William Cadell

*"The next time I [smile or] cry I will fall apart and die.*

*The last time I shed a tear was 15 years ago."*

## Appearance

This stoic aged human is wearing relatively new Iron Heart armor and is often holding a black and gray shield in his off-hand. Rust can be seen on the helmet's visor obscuring his face. William Cadell's muscles have started to atrophy from age yet there is a conviction in how he holds his tools of defense. Splints are over his legs keeping him standing despite the body willing to buckle underneath. If perturbed, William Cadell has either an ancient Soul Alloy sword or axe in his main hand. He has *always been 6'2" and not 5'7"! Believe me on this one!*

## Personality

*`"I will protect Spireshire until there is peace or until I die. Most likely my death will come first."`*

William Cadell has declared Spireshire to be his home and will do whatever it takes to maintain the peace there and to protect it's inhabitants. Violence is never his first option preferring diplomatic solutions first and having a strong hand on the situation as a last resort.

There was always an advocate of peace in William Cadell, but his thoughts have become more jaded the longer he has been serving divine forces. His faith has been spent making him a calloused individual. He shelters the innocents from the burden of his truths yet to close confidants he will speak frankly about his nihilistic and borderline existentialistic worldviews. One of the most important times of your life is your final moments and once you are in the grave nothing matters anymore. Memorializing the dead is a conduit to supporting the ill wantonness of war and violence. Yet even with these strong beliefs, contradictions can be found within cracks in his armor. William Cadell is still searching for the reason why he was sent to this plane.

Keyboard music gives William Cadell a sense of comfort and familiarity for he learned to play the organ at a young age. This bit of normalcy has stuck with him as a core memory. He has not played the organ in a long time and has listened to the only recording of his recital to the point of ad nauseum for most.

William Cadell does not own a substantial amount of monetary wealth and instead donated it all to the Spireshire Surplus Storage.

## History

**[REDACTED]**

**Season 4** - Lived on a farm with Solus but could not get enough food to provide for himself so he moved to the a temple and served there as templar and priest. Spent a lot of time with Auro building up the land around the temple. Built a moss farm. His fruit press was stolen by Shirobake causing him to almost starve. A duel was established between William Cadell and Shirobake in a jousting arena that was created. Both the duel and the jousting arena were not fufilled. He almost was married to Solus in the temple by Quali before Solus left during the middle of the vows.

**[REDACTED]**

**Season 6** - Owned a horse named Whisper in the Wind. During his stay at Spireshire William Cadell has been pulled from his house by divine forces to serve for weeks at a time. In governing Spireshire, William Cadell has taken a back seat allowing the mayor, Zephyr, and OBERON to make the major changes while stepping in to be diplomatic to Spireshire's neighbors. When Millenia threatened hostilities to Spireshire, William Cadell initiated a plan to secure the Spireshire nether portal by building the Soup Bowl. The intimidation caused by the boiling water might have been a contributing factor to the de-escalation of the Spireshire and Millenia cold war. He became friends with Gorama before Gorama was betrayed and killed violently by The Great Wizard Caries. S.N.O.N. was summoned using Gorama's body in Everbright. While opening up his shell to OBERON, William Cadell ended up falling off a ledge while engaging S.N.O.N. in combat. Although initially dead, an outside force brought William Cadell back to life and into a coma. S.N.O.N. and OBERON used an IV drip to sustain William Cadell until he was able to wake up. The fall caused William Cadell's legs to break and the medicine provided would not heal them. OBERON teleported William Cadell home but divine forces had other plans for the broken man. Divine forces called for him: he was about to be whisked away and most assuredly die in his weakened state. OBERON kept William Cadell in a form of stasis playing tug of war with the divine until enough strength could be mustered to bring him home. In an act of defiance and willpower, OBERON succeeded in bringing William Cadell home in an explosive crash; the connection from William Cadell to divinity severed. Much later William Cadell tried going on a date: it was very awkward. Once the End opened up, William Cadell brought Whisper in the Wind to battle against the Dragon. He was able to slay the Dragon but his noble steed perished by the Dragon's breath. Although no resident of Spireshire perished in the Dragon fight, with the Dragon Egg in Atlas' hands and a Dragon free in the overworld, William Cadell's fight is not over. Has started constructing a new house on top of his old one.
