## Campaigns

**Wilnan** is a male half-elf ranger and member of Plan B. He is played by Ben S.

In "For Soulaxe" (2x18), Wilnan tackled Abel off a balcony of Skyreach Castle while it was airborne, presumably falling to his death.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Wilnan is on the taller side for a half-elf, standing at 6 feet and weighing in around 200 pounds. He has long, light brown hair, which he often obscures below his hooded cloak.

Several scars mar his otherwise attractive face, their origins unknown.

### **Personality**

Because of his woodland upbringing, Wilnan exhibits a sort of naiveté when it comes to civilization. He finds little monetary value in coin, although he does appreciate its shiny appearance.

Wilnan also has shown a propensity for impulsiveness, often acting before thinking or consulting with the group.

## **Background**

Wilnan was born in an elven community in city of Yartar. At age 11, after experiencing regular persecution for his "half-human" side, he ran away from home and eventually ended up in the High Forest. After just a few weeks, Wilnan unknowingly ingested a poisonous plant and collapsed near the Grandfather Tree, on the edge of death. An elver ranger named Hegron Grisk discovered the young boy, and took him back to his camp.

While nursing Wilnan back to good health, Hegron began to teach him the necessary skills to survive alone in the forest. He always told Wilnan it was because, "I see a lot of myself in you, boy."

### **Factions**

After defeating the young green dragon Venomfang in the ruins of Thundertree, Reidoth the druid made Wilnan a member of the Emerald Enclave. Wilnan's current rank with the faction is Springwarden.

## **Relationships**

### **Krisella**

Although never romantically involved, Krisella did show signs of jealousy and anger towards Wilnan after he spent the night with the goliath bard "Fatlip". Although she has since forgiven him, it appears that any emotions Krisella may have once held towards Wilnan have now dissipated.

### **Cansteline**

Wilnan and Cansteline have a friendly relationship. Since they both speak Gnomish, they often have conversations behind others' backs, including Krisella.

### **Halia Thornton**

Even though it appears Wilnan is slow to trust, he actually warms up to people quite quickly. This is not the case with Halia Thornton, however. After Krisella's untimely death in the Cragmaw Hideout, Wilnan and Cansteline luckily found a scroll of *resurrection* and asked Halia to restore Krisella to life. In return, Halia required that the trio would owe her five favors, to be collected at her discretion. Ever since this incident, Wilnan has avoided interacting with Halia at all costs, and refuses to meet with her or speak to her.
