Pre-Apocalypse[]
Gainesville, Georgia[]
Billy and his twin brother Ben were born in 1999 to Donna and Allen. When the outbreak began, Billy's parents heard that a safe-zone is being established in Atlanta city, the family traveled for Atlanta. However they arrived late and found that the city had become overrun with zombies. They soon bumped into Dale and the Atlanta Survivor Camp, where they began to live in hope that the military would soon rescue them.
Post-Apocalypse[]
The Prison[]
Billy doesn't seem to understand what is happening in the world around him. After his mother, Donna, died, he didn't seem to understand what had happened, although he was very sad. When the survivors settled down at the prison, Billy lost his father to a lurker attack. He, along with his twin brother, Ben, were later adopted by Dale and Andrea.
When Rick, Glenn, and Michonne arrive back from Woodbury, Billy, including the rest of the prison survivors, begin to prep for war.

Trivia[]
- Robert Kirkman answered the question whether naming characters the same name: Billy, Eugene, Chris, Eric, Jim, and Bruce was an oversight, "It's not oversight at all. It's completely unrealistic for a group of people to meet at random and never encounter the same names."
- Billy and Ben were the first twins in the Comic Series, the second pair being the Greene twins.
- Billy was born in 1999 since the outbreak started in 2003.
- It is said in the script book that Ben and Billy are 4 years old. They turned either 5 or 6 during the apocalypse.
