Billy or Lord Bill, is a major character in Phoenotopia and presumably in its sequel Phoenotopia 2 and a mentioned-only character in Phoenotopia: Awakening. He is a Stellanite who acts as a guide to Gale for the later parts of the story. At the end, he is revealed to be a villain.
Description
Billy is a member of the Stellanites, a space-faring race that descends from the ancient humans who left Earth after it was ravaged by the Great War. Much like the other Stellanites, he is a tall humanoid with pale blue skin and long, pointy ears. Billy himself seems to be a direct descendant of royalty or a high class family who kept possession of the key to controlling the Phoenix Weapons that remain hidden on Earth.
History
Billy is first contacted after bringing the golem head which Gale found in the Old Ruins to Thomas. After bringing him to Panselo alongside Prince Leo and some other guards, he reveals himself to be a Stellanite, a race that is believed to be the distant cousins of Earth humans. He is a tall figure with blueish skin and long ears. Although he seems to be concerned about saving the earth from the Galactic Federation invaders, after reaching the Phoenix weapons, he reveals his true intentions of waging a total war against the Federation with the purpose of annihilating them entirely. When Gale objects to this, he has her shot by one of his soldiers and, seeing that she didn't die, orders Phoenix 66 to kill her. After both Gale and 66 are abducted by a collector ship, Billy reveals that his intention was not just destroying the Federation but becoming the King of Earth as well. He'd allow the Federation's harvesters to wreak havoc on Earth and would only appear with his Phoenixes after most of the humans were either dead or captured. When humans came to him and begged him to be their king, he'd refuse at first but then concede to their request.
Trivia
- Although Billy never appears in Phoenotopia Awakening due to being replaced by Bart, he is mentioned by a Stellanite named Coby in Pristine City who claims that Bart has a brother known as Lord Bill, confirming that Billy still exists in the Phoenotopia universe. Unlike his brother, who's good-hearted but not very bright, he's described as a smart but cold and ruthless individual.
