Origin
Bill Walsh was in the elite military school, Camp Washington, partnered with Slade Wilson. He washes out of Camp Washington and blames it on Slade. Also Bill thought that Slade had stolen his chance with Addie Kane, who was a an instructor at Camp Washington, who went on to be Slade’s wife. Bill spends his life getting back at Slade. First by kidnapping his youngest son, Joseph Wilson, as the Jackal, and slits young Joey’s throat, making him mute. He later recruits Slade’s older son, Grant Wilson, into the H.I.V.E. organization which injects him with a serum that gives him super powers, but eventually kills him (a side-effect that Bill knew would happen).
