Born the 4th and youngest child of a minor noble in house Orlovsky, it could easily be said that Wilhelm Orlovsky barely qualifies for the honor of being called nobility. Indeed, Wilhelm was only passingly familiar with the fabulous wealth that his cousins and second cousins took for granted. His immediate family lived in conditions substantially worse then some merchants. Adding to the injustice (in his eyes) is that he is the youngest child and third son, and thus his own chances for glory as a master of his own domain were slim at best. Despite this, Wilhelm believes that he is destined for some greater purpose. He grew up hearing tales of heroism and glorious deeds which, in time, he would internalize and see as the story of his own life. It simply waited to be told. This penchant for heroics was largely responsible for his desire to become a paladin of Iomedae. From his father's perspective, it was a convenient means of finding something for his youngest son to do. It was his hope that he would eventually return to serve his family, but Wilhelm had other plans for himself. Many in the family scoffed, in typical Taldan fashion, at the stubborn Wilhelm's desire to serve a 'Chelish' god. His family had always worshiped the Inheritor in a fairly casual manner, largely to avoid needlessly antagonizing the rest of the Orlovsky clan. It was thus only after beginning his training that Wilhelm truly began to internalize the teachings laid out in The Acts in a meaningful way. The goddess' sense of honor, justice and valor appealed to the young Orlovsky and he soon found his faith to have grown from a flickering wisp of a candle flame into a steadily burning blaze. He prefers not to evangelize loudly, however. He prefers to demonstrate the tenets of his faith through example alone, in keeping with his ideal champion of light. It his been some time since he has completed his training and he burns with a incessant desire to seek out evil in the world and to carve out his place in a bard's song. It is for this reason that he made the brash pronouncement one evening that he would seek his fortunes in the untamed Stolen Lands to the south. He'd heard of the call for valorous adventurers by the Swordlords of Restov and wished to, in his own way, become the hero he envisioned himself to be. His father, a traditional man who held to the family's teachings against conflict, urged his son not to become a pawn in the political games of the Swordlords. "Use your head, boy! You would betray our family in order to empower those besotted fools?!? I won't have it!" Needless to say, the young paladin was unmoved by his father's pragmatism and boldly declared, with all the bravado of youth, that he was no one's pawn. It was on this sour note that he left his family's home in the foothills of the Icerime Peaks, eager to begin his adventure and take the glory that was sure to be his.
Appearance:
Wilhelm is a young man of Taldan stock whose features would generally be described as handsome. He's still young, so there is a certain lingering boyishness to his appearance that time has not yet worn away. Standing around 6 foot 1 inch tall and weighing around 200 pounds., he possesses an athletic build that hasn't yet had time to enter its prime. Wilhelm's eyes are marked by a dark emerald hue shot through with stray threads of hazel. He prefers to keep his hair and beard in a typical Taldan fashion and tends to be fastidious in making sure both are neat and tidy. He wouldn't readily admit it, but his primary motivation for keeping a beard is to make himself appear older. Personality:
Wilhelm Orlovsky, in the manner of a young man certain that he will succeed, has a penchant for being brash and headstrong. He's thoroughly convinced that his future holds nothing but honor and glory as a champion of Iomedae. His upbringing as a distant cousin in one of Brevoy's great noble houses has left him prickly about his family's honor and right to the title of "noble". Despite this loyalty, Wilhelm is often frustrated by his family's unwillingness to make a particular stand. He sees this as a form of cowardice and will occasionally drive him to act without thinking. Behind his youthful machismo, vanity and thirst for recognition, however, is a real desire to do good in the world. His stubbornness and willingness to rush into battle also translates into a tenacious loyalty that is often foreign to his fellow nobles. His ambitious dreams for himself lend him the fortitude to do the right and honorable thing even when it might otherwise be difficult. After all, what tales are sung of noble knight who would lie and cheat in order to gain glory? What's more, his faith in Iomedae continues to grow and he increasingly finds himself trying to emulate her example in all things. Amongst friends, Wilhelm has a certain boisterous charm that speaks plainly to his youth and relative inexperience with the world at large. He often treats all around him as friends, even when prudence would suggest he keep up his guard. This can occasionally manifest as a dangerous naivety that can be problematic in the particularly deadly political games that his peers are fond of playing. In short, Wilhelm is a still a young man who hasn't tasted enough hardship to know that caution is sometimes warranted.
