nce upon a time in a far-away constitutional monarchy, lived three triplet brothers from the Noble House of Buffalkill. Their names were Willhelm, Xerxes, and a bastard named Johan. Willhelm was the elder of the three, Xerxes was the cadet, and Johan the middle. The Brothers Buffalkill were known throughout the West Hills and were never seen apart. Until, that is, one day when their mother said that she had a terrible secret to tell them. Johan, the middle triplet, was a bastard. Willhelm and Xerxes immediately drew their swords and tried to strike the interloper Johan down. But Johan was a deft swordsman, and he bettered his brothers. He disarmed them handily, but the baseborn brother could not bring himself to deliver the death blow. He ran off and swore never to return. Lady Buffalkill scolded the two highborn brothers for allowing the bastard to get away. She told them that if Johan should ever return, they must kill him to protect her honour.
Origin
he two main branches of House Buffalkill are the Dwilight Buffalkills and the Atamara Buffalkills. Willhelm is patriarch of the Dwilight Buffalkills and the most ſenior member of the family. Xerxes is the patriarch of the cadet branch of the family on Atamara.
Willhelm
illhelm began his career as a Knight in Aspar, a region in the Duchy of the Berserk Bear, in the Realm of Asylon. He was appointed as Earl of Aspar by Duke Græth Geg following the fabled death of Lady Bucklefee Dundrave in battle. He is a member of the Cult of Bloodmoon. Earl Willhelm founded the Above The Fold newspaper as a way to create a common lore for the peoples of the various regions in Aspar and beyond.
illhelm has commanded a number of units, including a Harem of female bodyguards. He later raised an infantry of approximately 30 men styled the Devil's Brigade and fought on the side of Asylon against the forces of ſanguis Astroism. The Evil Theocrats were defeated, but it was a Pyrric victory. All but two of the Devil's Brigade ſoldiers were killed and Willhelm was ſeriously wounded at a battle in ſhuberstone. Also his longtime friend and lord, Lady Bucklefee Dundrave was ſtruck down, leaving the ſecond largest region in Asylon without a lord. Willhelm agreed to take up the lordship of Aspar, lest the region be plunged into anarchy and destabilize the realm, perhaps the continent. Willhelm filled the ranks of the Devil's Brigade with fresh recruits from the recruitment centre in Via before embarking on an ill-fated mission in the Traitor Realm of Phantaria. Whilst conducting routine land ſurveys in Phantaria, Earl Willhelm received word that monsters had invaded Aspar. Willhelm led his men acroß Vaßar to the edge of the Gonophor woodlands, which was, at that time, under the dominion of the Zuma Coalition and a treacherous wasteland inhabited by hordes of monsters and undead. Ignoring the remonstrations of his unit captain, Earl Willhelm ordered the Devil's Brigade to croß Gonophor into Aspar. The men, who were mostly young and untested, were promptly dismembered, eaten, ſhat out, and eaten again by monsters, however Willhelm ſomehow escaped without injury and probably without ever drawing his ſword. Following that humiliating defeat, Willhelm recruited a replacement unit of infantry ſtyled the Black Devils.
