Billy Prior is a young working-class man from Salford, England. An only child, Billy was raised in an abusive home by a violent and brutish father and a passive mother. Early on, Billy distinguishes himself because of his intelligence and affability. Billy is the local boy who "made good" when he received an officer's commission.
