Injuries & scars
Never the best looking man, Bill has taken a shotgun blast to the face in the course of an investigation into the mafia and he has multiple jagged little scars across the side of his face from this.
Appearance and personality
Bill's a big man, tall, broad, yet he carries himself with a hunch, he seems almost shrunken within his own frame. He looks every one of his fifty years of age, world weary, with hollow eyes. He moves like everything is an effort. He speaks slowly and carefully, his southern accent blunted by all those years in Washington.
Ideology/Beliefs: There is evil in society that should be rooted out. Organised crime, corruption, and political subversion.
Traits: Loyal - When Bill gives a commitment to do something he's damn well going to follow through, no matter what.
Background
Bill Gilmore started his career with the Secret Service at the Department of the Treasury, essentially investigating federal crimes like racketeering and murder. He quickly developed a reputation as a solid investigator and was loaned out to the nascent Bureau of Investigation (BOI) to provide manpower for their own enquiries into organised crime and corruption. When the BOI was prevented from using Treasury agents he jumped at the chance to become one of the first Special Agents of the BOI (later to become the FBI). Due to his age and role he never served in the Great War but felt like he was fighting the good fight back home. His career went from strength to strength and his relentless and methodical approach garnered much praise. That was until around 1928 when his wife Wilma developed cancer. He didn't know how to handle it and threw himself into his work, Wilma died alone, while he was away on an investigation. His daughter Amanda has never forgiven him. Since then Bill's a changed man, no longer the powerful force of nature he once was, the keen intellect is still there, but the killer instinct is gone. Those that know him think he's just serving out his time until he can retire, but retire to what?
Significant People: Daughter Amanda Gilmore (key connection), all he has left since his wife Wilma died. But his relationship with Amanda is strained, she's never forgiven him for the way he threw himself into his work when her mother was sick. For his part Bill disapproves of her liberal ways and un-American beliefs. (I also rolled an NPC to be determined by the Keeper that Bill idolises)
Meaningful Locations: He can't go back to the family home, too many memories. Bill keeps a little place in Washington but it's really just somewhere to rest his head. The only place that means anything to him anymore is his office in the BOI part of the Department of Justice.
Treasured Possessions: On a gold chain around his neck, Bill wears his late wife Wilma's wedding ring.
