Willhem Schrunder

The principal antagonist of the Obscurring of the Terra Firma incident. He was a Welkanite, a fiercely antagonistic former Kingdom in the lands around Tronsvik. Styressia had conquered them in 1547 AC, mostly to end their destructive raids on not only Styressia but Heleninum. Many Welkanites refused to acknowledge Styressia as their overlord, and constantly strove to break away.
Willhem's goal was to create a destabilizing event in Styressia and Heleninum that would allow Welkania to declare independence and enact revenge on both entities.
Before his Welkania trechory was known, Willhems understanding of the arcane and expertise in engineering lead him to a posting in King Addo II's court. In the events leading to the Obscuring Willhem was the leading Styressian authority on the dangers of the Theva Towers. His reports and theories were highly influential in steering the Regency Council to declare war on Heleninum.
Willhem used his mastery of the arcane to develop a magical suit of armor to help Prince Mychal Skallange maintain his hardiness and skill level with the blade. But he was also using the suits magical bonds to train simulacrum's of the Prince, thus creating almost accurate versions of the prince to do his bidding. Its unknown what Willhems final intention was with the simulacrums, but there is evidence Willhem was setting up the means to mass produce significantly more of them.
