 * Note: William Matthews only APPEARS Pure Evil to Cole Matthews in the first half of the book. He is not really Pure Evil, so do not add "Pure Evil" to his category list.

"You think life's a game!? You think you're in charge!? You think I'm a big joke!?"

- William suffers his breakdown and attacks Cole Matthews with his belt upon his discovery that the latter disobeyed him and got home late.

William Matthews is a character from Touching Spirit Bear. He is the wife of Cindy Matthews and the father of the book's villain protagonist, Cole Matthews. Though he loves his son, William is the reason why Cole lost his good side. Due to his nature as a drunkard, William can be a scary entity whose horror comes from temper tamtrums, and these temper tantrums of his can cause him to mock, reprimand, or even attack his own son outright, such as when Cole disobeyed his father's advice and got home late.

Personality
If you were to ask his son, William Matthews seems to be a hateful, heinous entity. However, William really cares for his son and wants the best from him. Alcohol has caused him to lose his temper time and again. He hates it and tries to control it, and feels remorseful about his actions.

Trivia
