Willits (Q4)

Willits is a Raven Squad Medic that appears in the Data Networking Terminal level of Quake 4. He uses a Machine gun and fights alongside Kane until he is either killed by Strogg or Kane reaches the end of the level. Like most Medics in the game, he will heal the player if interacted with, or automatically depending on the situation.

History
Willits is a Space Marine Corps Medic that is part of Raven Squad. He makes his first appearance at the beginning of the Data Networking Terminal, along with the 2 other members of Raven Squad. (A Technician and a general Marine). Kane will reach the top of the elevator shaft and upon exiting the door will open into the first room, where Willits and his team are found clearing a room of Strogg. It is possible this is the same team communicating on the radio moments earlier concering a misfired detonation device, resulting in the death of a 'Lieutenant Leonard'. The conversation begins with an unknown soldier requesting for a medic. Leonard dies to his wounds and the request is cancelled. His death is quickly followed by a Strogg squad moving on their location, (all off-screen). One of the marines says:

"No time for grieving, we've got a fight on our hands."

If the marines communicating on the radio are indeed Willits team, that would explain the firefight occuring as Kane enters the room. Also, if you search the room, a door will open to reveal a collapsed ceiling that blocks the hallway, the structure is also on fire. This would support the door incident and the detonation device. However, his team never speak of the incident or Leonard, and there is no body present in the room. The connection is unlikely, but also irrelevant.

If Willits survives the initial firefight, he and the rest of his squad will fight alongside Kane as he progresses throughout the level. On a Mediocre playthrough of the level, all 3 of them will most likely die, as the player's primary focus will probably not be to protect the team. However, if Willits is saved, he will follow you until the end of the level, where he and the rest of his team will take defensive stances in the lobby room that Kane will reach before proceeding to the teleportation device that commences the next level.
