Childhood (1979-1988)
Wilhelm was born in Munich, Germany on August 8th, 1979. He had a happy childhood growing up with his brother, Jakob, and his close uncle, Nathan. Intelligent from a very young age, Wilhelm read and wrote well just before starting Kindergarten. His father always read the newspaper with him in the evenings. Being a businessman, Wilhelm's father, Gunter, traveled often. Wilhelm asked his mother if she could teach him to write so that he could send letter to his father abroad. Persistent, his mother agreed to spend time with him, and he learned to write in short time. At the first letter he received, Gunter was confused. Reading through the hardly legible letter about home and life left him puzzled, until he saw who signed it. Scrawled on the bottom was, "Love, Wilhelm." Gunter's heart was never so warm. Spending time with family wasn't Wilhelm's only childhood activity. He loved playing with his dog, a large, old black lab. While his dog, Alfred, often tired out before Wilhelm, there was no end to the fun. At least, not until tragedy struck the family. Wilhelm was left at home, now 5, with the 3-year-old Jakob, under the watch of Nathan while his mother was running errands and his father over seas, in America. A dark, quiet night an eerie phone rang in the house. The family was relaxing in the living room when word was given. Wilhelm was puzzled when Nathan entered, looking down. Without explanation other than their destination, the hospital, the two children were loaded into the car. The trip was long, and the young boys fell asleep shortly after departing. Awoken by the flashing lights of an ambulance in the parking lot, Wilhelm rubbed his eyes and was lead into the hospital. A wait the seemed forever ended with news that the family could not understand. Hilde, Wilhelm's mother, was dead. Returning home, leaving a gas station, a speeding car slammed into her door. There was nothing that could be done. Wilhelm lived in wonder for the next four years.
The Body, How Does it Work? (1988-1995)
His fascination with the body started when he was 9, while watching an educational film on anatomy. In a sense, he was obsessed, and constantly bombarded his family with questions that they couldn't answer; How does this work, and why is that there? What does this do? His father, exhausted of his little medical knowledge, sent young Wilhelm to the library to check out books on the body. This way, he thought, Wilhelm's curiosity could be satisfied. His thirst, however, was not quenched; In fact, the more Wilhelm knew, the more he wanted to know. All throughout school he would research and read more about anatomy. He went to hospitals and doctor offices where he became interested in disease and medicine, which he continued to learn on his own as well. With his knowledge, Wilhelm became the "local doctor." Whenever there was a minor injury or a cough, he was quickly on the case, and knew just what to do.
Higher Education (1995-2002)
His opportunity came as a young adult, when it came time to choose where his education was going and what career it would lead him to. At 16, he was finally able to choose a vocation, and studied medicine in school. In 1996, Wilhelm was 17 and decided to continue his education with an apprenticeship. A family friend, Paul Pferdmann, was a surgeon at the local hospital. Paul gladly took the interested youth under his wing, where Wilhelm learned hands-on about surgeries; The medicine, the tools, and most importantly, the body. When it came time, Wilhelm looked everywhere for a university to take him. This was not hard, with his fascination and current knowledge, many universities wanted him. The hard task was finding a university that he wanted. After a long search, he decided to stay close to home.
Adult Life (2002-2004)
Wilhelm graduated from the University of Munich in 2002 at the age of 23, donned with the title, "Dr." Taking to his new title, his friends became calling him by it. Wilhelm was now "Doctor." He worked as a surgeon in a small hospital near his home. His next mission was love. He searched through the women he knew well, trying to find one who would take him, and who he'd take. He found her; Claudia Wunderhuhn was beautiful, intelligent, and completed him. They became engaged and lived together before their wedding. Sadly, their wedding never happened. It was cut short by an unexpected incident.
The Portal Storms (2004-2010)
Wilhelm was 25 when he moved to a military base away from Munich to survive from the monsters teleporting in around the world. He took his love, Claudia, with him. He continued his work, helping the injured in a makeshift hospital. Without much ability to save lives without the correct tools, a lot were lost. Wilhelm become accustom to death. Unfortunately, there were a few more in his future, that he could simply not handle. The lean-to city all felt pity for Wilhelm. He had the job no one wanted; the job that you could not succeed in often. On an uneventful day, Wilhelm was relaxing with Claudia. They decided that if they die soon, they would die married. Within the month will be their wedding. Claudia was filled with glee, running up and down the city to spread smiles. Blinded by love, she tripped over a tree jutting into the walkway, breaking her leg. It was an awful break, and she was brought to Wilhelm immediately. The wound became infected, and Wilhelm feared that he could do nothing. On September 28th, 2006, Claudia died. Wilhelm continued to work in tears.
The Combine Attack / Life Currently (2010-)
4 years later, the Combine attacked Earth. While others around him tried to fight, Wilhelm accepted his fate, and surrendered to the Combine. Wilhelm feared the Combine, and loved them at the same time. He remained loyal when he was sent to a small city, where he lived for 3 years. In 2013, Wilhelm was 34, and was shipped to City 45. He learned, happily, that his uncle already lived there and that his younger brother was on his way. The train stopped at a city in between, picking up Jakob and a few other citizens. Wilhelm greeted his brother with a smile, but Jakob was not so happy. He hated the Combine, and decided that he would never live under their rule. Jakob managed to escape the train and run out into the wilderness, just outside of City 45. Wilhelm stayed, and lives now thinking his brother is dead. Clinging to the hope of having one last member of his family that was close to him alive, he arrived to find out otherwise. Rushing to where his uncle was to be, he found a sad man. Not concerned with the man's problem, he quickly asked if he had seen Nathan. The man looked up, with tearful eyes. Nathan had lead a resistance group, and was captured. The Combined killed him mercilessly. Angered at his uncle, Wilhelm took that he did no good and took no immediate sadness to his uncle's death. Wilhelm currently lives in the city, remaining loyal to the Combine.
