Willem Brandt

Willem is a PURITAN WITCH with ELEMENTAL powers.

Willem Brandt was the fifth child and third son in a large, renowned Dutch family of witches, where magic was as commonplace as the air they breathed. Raised in a household filled with the hum of spells and rituals, Willem quickly developed a natural talent for woodworking and engineering. He started by repairing carts for the nearby farms, his steady hands and sharp mind eventually leading him to a lucrative career as a wheelwright, crafting fine wheels for wagons and carriages.

In his twenties, seeking new opportunities, Willem left the Netherlands for England, hoping to find fortune and adventure. It was there that he met Moses Ward, a Swedish railroad worker, and the two quickly formed a bond. Together, they shared their magical knowledge and dreams of a life away from the constraints of their old worlds. But their ambitions were met with hostility from the local British covens, who resented their presence and pushed them out.

With nowhere else to turn, Willem and Moses made their way to America, drawn by the whispered promise of a mysterious town called Never. In this new land, they’ve found work and are settling into the diverse, bustling community. Though he’s slowly carving out a life for himself, Willem can’t shake the feeling that Never holds secrets, and he’s beginning to suspect the town’s hidden truths may be far darker than he first imagined.
