Billy Wilde

Billy Wilde is the Lieutenant of the Convicts in both games, and a natural-born maniac. He is Hard Balls' second in command. In the first game he is shown with a straight-jacket, a full face-mask, and one side of his head shaved. Thoroughly ruthless with a twisted sense of humor, he is feared by all but Hard Balls. He is America's most infamous arsonist. Born into a rich family, his criminal tendencies were apparent at the tender age of four where he attempted to set fire to a petrol station on a family outing. Fortunately for the family their Nanny intervened, only suffering minor burns. As he matured his criminal insanity grew to epic proportions.

Following a string of similar incidents Wilde was sent to an orphanage and moved from family to family, leaving burnt out carcasses of family homes with each rehousing. At eighteen, Wilde was first sent to prison where he continued his infamous fiery career. Finally it was decided that he be sent to Fort Asten Maximum Security Prison where he was bound in a straight jacket and masked to ensure that he could do no further damage. He is considered to be one of the most dangerous and intelligent criminals in the United States. He is prone to escaping custody.
