Biographical Information
William Cathers was born in a rich and successful family. His father was a famous Captain in the UNSC, and his mother was his father's Executive Officer. His mother, Commander Rebecca Cathers, died while in Will's child labor.

Will's sister, Pvt. Jennifer Cathers, was announced MIA and assumed KIA when Will was only eight. This began Will’s personal hatred for the Covenant, it was now more than them destroying planets and killing millions… It was about them taking away his sister.

Will was sent to a military academy at the age of twelve when he decided to walk in his parent’s footsteps. After a few years though, Will decided the Marines were best for him. Will trained harder then ever, because he knew if he didn’t, he would die.

After graduating from the military academy at age eighteen, Will joined the UNSC Marines. Will stayed with the standard Marine Corps until he gained the rank of Lance Corporal, afterwards, he applied and was selected into the elite ODSTs.

Cap. William Cathers I, Will's dad, was killed in action by Covenant on his ship the Impervious when Will was twenty-one. It struck Will hard, but he continued active duty in the Marines despite the loss.

In 2551, Scorpion Squad was founded; the command was given to SSgt. Cannon Hentan, and after reviewing many candidates, he chose Cpl. Will Cathers and Cpl. Jan Paeton as his executive officers. Other ODSTs were assigned into the squad until it was full.

Scorpion squad was very active during the Battle for Earth. Unbelievably, none of the squad leaders were killed, despite their bravery. Will received a bad plasma burn in the left leg, but it eventually healed.

After the Fall of Earth, Scorpion Squad replaced their dead squad mates; replacements included Pvt. Thor Rethan and LCpl. Hicks. Although Will got along with Hicks quite well, he never trusted Thor after learning about the incident before joining Scorpion Squad. --SEE PVT. THOR RETHAN'S FILE FOR DETAILS--
