Wyllhaume Usher (born 1682, 56 AN years old), Amokolian warlord active in the Governorate of Absentien. Wyllhaume, fittingly enough, was born in Corrigible during the fleeting rule of Francia over West Amokolia. Along with so many of his generation he experienced a chaotic childhood, growing up in the aftermath of the Amokolian Revolution and a forcible annexation by neighbouring Elwynn. The circumstances of his early life were obscured by the collapse in the established social order occasioned by the Scouring, but ultimately he would become a partisan of Free Elwynn, following in the footsteps of his father who had joined the resistance against the Benacian Union upon the termination of the Second Elwynnese Civil War. As a native, and the speaker of a prohibited language, Wyllhaume was forbidden from returning to the bailiwick of his birth, and any attempt at submission to the authorities would have resulted either in his execution at the hands of the Magisters-Carnifex or a life term of servitude in the Benacian Labour Reserve, under conditions that would have amounted to little more than a sentence of death by increments. With the extinction of the last bastions of Elwynnese resistance in Cimmeria and Raikoth, Wyllhaume, was left with no recourse except to retreat into the interior of Absentia, where the authority of the Governorate of Absentien had only shallowly taken root, and thereafter rely upon the pillaging and banditry which had previously been excused as requisitioning for the cause of the liberation struggle. It would however be his career of base criminality that would however see Wyllhaume begin to enjoy his first successes and gather up the beginning of his following of fellow marauders.
