Bio:

Born the bastard son of a Pranzis , Willem was an quiet child (as one had to be whilst his mother was working), and always rather inward looking. His natural introspectiveness was forced to change when he was 12 and his mother died leaving him a penniless orphan. He was taken in by a former friend of his mothers who may or may not have been his father. Thus his 'father' taught him a trade, that of thief. A small and dexterous child he could wriggle through windows that others couldn't. It was also his father who showing a humour typical of the rough world in which Willem lived, gave him his surname.

As he became more useful to his father and his cronies he was taught how to read and write and basic numeracy - after all what good was breaking into a safe if you couldn't read which documents were merely shopping lists and which were bank bonds!

Willem learnt that to one such as him life gave nothing. To get, you had to grab. The only time you didn't grab with both hands was when you had a dagger in one hand at someones throat. That said Willem never killed or hurt his victims unnecessarily. After all a corpse always got the watch asking *lots* of awkward questions, and the man you hurt unnecessarily had the image of your face burnt into his mind.

Willem's real speciality was with locks though, and getting into houses past the guards without being seen. Just as it looked his future was to be set as a stealthy lockman, an event changed his life. Still a quiet lad of deep thoughts he was on his about to enter a large mansion when he felt a voice telling him it was a trap. He listened to this inner voice, and warned his colleagues that job was a trap. They went in and he stayed. It was a trap, and while Willem fled his colleagues weren't so lucky.

Two days later as he watched his colleagues (his 'father' amongst them) kicking their heels together at the end of a rope he realised that his life had been saved through divine intervention. Branderback, the Wary Shadow had spoken to him, and saved. From then on he knew he was Branderback's tool, and he would follow his will, while continuing to pilfer his way to a wealthy retirement!

Now Willem has two goals in one. To steal the wealth of the world, and to do the bidding of Branderback wherever there is shadow and a full vault!

Willem has never been arrested by the watch due his appearance. It is in a word non-descript. Of mid height, with mousy brown hair and dark features he will disapear and blend into the background in most cities. In addition he has a rather less than sparkling personality (although by no means obnoxious) that means people who has spoken to just forget he ever existed.


Cleric/Paladin/Champion required paragraphs:

1. I have read the information on Branderback and I will play Willem as a faithful priest of Branderback to the best of my abilities.

2. Branderback expects, nay demands, that Willem makes as much of himself as he can. It is his intention to rise to the top through means both foul and fair. Willem has no preference for colleagues either good or evil, as long he makes a tidy sum at the end. That said an alliance is only an alliance when it helps him, and should the balance of an alliance chance to not be in his favour, then he will loose interest, and maybe even swap sides!

While Branderback prefers use of the bow, one of Willems quirks is his attachment to the short sword or dagger, especially when in enclosed areas. This comes from an incident several years earlier where he accidentally shot a friend in the backside with an arrow whilst involved in a minor scuffle over guild turf. The friend, 'Lame Marrick' is still not talking to Willem.

3. Still young, Willem desires to prove himself, and realises that always moving about will help. In addition it is never desirable to spend too long in a location when in his line of business!
