Strengths
+ Veteran Commander. Wilhelm has been leading troops his entire life, having a keen eye to tactical maneuvers and field behavior.
+ Good Soldiers Follow Orders. Wilhelm will almost never lose faith. Though he will choose a tactical retreat, it would take alot to break the man's mind and even more to make him befall to panic.
Weaknesses
- Grudgeful Beyond Words. Wilhelm will hold the slightest misbehavior or misdeed against oneself, and will hardly ever forget someone who wronged him.
- Physically a wreck. His old age, disease, and life's hardships have left a weak body, with hardly any capacity to engage in any sort of physical confrontation.
Historical Information
Wilhelm has been in the Iron Guard ever since he can remember himself. And oh, that man has a rather sharp memory...
Though his origins are questionable, and he will always give a different answer, if any at all, when asked, Wilhelm is from the few lucky -or rather, unlucky- individuals who managed to join the Guard as privates, and survive long enough to see themselves be given command of an entire regiment, as General. In the case of Wilhelm, he had the misfortune of commanding one of the Iron Guard's newest regiments, the IG88, also known as simply "The 88th".
His command of the 88th has been rather effective, with the regiment surviving several deployments during the Sieges of Wesalla, with his troops oftentimes detesting him, though unable to deny his capabilities and effective command as their leader. Those few who were brave, or foolish, enough to speak against him, were shot.
Wilhelm's undying loyalty to his Iron Cult masters has been made legend, throughout the course of the Wesallan conflict, while the 88th grew the tendancy of employing bloody and costly bayonet charges, achieving their objectives regardless the cost.
