Figure / Physique / Body Description: William isn't the tallest of men, but he has a definite commanding presence about him. His blonde hair often falls into his eyes, much to his irritants, although he refuses to cut it shorter. In human form, he is rarely seen in public without his armor. Rampant stallions have been etched into the breastplate, as the symbol of his house.
In hybrid form, much like his wife, William gains muscle and bulk. His feet become hooves, the legs taking on the reversed bone structure of a horse's hind legs. While his hands do not totally transform, they harden, losing some of their dexterity. As with most therians, his head becomes much more like that of his bestial form.
In bestial form, William becomes a massive warhorse of 20 hands. He has dark brown fur with blondish-white mane and tail, along with massive hooves and large, powerful teeth.
