Willem Van De Velde

D&D Profile
Played by Tim, Willem is a Barbarian seeking the Path of the Totem Warrior.

Physical Description
Beefcake would be the best word to describe his appearance. His long wavy golden locks frame his chiseled face. His muscles are enlarged from his years tending to the machinery in the factories back in Belgium. Once he took to the wilderness he let his beard grow in fully. Usually you'll see him wearing a wool sweater with cotton trousers. He also carries a fur coat that he made himself for colder climates.

Background
Born and raised in Ghent, Willem always longed for the great outdoors. But with the times being what they were, he was sent to work in the factories. It was the Industrial Revolution, and while Ghent was primarily a textile city, Willem’s specialty was with metalworking and construction/maintaining the factories.

Soon into his career, business started shifting from Ghent to Liège, and Willem found himself out of work. He decided to leave the city behind and finally pursue his passion for living in the wild. He forsook his industrial achievements in favor of more simple weaponry. He started learning how to trap, and how to hunt and living off of the land.

Willem's Journey
Willem traveled from Belgium to London after receiving a letter from a person going by C.H. that promised that if he took this job he would be set for life. After getting to London he was then instructed to board another ship that took him and (unbeknownst to him) his teammates to Cape Town, South Africa. After meeting Manfred, C.H.'s personal contact, they stuck around the village and went shopping. Willem and Mason grouped together and went to The Talking Pig for a drink. They met a woman adorned with many jewels and she states that Dennis who runs one of the boats at the dock gave them to her.
