Bill is generally laid back and easy going. However, he has a serious side, being a high academic achiever while a student and knowledgeable about wizard-goblin relations for his work. Despite being the eldest of seven children and a father of three, he has a lively sense of humour and knows how to have fun.

He is very brave, and this side has at times led him to seek out danger (he'd call it adventure). Sometimes he can get restless when things don't change around him, urging him to go seek new adventures, but his love for his wife and children have (mostly) kept this side of him in check. He is very much a family man, and can be quite overprotective towards his children at times, especially his girls (and especially when it comes to dating). Still in spite of this, he always try to respect his children's wishes and accept their decisions even when he doesn't always agree with them.

After the war, Bill tried to settle into a calm predictable everyday-life with his wife at Shell Cottage. For a while it worked well. He could seek support in the wife he adored in dealing with the loss of his brother and all the friends who were lost in the war. Then when Victoire arrived he thought that the feeling of restlessness that had started to grow inside him would settle.

However, contrary to what he'd thought the feelings of restlessness only grew larger with the arrival of his beloved little girl. And she truly was loved. Looking so much like her mother, Bill marvelled at her beauty, and could spend hours just holding her, looking at her. Still, the moment he put her down, or stop holding his wife, the inkling need for movement, adventure, action started to make itself known.

His silent and secret wishes of action was granted when Gringotts promoted him. With the new position of developing new means of security for the bank came travels around the world exciting new prospects of learning. For a while Bill thought he had the perfect deal, being home most of the time but still getting the adventure of travelling a couple times a month. Only the sense of rest he'd expected didn't arrive. When he was away he longed for his family until the point of aching. From the moment he left until the moment he returned he thought of his wife and daughter, and yet as soon as he arrived home he started planning the next trip, the next adventure. Instead of being satisfied in two places, he was restless in both.

It was when he got word that he'd missed Victoire's first word (after already missing her first step and the first time she crawled) that Bill had had enough. Making up his mind once and for all, he told Gringotts that he needed a place in Britain or nothing at all. He still gets restless at times, but he found that much of the feeling went away once he actually had made up his mind. He devoted himself entirely to being a father - and the best of his field in Britain - and settled for trips with his family a couple of times a year. Trips that has been more adventurous than resting as soon as the kids were old enough to handle it.

When Dominique arrived, he was nearly obsessed with not missing anything at all this time around, and in some ways (though he'd never ever admit it to a living soul) she is the child he feel is closest to him. She has his hair, his love for adventure and flight and she was a Gryffindor in school like him. He adores all his children immensely and equally, but Dom is the one that is 'his' more than Victoire and Louis who both take after their mother more than him. Still, both his daughters are very much daddy's girl. Victorie being his little princess who he will spoil endlessly while Dom is the one taking after him. Louis being his only son made him special in his very own way.

Bill rose to head of security of Gringotts several years ago, and to his surprise he found that the job gave him quite a few of the thrills he so enjoyed. Though prone to lack of patience around the full moon and a sometimes violent temper, he's mostly still as laid back and relaxed as he was in his youth. He loves a good prank, having fun, and spending time with the family he loves.
