Bill the Elder is a minor antagonist in the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House, serving as the main antagonist of the Season 2 episode "Edge of the World" and a minor character in the series finale "Watching and Dreaming".
He is a genocidal witch who lives in the Demon Realm's far end as the leader of the Titan Trappers, a cult which helped a species of gods known as the Collectors hunt down all Titans with one exception. Bill intends to kill the last Titan, King Clawthorne, so he can free the Collector and be rewarded, having mistaken him for his tribe's true deity, the Grand Huntsman.
He is voiced by Chris Houghton.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He supported the Collectors and the other Titan Trappers in killing many Titans over his years, to the point that the Titan Trapper Island is decorated in the bones of Titans, while lying to his followers, who were born too late to see a living Titan, that Titans are evil so they can join him.
- Not even the infants were safe as Luz and Hooty discovered a room decorated with their bones and, by the looks of the Titan Trappers' masks, they likely came from baby Titans.
- When he realized that King is the Titan they were looking for, he had no qualms with trying to sacrifice him in order to free The Collector.
- As the Collectors are a species of nigh-invincible godlike beings and Bill must have at least heard of their power (given his worship of the Grand Huntsman, who is a Collector), he also must be aware of what the Collector would be capable of if freed, but does not care as long as he is rewarded.
- Despite claiming to his tribe that the Collector would bring all of them glory, he accidentally revealed that he wants all the glory for himself.
- As seen in "King's Tide", King doesn't need to die to free the Collector, and while it's unknown if Bill knew this or not, if he did, then he tried to kill King out of nothing but sadism and to finally wipe out all Titans.
- While he did initially agree to help Luz and Hooty fight Emperor Belos after they said that a lot of people are in danger, it's only because he views Belos as "no big deal" when compared to the Titans, and he subverts it after he realized they were helping a Titan.
- Additionally, Bill saying he will have glory "above all others" shows he does not care for anyone and he's driven only by power.
- While he was turned into a puppet by the Collector before "Watching and Dreaming", this isn't played for sympathy in the slightest.
- While he has comedic moments, they don't detract from his heinousness, especially since most of them come before the reveal that he's evil.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He suffers from Fridge Horror as his role in the Titan genocide is unknown, since his wording of "going from Titan Trappers to Titan Slayers" implies he has never actually killed a Titan in his life and only helped the Archivists to finish them off, and while he would pass the standards if he was shown getting a lot of Titans killed this way, it's equally possible that Bill managed to only get a few Titans killed in a species of thousands.
- While the Titan Trapper Island is littered with corpses, that doesn't mean all of them were killed by Bill himself, especially since this was the Huntsman's main hunting ground and both Bill and Tarak mention passing down Titan skulls to future generations.
