Willard is the intellectual and reliable leader of Yuliy's team of hunters, earning him the nickname "The Professor."

Past as an Archaeologist
He was formerly an archaeologist whose primary focus was researching the mysterious Ark of Sirius.
His life changed forever after he successfully deciphered ancient documents from Yevgraf, which revealed the Ark's location.
This discovery tragically led to the complete destruction of Dogville village.
Burdened by immense guilt for his role in the catastrophe, Willard took in Yuliy, a young survivor, as a way to atone for his past.
He later discovered a second Ark, a counterpart to the Ark of Sirius, within the ruins of Dogville.
Willard then traveled to South Sakhalin to deliver this crucial artifact to Yuliy.
