William Butcher, better known as Billy Butcher or simply Butcher, is a 47 year-old British man. He lived a relatively normal life with his wife, Becca Butcher, until Homelander, leader of the Superhero group the Seven, came along. Homelander sexually abused Becca, which ended up with her pregnancy and the birth of the superpowered child, Ryan Butcher. Becca was then abducted by Vought, the company that works and makes money with these superpowered people. Ever since then, he's been trying to get to Homelander, but has acquired the objective of killing every single other supe in the process.
