende's villa in Escalera. John managed to kill Allende and Williamson but Luisa Fortuna, a rebel freedom fighter, died as she defended Reys from his executioners. Later, Reys takes control of Mexico and becomes the new president and a more brutal dictator than Allende ever could be.
Williamson is killed during the mission "An Appointed Time" while attempting to escape with Colonel Allende by being shot in his bald head by Johnny.

Trivia[]
- Will is partly bald, revealed during his final appearance, when Allende shoves him out of the wagon, his hat falls off, revealing his baldness. It can also be seen by shooting off his hat, or by playing poker or liar's dice in multiplayer.
- Bill does not appear in Undead Nightmare physically, but he is mentioned by John while talking to Mother Inferior and his quote is seen on walls of green buildings in Gold Town. One of the most notable ones is "Things are different now."
- Most, if not all, of Bill's multiplayer quotes seem to be directed at John.
- William wears a slouch hat similar to that of Slink Breadshawn. He also has a pin of the Freemasons on it, implying he killed one and pinned the compass on his hat, as he seems way too stupid to ever be a part of such a high society. Why the Masons never took revenge against him for that is unknown.
- It seems that Bill is affiliated with various of Roe's Criminals and British gang members as seen in "The Assault on Fort Mercer" as his gang mostly consists of Roe's criminals, before some of them would merge into Winkler's Gang and Hestor's Gang.
- Bill seems to mentioned his former gang leader, Dutch van der Linde, in many of his interactions with John, showing how much he really cared for him.
- William and John always seemed to have hated each other to a degree even when they were in Dutch's Gang. Evidenced by statements and insults between the two characters and their interactions in Rootin' Tootin', Cowboy Shootin'. Out of all of his former gang members John seemed to hate Bill the most, not including the treacherous Gicov Bell and Leopold Strauss.
- Williamson was never a popular guy, even back when he was with Dutch's gang as most gang members often made fun of him in numerous ways, safe for Javier Escuella, who showed him at least some degree of respeckt.
- According to recent files released by the Mexican government back when Allende and Ignacio Sanchez ruled the place, Bill and Javier were in a gay relationship.
