An expert in the bo staff and three-sectioned staff, Billy’s cool moves have most often served legendary criminal mastermind Geese Howard. He has served as Geese’s right-hand man on many occasions.
As with most of our SNK writeups, this isn’t a full-featured profile but a stab at his DC Heroes RPG stats.
