Background:

Born on Freeport 2 in 786 AS William, is the younger of the Cross twins and has always known life as a Zoner. Raised in true Zoner fashion, the boys always tried to maintain an outward appearance of neutrality, though privately each had their own likes and dislikes for other peoples.

Their father operated a Rhino freighter called Ironside, and he regularly made runs to Freeport 1 in the Omegas to supply the station. He also made runs to Freeport 9 and Freeport 5 if the contract paid enough. Once the boys were old enough their father taught both how to fly the Ironside. Through their teenage years the boys worked a multitude of jobs, usually for their father's friends, where they learned many skills they would use in adulthood.

In the boy's nineteenth year they lost both their father and mother when the Ironside was destroyed on its way to Freeport 11. All reports indicate a Nomad attack, though very little debris was found as most of it burned up in Gammu's atmosphere.

In 806 AS, William took a job offer from a family friend in Liberty. He became a private security guard on planet Texas for a small engineering firm. William eventually made his way back to Freeport 2 and was hired as the stations head of security after his ex boss recommended him. Becoming a member of the Council of Zoners shortly thereafter William was very vocal in his distaste for Aurelia Silvan.

After spending a vacation aboard the Mon'Kal helping Victor run the ship, William left Freeport 2 and became a security pilot for Omicron Supply Industries. He regularly scouted ahead of the Mon'Kal, always keeping his brother one step ahead of the local pirates. When Victor became CEO, he made William captain of the Mon'Kal. William cherished the chance to follow in his father and brother's steps.

The Mon'Kal was severely damaged when an explosive on Corfu Base nearly tore the station apart. The explosion tore a hole in the side of the Mon'Kal venting her cargo and atmosphere into space. William survived, though he fell into a deep coma, only coming out of it many many months later. Shortly after his recovery William, Victor, and many of their family and friends left known space on the Elysium, a recent purchase by the Cross family. Nothing is known of their journey in the unknown regions.

Months after their departure the Crosses returned, William using family assets to acquire a ZBT he dubbed the Tydirium. As with his brother, he was offered employment with OSI once word of their return had reached the company's directors.

While Victor runs Cornucopia Manufacturing, William manages the transport fleet owned by the Cross family, all of which are employed by Omicron Supply Industries. The Tydirium captained by William, the Liberi Vivite captained by Scott, the Penumbra captained by Lloyd, and the Severance captained by Jason form the fleet that William manages.
