Robin Hood described him as a "cheeky rogue with a good sword hand and a slippery tongue."

Along with his fellows, he encountered the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald in 1190. The Time Lord snipped off a lock of his hair, to evaluate if he were human or not. (TV: Robot of Sherwood)

According to another account, he and Little John captured the First Doctor and Barbara Wright. (PROSE: The Thief of Sherwood)

According to Iris Wildthyme, Will gave her the "glad-eye". (AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large)
