This should be pretty unmissable, every playthrough I've done he has shown up, so just make sure that when he does you don't get him killed, then when you get back to camp this achievement should pop.

During the course of a playthrough of Dead Age, you'll be able to get everyone in game to join your camp minus three people (so you can get max nine of twelve characters in one run). Of the missing three, two will be from the "random pool" (listed below) and one will either be James or Mary (when you do the mission to save one, the mission to save the other disappears.
The list of random characters is as follows: Bill, Hank, Lydia, Jamal, Jennifer, Larissa, Liz
Bill is one of these random characters, so is not guaranteed to be available as a camp follower. Should he show up, you have three chances for that to happen the first week of the game (Day 1 - 7), and another early in week two (Day 7-14). After that, only one more "random" character will show up late in the game (around Day 28 - Day 32). Therein, if you're going for this achievement specifically, if you don't see the Hank Bill quest by Day 10 or so, restart your game.
Bill
Bill is a good person to get early as his early quest-line pertains to gathering Food (which you'll probably be short on in the early game). Bill will randomly show up in camp, then ask you to go on a mission to loot three car trunks on Highway Night. You can do this mission over multiple days if you like. Each trunk will reward you food. Upon opening the third trunk, this achievement will unlock.
NOTE: Bill is somewhat of a coward, and if you continue to scavenge the Area after the third trunk, Bill will get mad and leave, and will be Status: Uncommunicative (refuses to join the party or do jobs in camp) for a few days after.
ALSO NOTE: Bill's second quest is to loot rest stops along Highway Night. Same deal, you need to loot three, and each awards Food. Because zombies will flood the third rest stop, Bill will want to flee. If you don't, Bill will once again for Status: Uncommunicative for a few days. He won't abandon your camp or attack anyone over this, so if you desperately need the Food and can afford to have Bill sit in camp for a few days, feel free to fight for the resources.
