Wilheim (Antagonist)

Wilheim is the main antagonist of Path of Lightning.

Appearance and Personality
Wilheim is a rather odd looking man. He has pointed ears with a sort of 'wing' going across the length of the ears

He has gold hair and dull, silver eyes.

Wilheim tends to have an honest, open expresion, and now often carries an odd grin on his face.

He doesn't appears to carry weapons at a first glance; but due to his odd ability to turn into a sort of dragon, he can use the dragon's "wings" to fend off enemies. When he posseses ζ, he can fight using the powers over Dreams, Nightmares, and distruction.

Wilheim continues to wear the necklace of the Judges as a symbol that he defeated them. In his dragon form, he remains a mostly-white being, but he has a blinfold across his eyes. His wings aren't attached to his body but rather fragments that remain close to him in a wing-like pattern. Wilheim's dragon form also has an odd object that makes up the inside of his chest, which a pattern of transparent skin reveils.

Wilheim rarely, if ever, loses his temper or patience. He is quick-witted and extremely sadistic, never restraining his spiteful tongue.

Relationship With Other Characters
Wilheim feels that he should pay Ross back for his kindness toward him and secretly plans on sparing him after he kills the rest of the party.

He sees the true Nightmare Masters as an interesting race of creatures, and respects them to an extent. Rena is a little different; he originally saw her as only a tool to be used, but now he has a sort of odd feeling of lust towards her after he torments her. He enjoys her company, whether he is hurting her or not.

Wilheim finds Esper one of the most amusing party members to manipulate and to harass, due to his normally cold and apathetic outer shell.

Wilheim thinks nothing at all of Satoshi, Hitoshi, and the rest of the party. He veiws them as annoying little pests that provide him with some occasional amusement.

Early Life
Wilheim was originally a creature called a Fragment; beings whose limbs appear to be in fragments. They are usually mindless creatures that will attack anything on sight. The Judges took note of one particular Fragment that would not fight unless provoked and seemed to have a wise mind. Intrigued, the Judges gave Wilheim his name, a wise human-like mind, and a nearly human body. However, to make sure that Wilheim would not be able to use his Fragment powers to their highest, they bound a blindfold to Wilheim's Fragment form.

He was not only a servant to the Judges, but also their top interrogator and tormenter when need be. Over the years, he has become able to read and manipulate others as he sees fitting.
