The echo itself was greedy and possessive of its creations. It had tried to convert William into its general by force and even swore to take revenge on william before its own demise

Background
Her Echo appeared before Augustus, Blood and Mary after the events of the High King's sealing. He offered them a contract to become undead and in exchange he would wipe out the horde of demons overrunning the city in which the High King was sealed away. They would become the protectors of the High King's Seal until they lost their attachment and Stagnate would claim their souls.

She is the Goddess of Undeath, she was previously a virtuous goddess that helped guide the souls of the dead alongside her younger sister, however, she strayed from her path as she grew tired of the rise and fall of heroes and decided to follower her own ideals and use her power of undeath to eternalise her image of heroes.

As time passed her image as one of the virtuous gods shifted over as one of the malice gods and in the process she became the sworn enemy of the Earth-Mother.

She is the first daughter of Volt and Mater, her younger sister is Gracefeel.

The Boy in the City of the Dead
The Echo made a contract with Agustus, Blood and Mary converting them all into powerful undead. Upon taking interest in William he offered to convert him into its general, William refused. It then tried to enslave William but failed and was defeated in combat.
