Marion "Bill" Williamson is a major antagonist the 2010 action-adventure video game Red Dead Redemption and a major character in its 2018 prequel Red Dead Redemption 2.

He was voiced by Steve J. Palmer.
What Make Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He is extremely belligerent, rude and violent, which stems from serious anger issues.
- He can be especially aggressive and vicious when drunk.
- He is generally crude and nasty toward his fellow Van der Linde gang members and bullies those with less power, especially Kieran Duffy and Lenny Summers.
- He holds racist views, being strongly discriminated against Native Americans and also showing this in his bullying of Lenny and drunkenly picking a fight with Javier Escuella.
- He is quite sadistic, gleefully torturing Kieran (i.e. trying to castrate him) and laughing when one of his men shoots John.
- He is noticeably stupid and reckless, which also makes him a laughingstock among the Van der Linde gang.
- Before joining the Van der Linde gang, he was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army for attempted murder and deviancy.
- He turns against John Marston and Arthur Morgan to side with Dutch van der Linde and Micah Bell, even after Dutch goes insane and Micah is revealed to be the rat.
- After the dissolution of the Van der Linde gang, he entirely subverts any sort of kindness and sympathetic qualities he once had and becomes nothing more than a barbarous, sadistic outlaw that continues to commit atrocities with a gang of his own:
- He and his gang commit a massacre at Ridgewood Farm, killing the men and assaulting/raping the women.
- They burn down a ranch and kidnap, brutally beat and try to hang Bonnie MacFarlane, an innocent farmer.
- He escapes justice by fleeing to Mexico, where he works as a hitman for the brutal dictator Agustin Allende until John hunts him down.
- He proves to be a disloyal coward during his confrontation with John, preferring to taunt and send his men after him over directly fighting him and will never battle John unless from a distance and backed by his army. He opts to flee with Allende and leave his men to fight for him, only to be betrayed and get his just deserts.
Trivia[]
- He is a rare example of a Hate Sink having a page on the Heroes Wiki. Although giving his almost wholly unhinged and hostile attitude to people around, he hardly can be called a one, not to mention that he ended up being an antagonist.
