"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility."
~ Spiderman
Adopted from the Pound of Hope on 6/1/2014. Pound of Hope was run by Bentley.
Type of Creature:
Gryphon
Character's Name:
Wilhelm Jedrek
Names' Meanings and Languages of Origin:
Wilhelm means "Strong-Willed Warrior" and is German in origin; Jedrek means "Many, Strong" and is Polish in origin.
Character's Background Info:
Coming from kingdom far away from pretty much everything, one would think Wilhelm would be a king or an important official. But that person would be wrong. Wilhelm Jedrek is simply a commoner. He was graced with the opportunity to become part of the King's Official Guard - an elite group of flying creatures who had one sole purpose in the kingdom: defend and protect the King from harm. Wilhelm accepted gladly, happy to earn up the money for his elderly mother and father who were unable to work due to their old age and bad eyesight. His sister wasn't any help at all in caring for the family, seeing as she never stopped partying long enough to ask what was going on with them. Thus, the responsibility of caring for his aging parents fell to Wilhelm. He took the task gladly, happy to help his family in any way that he could. He had always been grateful to his parents for helping him learn right from wrong, and seeing that they'd raised him right, he wanted to give back to them. Once his sister flaked out, he knew exactly how he could do exactly this.
Wilhelm doesn't have many friends. Being high up in the King's Official Guard may have its perks - great pay; passionate co-workers; trust and loyalty between every member; etc. - but it also has its downfalls - alienation from the common people, as they see members as a sort of police; any being outside the group is wary of a member and may not trust him/her completely; etc. Wilhelm's only friends reside in the King's Official Guard with him, and while he'd rather have a more diverse group of friends, he's content with the ones he has currently, and counts himself lucky to be blest even with a few, loyal friends.
