William Clayton

William is the son of Oliver Queen and Samantha Clayton, the grandson of Robert and Moira Queen, and the nephew of Thea Queen.

Early life
The child was conceived in 2007 during Oliver Queen's affair with Samantha Clayton. Oliver shared the news with his mother, Moira, expressing that he had messed up. Thinking this could potentially ruin Oliver's life, Moira paid the girl $2 million to pretend she had miscarried and "asked" her to move away to Central City and never to see Oliver again.

Almost 8 years later, William's mother visited CC Jitters. She called him, promising to be back with a hot chocolate soon.

Many months later, William was running through CC Jitters with his action figure and ran in to his father, Oliver, unbeknownst to him. He gave him back his figure, which he'd dropped, and he ran to his mother.

On his way to a sporting event, William and his mother were briefly stopped by Oliver. While his mother was conversing with Oliver, William told her mother to hurry or they'd miss the game.

Later, while playing with his action figures on the patio, he and his mother was interrupted once again. He was then told to go play with his toys inside the house.

The following day, William was formally greeted by Oliver, who told him he was an old friend of his mothers. He was asked if it was ok if he visited him once in a while and the two played with his Flash and Captain Cold action figures.

Original timeline
In the original timeline, William was killed with the rest of Central City by Vandal Savage.
