Early life

Villiam was born of a lowborn (Category C) Babkhi family in the town of Aqabâ in Eura. Category C Subjects were defined typically as being of nomadic and indigent stock, including sand-tinkers, gun-wallahs, Kobaid Cossacks, itinerant merchants of no fixed abode belonging to tribal entities existing on the societal periphery of the Imperial State but nonetheless subordinate to the Imperial Crown. The trucial nature of the tribal association with the crown precluded the granting of citizenship. He joined the armed forces of Babkha as a young man, where he overcame the disadvantage of his birth and reached the rank of Sarhang Dovom (Lieutenant-Colonel) in the Yemin Zoka Gendarmes due to his keen intellect and ruthless efficiency in developing a tactical system for employing Category E Mondesians, known as the Bandaka for their caste-shame, in mine clearance operations during the Euran Cold War against Ashkenatza. Attached to the Union Defence Force as an adviser, he was overseas when a dispute over the succession to the Kapav throne led to an act of nuclear self-immolation, known as the Euran Apocalypse, which destroyed the Kingdom of Babkha. With no other option he remained in the service of the Union Defence Force after the reunification of Elwynn with Shireroth. After the Communist Revolution of 1612, Villiam fled to Goldshire where he studied law. Subsequently, Villiam became a lawyer in Goldshire Hamlet until he joined the Iron Company.
