Will Vargas is a boy who was emotionally and physically abused by Dwight Wagner, his mother's boyfriend .
History[]
Will was constantly abused and intimidated by Dwight, which left him frightened of him. One night, while Dwight was taking a bath, Will snapped and attempted to kill Dwight by dropping a hairdryer into the bathtub, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Knowing Dwight would be furious and most likely hurt Will, Irena dropped the hairdryer into the bathtub, killing Dwight.
Will claimed he killed Dwight to protect Irena, which resulted in him being taken to trial for murder. However, Irena confessed to killing Dwight on the stand, despite Will begging her not to confess. This resulted in the charges being dropped against Will, while Irena was imprisoned for one year for murdering Dwight. As well as this, both Will and Irena received counseling for their trauma.
