Personality
Will was a cheerful and innocent kid when he was still a kid, he was confident and flirty back then and still is. The lost of his mother has made him more closed, made him believe that the world is a cruel place because of the gods, he opens up more to his fellow men, but he's cold toward immortals. He can be patience, but when angry, he loses almost all self control. He's kind-hearted deep down, but sometimes can be really selfish.

History
Stella Nightblaze was a twenty eight year old, beautiful and successful Japanese businesswoman who lived in the states where she first met Will's father. There they fell in love, but it was only love for a couple of weeks. Will's father left under a mysterious circumstance. Will was born nine months later, having only Stella to raise him all by herself. Will's early childhood was happy, Stella brought Will back to Japan and she was a fine mom; she loved him fiercely, she never knew what Will was or who his father actually was, but she always knew that there's something special about her son. Will never questioned the absence of his father; he was happy just having his mother at his side. Will was a smart, quick witted kid, he did well in school, and was physically healthy and strong. He was into everything, dabbling a little bit in every kind of sports. Sadly though, when Will turned eight, his mother was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. Stella fought her disease as long as she could, but she was taken away from Will when he turned eleven; his mother passed away. The day Stella passed away, Will spent the entire rainy day sitting in front of his mother's grave, clutching tightly the memento that his mother gave him right before she passed away. Abandoned by his father and left by his mother, Will turned into an orphan. For the first time ever, he lost the will to live, hoped nothing for tomorrow, missing his mother's embrace in the cold dark rainy night.

His uncle brought Will to his house, back in Manhattan. Will lived there until he turned twelve. One day, when he was twelve years old, he stayed late at school because it was his duty to clean up his class that day. The road he took that day was different than usual because of a roadblock. The sky was dark and there was no one around. Will came across a certain someone, two actually, two women... And they had no legs, they had serpent trunks instead, Scythian Dracanae. Will was attacked that day, his first attack from a monster. Faced with the unknown, it was the first time Will ever felt fear, real cold fear. Will ran, stumbling all over the place as he cried for help, but no one showed up. He wasn't able to run very far before the two dracanae finally caught up to him and cornered him. Will was then tossed around a couple of times by the two monsters, being played around like a toy for fun. Scraped, bruised, and wounded; he would have died but at the last minute, he was saved by an adult demigod. The demigod was a traveler; she was dedicated to hunting bad monsters that were causing a lot of damages to innocent people. It was then that she told Will what he really was, a demigod. Will was angry, he had a father this whole time and his father was a god. His father lifted no finger to help his mother when she had cancer, and he surely didn't when Will almost died. His father didn't show up for his mother's funeral, never called Will once, never did anything. The adult demigod told Will about the camp, a safe haven for children like him, but Will, not wanting to have anything to do with the gods, denied the adult demigod's advice. He decided that he wanted to see the world, now that he knew he was a demigod, so he pleaded for the adult demigod to take Will in his travel. He held a grudge against his father that soon turned into a grudge against all the gods. The adult demigod  saw what Will could become, so she decided to teach him about the kindness of the gods, she became Will's mentor and took him with her in her travel. Will visited his uncle one last time, telling him what he was about to do. His uncle refused at first, but Will didn't give in, he kept expressing his wishes. It helped that his mentor explained to Will's uncle what Will really is. Finally, Will's uncle learned that he could not contain Will in his home, his belonged somewhere else. Will's uncle had always been a good judge of characters, and he had a choice to make, to let his nephew find his own way or lose him completely. So he let Will traveled with the adult demigod, in the exchange that Will send him letters from time to time. Will still honored that promise until this day.

Will spent the next five years seeing the outer world, learning many kinds of martial arts, weapons; training with chinese monks, a japanese swordmaster, and so on. He used the money that his mother had inherited him to travel the world, his mother inherited quite a lot of money, being a successful businesswoman. It was enough to fund Will's expedition throughout the world. His mentor gave Will a golden pocketwatch that can turn into a celestial bronze sword, as a means to protect himself. Will lived in various cities, Beijing, Singapore, Bern, Jakarta, London, moving from one place to another, never staying for more than six months at each city. They were attacked many times by monsters during their travel, if they didn't look for a fight themselves. Fighting became almost a weekly basis for Will. He stayed the longest in Tokyo, for two years, monster attacks were high those couple of years, and they had to stay longer than usual because it was his mentor's job to help reduce the attacks. Will took this chance to rediscover his heritage and learning the disciplines of the old Japanese people. It fascinated him to know that his family was once an honorable samurai family, the name Sanada was once his mother's real family name, and now he knew that it is his as well. His mentor kept telling him about the camp, what a great place it is, she told Will about what seemed to be paradise, no monster attacks, lots of trustworthy comrades. After five years since he first discovered what he really is, under the guidance of an adult female demigod, his hatred slowly diminished, but he could never forget what the gods have done for him. It was then, under one fleetful evening, they were tracking down a monster to a dark alley in Tokyo but was ambushed by a group of cyclops. After a brutal fight, Will and the adult demigod won, but at a cost. Will's mentor was badly injured, and she wasn't going to make it. With her last breath, she asked Will to go to camp, a place where he would be safe. He was angry; again, the gods have failed to save someone he cared about, but he was unable to decline his mentor's last wish. He finally agreed to live at camp.

Finding a satyr was easy after that, they're always looking for demigods, Will just made himself easier to find. He stopped moving around and a satyr finally found him. Will agreed to leave for camp right away. They both took an airplane to New York, and went straight to camp. Will was already seventeen years old when he first arrived at camp. Will's mentor was a good woman, and she loved the the camp, so Will wanted to try to love the place as well, but his heart was still caught in between the good side and the bad side. He ponders, even now, whether his goal is to be a son of Olympus, or try to be its destroyer.
