![]() But while he reads the combination out loud to Gideon (to whom he was connected), Mabel shoots the memory door into another memory of a bottomless pit with a nyarf dart. Once they find the correct memory he takes it and nearly escapes with it. At some point Soos is separated from everyone else, and Bill takes his place. He tricks Mabel and Soos into looking for the memory of Stan's safe combination first, knowing they'd lead him straight to it. Once inside Stan's head, Bill confronts the trio, and brags that he knows what they're all thinking. Gideon is determined to steal the Mystery Shack away from Stanley Pines (who at the time had taken his missing brother's name) and he commands Bill to enter Stan's mind in order to find the passcode to Stan's safe, which contains the deed to the shack.īill enters Stan's mind, but Dipper, Mabel and Soos witness Gideon's summoning and manage to find a way to follow Bill into Stan's dreamscape. L'il Gideon looks up Bill in the No.2 Journal he has in his possession and performs the incantation needed to summon the wily demon. His name and existence is deduced by taking all the capital letters in the cryptograms from Rumble's Revenge, to form the message: "MY NAME IS BILL."īill Cipher first appears in the first season episode "Dreamscaperers" when he is summoned by the vengeful Gideon Gleeful. He was the unseen creator of the cryptograms in the online game Rumble's Revenge. Bill, however, could not be so easily deterred and has been patiently biding his time for the portal to reactivate.īill and the symbol he's based on, the Eye of Providence, appear frequently in Gravity Falls. Horrified and betrayed, Ford shut down the project and hid the instructions on how to operate it. However, when the time came to test it, one of Ford's human friends, Fiddleford McGucket, was sucked into the machine and discovered its true nature: a portal into Bill's world that would allow the demon to bring his chaos into their universe. Once Cipher had tricked Ford into befriending him, he told him to build a great machine which he claimed would create knowledge to benefit all mankind. Blinded by this flattery, Ford believed Bill to be a friend and agreed to the deal.įord seemed to idolize Bill and decorated his home with various images of him and a similar symbol, the Eye of Providence, which can be seen scattered across Gravity Falls. He told Ford that if he sided with Bill, they would unlock the greatest riddles in existence. Bill deceived the man, telling him that he was a muse who chose one incredible person every hundred years to inspire. Later that day, while taking a nap, Bill entered the man's dreams. Desparate and naïve, Ford ignored the warnings and read the summoning inscription, but was confused when nothing happened. When Ford accidentally stumbled into a strange cave, he discovered the painting about a "being with answers". Bill recognized that Ford's brilliant but cocky and insecure nature and near-friendless background made him an ideal pawn. Ford discovered countless anomalies and secrets in Gravity Falls, but eventually hit a stumbling point in his research and became desperate for more answers. One day in the late twentieth century, a young man named Stanford Pines came to investigate a mysterious town in the same location where the Natives had encountered the demon. The people left behind a painting of their encounter with the demon, including how to summon him, and more importantly, a warning never to read it. The people discovered that Bill was too dangerous and found a way to temporarily defeat him using a zodiac with ten symbols. Among his targets were Natives who lived in what would become a town called Gravity Falls, Oregon. He came to learn of a prophecy that stated he could bring his chaos into the alternate universe, and Bill manipulated countless humans over the eons to find a way into the Third Dimension as a physical being to "liberate" that dimension as well. He has no corporeal form, and so could only access the minds of the dimension's beings. Bill "liberated" his dimension by taking to a higher plane of existence, the 3rd Dimension. He favoured chaos and destruction over anything else, and made it his mission to spread it as far as it could go. ![]() However, Bill despises living in the dimension, describing it as a "flat world with flat minds and flat ideas". Trillions of years prior to the events of the series, Bill originated from the 2nd Dimension.
