250An eccentric goat who is obsessed with mysticism. He speaks in cryptic, disjointed sentences, which seem to be related to some strange ritual. And he called you the Key to the Coming, as if you will play an important role in it. Is he simply delusional, or could there really be some supernatural force at work?
Wilbur's home is a southern town called Dunwell. It has a very long history, but its remote location means very few outsiders ever visit. Wilbur's family is very well-known in the town. His grandfather and father were prominent scholars, and their estate has amassed a vast collection of rare antiques and books.
As a young man, Wilbur lived up to his family's successful heritage, and after earning a double doctorate in theology and linguistics at a prestigious university, he returned home to take over the estate. It was then that he immersed himself in the family's underground library. He marveled at the overwhelming abundance of knowledge, but what fascinated him the most was the Ancient Goatish version of the <em>Necronomicon</em> that had been passed down through his family for generations.
From the moment he opened the book, it was as if a seed has been planted in his head. As he read more, the seed began to take root and sprout. Decades later, his mind had been completely taken over by the book, and it gave him a glimpse of what he calls "the true meaning of the universe". "It needs a sacrifice," Wilbur told you. "The messenger of the stars has communicated its will to me, and I must obey." You have no idea if he is delusional or if something really is giving him orders. In either case, he did comply.
He distributed flyers in the surrounding cities, ostensibly to hire a private nurse, and the high pay on offer soon attracted many young women. But Wilbur's last interview requirement was most unusual: he would only hire virgins, citing family tradition. However, the perverse requirement did not scare off all of the applicants, and there were still a number of women who were willing to work at the estate.
Several years later, the police received a report and went to check the basement at the estate. When they opened the door, they were shocked at what they saw. Naked girls were dancing around a stone pillar with bizarre carvings as if they were possessed. Although covered in blood and bruises, they all had euphoric smiles on their faces.
Charged with assault and false imprisonment, Wilbur could have escaped justice on the grounds of insanity. But incomprehensibly, he showed surprisingly normal behavior during the psychiatric assessment, which ensured that his new home would be this prison instead of a psychiatric hospital. Why would he do that? Could it all be part of his preparations for the ritual, as he claims?
