At a reconnaissance mission at a party of de Quincey's, Will accompanied Tessa, who had Changed into the vampire Camille Belcourt, and pretended to be her human subjugate. He told them of the Pandemonium's head, who was known as the Magister, which was apparently the vampire Alexei de Quincey. This brought them to Axel Mortmain, his employer who was seemingly tied to the Pandemonium Club as well. While the Shadowhunters of the London Institute continued to investigate the Pandemonium Club, they also started looking into Tessa's brother's whereabouts, as she had been told he was imprisoned by the Dark Sister's as well. Will had to constantly remind himself to keep his distance due to his curse. Will developed an attraction towards Tessa and the pair bonded over their love for books. They rescued her and took her back to the Institute. On the evening they were supposed to catch the sisters for their illegal activities, Will found a girl, believed to possibly be a warlock, named Tessa Gray imprisoned in their house. Their investigations led them to the Dark Sisters. Tessa and the MagisterĪfter a routine patrol led Will and Jem to Emma Bayliss in 1878, they had since been on the trail of the Pandemonium Club, the suspected orchestrators of her murder.
When they were thirteen, Will asked Jem to become his parabatai, and when they were fourteen, they underwent the ceremony. Will convinced himself that since Jem was already dying, the curse would be worthless against him, making him Will's "greatest sin". When Will learned that Jem was ill, Will allowed himself to become close to the other boy. However, Jem refused to be intimidated by Will and insisted on training with him. When Jem Carstairs arrived from Shanghai in 1873, Will tried to be rude to the boy to immediately dissuade him from trying to befriend him. This instigated the beginning of a long rivalry between the two. He was attacked by Gabriel for it and, despite his own lack of training, Will bested him in the fight and even broke his arm, further humiliating Gabriel. Will proceeded to humiliate Tatiana by reading her poetry for him out loud at the party, earning the spite of Tatiana's brothers, Gabriel and Gideon. There, he found the diary of Tatiana Lightwood, a young Shadowhunter who was greatly infatuated with Will. When he was twelve, an Enclave Christmas party was held at the Institute. This held true even for guests at the Institute. Will remained distant from and cruel to the other inhabitants of the Institute, Charlotte and Henry Branwell, not wanting to bring harm to them by becoming attached and having them love him. Įven in London, Will was haunted by the demon's curse. Will then immediately decided to leave and join the Shadowhunters at the London Institute to keep his family safe. When Ella died the next morning, Will was wracked with guilt and sorrow, believing himself to be responsible. Before it left, Marbas claimed to have placed a curse on Will, telling him that those who love him would die unless he left their lives forever. Will was attacked by Marbas but was protected by his older sister, Ella, who was subsequently poisoned by the demon. However, shortly after the second time he was offered, Will went through his father's old things and found the Pyxis that held the Greater Demon Marbas and opened it, unwittingly unleashing the demon.
He refused both times, having been raised to believe that Shadowhunters were not good people and that the lives they led were dangerous and monstrous. Per Shadowhunter protocol, Will, during the first twelve years of his life, was asked twice to join them. As dictated by the Nephilim Law, Will and his sisters, Ella and Cecily, being Nephilim, were still welcome to rejoin the Shadowhunter ranks. Will was the son of Edmund Herondale, a former Shadowhunter, and Linette Owens, the mundane woman whom Edmund left his Shadowhunting life behind for.
