Origins
William, now known as Rum, of house Knight was born in the city of Taranusha before the Audalian invasion. His father was never present and he was raised by his mother who worked in a tavern making her living as the bar keep. William did not have many friends growing up other than his cousin Iram (WhiskeyKnight) who was a few years older than him. During the sacking of the city, his mother died protecting him from the invaders stopping a blade with her own body. William fled the city and became a wandering nomad for a time. During the time of the Petersburg Secession, he was in the continent of Haven. After the secession, William decided to join the Western Host, the mercenary group that sided with Petersburg. After traveling for 3 days, he ended up in Loremere, a city in the Heart of Haven in the newly founded Empire of Uldarash.

Loremere:
After joining the Kingdom of Loremere and meeting the leader of the kingdom Count Squirrel, he found himself with a renewed purpose. He decided to help this new nation however way possible. He started to gather materials for Count Squirrel and his upcoming home. He became an adviser to the Count as they become close friends. He started to work on the towns defenses and built a guard tower that still stands to this day at the tip of the bay where the town was situated. However soon afterward, Count Squirrel had a new task for him. William was to gather a few people and start his own town a little while up the coast.

Crest Town:
William did as he was ordered and got two people to join him, one being Timeken, a citizen of Sanctuary and a renowned builder. William founded the town of Crest-Town, named after the magnificent crests of the waves in the Heart. By doing this, he earned himself the title of Count within the Empire and thus making Count Squirrel a duke. William started with earnest on his new town. He and Timeken started to clear the forest for wood and to make room. William had Timeken create a few temp houses while William started working the fortress that is still there. Around this time, the Empire formed its military and the newly appointed Minister of War WhiskeyKnight made William the Captain of the National Guard. Although hearing his cousins name, William was failed to recognize that his cousin just became the Minister of War. For a time, life was peaceful. William explored the continent twice and both times found new people just starting their towns. Duke Squirrel gained more citizens and incorporated two new towns in to his kingdom thus promoting him to King Squirrel. He needed a duke and he promoted William to that position. However this peace did not last. The Minedodge Insurgency of Uldarash starts and William is at the head of the defense of Uldarash (see Notable Events below). Soon after this, the Great Golden War starts which William participates in (see Notable Events below). After this, the Rouge Goblin Brothers started their terrorism and William started a hunt against them, going where ever they went and trying to stop them. However, he was unsuccessful in his work and thus he started to lose interest in his town. Many people have left his town and his close friend King Squirrel had left and was nowhere to be seen. During this time, Uldarash went through a reform and with Emperor Dentro falling sick, the council of lords elected WhiskeyKnight to be Regent Emperor until everything had calmed down. With this new leadership, Whiskey made William Minister of War. Some time after this, during the Festival of Rathnir, William sacrificed his town for the spirits and received gear in the form of netherite from the gods. William thus moved to Hapatmitas and took up residence there.

Hapatmitas:
After moving into Hapatmitas, William started brewing his own alcohol and created the Four Drunken Knights Tavern. William created his own alcohol which became known as the Knight Series and he became famous for his rum, this earning himself the nickname "RumKnight". During this process, Rum, Whiskey, and Whiskey's sons, Gin and Tequila formed the SpiritKnights, the first line of succession in the Empire of Uldarash. Rum finished his tavern and soon had a barfight there with many people. It became a battle royal and the winner received a powerful crossbow named Drunken Shot. After this, Uldarash was peacful. However, once again, the peace did not last. Uldarash and a few other nations formed the Crecent Concordant (CC). Soon after its creation, the Solsdom Event occurs and William is made second in command of the CC's forces for the event (see Notable Events below).
