=== Background === | === Background === | ||
Being the fabled ''"Blade of Frontiers"'' and the son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], Wyll is bound by pact to serve the devil [[Mizora]], a cambion in the service of the Archdevil [[Zariel]]. Granted fiendish powers by his pactmistress, Wyll must hunt all manner of devils at the command of his patron. Prepared to sacrifice anything to protect [[Baldur's Gate]], Wyll must struggle to maintain his desire to do good against Mizora's machinations for the opposite. | |||

Wyll's | === Personal quest === | ||
Wyll's personal quest is [[The Blade of Frontiers]], spanning all acts of the game. Throughout it, Wyll must deal with what it truly means to be a hero, facing the overwhelming odds as he struggles to embody the ideals taught by his father. | |||
Two further quests are available that tie into his personal quest: [[Hunt the Devil]], in which Wyll's vow to slay all fiends will be tested, and [[The Grand Duke]], where Wyll must uphold his honour and reckon with the large shadow cast by his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]]. | |||

== Description == | |||
=== Appearance === | |||
Wyll has dark brown hair kept in neat rows with cropped sides, a trimmed circle beard adorning his face. His right eye is made out of a sending stone, gifted by Mizora as a replacement after losing his eye fighting cultists, doubling as a method to keep track of him.{{ref|name=eye|[[Campsite]], lines spoken by Wyll when he reveals the terms of his pact after saving Mizora.<br>''"Mizora replaced it with a sending stone. She uses it to track my location and speak from a distance."''}} Despite the scars adorning his face, he retains a youthful face and a friendly, yet determined gaze. He dresses modestly, his outfit suited for combat and hunting, with the only thing hinting at his noble upbringing being his rapier. | |||
If transformed into a devil, two great black horns will sprout from his forehead curving backwards menacingly. His face receives new scars on his cheeks and neck and his good eye will be turned black, with a crimson red pupil. | |||
As he states himself in Act 3, Wyll is 24 years old,{{ref|name=age|Campsite, lines spoken by Wyll when he reveals the terms of his pact after saving Mizora.<br>''"I was seventeen. (...) That's when the Cult of the Dragon made its move."''}} having been exiled from Baldur's Gate for the past seven years since his pact with Mizora. | |||
=== Personality === | |||
Heroic and kindhearted, but conflicted and ever struggling against his pactmistress, Wyll has dedicated most of his life to fighting on behalf of the people of the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_Coast Sword Coast]. He takes his duty and title seriously, and speaks boastfully of his skills and past as ''"the Blade of Frontiers"''. Despite his determination to his cause, he has a more playful side, suggesting that the party stops to try the drinks at [[The Waning Moon]], and wistfully saying to Karlach that he would love to unwind and swim at the beach in Act 3. | |||
He retains some of his noble upbringing, not only in the manner of his speaking, but also in some of the past-times he has, such as dancing and a fondness for good wine.{{ref|name=ulder|Various locations, lines spoken by Wyll when revealing his relationship with Ulder Ravengard.<br>''"Father's the son of a blacksmith, born with barely a coin in the coffers. (...) I spent more time duelling with father than I did rubbing elbows with lords. Not to say I didn't develop a taste for good wine and a talent for courtly dance."''}} Still, while he is able to partake in the pomp and vanity of higher society, he prefers the simple life he leads now.{{note|Wyll's story was almost entirely rewritten for full release after fan feedback. In Early Access, he struggled with a brutal side and with living up to the title of the Blade of Frontiers, and had a particular hatred of goblins. His pact with Mizora was made due to his desire for vengeance after being attacked by goblins and losing his eye to one of them. His personality on release was rewritten to be more genuinely heroic and kind-hearted, with his personal struggles focusing more on his relationship with his father and with Mizora, and his hatred of goblins being swapped for a hatred of devils and their kind.}} | |||

Why's that?"<br>Wyll: "Because there's nothing to tell. She died when I was born."''}} and he spent a largely happy childhood being trained by his father, who came from a working-class background, being taught practical skills such as swordplay.{{ref|name=ulder}} Much of Wyll's principles come from his father, who instilled in him a sense of duty to the city of Baldur's Gate and its people. As his father rose through the ranks of nobility, Wyll took part of many noble gatherings, getting to know that side of the city well. | |||
When he was seventeen, Wyll | === A pact with the devil === | ||
When he was seventeen, Wyll felt a grave warning urging him to investigate the outskirts of the city, where he encountered [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists ready to summon the tyrannical dragon goddess to the plane. Eager to stop them, but young and powerless against many armed cultists, Wyll's desperation attracted [[Mizora]] who offered him a solution: her powers in exchange for his eternal servitude. Wyll didn't hesitate, and together they made quick work of the cult,{{ref|name=pact2|Campsite, vision of the events shared by Wyll when he reveals the terms of his pact after saving Mizora.<br>''Wyll: "A tenday after father left, I head a whisper as I slept.

Then I'll tell you everything you want to know."''}} Though Mizora never gave specifics for why she approached Wyll, all she revealed was that Tiamat's scheme was at odds with [[Zariel|Zariel's]] plans.{{ref|name=zariel|Campsite, lines spoken by Wyll when he reveals the terms of his pact after saving Mizora.<br>''"Tiamat made a play for power. Zariel had other plans."}} | |||
When his father, Ulder Ravengard, returned from [[Elturel]] to find his son accompanied by a devil, he demanded an explanation, yet Wyll's tongue was unable to explain what happened, and the scene of the ordeal was conveniently cleaned up. With cold disappointment, his father cast him out from the city, forever exiled to the frontiers.{{ref|name=hush}}{{ref|name=exile|Campsite, line spoken by Ulder Ravengard when talking to him with Wyll present after rescuing him.<br>''"My son, you sold your soul to save Baldur's Gate - and I cast you out for it."''}} | |||

Ever since, Wyll has roamed the frontiers beyond Baldur's Gate, struggling to serve the city, protect the weak and fight for justice, as he carries out Mizora's infernal whims. | |||

At the start of the game, Wyll is on the hunt for [[Karlach]], the latest target his patron Mizora | ''The Blade of Frontiers'' is Wyll's personal quest. It is added to the journal upon recruiting him, and it spans all three acts of the game. | ||
==== Act One ==== | |||
At the start of the game, Wyll is on the hunt for [[Karlach]], the latest target his patron Mizora wishes dead. Forced to obey as part of their pact, the hunt takes Wyll to [[Avernus]], where he finds his quarry slaying scores of her own. Wyll's relentless pursuit after the fleeing Karlach eventually ends on a rogue [[Nautiloid]], suddenly materialised before them. As they confront each other on the ship, they are captured by [[Mind Flayer|mind flayers]] and tadpoled, kept aboard awaiting [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ceremorphosis ceremorphosis]. | |||
After the Nautiloid crashes, and without trace of his quarry, Wyll eventually finds himself at the [[Emerald Grove]]. Moved by the plight of the refugees within, he stays to protect them from [[Goblin|goblin]] attacks. After fending off the goblin scouting party, Wyll can be spoken to in [[The Hollow]]. He will recognize the party as being aboard the nautiloid and agrees to join the party in order to find a cure for the tadpoles together. He also reveals that he is on the hunt for a devil escaped from Avernus, and that he knows she is somewhere nearby. | |||
Karlach can be found near the [[Toll House]], prompting Wyll to confront her. Though Karlach defends her innocence, Wyll is determined to slay her until their tadpoles connect and a vision of Karlach's escape from Avernus is shared between the party members. The vision shows her tearing through the [[Zariel|Archdevil Zariel's]] forces, frantically seeking escape. She is a victim of the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_War Blood War], not an agent of it. A choice presents itself: ignore the warnings and help Wyll slay Karlach, or trust her and spare the [[Tiefling|tiefling]]. Should Karlach be spared, she can be convinced to join the party. If slain, her head can be taken as proof of Wyll's successful hunt. Sparing Karlach opens the possibility of assisting her in [[Hunt the Devil]], where a group of followers of Zariel are hunting her down. | |||
Back at camp, on the next [[long rest]], Wyll announces the arrival of his patron, Mizora. She introduces herself to the party, greeting everyone mischievously, and reveals that it was her who gave Wyll his mission to hunt down Karlach. If Karlach was killed, she will be pleased and will reward Wyll. If she was spared, however, Mizora will remind Wyll the terms of their pact and argue that Karlach does indeed fit the description of ''heartless''. Should Wyll insist on not killing the tiefling, Mizora will take it as a breach of the pact, transforming him into a fiend as punishment. The same result will happen if the party never completes Wyll's mission and ignores Karlach entirely. | |||
If the party reaches [[Waukeen's Rest]], they'll find a burning inn surrounded by [[Flaming Fist|Flaming Fists]], mercenaries working as [[Baldur's Gate|Baldur's Gate's]] enforcers. They'll quickly reveal that Grand Duke Ravengard is trapped inside, and needs to be saved. Wyll quickly moves to help, rescuing [[Florrick|Counsellor Florrick]], the duke's advisor, in the process, but no signs of the duke can be found. Outside and safe, Florrick recognises Wyll and urges him to save his father, letting slip that Wyll is the son of the duke. Ambushed by [[Drow|drow]], the duke was kidnapped and taken to [[Moonrise Towers]], the base of operations of the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. | |||
==== Act Two ==== | |||
At some point during the adventures in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Mizora will appear before Wyll and the party, informing Wyll that the absolutists have captured an important asset of Zariel, a powerful devil, and that he must rescue them. Stressing out the importance of the mission, Mizora disappears as quickly as she arrived. | |||
Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather, they can only be saved upon entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] after the first battle with [[Ketheric Thorm]]. There, the party finds Mizora herself trapped within a pod in the [[Mind Flayer Colony#Tadpoling Centre|Tadpoling Centre]]. Mizora can be freed from the pod, or killed, though killing her will also kill Wyll as per the terms of their pact. Should the party free her, she can be persuaded to reward Wyll. Mizora can also be pressed to end Wyll's contract, to which she will relent but not without first stipulating that it will take another six months for the pact to end. Rescuing Mizora lifts Wyll's restriction on speaking about his pact, allowing the party to learn more about his deal with her. | |||
Following Ketheric through the colony, the party eventually finds him arguing with [[Enver Gortash]] and [[Orin|Orin the Red]], with Duke Ravengard next to them. After the [[Absolute]] is revealed to be an [[Elder Brain]] under the control of the three Chosen, Orin takes the duke and forces a tadpole into his eye. Gortash and Orin leave for Baldur's Gate not long after, with a now enthralled duke in tow. | |||
=== | ==== Act Three ==== | ||
Arriving at Baldur's Gate, Mizora can be found once more waiting for Wyll and the party on the main floor of the [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]], provided she was rescued from Moonrise. She will mock Ulder Ravengard's fate and goad Wyll into hurrying to the main chamber. When the party returns, Mizora will announce that she is ready to break the pact between her and Wyll, and that she will meet everyone back at the campsite. | |||
After the next long rest, Mizora will appear, ready to bargain. If Duke Ravengard remains alive, Mizora will offer his location, in exchange for a sacrifice. Wyll is then presented with a choice: break the pact immediately, but sacrifice his father to his fate, or remain forever bound to Mizora in exchange for his father's freedom. Should Duke Ravengard be dead, however, Mizora will present a different bargain: bring back Wyll's father from the dead in exchange for young Ravengard's soul, or break the pact immediately. | |||
Mizora will be pleased with whatever choice Wyll makes, remaining in camp as a [[Camp Follower|camp follower]], allowing the party to talk to her and learn more about Wyll's patron. This will also make her available as an ally against the Absolute as part of the quest [[Gather Your Allies]]. | |||
Duke Ravengard can be later found in the [[Iron Throne]], an underwater fortress used by Gortash and his Banites. The party can attempt to break him out, however, if Wyll sacrificed him in exchange for his freedom, Mizora will appear and attempt to murder the duke, ensuring the deal goes through as pacted between them. If the duke survives, Wyll and his father may have a long overdue reunion, and can then speak to Mizora, who will not be entirely pleased about the outcome but will otherwise not punish Wyll for outfoxing her. Duke Ravengard will then urge Wyll to find [[Ansur]], a legendary dragon said to sleep under the city, ready to defend it during its time of greatest need. | |||
Ansur can be found in the [[Wyrmway]], below the fortress' prison. The legendary [[Balduran]] has prepared trials to test the mettle of adventurers before they may seek audience with Ansur. Wyll's upbringing proves valuable during these trials, as he can be consulted for possible solutions to them. With the trials completed, the party may face Ansur, yet all they would find is the decayed corpse of the once-great wyrm. Reanimated, Ansur and the [[Emperor]] begin arguing, and it's revealed that the mind flayer is none other than Balduran, turned illithid when he was captured near Moonrise Towers. Angered by Balduran's betrayal, Ansur will attack, forcing the party to put down the wyrm for good. | |||
Ansur's fate can then be revealed to Ulder Ravengard if alive. He will propose Wyll become a Grand Duke of the city, following his father's steps, to which Wyll can agree or decline. Regardless of the choice, duke Ravengard will pledge his support for the coming battle. | |||

=== | ==== The Blade of Avernus ==== | ||
If Wyll rejected the possibility of becoming a duke of Baldur's Gate, he will take the mantle of ''"the Blade of Avernus"'' and vow to hunt devils in their own homeland. By the time he is summoned by [[Withers]] for his gathering six months after the events of the game, Wyll has become a seasoned slayer of fiends, boasting about his many hunts. With a contract broken, he will also mention that he's working with a diabolist from [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Calimshan Calimshan] to use his sending stone eye to track Mizora, setting his sights on his former patron. If still bound to his patron, he mentions that she's been surprisingly hands-off, sending him only after demons and devils as per their agreement. If Karlach was convinced to return to Avernus with Wyll, they join efforts together to find a cure for her mechanical heart, growing closer after many months together.{{ref|[[Epilogue]], lines spoken by Karlach during Withers' gathering when both she and Wyll ended up in Avernus by the end of the game.<br>''"Wish Wyll and I had more time to reminisce, but surviving Avernus is just non-stop. Still, having him there has been incredible. You really can get through anything with someone you love at your side."''}}{{note|Karlach's quote about Wyll isn't elaborated further, and can be interpreted as platonic or romantic love.}} | |||
==== Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate ==== | |||
Should Wyll become Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he oversees the reconstruction of the city, parleying with influential nobles for aid and tightening bonds with the other cities of the Sword Coast. If Ulder Ravengard lives, Wyll works with him in order to marshal the forces for peace and renewal. The city's gates are opened to all refugees that need sanctuary and the Council of Four is reformed, with an invitation to becoming a Grand Duke extended by Wyll to a romanced player. If Wyll never broke his contract with Mizora, she remains involved in his life, enjoying the political intrigue in her human guise, though she's been keeping Wyll on a long leash for reasons known only to her. | |||
=== | ==== Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate ==== | ||
