Darcy Willner

"*He's a confusing fella. He's so, so deeply wrapped up in all of that Grey Guard garb, you kinda can't see the person underneath it. That's my problem with him. I cannot tell if deep down underneath all this bullshit he's got himself buried in if he's a good person or not... We're on fine terms, but, you know, I'm always on my guard around him. Cause he is too.*"
—Skoria to Kane Solace about Darcy[src]
**Darcy Willner** is a Human warlock and member of both the Grey Guard and the Red Rites. He has dedicated his life to the service of the Blackrazor, and this has taken him across the continent. Though he is a powerful combatant and is driven to fulfil the goals of his party, it is difficult to tell just how many secrets he's keeping, and just where his loyalties lie.

## Description

### Appearance

Darcy is a human male of twenty-six years. He wears round glasses, but it is unknown if he is short-sighted or far-sighted. He has short brown hair and slight stubble on his chin. Under his clothes, his skin is covered in flagellation marks.

### Personality

He acts as the *de facto* leader of the Red Rites (ironically so, as he's one of the younger members). He has a strong moral code, advocating strongly for Kane Solace getting a fair trial despite believing that he was guilty. He seems to prioritise the desires of the Blackrazor over the objectively moral thing to do, such as his choice to kill four children to sate his patron's hunger. He is naturally curious, with a great desire to find answers to questions.

## Biography

### Early Life

Darcy was born to Mr Willner and Mrs Willner in Magicnun in the spring of 4542 PF. His family was upper middle class, and he attended a private school on a scholarship. He and his father would take camping trips to the base of Magicnun and the surrounding lands and develop a map of the area together.

### Grey Guard

As a young adult, Darcy was drawn to the Grey Guard and made a deal with the Blackrazor. While part of the Grey Guard, he became particularly close with his fellow member Yuka Blight. It is known that he has died twice, and that he has killed four children.

### Red Rites

Darcy, along with Nym Zylleth, only joined the Red Rites after the Attack on Callstall, in order to interrogate Gale Pridestone.

He chose to fight the Trial of the Wolf, becoming the one to slay the wolf and earn the Wolf Coin.

In the caves of Frostford, he dreamt that he was killing Valka Antica but rather attack his fellow party member Brimy.

Darcy was the main speaker for the defense in the trial of Silverbreak v. Solace. In the combat near the forest, Darcy slew Gale, but did not absorb his soul (presumed to be because of a lack of a soul on Gale's part).

## Meta

The name Darcy is of Irish origin means "dark-haired", or "descendant of the dark". This name may have been chosen because the character is indeed dark of hair, but it may also refer to his pact with the Blackrazor and iffy morals. Willner likely comes from the German root Will, which means desire. Read literally, Darcy's name means "dark desire", which has wicked connotations.
