Billy Hargrove

Billy Hargrove was a bully with violent tendencies who moved to Hawkins in the autumn of 1985. He immediately stirred up trouble by challenging "King" Steve Harrington's status at Hawkins High and tormenting his younger step-sister Max and her new friends. The following summer, he fell under the Mind Flayer's posession and gathered human victims for the creature. In a final showdown at Starcourt Mall, Billy resisted the Mind Flayer's influence, ultimately sacrificing himself in the struggle.
