The protagonist of the story. He is a young man living in an American city, and though his mother is dead, his father is in good health living in his hometown.

William Rockwell
106/M/b.1831

Seizing the opportunities presented to him after discovering gold deposits in his youth, he repeatedly found success in every field he tried his hand at and amassing a great fortune all by himself, but this success was shrouded in many mysteries. His personality is a ruthless one, and he is said to be feared by those around him. He is the owner of the Orpheus, and vanishes from the public eye along with it.
