Wilhelm

Wilhem is Pike's grandfather and a devout worshipper of Sarenrae. He lives in Stillbend, and Pike and Mawk lived there with him before Mawk's adventuring began. As an NPC, Wilhelm is played by Joe.

Background
Wilhelm chose to break away from his family's history of thievery after receiving a divine dream from Sarenrae. He taught his descendants the ways of Sarenrae, and ultimately was responsible for Pike choosing the lifestyle of a studying.

A talented carver of wooden tools and furniture, Wilhelm is a joyful (if slightly forgetful) old gnome. Sweet and welcoming in disposition, he is regarded as a treasure in the neighborhood.

One day, Wilhelm was nearly killed by a group of goliath barbarians from the Herd of Storms. A fighter nearby, Mawk, chose to protect the old gnome. This decision would have cost Mawk his life had Wilhelm not gone to Pike to ask for her help in healing the human. This experience resulted in Pike and Mawk forming a close friendship and choosing to travel together.
