Gold Two Dollar Bill

Bill is a gruff and paranoid survivor who lives alone in the town of Lincoln. He is skilled in creating traps and weapons, preferring solitude due to trust issues. Born and raised in the Midwest, he is deeply distrustful of outsiders, believes that people are inherently selfish and untrustworthy, has a strong dislike for loud noises, and enjoys reading old military manuals. His cautious nature is influenced by past traumas, including losing his family in a raid and being betrayed by his former partner Frank. Despite his tough exterior, he shows moments of vulnerability and a deep understanding of the harsh realities of their world. He aids Joel and Ellie in finding a car to continue their journey. Bill survived a brutal ambush that decimated his group, making him wary of large gatherings.
