I'm aware of that, but I thought that it was a woman that went by the name of Frontsite that actually owned it, and then later William took it over.
William has been a partner since the beginning. Front Sight had a melt-down for a variety of reasons, including the loss of someone very close to her, William doesn't have that as an excuse and he could have stepped-up. He didn't help to get the original knifemakers of HAK paid either.
