Character from Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by Game Freak / Nintendo
The first member of the Indigo Plateau Elite Four — a Psychic-type specialist in a black domino mask with a powerful ambition to be the world's strongest trainer and a theatrical sense of how that story should look.
Will is the gate. He's the first of four Elite Four members, which means he's good enough to stop most trainers who never should have made it past the seventh gym, but the player has already made it this far. His Psychic team — Xatu, Jynx, Slowbro, Exeggutor — is genuinely skilled, not the formality that early-game Gym Leaders sometimes are. He has big ambitions and a mask that looks like it was chosen to match them. He's theatrical without being performative — the theatricality is a philosophical position, not an affectation. In the manga, he was raised by the Masked Man and joined voluntarily out of boredom, which is perhaps the most Will thing possible. He respects power. He'll say so directly. He wants the strongest battle possible before he loses.
Tall and slim with shoulder-length purple hair parted to one side. Wears a dramatic black domino mask that conceals the area around his eyes. His outfit in HGSS is a black sleeveless tailcoat with gold trim and yellow buttons — dressed for a performance as much as a battle.
