His family had been bakers for more generations than they could count, but as the 5th of 7 children there was little room in the family business for him. William aspired to something greater. A pious lad schooled in the church he dreamed of being a noble paladin. The church had other ideas. He didn't fit the mold of a noble hero. He was clumsey, his hand-me-down clothes were often spotted with flour and his naturally curley hair often unruley. He didn't make the cut to be trained in either the church of heironious or pelor. He was a resonably talented boy, but not exceptional and lacked any connections that might have secured him a place in the ranks of paladins. Undaunted, young William undertook to become a paladin on his own. Perhaps this independent streak and a lack of willingness to accept his place in life was part of the reason he was considered unsuited to become part of a knightly order. He studied and practiced endlessly. He poured over religious texts and even mastered the Celestial language. He would champion no god, but instead dedicate himself to good and the liberation of the downtrodden. He became something of a joke in his local village practacing with cast off weapons and armor and a horse more suited to a farmers field than a battlefield. His shining armor was a somewhat battered suit of studded leather with some dark stains suggesting that the last wearer found it less than adequate. He could not aford a sword and so makes do with an axe from a long forgotten war that has been used more recently to chop kindling for the baker's oven. As he grew to manhood he began to look more like a paladin growing into a broad strong young man with bright eyes and pleasant face. He left his little village behind and began to venture out into the world to find wrongs to right. He drills himself with weapons and does his best to train his horse for war. Recently, he arrived in Cauldron nearly broke and not sure what course to take next. Appearance/Personality: William is a fairly handsome young man with a shock of dark curley hair and sparkling green eyes. He is of average height and a little thin from constant exercise and little food. His gear is a mix of cast offs, some of it quite old, but carefully maintained. Stout studded leather armor is covered by a reasonable fine blue sircoat. A carefully painted symbol of good is flaking off a small wooden shield is carried on one arm. An old style battle axe honed thin from countless shapenings hangs at his side along with a dagger such as any simple townsman might wear. A battered forest green quiver holding a few javelins hangs from one shoulder. A simple wooden symbol of good is worn about his neck on an leather thong. He wears no jewelry or other adornments of any kind. William is a humble man and though strong in his convictions and desire to be a paladin he never tries to look down on others. He converses easily with simple folk, but can be nervous around the nobility. He has a friendly easy maner, but years of being teased about his quest for paladinhood has left him wary.</blockquote>
