Funny thing? Soul Calibur already has a "William" in the series' backstory. Or technically "two", depending on how you look at it. The character of "Rock" is basically supposed to be his son, whose full name is Nathaniel William Adams! On a similar note, SC also had "Arthur" who was a blonde samurai with an eyepatch hailing from the British Empire. More @Wikipedia
