I can't believe that crazy bitch sent someone to find me.[2]
— William talking to the Heroes

William Powell is a survivor featured in Dead Island.

Background[]

He is a concierge at Royal Palms Resort[3], and the husband of Kelly.[4] He is the primary focus of the side-quest Family Matters given by Max, in which the Hero must locate him. The player finds him in a Diamond bungalow on the beach along with multiple intoxicated men and women. When the Hero talks to him, he explains he does not want to see his wife,[5] and allows the Hero to take anything from the bungalow.[6] He then tells the Hero to inform his wife that he is dead, claiming it's for the best.[7] He remains in the Diamond Bungalows until the end of the game.

Appearance[]

William is a middle aged man with balding black hair and a clean shaven face. Like most male survivors in the Resort, William wears a pair of swimming trunks with no shirts or shoes. The trunks are black and white. He also wears sunglasses, despite being indoors, as well as a bead necklace, and an orange and green wrist band on his right wrist.[8]

Quotes[]

I'm not in love with her. I'm in love with someone else...
— Idle dialogue before talking to him

I can't believe that crazy bitch sent someone to find me. The whole world's going to hell and the last person I want to be with is that goddamn wife of mine.
— William angrily ranting to the Heroes

Trivia[]

  • He clearly doesn't care about his wife, calling her a crazy bitch and expressing a great desire to not be with her.[9]
  • He's also an adulterer, as when you find him in the bungalow, he is sitting up on the bed with a woman next to him.
  • He possibly could have been sleeping with other women before the outbreak as well, since he clearly hasn't resisted it after it.
  • Kelly and Max both believe William is hiding out with his friend, Doyle.[10] While Doyle isn't seen, he may be one of the other intoxicated men in the bungalow.
  • William's height is 6'1", as stated by Max.[11]
