Palmer Shepard is Will's younger brother. He does not suffer from any of the same mental problems as his brother because he was too young to be aware of the atmosphere in their family home prior to his father's suicide. As a result, dislikes Palmer and the two never share a close relationship.
It is Palmer, however, who discovers Will's murder of a young Brazilian girl when he goes to Rio to watch Will play in the World Cup. Palmer then covers up the murder and blackmails Will. When Will gets tired of paying blackmail, he kills Palmer, making it look as though Maggie killed him. He then takes Palmer's identity and lives as his brother for several months before going after Maggie in her own home.
