Wilhelm-7: Difference between revisions

'''Wilhelm-7''' was an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and [[Hunter]], who journeyed with his [[Fireteam]] into the loot cave in the [[Cosmodrome]] and discovered a hoard of [[Engram|Engrams]] and [[Glimmer]]. However, the greed and loot consumed him and his team, causing them to turn against and kill each other. He left a trail of recorded messages in bottles along their path, recounting the events as they transpired.

Wilhelm and his [[Ghost]], [[Bismarck]], came to the Cosmodrome to hunt for loot, along with the [[Titan (class)|Titan]], [[Pershing]]; and another Hunter, [[Agadir]]. While they were searching in the [[Skywatch]], they chased after a [[Vandal]] who led them into the loot cave beneath the area. Although Wilhelm did not tell his teammates that were really lost, Bismarck was becoming suspicious of him. Despite this, the Exo was confident that there was loot down there, and was still determined to find it.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_1|Bottle 1]]''</ref> After four days of searching, Wilhelm was becoming frustrated that they had only managed to find [[Fallen]] and [[Hive]] down there, as well as their low-tier drops such as [[Mos Ultima II|Mos Ultima]]s and [[Scavenger Suit]]s, instead of [[Rarity#Exotic|Exotics]]. While they thought he was sleeping, he overheard Bismarck telling his teammates that he thought they should turn back.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_2|Bottle 2]]''</ref>

By the end of day six, the fireteam finally stumbled upon a chamber full of Glimmer and high-level Engrams, much to their excitement. They decided they would keep going further to see if they could find any more. Despite Wilhelm thinking that splitting the treasure would be easy enough,<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_3|Bottle 3]]''</ref> he was proven wrong when Pershing ended up shooting Agadir over a [[Pulse Rifle]] he already owned, and almost killed the his Ghost before the Exo intervened, realizing no one wanted to part with any of their spoils.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_4|Bottle 4]]''</ref> By the fourteenth day, the situation had devolved even further after Agadir shot and killed the Titan's Ghost with his [[Golden Gun]] without warning. Pershing tried to summon a Barricade, but could do nothing without his [[Light]] and obliterated by his teammate. Wilhelm was not particularly bothered by his death, however, happier that he could help himself the dead Guardian's gear. Despite Bismarck's protests, the Exo refused to turn back, not wanting to leave any loot for the [[Cryptarch]]s to get their hands on.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_5|Bottle 5]]''</ref>

By day thirty eight of his journey, the Hunter had shot himself in the leg to lure out Bismarck. When he appeared to see what was going on, Wilhelm shot and killed his partner right away. However, he did not think to let the Ghost heal his bullet wound beforehand, but continued on regardless.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_9|Bottle 9]]''</ref> After two more days of travelling, the mad Exo had lost a lot of blood, but he was too far gone to stop, hungry for more loot. Wilhelm's greed and madness kept him going, despite losing track of how long he had been down their, and the fact the his leg wound had him in agony.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_10|Bottle 10]]''</ref> Although this did not concern him, as he had stumbled upon a massive treasure hoard inside the wreckage of an old [[Colony ship]], and its riches were his to claim.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_11|Bottle 11]]''</ref> This victory would be short-lived, however, as a crew of greedy Fallen pirates, led by [[Captain Avarokk, the Covetous]], had also managed to find him and the hoard. In his final moments, Wilhelm screamed out at them not to take his loot, but was finished off by the scavengers.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Grasp of Avarice]]: [[Grasp of Avarice#Bottle_12|Bottle 12]]''</ref> The Exo's corpse was buried with his loot in a pod at the center of the ship.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[30th Anniversary Pack]] - [[Dungeon]]: [[Grasp of Avarice]]''</ref>
