Astrad left [[Betazed]] to start a new life. He ended up on [[Earth]] working in wineries in France, where he met Wil's grandmother, Hayley, an Australian studying viticulture in France. Hayley and Astrad eventually married, and moved to Australia to run a winery in relatively insular community that at the time was resentful of the [[Federation]], which suited Astrad. Astrad and Hayley had two children - Sally (female) and Anacem (male - Wil's father).

Anacem studied Oenology, becoming a wine maker. Whilst in Fremantle on the night before a wine maker’s conference, Anacem met his future wife, Stacey. Stacey was born in Melbourne, Australia but moved to Fremantle after she joined Starfleet as a tactical officer. Stacey and Anacem married quickly after their first meeting, and soon after had their first and only child, Wil.

Wil’s home has always been Fremantle, but he went to school in Sydney, Auckland, and Beijing. He is very close to his mother Stacey, and from a young age wanted to join Starfleet to be like his Mum. Throughout his life, he spent much of his time pulling apart and putting back together all manner of technology and reverse engineering software systems, which is how he came to have a technical mind. He also spent a lot of time at his grandparent’s winery - he has a great relationship with them, especially with Astrad.

There was nothing special or extraordinary about Wil's upbringing - until his teenage years. At age 16, Wil (like his grandfather) developed strong empathic abilities, which Wil struggled with, affecting his education. He received counselling from several Earth stationed Betazoids to help him cope, and at age 17 he even received several counselling sessions from a Vulcan, which helped him immensely. Wil has no telepathic abilities.
Before joining Starfleet Academy, Wil took a "gap year" (that ended up being almost two years), which is why he was slightly older than other cadets.
 
 
{{Heading|Betazoid Ancestory|Gold}}
Wil has never been to Betazed. However, unlike his half Betazoid father, Wil had an interest in Betazed throughout his childhood years. In recent years, he has grown more curious about his Betazoid heritage, and Betazoid culture in general.  Wil has decided he wants to "go back" to Betazed and feels like he needs to - almost as if Betazed is calling him.  Wil sees Astrad as his kindred connection to Betazed, and Astrad has suggested that maybe Wil can connect with Betazoids better than he himself ever did.
 
Being only one-quarter Betazoid, Wil looks human, and does not have black irises like his father or grandfather.  While he knows that his being one-quarter Betazoid is on his personnel file, he is happy for people to think he is human. He does not bring up his Betazoid heritage, unless prompted.
 
 
{{Heading|Inherited Empathic Abilities|Gold}}
There was nothing special or extraordinary about Wil's upbringing - until his teenage years. At age 16, Wil (like his grandfather) developed strong empathic abilities, which Wil struggled with, affecting his education. He received counselling from several Earth stationed Betazoids to help him cope, with limited success.
 
Just after he turned 17, his worried mother Stacey asked T'Rav, a fellow Starfleet officer from Vulcan who was temporarily stationed on Earth, to counsel him. Wil received several counselling sessions from T'Rav, which helped him immensely.  
 
Wil considers the empathic part of his heritage as a burden, but has grown accustomed to it as "just being there".  Given his human appearance, having empathic abilities is something he keeps to himself and only discusses with close friends and family.
 
His empathic abilities can cause some nervousness in Wil, and he is not sure the human part of him is equipped to deal with it - even after his extensive counselling in his late teens, and no medical evidence to support his theory.

{{Heading|Music Interests|Gold}}
When he was 16, one of the Betazoid counsellors had told him to try to appreciate the emotions expressed in art.  Ultimately, he discovered music of his native Earth of the mid-20th to early 21st century. Not only was he surprised there was so much of it and of many different genres he'd never heard of, he also found a lot of it conveyed raw emotions. At first, he thought most of the music of that time was poor quality, but he kept going back to it - and eventually acquired a taste for a lot of it.

Wil has a wicked, cheeky sense of humour.  He likes to make fun in most situations, in a fun and friendly type of way - which doesn't always go down well.  However he mostly seems to get away with it.

His empathic abilities can cause some nervousness in Wil, as he considers himself a human that happens to have empathic abilities, and is not sure the human part of him is equipped to deal with it - even though he had extensive counselling in his late teens.  Given his human appearance, having empathic abilities is something he keeps to himself and only discusses with close friends and family.
