In the episode "My Fair Laddy", Willie recalls his birth and how his abusive father told him he would never amount to anything in life and would be lucky if he grew up to be "garbage".

Willie has a troubled and distant relationship with his parents.

In a running gag in each of the three segments of the episode " Treehouse of Horror V", Willie tries to help the main protagonists, but is struck in the back with an axe by a different character each time, a reference to Dick Halloran's death in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, of which the first segment, " The Shinning", is a direct parody. Willie plays a supporting role in most of his episodes, but he was a main character in the episode " My Fair Laddy", where Lisa Simpson introduced him to high culture as a science project. In Dark Knight Court he describes himself as a "Scottish Old Believer Presbyterian" who "hates Easter" as some conservative Presbyterians reject Easter as a man-made feast on the basis of the regulative principle of worship. In " The Girl Who Slept Too Little", it is revealed that he has a cousin, "Grave Digger Billy". However, his parents were later introduced in " Monty Can't Buy Me Love", and lived near Loch Ness which is near Inverness. In early episodes, Willie's father was said to be dead. This settled the previous continuity problem in which Willie had been stated to be a supporter of Aberdeen F.C, and to have lived in Glasgow. In the alternate continuity of " Treehouse of Horror VI", his spirit plots revenge on the students of Springfield Elementary after getting burned to death by their parents' actions.ĭue to the deliberately inaccurate continuity of the series, he has claimed to be from various parts of Scotland during the series, most recently Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands in the 2012 episode ' The Daughter Also Rises'. Willie has shown antipathy to both his employer, Principal Skinner, and Bart Simpson, who frequently plays practical jokes on him. His personality is depicted as being incompetent, drunken, slow-witted, and quick to anger for little or no reason. Willie is an uncouth and unpleasant character, though essentially harmless. He is a Scotsman with an aggressive temper. Willie is the groundskeeper and janitor at Springfield Elementary School and lives in a shack on the school premises. He is easily identifiable by his red hair and beard, as well as his aggressive temperament and thick, stereotypical Scottish accent. Willie is almost feral in nature and is immensely proud of his Scottish origin. He is the head groundskeeper and Janitor at Springfield Elementary School. Frost armor was once made available through the Ice Golem, before Frost Cores were introduced.William MacMoran MacDougal, better known as Groundskeeper Willie, is a recurring character on The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. It is also the only Hardmode armor with this trait.This trait is shared with the Ninja armor, Gladiator Armor, Ancient Cobalt armor, and Ancient Shadow armor. This is the last set of armor that is dropped directly by a certain boss or enemies.The curved horns featured on the helmet resemble the horns of some types of kabuto, commonly known as samurai helmets.However, it should be noted that this also makes dashes potentially riskier in other situations, as dashing into an enemy will no longer provide the player with invincibility frames. There are many situations where accidentally bumping into an enemy can be extremely undesirable, notably when fighting Plantera or Skeletron Prime. The dash provided by Crystal Assassin armor is often better than the Shield of Cthulhu's dash, since it covers a greater distance and will not be interrupted by contact with an enemy if a Cobalt Shield or its upgrades are equipped.However, the lack of maximum mana bonus might make this a less attractive choice for mages. If this slot is used for an offensive accessory like an emblem, Crystal Assassin armor effectively provides higher offensive bonuses than Adamantite or Titanium armor, which cannot achieve the same level of offense without sacrificing the dash. In Expert Mode, the dash may be used as a replacement for the Shield of Cthulhu or Master Ninja Gear, freeing up an accessory slot.In Classic Mode, Crystal Assassin armor's dash is the only dash effect that is accessible before defeating Plantera.It works well with the Nimbus Rod, Clinger Staff, and Queen Spider Staff since it boosts their damage output without sacrificing bonuses to melee or ranged weapons.Due to its respectable defense and stat bonuses, this is a viable alternative to Hardmode ore sets, especially for those who do not wish to grind for resources.
