William Paradene West
A.k.a. Bill the Conqueror, Bill West is an ex-Harvard man, where he was on the football team and became good friends with Judson Coker, but running more to muscle than brain, neglected his studies somewhat. For a time he drifted aimlessly, supported by a generous allowance from his wealthy uncle Cooley, but on falling for Coker's beauteous sister Alice, he resolves to reform and take a job. A large, strong and reliable chap, he is adored by Flick Sheridan, whose life he saved when they were younger, and secretly adores her, keeping the secret even from himself.
