Bill Masson



Life

Before the lights in the sky started, Bill worked with The North Atlantic oil company to produce oil from the triffids. He worked with his friend Walter for quite some time before he got triffid poison in his eyes which temporarily blinded him. While he was in hospital he missed the lights allowing him to see when the effects of the poison wore off.

Companion

He rescued a woman named Joe Playton from a blind man attempting to use her as his eyes. From then on Bill started to get more and more attached to her until they unofficially married here whilst down in the Sussex Downs. They later had a child called David.
