Dr. William Zimmerman

He is a lead on Sanctuary. He is recruited by Helen Magnus to become her protage. He had a hell of a childhood. His father died in Normandy. He was terrorized by violent creatures who killed his mother. He was saved by Helen Magnus. He was a victim of Bigfoot, before he became Helens butler. He worked in the FBI, and lost his job because his theories were so outlandish. He is a brilliant forensic psychologist and a master of behavioral science. He can uncover the most hidden human emotions and solve crimes with them. He has a fascination with the supernatural and explaining horrible crimes. These both demolished his respect from his peers. Magnus popped into the picture again, and offers him a position in her Sanctuary. He shows a lot of promise as her second in command. 

Will discovers a new and strange world that was easier for him to accept because of his mother’s death. Before he joined the Sanctuary staff, he was a police forensic psychiatrist. 
He possesses a natural empathic ability and a sense of deeper reasoning in looking beyond the surface to see what is really there.

The world Helen Magnus introduces him to be unbelievable yet plausible to him. He finds this world to be fantastically wondrous.

Even though he was less confident at first, when he gained the trust of his first patient he proved himself as a valuable member of the Sanctuary team.

When Magnus reveals her deepest secret to Will, he decides to stay. His mother’s death by an Abnormal motivates him further in the investigation of Abnormals.
