Physical description

Wilhelm stands at a massive twelve feet tall with pale skin and a broad, exceptionally muscular body, strong, even for a norn. His face and body show signs of age, with his face having wrinkles and a scar, his hair is an ash grey colour, as is his thick, warm beard, it seems his eyes are a deep brown colour… Wilhelms body is decorated with tribal style norn tattoos in a dark black colour, covering his upper body, some around the neck and chest appear older while others around the arms seem more recent.

Personality traits

Wilhelm is a jolly old norn, he loves nothing more than spending his time with his friends in the battlefield, tavern or otherwise, Wilhelm is an exceptionally wise man even with several strong drinks in his system, with fatherly wisdom from years of life, having good advice for a fight, friends, family and everything in between. Wilhelm always has a smile on his face and a story to tell for those who would listen to his tales. Wilhelms  humour and kind spirit are only matched by his caring nature, treating all people like his own children regardless of race. Wilhelm also is regarded as extremely respectful to enemies in a battle if they have the capacity to do the same, allowing svanir from past feuds to speak to him before and after a battle, even inviting one to drink with him before the svanir’s imminent defeat at Wilhelms hands.

Early life

Wilhelm as a young boy was a brave and healthy young man, being a good hunter and training against his father at the age of ten, his father granting him a family shield to defend himself and others. Once he reached twelve years old, he worked on his grandfather’s dolyak ranch which trained his body to what it is today over the years with a long, family honoured payment. For every good deed he did for his grandparents, his grandmother would smith another part of a grand suit of armour befitting a hero wilhelm had always wanted to be. Each act was another plated strip of Deldrimor steel or iron for a set of armour for only the bravest of norn. Wilhelm worked on this ranch for many years and met the first of three wives there, here at the age of twenty he married Helda, his first wife and years later, mother of his oldest son, Valberg…

Priory service

At the age of thirty, wilhelm went to work for the durmand priory as a security guard, understanding the importance of knowledge in the right or wrong hands. Though lacking in the ability to research things, he could easily protect people with the protective magic learnt from his father. For ten years, he worked his way up the ranks from Novice to Arcanist, a magical protector of knowledge. He then worked in the priory for an additional forty years protecting the priory and those seeking knowledge. It’s here where wilhelm met a young, brooding ascalonian necromancer, studying the arts of necromancy… This necromancer, while young looked up to Wilhelm and learnt how to fight with a greatsword from the old norn.

The pact

Once the pact was formed to combat the elder dragon Zhaitan, Wilhelm was once again a protector on the battlefield. Serving in a small squad of five… Wilhelm himself was the front of this squad as the leader and protector, backed up by a promising sylvari medic of The vigil called Annarik. An old friend, sniper and hunter of the priory, Lord August Loamhurst. An intelligent and cunning Charr vigil engineer from the iron legion, finally supported by an asura guardian, reassigned to Wilhelms squad. The five of them fought through orr, wilhelm showing so much compassion and care for his allies in the field, outside his squad as well as in. Lead to his nickname of “Giga dad” referring to his heart being as big as he is. But sadly, due to age, as they had reached the gates of Arah, wilhelm was sent home to retire.

After the pact

After the war, Wilhelm had a lifetime of savings of gold and gems to his name. Saving his money mostly with an exception to support his family from the battlefield or priory lead to him having an extremely hefty bank. With this money, he bought a plot of land in the far northern silverwastes and kept it as a family holiday retreat for his extended family of brothers, uncles and aunts. As well as their children. Though wilhelm had little more to do than relax in his dolyak ranch. Where he met a young woman who sought to Adopt a Dolyak calf, married to a familiar looking necromancer from the priory days… Wilhelm visited them, and through them. Met those in the group formerly known as “Chronological investigations”

Now

Many years later, to the present day, Wilhelm owns and supplies the refuge where he can, allowing his friends and friends of theirs to live and thrive in the refuge. Struggling as he comes closer and closer to the end of his life every day and Reunited with a lost daughter, Wilhelm fights on to be what he always had been, the shield to his family, protector and hero. And hopefully, will live on to continue his legendary story for months to come.
