Willem Koning

Full name: Willem Koning

Known as: Willem Koning

Rank: Vigor Guard

Recruitment day: 1999-10-01

Appearance:

Work-description: Religion: is the most crucial part of society and plays an important role in Willem’s life. Willem can be described as a straightforward man who, according to many, serves only to strengthen the rule of the church. He resigned the rank of officer in 377 in order to devote himself to study of the holy scriptures and has written two editions of his works “My Exclamation” one at Trinsic in 387 edited by scribe Theodorus, the other at Yew in 395, published under the direction of Father Donovan, of the Guardsmen militia Templi order.

Personality: Willem's political and religious opinions are expressed somewhat crudely, and lent themselves to a somewhat fanatical interpretation. Although he managed to secure a high rank within the chain of command within two years, his crude and fanatic religious opinions were not shared. It was of deliberate purpose that he entered into opposition to those less faithful. He dreamed of showing a devotion to the Church equal to that of the great Templars; but alas he had not the same genius, self-control, and tact. He is a profound and keen defender of the doctrines of the Church. He holds that the doctrines of the church should be embraced at once by faith, through an act of the will.

Background: His father, Johanus Koning, was from Yew; his mother, Antoinette, from Vesper. Though his family hails from Vesper, Willem is a thorough Yewsman, full of national and local patriotism. His father, a fisherman, gave him a thorough education and placed him and his younger brother Francis under the monks of the Abbey of yew in his tenth year. He would later leave the abbey after having found out that the way to virtue taught by the monks was not the perfect one. His uncle, a great sergeant in the local militia, took an interest in the boy and introduced him to the arts of hunting and sword fighting, in which he became very proficient. In his eighteenth year, in spite of the opposition of his family, which was finally overcome by the intervention of the abbot, he entered the ranks of the militia. On his nineteenth, he was employed under the Master Corsair of the militia, and so learned about leadership and political business. At twenty-one he was elected sergeant and at twenty-five he succeeded the Master Corsair. He reformed the corsair division, and established trade routes along the coast of Britain. While being introduced to the militia's command twice, and both times resigned the rank of officer in order to devote himself to study the holy scriptures, he showed his loyalty to the Church, and his political tact, by cleverly helping lord Vigor to nobility and by doing so, increasing the influence of the church. By now Willem was rich, he belonged to a distinguished family; he held a prominent position in public life; and he was celebrated as a highly decorated guardsman. Willem was made advisor to renowned lord Vigor and when the latter died, he quietly took possession of his lords estate, land and resources.

Alignment: Lawful Evil -

Reputation: Highly decorated guardsman of the Yew militia, and a distinguished follower of the Church. He became the inseparable companion of duke Vigor, who gave the following description of their experiences. According to him, Willem was distinguished for skills in battle and seriousness of character and associated only with the most respected guardsmen of the Yew militia. He is able, grave, and well advanced in theology, battle tactics, sword fighting and he is expertly trained in scouting.

Motivations/goals: Willem finds faith in the Lord essential to civil and military order. Only by embracing the Lord can true britannians hold together. Without faith and discipline there can only be disaster. There is no place for tolerance for non-britannians and letting the guardian's creations spawn amongst britannians is corrupting your children. Willem finds it immoral to change things. Things are how they are and how they ought to be. New ideas are depravations of the mind and can only lead to the destruction of the true britannian and his society.

Quote: " From God - the king, from the king - the law."
