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. | He is close to his mother Stacey, and from a young age wanted to join Starfleet to be like his Mother.

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. When he first joined Statfleet, he did not bring up his Betazoid heritage, unless prompted. However that changed during his Starfleet career and now does not shun his Betazoid side as much. | Being only one-quarter Betazoid, Wil looks human, and does not have black irises like his father or grandfather.
