William Battersworth, 65, is the owner and CEO of the "Dog 'n' Mouse's Food and Fun" restaurant. He was the prime suspect in the Dog Night Shooting investigation that was closed in May 1985, but was ruled out as the potential shooter within a few days. He knows what happened to Michael Schmidt on the day of his disappearance, and yet he had nothing to do with the incident. His primary aim is to keep what happened a secret from everyone and anyone, and he is willing to go to extreme measures in order to achieve that goal. You mainly hear him through the various phone calls he will be giving you each night, and he also takes part in a variety of different trailers.

William is sinister, selfish, and incredibly posh. I want him to give off a rather aristocratic vibe.

A posh British accent is MANDATORY for this role, please don't apply if you can't pull that off.

Some context to these three lines:

1. You'll find this line in the first teaser trailer. In this trailer William is being interrogated over the murder of a former Cat 'n' Dog employee. He is not very co-operative and is refusing to answer questions about his alibi. Nonetheless, despite all the pressure from Peter Marks and his assistant Peter Davidson, he remains calm and content.

2. This is a snippet from the Night 1 phone call. He has installed a camera inside your office which allows him to watch your actions closely throughout the night. He gives you a different call each night depending on your actions during the previous night. If there's something he doesn't want you to look at, he will make it very clear.

3. Also a snippet from Night 1. Here he discusses the bolted-up "emergency door" located behind the player. It serves no purpose whatsoever but is there for the player to look at. William tries very hard to avert the player's attention away from the back door throughout the course of the week. Therefore its easy to tell that he's rather uncomfortable when talking about it.
