Will Downing

Will Downing is the most humble member of the Oxford Five. He's never had many friends, but the uni gang's always made him feel like he has plenty. He's best friends with Jack and has been in love with Jin since their university days — everyone in their inner circle knows it but her. A sixth-form physics teacher in Bromley, Will thinks he didn't have the brainpower or competitive edge to achieve everything he wanted to in life. Like Saul, he fears his life hasn't amounted to much. But after Will receives life-changing news, his perspective and intellect prove invaluable to his friends and everyone around him. His tender heart and bravery set him apart entirely.
