Growing up in New York city, Willy Krebs worked part-time in his mother's Health Food store until he was old enough to enlist and get away from her 'pseudo-hippy nonsense'.
After being turned down by the Air Force and the Army he wound up being accepted into the Navy. Taking to life on the open water as if he were born for it, he spent one full tour of duty as a Seabee before returning to civilian life. Realising he worked best with a deck beneath his feet he made a career of working on cruise ships. Always willing to try to pick up new skills, Willy eventually developed cooking skills with a three-star rating and is considered a talented (and entertaining) Bartender.
Willy is a fairly young man somewhere in his 20's with dark hair, light skin and around Five feet Nine inches tall and a slender build.
His usual mode of dress is Pale pants, sneakers and a red long-sleeved shirt with a white collar. At times he wears a cream-colored Tilley hat.
Among his personal effects are a Gym Bag, a Canvas Laundry Bag, toiletries, changes of clothing, A leather roll with a modest assortment of cooking utensils in it and a fair-sized suitcase containing a modest Mini-Bar.
Willy is good natured with a strong work ethic, and always tries to be useful to others and not be a burden.
Unfortunately while he's happiest on a boat knowing his place in the scheme of things, on land he becomes a little distracted and uncertain of himself, often looking to others for direction.
