Wyll: Difference between revisions

* 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.

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. 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.

As he states himself in Act 3, Wyll is 24 years old, having been exiled from Baldur's Gate for the past seven years since his pact with Mizora.

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 reading. Still, while he is able to partake in the pomp and vanity of higher society, he prefers the simple life he leads now.

The son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], Wyll observed many of the political inner workings of Baldur's Gate while growing up. His mother died in childbirth, and he spent a largely happy childhood being trained by his father, who came from a working-class background and taught Wyll practical skills, including swordplay. 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 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 realise the cost of dealing with devils, as one of the many clauses of the pact prevented him from disclosing what happened that night.{{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 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.}}

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.

* After the party's first encounter with Mizora, Wyll can be asked about his pact and history with her

* After slaying Ansur, Wyll laments his failure to bring the dragon to the party's side and suggests speaking to his father if alive and rescued
