Biography
William Turner was a male human born centuries ago as the son of Bootstrap Bill Turner and his wife Mrs. Turner.
After his mother died, Will Turner began looking for his father while wearing the gold medallion, soon boarding a British merchant vessel that traveled to the Caribbean Sea. However, Hector Barbossa's cursed crew attacked Will's ship. The only survivor of this pirate attack, Will Turner was spotted, lying unconscious on a piece of driftwood, by young Elizabeth Swann aboard the HMS Dauntless. Pulled from the sea, the Dauntless crew found that he was drifting amidst the murdered crew and burning wreckage of the British ship. Told to care for the half-drowned boy by her father, Governor Weatherby Swann, Elizabeth was left to watch over the unconscious boy as Lieutenant James Norrington's men of the British Royal Navy set about searching the wreckage for more survivors. Will roused in time for he and Elizabeth to introduce themselves before he lapsed back into unconsciousness. Elizabeth then noticed the medallion around Will's neck, making her worried that he was a pirate. Fearing that Norrington would have Will hanged, Elizabeth took the medallion from Will before he was taken below decks. While Will thought the medallion was lost during the rescue, Elizabeth kept the medallion in her possession for the next eight years.
Will became proficient at his trade, and it could be said that he carried out many, if not all, of the duties neglected by his often drunk master. He also began forging a number of swords, and practiced with them for hours at a time at the smithy. He had developed a hatred towards pirates, and wanted to be able to best one in single combat should the opportunity arise.
During this time, Will's friendship with Elizabeth developed further, but it grew into something more romantic as they grew older. His life revolved around his work, and his distant longing for a woman he knew could never be his wife. Despite Will's feelings towards the girl, he remained reluctant to reveal his true feelings towards her, likely due to the social divide between them.
Eight years after the sailing on the crossing from England, Will Turner and Mr. Brown received an order for a smallsword for Governor Swann, due to Captain Norrington being promoted to Commodore. Will forged the sword himself, and delivered it to the Governor's estate. There, he met Elizabeth, but his polite and reserved manner, still present after all these years of friendship, irritated her, and they parted on less than good terms.
