Wigbert's childhood is unknown, but as a young orphan boy, Wigbert was found and then put to work for The Quill.. Like The Quill's former work, Wigbert was used as one of many children, who gathered knowledge by either stealing or spying all around Wincestre. In addition, Wigbert worked closely with Aelwyn, another orphan girl. However, Wigbert seems to be mute, as he states nothing when he's in a conversation.<ref name="PQ">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Plucking the Quill]]</ref>

Looking for The Quill, [[Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] started her investigation by asking The Quill's workers: the lonesome children of Wincestre. When she arrived and started to question some children, Eivor caught sight of two children setting a haystack aflame. These two children were then chased by Anglo-Saxon [[soldiers]] and Eivor made sure to follow one of the children to find out what they know about The Quill. Eivor caught up with the child, who happened to be Aelwyn. After a small chat with Aelwyn, Eivor was then met by her partner, Wigbert. Wigbert was then shocked to see the Dane in front of him and took a step back. Before any more questions, two of The Quill's thugs saw and demanded from Aelwyn to give back what she took. Dealing with the thugs, Eivor was then told by Aelwyn that the thugs were from The Quill and that both children survived The Quill's clutches. Wondering where to find The Quill, Eivor asked the children once again for their help. Aelwyn then told Wigbert to give the item he stole from the previous thugs. The item was a key to the underground sewers and this, unintentionally, gave the location and final [[Order of the Ancients clues|clue]] to the true identity of The Quill, Hilda. Before leaving, Eivor was wished good luck by Aelwyn.<ref name="PQ" />
In 877, Wigbert and Aelwyn were caught setting a haystack aflame and were chased by Anglo-Saxon [[soldier]]s, as well as [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]], who sought to question them about The Quill. After Eivor found Aelwyn, Wigbert arrived and was shocked to see the [[Vikings|Viking]] in front of him, taking a step back. Moments later, two thugs working for The Quill arrived to demand an item the children had stolen; Eivor dealt with them and, in gratitude, Wigbert and Aelwyn gave her a key to the city's sewers, which served as The Quill's hideout.<ref name="PQ" />


Wigbert was no longer seen after the last meeting. However, despite appearances, Wigbert and Aelwyn tricked and betrayed Eivor to The Quill beforehand. The key was a ruse to let Eivor come and then later be ambushed by Hilda and her guards. However, the plan was a failure as Eivor killed Hilda's forces and then assassinated Hilda herself. Thus, without Hilda, Wigbert, along with Aelwyn and the other children, were without their master, The Quill.
After Eivor assassinated The Quill, Wigbert decided he wanted to do something good in life and joined the church's teachings at the [[Wincestre Seminary]]. At some point, he encountered Eivor again and told her that Aelwyn had gone into hiding. He also explained that his sister had forced him to work for The Quill in the first place, and that he refused to be drawn into that type of life again, wishing to learn things instead.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[Floating conversations]]</ref>

Biography[edit | edit source]

Wigbert's childhood is unknown aside from the fact he was orphaned at a young age. When his sister Aelwyn began working for The Quill, she convinced Wigbert to join her. Together, the siblings gathered knowledge on The Quill's behalf by either stealing or spying all around Wincestre.[1]

In 877, Wigbert and Aelwyn were caught setting a haystack aflame and were chased by Anglo-Saxon soldiers, as well as Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan, who sought to question them about The Quill. After Eivor found Aelwyn, Wigbert arrived and was shocked to see the Viking in front of him, taking a step back. Moments later, two thugs working for The Quill arrived to demand an item the children had stolen; Eivor dealt with them and, in gratitude, Wigbert and Aelwyn gave her a key to the city's sewers, which served as The Quill's hideout.[1]

After Eivor assassinated The Quill, Wigbert decided he wanted to do something good in life and joined the church's teachings at the Wincestre Seminary. At some point, he encountered Eivor again and told her that Aelwyn had gone into hiding. He also explained that his sister had forced him to work for The Quill in the first place, and that he refused to be drawn into that type of life again, wishing to learn things instead.[2]
