The son of Benjamin BlackBlade, William BlackBlade is the current leader of the House of Stormcrow. Calling himself the Ruler of the Eastern Realm, since his coronation he has overseen the expansion of Stormcrow's power across the continent of Kyrandia.
During the Cursed Period, he lost both his wife and father to the Demons that now plagued Kyrandia, and grew to resent Casters for allowing their release to occur.
Until recently his forces lay dormant, but now have resurfaced across the continent working alongside the same Demons that caused him so much pain.
