Born out of an affair with the daughter of a no-name Baron in the countryside, Wilhelm Faust was the bastard son of Viscount Gerald Faust from the Capital of Cynark, and also a stain on the Faust family name.
His existence was proof of Viscount Gerald's weakness, his inability to control himself nor did he take any responsibility for his son until the whole Capital knew of the drama.
It was the reason after a few years had gone by, Wilhelm had become so hated in his family.
He was ridiculed by the adults, bullied by his cousins, and ignored by his very own father. Wilhelm Faust had come to face with his reality very early on. "They don't want me here." There was a chance that he would have died if not for his maternal grandfather exposing the fact of his existence to the public early on.
