William Longblade

Chaptermaster of Windhelm

Biography

William was born and raised in the streets of Windhelm, during the reign of Marcus Vardenfell. With his parents holding great shares in the Windhelm Trading Company, and even co-founding it, he was destined to stand at its head. He is named Chaptermaster of Windhelm in the year 1405, shortly before the Nordmarian Orc Invasion.
William has always been a man of the people. From sharing his wealth with beggars, to attending the local pubs, William holds out for his own. In particular, he's always had a love for the seamen. Would he not have felt the call from The Night's Watch, he surely would have taken to the sea. Nevertheless, he has led multiple expeditions from the Trading Company in his lifetime, becoming a capable captain. The acquisition of riches and wealth has always been in his interest, believing the Watch may only grow to its full potential by holding enough wealth to spare.
During his time as Chaptermaster, William has ensured the safeguard of his people against the waves of Nordmarian Orcs. After the Watch's triumph, William has dedicated his resources to the extension of Windhelm's harbor. As Lord Commander he would strengthen the Trading Company through his investments in Thessalonikos, and thereby increase the Watch's wealth.
Additionally, William has been gifted with magical capabilities. Although he has never received proper training, he knows how to hurl a firebolt at his foes.

Ideals

Bonds

Flaws

In addition, his affiliations with his hometown have made him somewhat isolated from the rest of the world.
