Every family has its blacksheep. Wilhelm von Feld just happens to be the one for the von Feld family. In a family that produces Paladins, Clerics and good salt of the earth farmers one doesn't even have to be evil or even particularly rotten to be considered an oddball and whispered about at family gatherings and events by your relatives. Wilhelm's penchant for more intellectual pursuits was clear from an early point, while his brothers and cousin were hoeing and haying away in the fields, Wilhelm was more interested in reading books of dirty limericks and tale of powerful wizards of old. Wilhelm was also discovered to be an extraordinary klutz and some times he was considered to be a walking avatar of St. Murphy's Law. As helpful as Wilhelm would try to be his good intentions would invariably go astray and end in disaster.
