The other weapon he carries is the Temporal Blade, he knows it is a powerful sword that has powers associated with time, however, he is still learning to control these powers as the Temporal Blade was recently given to him.

He has a large round mythril shield with his families emblem on it. The shield was imbued with an aura that allows the user to block more melee and projectile and even some magical attacks. For his main armor, he wears full plate mail made with enchanted mythril that can protect the user from heat and lightning based attacks. He wears a full helmet to protect his head from any blows. He wears the Blood Gaunlets of ancient wizard Arcamanies.

(he has also recently received Temporal Training - part of Temporal Disturbance RPG)
Appearance: William is a 6 foot 5 man whose skin has been tanned by his many days of training in the desert wastelands of the north. He has light blue eyes and long light brown hair that comes to his shoulders. When not in armor, he wears a loose fitting clothes of white or just light colors that seem to befit a person of his standing. If he is at home or away from civilization in training for a period of time he will where more ragged clothes that have been used before during his trainings and clearly show it with the rips and tears in them. He has a few scratches on his muscular arms and has a small scar about a centimeter long behind his right ear from his training days as a child. He would seem lanky but he has muscle that counteract that look.
History: Born into a merchant family that was friends with the local lord, William didn't have too hard of an upbringing all together. Lord Sharington, the local lord, looked favorably upon William and invited him to become an apprentice of his finest knight. William was very excited and showed much enthusiasm in his training and showed very promising results. William was a gifted youth and rose to become knighted in just 3 years at age 16. Shortly after there was a war in the Kingdom of Worshire brought on by invaders from the unknown lands of the north. King Langthan summoned his many lords to help fight for the kingdom and to bring their finest knights and soldiers. William was there, of course, and fought very bravely on the front line during many of the largest engagements, most notably at the Battle of Dire Keep. At that battle Lord Sharington was gravely wounded by an arrow to the chest, and with his dying breaths told William to lead his men to victory in what seemed to be their hour of doom. In those passing moments, there was a pivotal moment for William, for he asked God to give him the power to strike down his enemy and he would forever lead the righteous path to Zion. In a vision, William saw that the weak point of the enemy was right down the middle. In a bold last ditch effort, William led the remaining knights on a ride straight through the middle of the enemies lines and drove clear through to the commanders to render the enemy useless. After that day, William became a devout follower of the New Zion faith and thanks to a sorcerer turned monk he began to learn the Divine magics and afterwards developed many abilities on his own. William remained a commanding knight throughout the war and was dubbed a Paladin of Light for his fighting and devout lifestyle. After the war, William remained in the north to watch and guard against any further invasion from the north. This is actually where he has received the most power in all of his training, he had little to nothing holding him back in the northern wasteland but he held close to religion and he truly has become a formidable paladin. However, recent troubles from back home have recently been brought to his attention and he has returned to his homelands and was recruited by Trand's Elite Temporal Guard to help fight a terrible menace to humanity.
