History: (100 Bullets #87) - Will Slaughter served as Minuteman for the Trust, the 13 most powerful families in America. He raised his own replacement, and then retired. He married Peg, and when they had trouble conceiving they adopted Li-Li, and fell in lover with her. Over the years they managed to have two biological daughters, and when financial pressures got tough for the family Will took on the occasional hit job. He didn't see killing as anything more than a way of making money, and rationalized that if people didn't mess up they wouldn't have a hit on them. Agent Graves and the Minutemen were killing members of the Trust, so Joan D'Arcy, fearing for her life, asked Will to do a job for her. He accepted, telling his wife they now had a college fund, and after a bittersweet farewell to his family he went to work.

(100 Bullets #91) - Slaughter killed Mr. Rothstein, a man with connections to the CIA and FBI that supplied Graves with his attaches of 100 untraceable bullets. Slaughter informed D'arcy that Graves game was over, and they'd see how he'd react.

(100 Bullets #97-100) - D'arcy had her man will slaughter kill Javier Vasco with a sniper rifle, making Augustus Medici even more apprehensive about brokering peace in the Trust. Will was assigned to kill Lono, but when he heard him on the phone with his son Victor Ray decided against it. The Minutemen stormed the Trust's compound, and when Will saw his son he greeted him, saying he was done working for the Trust anyway.
