Wingleheimer was born in a very small cabin hidden away in forest near The Crown of Elvenesse without a father. He was quite the sheltered child, as his mother, Maria McGinnis, rarely let him leave the house. Wingleheimer was granted but 1 friend for nearly 13 years, the family cow, Jon. This same cow was murdered and cooked in front of Wingleheimer's eyes. His mother educated him in their small cabin before it was burnt down by elves who his mother had angered when he was 15 and they were forced to simply live outside for a year until his mother was stabbed with an arrow when Wingleheimer was 16. Between ages 16 and 23, Wingleheimer simply grew wheat in the forest, worshipped the sun, feared the moon and fought the occaisonal aggressors.
