Born a raven in Hull's Queens Gardens park, he lived untill his second summer
as a raven. His missing real parents showed up shortly after his First Change
and clued him up on who he is and who he will be. He took the name "Wyldcard" as
it was a word he had heard humans use and liked.
Having spent his first two years based out of Hull, he decided to remain there
for the time being. Drawn into adventures with both other Bete, most notably the
Corax of York and London and Fianna Garou, he swiftly learned that he was a
"weirdness magnet". In the two years he remained in the country full time, he
faced many different spirits, Vampires, and on one foray into York with only one
person's companionship, what looked to be a demon. During one period of this
time he was involved romantically with Katherine Argent, but scant weeks before
the Demon incident she vanished after a disagreement. Shortly after, he made
Neocornix. Those years did change him, and he believed that the best place to go
to for answers for the multitude of questions he had would be New York City.
In New York he seemed only to attract more attention from the Shadow World.
Occasionally assisting the Sept of the Green got him into more trouble that he
asked for or wanted, and the growing number of Leeches in the area made him less
and less comfortable. Two years after arriving, he decided to leave. Before he
could go, a Volucris in the area granted him Helios' Mark, with severe warnings
about the possible consequences. Paying them little heed at the time, he set off
for Kansas City.
Barely weeks after arriving in Kansas City, Wyld was drawn to an old cemetery,
where a ghost informed him of what it had seen. Apparently a pharmaceuticals
firm was somehow binding bad spirits that the ghost referred to as 'like
Spectres' into medication. Foolishly, he tried to stop them on his own. He was
lucky enough to do so, and even luckier to survive, but survive he did.
Resolving not to play such dangerous odds on his own, he returned to the ghost and
demanded is payment: Information about the Restless Dead. He managed to survive
several months just watching the city, before travelling to London on a hunch.
In London, a group of leeches had been raging unchecked through the city.
Offering his services as a child of Helios to a pack of Glass Walkers in the
city, they did not believe his tales. Only once he had provided proof of their
existence by tricking one into attempting to feed on one of the Walker's Kinfolk
did they believe him, and tear through the leeches. Remaining in the city, he
learned much about the ins and outs of city life, and investigations of his into
a society called the Arcanum brought them to the attention of the city's Corax
population. For this, and other information he had imparted, he was awarded the
rank of Ales.
Returning to Kansas City, and acting as one of the highest ranking Corax in the
area, he spent a lot of time watching the Sept of the Silver Moon. During that
time, he became known as a watcher, and a good point of contact for other Corax.
His mental state being a roller-coaster at times, he became known for mild manic
depression and an armour piercing wit, as well as an ability to defuse tense
situations if it was needed. Unfortunately, when one of the Corax he considered
to be 'under his care' lost the sun, he sank into a deeper depression. Though
some of the Garou he considered allies attempted to bring him out of himself, he
still took on self-destructive missions in the city, taking needless risks just
for the hell of it. Dragged form this state by the constant needling of other
Corax, he finally relented. In order to avoid the same happening again, the
kinfolk shaman Saskia Ivierska adopted him as a brother in order that she could
keep tabs on him.
Recovering from his mood swings for a while, he settled into a semi-routine life
of watching the Caern and the city for whatever he could see. For several months
this was enough, but when he heard a call from (he thought) an Avatar of Raven,
he had to follow if only to see why he was being called. Unfortunately, it wasn't
Raven that had called him. A corrupted Raven-spirit had fallen into service of
the Nameless Angel and was trying to corrupt him to the side of Despair. Whilst
it almost succeeded, a rescue mission lead by several of the city's Corax managed
to find him in time and drag him from it's clutches. The spirit, however,
remains still at large.
Deciding once and for all to do something about his mental state, Wyld set off
on an arduous quest to the Aetherial Realm, there to converse with Helios and
try to purge his mind of the depression. It took time and serious persistence to
complete the quest, but in the end he was healed. Resting back in Kansas, where
he had set up a nest, all was well. For a time. Unfortunately, the Garou in the
area were becoming less and less grateful of the information that the Corax
brought them, seeing it as the Corax' job to tell everything that they knew. So,
he left. Turning his back on the Caern and the other Corax, he flew to watch the
city. Something inside his mind stopped him leaving totally, instead acting as a
voice of wisdom and a ranking member of the Breed when such things were needed.
Another reason he could not leave is that the bane-demon that he had faced in
York resurfaced. With the help of his adopted sister, the Bane was beaten from
his back. This finally tipped the scale for him, and he asked to be recognised
by all Corax as Volucris. His days since then have been spent helping those that
seek him, and watching parts of the city. He has recently taken to breaking a
ring trying to smuggle dangerous occult items back to England, acquiring quite a
stash of items that he is looking for a way to dispose of.
