Overview

Often known as 'Stuttering Bill' , he stood out among the seven adherents as being the most optimistic and valiant member. As a result, Bill is generally viewed as the undisputed leader of the club. Bill has the foremost desire which his dear friends follow in defeating the ancient demonic entity It and is driven by his brother's horrific murder to destroy It.
Lore
On May 29th, 1985, Bill receives a phone call from his old friend, Mike Hanlon telling him that the child killings are happening again. Mike asks him to return to Derry, as he fears that It may still well be alive. Upon learning of Its return, Bill becomes so frightened and worried that he begins to stutter uncontrollably, his childhood reaction to stress and trauma. After a brief dispute with his wife, Audra, Bill eventually departs to Derry to face It once more, as he had twenty-seven years ago. Mike refreshes the Losers' memories before It itself reveals the news of Stanley's suicide to them. Richie and Eddie decide to leave, until Beverly reveals that she has had visions of their deaths should they fail to fulfill their oath to kill It. At the library, Mike shows Bill, via a drug-induced vision, that the Native American "Ritual of Chüd" can defeat It using items from the Losers' past. Bill goes to the storm drain where Georgie was killed and recovers his paper sailboat.
Later that same day, at carnival, Bill fails to save a young boy from It. Distraught, Bill travels to the Neibolt House, where the Losers convince him not to face It alone. With their memories now fully restored, the group descends into a cavern beneath the sewers. Mike provides a rock from the Losers' fight with the Bowers Gang, and they perform the ritual in the remains of the meteor that brought It to Earth. The ritual fails as It emerges as an enormous Pennywise-spider hybrid and pressures Mike into revealing that the ritual killed the original native performers. It attacks the Losers and places Bill, Ben, and Beverly in individual hallucinations. They escape once Bill releases his guilt over being indirectly responsible for Georgie's death and when Beverly realizes Ben was the one who wrote the love letter to her. When Richie is made catatonic by It, Eddie saves him but is fatally impaled. A weakened Eddie then explains how he made It feel small earlier, by choking the Leper nearly to death.
Before Bill could get to the Altar and confront IT once and for all, Bill feels a presence call out to him from the great beyond. Following it led him passed out on the floor as a mist circles around his unconscious body before disappearing seconds later.
