History

William Webb (Spider or Billy) is a boatswain's mate on HMAS Hammersley.

Personal life

Spider seems to be rather immature and rash on occasions. He and Bomber have something of a love-hate relationship, but their friendship is strengthened as they endure several life-threatening situations together.

His inexperience has led to potentially deadly situations. On one occasion he is distracted while guarding two mercenaries on board a fishing boat. They manage to disarm him and this leads to the Charge being stabbed with a screwdriver. Charge recovers and returned to Hammersley. His second encounter with the mercenary who stabbed Charge again endangers a fellow crew member's life. He is distracted and separated from the XO during the land-based search for the mercenary. The mercenary knocked him unconscious with a diving belt and stole his weapon. The mercenary shot the XO in the back, however her body armour stopped the bullet. She remained prone (with her face under water) until the mercenary turned her over and then she shot him in the stomach.
