raised in a single parent home, william couldn’t tell you much about his mother, as she died while giving birth to his younger brother ( ethan ). by pictures alone, though, she seemed to be a beautiful soul, and his father’s stories of her proved that assumption to be true. the two lovers had abandoned their pack, and set off to raise their own little family. william never considered his dad to be a romantic, but the love the senior dewitt held onto for his former wife sure made him seem like one.
as william grew older, it was expected that he take over the family owned carpentry business when the time came, but he really wasn’t interested. instead, he passed off the torch for his younger brother to handle and set off to make a name for himself.
fresh out of high school, he signed up to join the army, movie ideals and hopes of glory swimming in his head. ditched the small town life to be a hero but basic training slapped the dreamer right out of him, he learned discipline and a great deal of survival tactics. and, to his surprise, ethan signed up and was stationed with william a few short years after his own initial depature.
one bonus of signing up was that they fully paid for his secondary education. with the knowledge already gained from the family business, william took a course and wrote several tests to be licensed in carpentry.
he served a full tour of duty overseas, so he has plenty of stories of the various missions he’d been apart of, but there’s also a handful of memories / incidents that he refuses to speak of. while he served honorably, william lowkey hated every minute of his military service.
while on a mission, his squad was ambushed, their humvee was destroyed and fell from a cliff into the river below. william survived the crash and swam out to the wreckage in hopes of finding survivors, only to pull eight bodies back to shore, including his own brother. emotionally traumatized by ethan’s untimely death and the unfortunate fate of his squad mates, william decided to leave the military.
after being discharged, he moved to mystic falls and quickly became involved with the town’s pack, longing to regain a feeling of family that he’d lost with his squad. fast forward a decade, william’s working the trade he had initially turned his back on, helping build around his community.

dumbass hero syndrome — will stick his neck out for anyone / everyone, even if it means he could end up being a snack. wasn’t able to be there for his brother in his time of need, so in wylie’s mind, helping other people by any means necessary is his only link to redemption.
has reoccurring night terrors, cold sweats, the whole shebang. potentially suffering from undiagnosed ptsd & does well to keep it under wraps with his burly disposition.
started up his own business shortly after settling into town. he’s a certified carpenter & roofer, so he’ll do work for any commercial or residential buildings. probably leaves his business cards all over town, pinned to community boards, stapled to wooden poles, etc.
