Despite his death, FWLM forces managed to complete the retaking of Danais, before the end of 2843.[5]

The death of William prompted his father, Charles Marik, to order his eldest child Gerald Marik II to return to Atreus, in order to secure the Marik succession against any similar event.[3]
BattleMechs[edit]
William was piloting a Marauder when he died as a result of the shielding on its reactor failing.[2]
