Will Michaels was a successful doctor in West Virginia.
Background and History[]
Will was diagnosed with leukemia but it was not terminal. Later on, his body accepted the chemo and he surpassed his cancer. He is a doctor in the hospital where Katy's mom works.
Onyx[]
As he and Kellie are getting more and more serious. He also attends Katy's 18 birthday dinner with Kellie. He also stays over at Katy's house and Katy is a little suspicious about him. He keeps reminding Katy that he is not trying to be her new dad. Katy also suspects that he saw her using her powers but she is weirded out that he didn't say anything.
After Adam's death the next day at school Katy is called to the principal's office and Will informs her there that her mother has been in an accident and that they should go to the hospital but on the way there Will drugs her. He kidnapped her to a warehouse and put her in a cage. Later he tells why he put her in a cage and turns out he is using her as leverage to get Daemon Black to turn him into a Hybrid like Katy. He shoots himself in the foot so that Daemon can heal him, providing Daemon the location of Dawson to prevent being killed right after Katy's release. Daemon plays him and Katy and Daemon escape.
Opal[]
In Opal, Will comes back to West Virginia with a vengeance. The healing done by Daemon did not work and Will is once again suffering from leukemia, but a terminal kind. He blames this on Daemon, but realizing he could never take his revenge on him, he goes to Katy's home, where he sits and waits in Katy's Kitchen knowing that if he kills Katy, Daemon will be killed right along with her.
When she comes home, she finds him in the kitchen, holding a gun, ready to fire at her and kill her. But before he can do that, Katy goads him with insults and self-pity. Katy uses the Source to take away the gun and push him away from her, but before she can do that Will fires and hits her in the middle of the chest. At the same time, Katy throws a powerful ball of light towards Will, which in his current state of weakness, ends up killing him.
Physical Description[]

But, in Opal he grows to look gravely, his eyes almost translucent. His hair is gone, leaving random batches of hair throughout his spotted head.
