'''William-043''' was a [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldier. He was one of the few Spartans to survive the catastrophic [[Fall of Reach]], but he was later killed on [[Onyx]] by a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair, after valiantly engaging them in hand-to-hand combat. Complying with [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930]], William-043 was listed as [[Missing In Action|MIA]], continuing the tradition that Spartans never die.

===Battle of Earth===

During the continuing [[Battle of Earth]], Will aided [[Frederic-104]] and [[Linda-058]] in defending [[Earth]] for two weeks after the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} disappeared. Will and Blue Team stopped a Covenant invasion of [[Mount Erebus]] in [[Wikipedia:Antarctica|Antarctica]] through use of a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK nuclear warhead]]. They also destroyed Covenant forces on the sea floor near the [[Yucatan Peninsula]]. Lastly, Blue Team were deployed to [[Havana]], [[Wikipedia:Cuba|Cuba]], to battle Covenant forces who had taken control of the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]] and were attempting to use it to bring captured [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s to orbiting ships. Blue Team destroyed the Covenant forces and captured the warheads.

Soon, [[Lord Hood]] sent a transmission to [[Frederic-104]] informing them that Doctor Halsey requested Spartan reinforcements on Onyx. William, Fred, and Linda traveled to Onyx by capturing the [[Covenant destroyer]] ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' and using it to travel there, destroying the Covenant vessel's sister ship before leaving.

After landing on Onyx, William and the other Spartans soon encountered [[Kurt-051]], Halsey, [[Kelly-087]], [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], and the [[SPARTAN-III]]s. After Blue Team was informed of the situation on Onyx, the [[ONI]] [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] ''[[Endless Summer]]'' informed the group of his discovery of a [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel manufacturing facility|facility]] at one of the planet's poles that was producing [[Onyx Sentinel]]s and that the ground needed to destroy the factory.

The group disabled the factory and pressed on towards the [[core room antechamber|core of the planet]], where they discovered a [[slipspace portal]] at the apex of a tiered structure. Will and the surviving Spartans took positions around the portal, preparing to defend it from the pursuing Covenant. The Covenant soon arrived and the two groups engaged in a large battle. Will's final act was to leap forward and engage two [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] without a weapon, to distract them so Kelly could recover from a concussive blast, which had also killed [[Holly-G003]]. He killed a Hunter by ripping the [[Lekgolo]] worms that composed it out of its armor. Stunned by the sight of the Spartan taking on a Hunter in hand-to-hand combat, none of the other Covenant attacked him.
