Willem Dafoe

Willem Dafoe, formerly known as Willem Dafriend, is a major recurring character in Boastgusters.

Personality
Willem Dafoe is a self-interested jerk. As time goes on, he develops more and more of a desire to see science furthered than to make money, especially because of how much leeway the US government gives him in terms of experimentation.

Before Part 2
Willem Dafoe was adopted by Melchior Dafriend, which is where his original last name comes from.

At some point, Willem Dafriend became a very rich billionaire, though it's unclear how. He was a well-respected scientist of some kind, though.

Part 2
Willem Dafoe was drafted into The Second Vietnam War like most people in the United States at that time. Sadly, he was put into a cell with Kye Lewis Byllesby and Joey, thus ruining any chance he had at having a sane and normal life. After many attempts to restrain Kye's intense imperialism moments, he eventually gives up.

When the three of them visit a village in the forest, he stealthily steals some napalm, and it is wasted, much to his chagrin. He also shoots the Dancing Baby in the head, which permanently traumatizes Kye to the point that he laughs every time it is mentioned.

He begrudgingly accepts Christian Coleman, but runs away when Napalm Man attacks their camp. From this point on is when he gains the moniker "Willem Dafoe" from Kye.

Between Parts 2 and 4
Willem Dafoe is pardoned by the US government at some point and is hired to be the top scientist at Lone Star Base. He also had a daughter named Popo at some point, and created a displacer beast named Cayenne. Most of his research appears to be into reanimation.

Part 4
Willem Dafoe opens Part 4 by finding the Egyptian Ghost Goop that Mark Zuckerberg left for him. He uses it to reanimate The Heavy TF2 to test whether or not he's finally cracked it.

When Joey arrives at the base later, he sics The Heavy TF2 on Joey to test him out, and is crushed when Joey returns the next day with the Chromosome Sword of Sealing which kills The Heavy TF2 near-instantly.
