Will Parry is one of the protagonists in Philip Pullman's novel The Subtle Knife, along with Lyra Belacqua.
Will Parry is son of John Parry, an explorer and Elaine Parry, a woman who suffers from apparent mental problems including some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia.

An Auto-Parry will cause you to be at a frame disadvantage, but since no enemy in the game (aside from Vergil's double Hightime slash) has a move fast enough to take advantage of these frames, you can usually counter with a move fast enough.
