Wyll is heroic and kindhearted, dedicating most of his life to fighting on behalf of the people of the Sword Coast. He takes his duty and title seriously, and speaks boastfully of his skills and past as the Blade of Frontiers. He has a more playful side, suggesting that the party stop to try the drinks at [[The Waning Moon]], and wistfully saying to Karlach that he would love to stop and swim at the beach in Act Three.{{note|name=rewritten}} | Wyll is heroic and kindhearted, dedicating most of his life to fighting on behalf of the people of the Sword Coast.

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 subquests 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 shadow of his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]]. | |||

The son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], Wyll observed many of the political inner workings of Baldur's Gate while growing up.

When he was seventeen, Wyll encounted a cult of Tiamat's worshippers, who were on the cusp of summoning the evil dragon goddess to Baldur's Gate. Mizora appeared and offered him a deal that would allow him to stop the ritual, but prevented him from speaking of it, and therefore explaining himself to his father when he returned after the fall of [[Elturel]] into [[Avernus]]. Wyll's father was furious and turned his back on his son, and Wyll left Baldur's Gate, only returning over the course of the game. | When he was seventeen, Wyll encounted a cult of Tiamat's worshippers, who were on the cusp of summoning the evil dragon goddess to Baldur's Gate.

===A pact with a devil=== | |||
When he was seventeen, Wyll encountered [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate, 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 of servitude. Wyll didn't hesitate, and together they made quick work of the cult, however, young Ravengard would soon realize the cost of dealing with devils, as one of the many clauses of the pact prevented him from disclosing what happened that night. | |||
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. | |||
{{SpoilerBox|custom=Wyll's pact clauses| | |||
Some of the clauses are revealed by Mizora throughout the game: | |||
* Clause F § 9: ''<nowiki/>'Soul-binder shall bestow reward or favour only upon soul-bearer's fulfillment of related obligation.''' | |||
* Clause G § 9: ''<nowiki/>'Targets shall be limited to the infernal, the demonic, the heartless, and the soulless.''' | |||
* Clause Z § 13: ''<nowiki/>'Should the promised soul refuse obeyance or neglect duty, the pact-holder shall cast the promised in Avernus as a lemure.''' | |||
* Clause Z § 13: ''<nowiki/>'If the soul-binder consents to separation, she will release the soul-bearer from all obligation within six months.''' | |||
* Addendum F: ''<nowiki/>'The Absolute must be avenged for the soul-binder's detention at Moonrise. The soul-bearer retains his gifts until such time as the Absolute is slain.'''}} | |||

At the start of the game, Wyll is on the hunt for [[Karlach]], the latest target his patron Mizora has demanded he kill for her. He must obey, or suffer great consequences. The hunt took to Wyll to [[Avernus]], where he, along with Karlach, was captured and infected with a mind flayer tadpole. | At the start of the game, Wyll is on the hunt for [[Karlach]], the latest target his patron Mizora has demanded he kill for her.

Wyll is incapable of speaking the terms of his deal with Mizora aloud, but when asked, he assures the player that he would make the same choice again, and that he did it for the good of the Sword Coast. | Wyll is incapable of speaking the terms of his deal with Mizora aloud, but when asked, he assures the player that he would make the same choice again, and that he did it for the good of the Sword Coast. | ||
Depending on the player's choices, Wyll may refuse to kill Karlach when he learns that she is not a "heartless devil" as Mizora described, but a good-heated Baldurian [[tiefling]] whose heart was literally removed. As punishment, Mizora transforms his body into a devil's, giving him a pair of horns, black eyes, sharp teeth, and mottled skin. Despite the similarities between Wyll's devlish appearance and tieflings, he is specified to have the appearance of a devil, not a tiefling, and tiefling leader [[Zevlor]] is said to be alarmed by his appearance. | Depending on the player's choices, Wyll may refuse to kill Karlach when he learns that she is not a "heartless devil" as Mizora described, but a good-heated Baldurian [[tiefling]] whose heart was literally removed.
