== Overview == | |||
{{hatnote|For a full overview of Wyll's starting features, see the articles [[Warlock]], [[The Fiend]] and [[Human]].}} | |||
=== Background === | |||
The son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], ''"the Blade of Frontiers",'' as he is called, is bound by pact to serve the devil [[Mizora]]. Granted fiendish powers by his pactmistress, Wyll must hunt all manner of devils as part of the pact that binds them together. 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. | |||
=== Starting class === | |||
Wyll starts as a Fiend Warlock, giving him a chaotic and destructive set of skills. Wyll's proficiency with rapiers also makes him adept at melee combat, making him a flexible companion that can adapt to any combat roles required. | |||
=== Special features === | |||
* Wyll has the passive [[The Blade of Frontiers (passive feature)|The Blade of Frontiers]], granting him proficiency with rapiers regardless of class or background | |||
* Mizora, Wyll's patron, plays an active part in his story and can be encountered and interacted with. Wyll's choices when dealing with her can lead to positive or negative outcomes that impact his story. | |||
=== 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 difficulties 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 reckon with the large shadow cast by his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]]. | |||

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 a 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's on the hunt for a devil escaped from Avernus, and that he knows she's somewhere close. | After the nautiloid crashes, and without trace of his quarry, Wyll eventually finds himself at the [[Emerald Grove]].

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, she 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 devil as punishment. | Back at camp, on the next [[Long Rest]], Wyll announces the arrival of his patron, [[Mizora]].
