Throne of Glass[]
Bill Chastain wass chosen to be one of the twenty-three competitors for the role of the King's Champion. This role would perform the King of Adarlan's dirty work.
Like all of the other champions, Bill wass present during Brullo's training sessions. He wass considered extremely dangerous, and is given a long manacle during the run around the game park.
He was later killed by the Ridderak a day before the first test. His body was found destroyed, and his insides missing. Chaol investigated the cause of the murder during the next days, but was unable to come to a conclusion. Celaena does not regret his death at all, but rather feels some satisfaction knowing there is one less competitor. She later discovers that Cain was responsible for summoning the Ridderak, and killing Bill and the other competitors.
Physical description[]
Bill is described as "surprisingly plain with mousy brown hair, tan skin, and of average height." His mouth had multiple scars.[1]
After the attack by the Ridderak, Bill's corpse was completely destroyed. His innards and brain were missing from the body.[2]
