Vilhelm is the father of Gerta, Hendrik, and Rudolph, all of whom he sired with a wife of unspecified name who never entered the Demiplane of Dread.[1]

However, the baron's wife fled before the spell was unleashed, leaving her behind on the Prime Material Plane and causing the baron to miss her. He was granted his wish of noble rule, land, and followers, but at the cost of losing his love.[1]po
