L4D Bill Alias

BUR #50694 has been rejected.

create alias bill_(left_4_dead) -> bill_overbeck

Bill has 2 tags, Overbeck is his canon last name (Full name is William “Bill” Overbeck but no one calls him William lol) which is unique for a L4D character, the rest only have firsts (except Coach who goes by his “title”) so aliasing the qualified tag to his full name.

For consistency's sake, we shouldn't. We also should avoid this if you have to dig out some extraneous material to be able to find out what their last name is and it's not just surfaced in a large number of places involving the characters. For example, you won't see "Overbeck" being used enough times in-game that the average person will know what it's referring to.

Regarding consistency: see Francis (Left 4 Dead), Louis (Left 4 Dead) and Zoey (Left 4 Dead).

IIRC it’s from the comics, never said in-game.
