Bill Montenegro, or "Black Mountain Bill" is one of the many hermits who lives in the Treacherous Peaks. He has begun practicing Appalachian appellation of his surroundings, much to the puzzlement of Calydonians, who have no knowledge of the referenced terrestrial geography.
He is racist, homophobic, and misogynistic. He believes that the world is absurd, and on that basis thinks that no one's opinion matters. People who know him prefer to leave him in exile, since despite his horrible philosophy, they find it hard to deal with the elderly mystic.
Despite his revulsion of others, he is respected as one of the leaders of the Mountain Warriors, and once each year he agrees to meet with the larger organization for teaching and consult.
"We're all just like insects, squirming and multiplying. It doesn't matter what any one of us says or does." - Bill
