Origin
Bill was recruited by General Hume into his band of cold-blooded killers, and invited to his inner circle. Hume offered Bill one of the Six, a devastating weapon that fires with the force of a cannon shell. His revolver has also provided him with layered metal skin, essentially making him bulletproof to normal gunfire.

The Sixth Gun â Bill, along with Silas Hedgepeth, Will Arcene, and Ben Kinney, were tasked with finding the secret resting place of General Hume by his widow, Missy. The band of killers located Hume, and once the General was free he was able to establish a link with his weapon, the Sixth Gun. Bill followed Arcene when he was scouting, and found Drake Sinclair instead. He learned too late that Sinclair now possessed one of the Six, and Bill was engulfed in flame. He returned to Hume’s side, badly scarred, just in time to obliterate the attacking thunderbird with a single shot. During the battle at the Maw, Bloodthirsty Bill was killed by Billjohn O’Henry. His weapon was retrieved by Sinclair.
