Biography
William grew up just wanting to make people laugh, in order to do so, he crafted a ventriloquist dummy called Rocket, over the years, William continued to train to become the greatest ventriloquist of all, however, at the age of 32, during his first performance, the audience proved to have hated him, or, more specifically, his jokes, he felt betrayed by humanity for his rejection and since he spent so much money on his ventriloquism, he was broke, he turned to a life of crime to make ends meet, however, Rocket always tried to talk him out of it, trying to explain to him that there was a better way, but William never listened.

William developed the nickname of Puppeteer, due to him always bringing Rocket with him during his crimes, and, if anyone made fun of him for it, he would kill them. He first encountered Red Ryder when trying to rob a bank with a mask, but Ryder was able to stop him, however, Jeffery got away. When Ryder tried to contact the police, he noticed Puppeteer had left behind Rocket, he checked online and found out who owned the puppet, William. Police believed that William had MPD, and that he belived that Rocket was convincing him to commit crimes, however, upon finding William, he realised that William was the criminal and Rocket was really his conscience telling him to do the right thing, Ryder was able to defeat William and arrest him, upon entering his cell, he saw Rocket on his bed and was happy to be reunited with him.
