Wilhelm Voigt

**"I spent my first nine years in Dusseldorf, Germany, and learned the ways of leadership! Your English summercamps taught you to be soft and mushy Bible lovers, mine taught me to be strong, intelligent, tactful; kind to those who serve me and ruthless to those who would oppose me. And how can we forget? They taught me to be handy with a blade too!"** -Wilhelm's speech during The King's Moot.

## New Canon (Re-writes)

### Inceluous 1

Wilhelm makes his first appearance with Cokity, the two witnessing the fight between **Callum Harrison** and **Holloway Holloway** on an open day. They later re-appear after joining Bishop Beginsford, Cokity showing his friend The Milfchete. Callum mistakenly enrages Cokity, due to his cringe attitude, leading to Cokity stabbing Callum in the leg. Wilhelm steals his wallet. The two then go to the library, where they purchase a copy of *Inceluous: The Before Years* for comedy.

Wilhelm later re-appears due to helping out at the prom. An argument with Cokity leads to the two of them separating for a while. Wilhelm later pursues Cokity onto the roof, and after reconciling the two re-enter through a rubbish shute, which forces **Michael Urderer** to escape. The two agree to leave the prom in order to not be killed by the attacking Code Syphilis members.

### Cokhelm: An Unusual Holiday

Wilhelm is one of the boys who survives the plane crash, due to him somehow defying the laws of physics. Wilhelm is one of the first to suggest establishing a temporary democracy, putting himself up for a leadership position during the King's Moot. Unfortunately, Wilhelm loses this role to **Beggin Goggin,** whose charisma and status exceeded that of Wilhelm. Whilst discussing the loss with Cokity, he overhears a confrontation with the island's tribe, the milkmen. Thanks to Wilhelm's negotiation skills, he is made the Foreign Secretary by Beggin, along with the head of the Communications Division. Wilhelm thanks Beggin, earning him favour with the so-called king.

Wilhelm and Cokity continue their sparring sessions, discovering the properties of the milkfruit. This is interrupted by Beggin's announcement: that he will seek a solution to the issues surrounding the boy's hormonal impulses, though not phrased as eloquently. Wilhelm assists in this request, the boys able to obtain Coney Seeds from the milkmen tribe's leader, **Baheji.** The seeds hold the ability to render someone temporarily infertile for forty-eight hours. Wilhelm is among those who the seeds work for, though he cares little, as at the time he is questioning his sexuality. Cokity too is lucky with the seeds. However, the two discover that the seeds do not work for Beggin, beginning his sexual frustrations.

Wilhelm assists Cokity on his quest to have sex, thus making Cokity the first boy to have sex on the island. The two are initially unsuccessful in their search, until one woman of the milkmen tribe fulfils Cokity's wish. Wilhelm wisely decides to leave them to it, wandering into a social event the milkmen tribe are holding. Wilhelm participates, telling the classic German tale, Max and Moritz by Wilhelm Busch. Wilhelm begins his friendship with Baheji, the two bonding over their shared interest in the world and humanity. Wilhelm spends the night in the milkmen village, finding Cokity in the morning, crashed out. Wilhelm claims to Beggin that he and Cokity were simply on a diplomatic mission, Beggin misinterpreting the situation and believing the both of them to have been unable to hold their desires.

Wilhelm and Cokity continue their sparring sessions, Cokity managing to impress Wilhelm with his unusual strategy. Afterwards, Wilhelm's kindness is demonstrated when he allows the Communications Division a break. Some days afterwards, Wilhelm is called to the office of Beggin, made out of the remains of one of the plane's cockpits, trying his best to calm the so-called king's rage. By now, Wilhelm's respect for Beggin has eroded significantly now his incompetence has been made clear. Frustrated with Beggin's lack of any kingly activity, he visits Baheji, the two discussing material delights and their worth in life. Shortly after, the supply shortages on the island have become increasingly difficult. Wilhelm attempts to convince Beggin of a peaceful solution, but he isn't having it and announces his intent to 'locate more food.'

Wilhelm is among the boys who witness Beggin's violent outcry to defy the rule of pacifism set by the milkmen. Baheji confronts Beggin, but the boy is not convinced. Wilhelm and Cokity choose to stand with the milkmen chief, enraging Beggin into attacking them. Baheji defends the two boys, but his pacifist nature is used against him when Beggin guts him with the spearhead. Filled with vengeance, Wilhelm retaliates by hacking Beggin to death with the Milfchete, this being the first time Wilhelm takes someone's life. Both the boys and the milkmen now in battle, Wilhelm and Cokity flee.

The two boys consider their options, Cokity suggesting they run to a vantage point. Atop the cliff, they relax for a while and confide in each other. Wilhelm discovers Cokity's interest in historical poetry, and in turn, Cokity discovers Wilhelm's troubles with his sexuality, Cokity having no issue with it. Later, the two are awoken by the roaring of some creature from the mountain summit. Cokity calms Wilhelm and insists the two investigate, their only other option being to face the rest of the boys in combat. Once there, the two encounter a giant horned creature and combat ensues. The creature eventually reveals itself to be harmless, also being the one the milkmen thought to be their god. The creature is dubbed **Blackfur Monkeypaw**. The three of them make their way back to the boys camp, being immediately attacked when they reach it. After a fight, the boys fighting the trio lose with their leader, **Lukas Xenophontos,** being the last to fall.

Blackfur and **Damien,** one of the few surviving boys to be against Beggin's violent outburst, agree to stay on the island, Wilhelm and Cokity taking the remnants of the plane and forming a makeshift raft. The boys agree to travel back through Europe and leave the island, saying farewell to their friends that remain.

## Relationships

### Cokity Debeste McInjury

Wilhelm and Cokity have been friends for a number of years, ever since their meeting on the Bishop Beginsford Open Day. Despite the two's contrasting personalities, they work well together, acting as confidants and influences on each other. The two's stint on Tom Hanks Island and subsequent trip through Europe only served to reinforce the friendship between the two, depending on each other for survival.

### Holloway Holloway

The two interact little for the majority of the series, yet Wilhelm is seemingly aware of Holloway and **Amy Godson's** relationship. However, thanks to the situation with Code Syphilis in Inceluous 2, the two become friends. By Inceluous 3, the both of them work together to uncover the conspiracy and later Wilhelm is one of the first to console him on the loss of Amy.

### Baheji

Wilhelm's friendship with Baheji is born from a mutual interest in the world and humanity. To Wilhelm, Baheji is something of a mentor figure, his pacifist ways inspiring him. In addition, the both of them seem ideological equals, giving a confidant for Wilhelm as the boys other than Cokity do not understand him. Baheji's death continued to affect Wilhelm for some time afterwards.

### Beggin Goggin

Intially, Wilhelm tries his best to respect Beggin, despite losing to him in the King's Moot. Yet, as Beggin's incompetence and libido grows, Wilhelm's respect wavers. Wilhelm eventually ends up dicing Beggin as revenge for Baheji's murder, ending their relations. However, Wilhelm seems more hung up over the act of taking a life than having killed Beggin specifically.
