Quackity: Quackity was the president of El Rapids. He was also the former Secretary of State and Vice President of L'Manberg under the Tubbo Administration, a recruit of Pogtopia, the former vice president of Manberg, and a former citizen of the Dream SMP. He is currently the president and founder of Las Nevadas. Quackity is part duck. He is like a normal person but with small duck wings and a smaller pair on his head, he as slightly tan skin, black eyes (with his left one being white since it’s blind), and almost always wears a beanie. He has shoulder length black hair in sort of a mullet.

Quackity has been seen in a variety of outfits outside of his classic appearance. During his days as a politician during the elections and while he was Vice President of Manberg, he usually wore a dark gray suit with a blue tie and sunglasses. In his Las Nevadas arc, he switches to a white shirt (which may have bloodstains), gray trousers held up by gray suspenders, and a red tie. In the case of the latter, Fundy has stated that there are about 17 of the same suits in his closet. After the execution, Quackity is seen with a scar on his left eye from his duel with Technoblade, starting out as pinkish during its earlier appearances, then gradually fading but still visible during his Las Nevadas arc. Quackity fluctuates between chaotic and lawful, almost on a whim, but his greatest desire is to have a sense of belonging.[13]

During his time running for President in the election, he showed off more of a chaotic, rowdy side, which continued until the installment of the Jschlatt Administration. He also stated during this time period that he believed everyone had some good in themselves and was willing to work for a better future for everyone.[14] As time progressed, Quackity realized that Jschlatt had no intentions of giving him any respect or equal power, which was his true desire. He defected to Pogtopia, growing a bit less chaotic and more responsible for his actions. It is also implied that his experiences in Manberg caused him to start becoming disillusioned with the ideal of words over weapons, as his repeated negotiations with Schlatt didn't gain him any respect.

Before the final war in the events of the Manberg Rebellion, Quackity and Tubbo spoke candidly about their fears and future, eventually both agreeing to fight the war to the end despite their worries of being outnumbered. After the war, Quackity joined the New L'Manberg as Secretary of State, where he garnered a more important role as a leader while still displaying much of his chaotic nature. During Schlatt's funeral, he cussed out the former leader while pissing on a photo of him.

During the events of the Exile Conflict and the Dethroning Fallout, Quackity displayed a level head that hasn't often been seen on his character. While discussing Tommy's griefing of George's house with Tubbo, he wasn't as lenient as he might've been in the past, along with managing to go toe-to-toe arguing with Dream following George's dethroning.

During the Vengeance Era, Quackity showed himself to care about taking down those who hold the highest authority and amount of power. His go-to advice from at least that time period and onward was to not trust anyone (fully), which was something he suggested to Tommy, Tubbo, and eventually Slimecicle during the Las Nevadas era.

He holds a rather charismatic trait because of the calm, collected composure he holds in arguments, and is easily able to charm others because of his chaotic personality. He is also persistent and willing to work hard to achieve his goals, as shown by his determination in persuading Sam to let him visit Pandora's Vault and his willingness to return every day to gain information about the revival book.

As the President of Las Nevadas, Quackity "stopped seeing the good in people" and believes it to be a good thing (see Purpled's stream), a sharp contrast to what he believed during the L'Manberg elections. He recruited the members for the faction on the basis that he related to them - Foolish for having held optimistic and pacifistic views during at least some point in time, Purpled for wanting to leave behind a legacy, and Fundy for not wanting to be alone and left behind by others. There are some implications that most of these traits are shaped by the traumas he had previously endured, and that he was psychologically projecting on them heavily at the time. Nevertheless, despite the morally dark method of recruitment, Quackity treats the members of Las Nevadas well, and is respectful of their opinions. It's also revealed that Quackity has some form of desire to leave behind a legacy. Quackity demonstrates a recurring insecurity regarding his physical appearance. Later on, it takes on a more serious note as it relates more to his traumatic experiences, from one of the cornerstones of Schlatt's mocking (over his backside) to eventually his facial scar from his duel with Techno.

Prior to the Manberg-Pogtopia War, he was often unwilling to act when he knows there is an oppressive power structure or to call out people who hurt him. He would grit his teeth and bear abusive actions, so long as people he knew are safe. At most, he mainly engaged in acts of passive resistance, like freeing Niki from imprisonment in secret. He usually only became proactive when it reached an ultimate boiling point, most prominently seen with Schlatt and his destruction of the White House.

After the war, Quackity has become more willing to be cruel or physically violent if it aligns with his personal sense of justice, from organizing Technoblade's execution to torturing Dream in prison for knowledge of the revive-book. This is heavily entwined with a vengeful streak, as in those two instances, part of the driving force behind them were revenge for either himself or those that he cares about - the former for blowing up Manberg during the war and more personally, traumatizing him during Minecraft Mondays[18][19], and the latter for taking Tommy's third canon life. However, he appears to have started overcoming his vengefulness after taking Slime's advice in the fourth Las Nevadas stream.

Moreover, despite claiming that Las Nevadas had no room for emotions, Quackity has a very impulsive streak and acts on his emotional instincts more often than logic. He has once stated to Foolish that he goes to sleep and often doesn't have a plan on what he'll do the next day, as he thinks of overthinking as a waste of energy.[20]

In his Las Nevadas arc, Quackity shows a manipulative streak when it comes to recruiting people for his nation, going hand in hand with his charisma. He is also incredibly prone to self-projection during the same endeavors. However, it is also heavily implied that he believes no one would willingly stay by his side unless he holds something over them or tricks them into needing to stay. This indicates that this manipulative streak may be rooted in multiple other insecurities.

Quackity has also shown a desire for power and control ever since the Manberg vs Pogtopia War, causing him to be willing to sacrifice morality and justice in exchange for vengeance and control. This is most likely rooted in his experiences in the Jschlatt Administration, due to his own lack of power and control over the country to make it better during that time period.

To sum up, many of Quackity's character flaws, in some way, correlate to his traumatic experiences in one way or another. One of the known exceptions to this is his petty streak, often doing minor things to annoy or upset people he dislikes, or doing little shows of wealth and character to humiliate someone else.

Wilbur has stated that Quackity's D&D alignment is neutral good.

Even before the establishment of Las Nevadas, Quackity's mental health had been questionable at best. Before he joined the SMP, he allegedly had PTSD from his encounters with Technoblade during Minecraft Mondays.[22] This may have contributed to his later mental health issues.

It is also implied that he started to agree with Wilbur's worldview that one had to be willing to commit acts of violence to gain power in order to protect the interests of oneself and their loved ones after the Schlatt administration, when he was deprived of equal power due to the country being a totalitarian state with all power centralized on the president and the president alone, and to at least some extent, the relationship that he was in during that time period. This includes starting to develop a desire for power and control, and being willing to commit morally dark actions in order to try to accumulate power, most notably seen with his attempt to execute Technoblade with the Butcher Army.

While visiting Tommy during his second exile, Quackity admitted to possibly having a history with depression.[23] It is unknown whether this is connected to his other experiences as listed above or a separate, unrelated incident(s).

During Las Nevadas arc

During the development of Las Nevadas, Quackity's mental health takes a steep nosedive as he fully embraces Wilbur's corrupted mentality, being willing to torture Dream for the knowledge of the book on revival and take other morally wrong actions to achieve his goals.

It is heavily implied that Quackity eventually develops an extremely negative view of himself during this time. While recruiting Foolish to join Las Nevadas, he calls out Foolish and his desire for peace and pacifism over war a form of wasted potential, but considering that Quackity himself held these views in the past, it is possible that he was psychologically projecting onto him to at least some extent.

He also appears to have some form of abandonment issue, based on how he rationalized to himself that Karl and Sapnap would leave to form Kinoko Kingdom. There have been implications that this can be traced back to his relationship trauma. His recruitment of Purpled and Fundy based on desires to be remembered/acknowledged and not to be left behind by others, respectively, also heavily relate back to his own experiences of being pushed aside, being seen as worthless, and being 'abandoned' by his loved ones.

In the fourth Las Nevadas stream, Slime noted on Quackity's flawed, trauma-rooted beliefs around politics, revenge, and empathy/attachment and challenged them, which in turn caused Quackity to reflect on them. In the weeks after Slime's canon death, it's implied that Quackity had some further reflection and has started to recognize his own fall into paranoia and advised Tommy against going down that path after Dream escaped from prison, which implies he might be starting to recover and heal.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

As stated above, Quackity claimed he had PTSD as of Season 1. Although whether this claim is canonical is not confirmed, due to the more light-hearted/non-serious nature of the season, in later seasons, Quackity's experiences culminated in him showing signs and symptoms of the disorder or ones related to it, including abandonment issues, various insecurities, negative thoughts on the world, distancing himself from others (and encouraging others to do the same), hypervigilance, reckless and aggressive behavior, etc. He also became more prone to emotional outbursts and lashing out after the Manberg vs Pogtopia War, and appears to have multiple triggers, including:

Technoblade (initially)[22][24] Being called "sugar pumpkin" [25][26] or "Flatty Patty"[27][28][29][30] (referring to his toxic/abusive relationship with Schlatt)

Quackity also apparently participated in a tournament called Minecraft Monday in his past, a tournament in which Technoblade was also present. Quackity was killed by Technoblade many times during multiple weeks of the tournament.[32][33] These encounters allegedly caused Quackity to have "severe PTSD" which fueled his hatred of Technoblade in the Dream SMP.[22]

Before officially joining the server, Quackity was part of a "drug cartel" with Tommy, Tubbo and Jack Manifold Presidential campaign

Main article: SWAG2020 vs POG2020 Election During the SWAG2020 vs POG2020 Election, Quackity formed SWAG2020 with GeorgeNotFound as his VP, to rival POG2020.

Quackity and Wilbur spoke to each other, and they eventually started to talk about power. Wilbur stated that everything was about power, and if Quackity wanted to change, he would need it. Wilbur also said that Quackity needed to be willing to commit terrible acts of violence such as torture for power. (Note: This event remained unknown until Las Nevadas: Episode 2 on April 12, 2021.)

However, during the final rally, George was notably absent, leading Quackity to form coalitions in order to give his party a running chance at winning. Initially, he entertained the idea of working with POG2020, but after coming to the conclusion they were just using him for power, since the potential SWOG coalition was stated to be conditional, he instead formed a coalition with the newly formed Schlatt2020, promising to merge their votes should either of them lose. Due to his plan with Schlatt, he won the election, though Schlatt demoted him from co-President to Vice President.

Manberg Rebellion Arc

Manberg Rebellion

Main article: Manberg Rebellion Throughout Quackity's whole career as Vice President of Manberg, he kept hinting at his rising tensions in the cabinet, slowly growing tired of being ignored. In addition, Quackity still thought that he deserved equal power with Schlatt, suggesting that there was some internal conflict.

The first show of this was in an argument with Nihachu, who led Quackity in private to a place where they could talk. She revealed to him that she was planning on overthrowing Schlatt, but needed his help. Quackity seemed swayed by her points, as she brought up many occasions where Schlatt had seemed tyrannical and that he wasn't giving Quackity anything. However, Niki accidentally killed him, bringing their meeting to Schlatt's attention, who then had her arrested. Upon seeing Niki in her cage, Quackity realized that she didn't deserve to be in there and broke her out of prison, with Eret giving him an alibi.

The internal conflict grew after the Manberg Festival. Quackity disapproved of Schlatt's public execution of Tubbo and his other cases of bloodshed during the event, and even tried to persuade Schlatt that having Tubbo trapped and imprisoned was sufficient. However, Schlatt brushed off his suggestion, claiming that imprisonment was "not enough". By the end of the Festival, Quackity had started to become disillusioned with Schlatt's rule, but refused to leave because he felt an emotional attachment to the country. When Schlatt shared his new policy, with one of the projects including the dismantling of the White House, Quackity rallied against the destruction of it, since he felt a strong emotional connection with the building, but Schlatt stated that he would press forward with the plan later on. Quackity then stated that he wouldn't leave the country unless Schlatt destroyed the White House.

The day after the Manberg Festival, Schlatt began tearing down the White House in front of him, to Quackity's protests. This eventually dissolved into an argument where Quackity called Schlatt out on not giving him equal power and refusing to acknowledge him, while Schlatt repeatedly insulted and belittled Quackity in return. This ultimately ended with Quackity resigning from his position as Vice President and assassinating Schlatt after being taunted by him. He ran into the forest, where Tommy found him after having secretly overheard their conversation and allowed him to join the ranks of Pogtopia. Quackity went along with him and Wilbur Soot to the Button Room, where they tried to convince Wilbur not to blow Manberg up and barely managed to prevent the disaster. Together, they created a new primary plan to take the country back, revolving around Quackity going back to Schlatt and arranging a meeting with him, i.e. "Plan Ass", with Wilbur's TNT plot as a Plan B ("Plan Bomb").[36]

Quackity later attended Niki's birthday party and stayed for the aftermath with Niki, Karl, and Wilbur, where Wilbur threatened to destroy Manberg once again. The three managed to convince him to delay the plot, but Quackity was tasked to carry out Plan Ass by November 6 in an ultimatum.[37]

On November 6, 2020, Quackity met with Schlatt at the podium. Quackity pulled out his "builders contract", which would permit building of the Manberg Hotel while secretly transferring all power from Schlatt to Quackity. However, Schlatt changed the topic of the contract to the TNT he had found under Manberg and accused Quackity for the TNT, stating that Quackity hated Manberg and wanted to take Schlatt down with Manberg. Schlatt wounded him, but Wilbur obtained an arrow of invisibility from Ponk that would allow Quackity to escape undetected. Tommy and Quackity met up in the forest, but Wilbur was nowhere to be seen.

Deep in the forest, Schlatt caught up with Quackity and Tommy. Schlatt coughed and laughed as he said that the TNT was no longer under Manberg, but under Pogtopia. In horror, Quackity and Tommy fled to Pogtopia, only to find that it was covered in buttons by Fundy. Wilbur arrived minutes after, to state that he pressed the button but no TNT was ignited. Wilbur was ecstatic about the buttons in Pogtopia, pressing each one to scare Quackity and Tommy. The Pogtopians were then approached by Fundy, who arrived from the underground Prime Path. Quackity was wary of Fundy, as he thought that Fundy was an expert military strategist and much more dangerous than Schlatt. However, Fundy was also an inside spy in Manberg, just like Tubbo. Quackity listened with interest as Wilbur read Schlatt's weaknesses out loud from a spy's diary, now knowing that Schlatt was alone, powerless, and on the brink of death.

Manberg vs. Pogtopia War

Main article: Manberg vs Pogtopia War Quackity was aware of the upcoming war so he made preparations. However, he constantly died and lost the netherite armor he gained. Sam attempted to help him by providing resources to mine more netherite, but Quackity also lost them. On the day of the war, Quackity discussed with Tubbo their thoughts on who the traitor could be, forming a close relationship. He also obtained a full set of diamond armor, and was later able to get a full set of enchanted netherite from Technoblade's vault. Quackity fought alongside the Pogtopians, pushing their way into the heart of Manberg. During Schlatt's final moments, Quackity yelled at Schlatt that he had pushed Manberg too far, and that Manberg could've been a great nation if Schlatt wasn't a bad leader. Schlatt's last words were "flatty patty," which triggered Quackity.

Quackity attended Tubbo's presidential speech on how L'Manberg would be reformed and put back on the map. He also saw Technoblade mortally wound Tubbo, which he disapproved of. He sided with the L'Manbergians to fight off against Dream SMP, Technoblade, and the Badlands. After the chaos, Quackity and the L'Manbergian supporters met up at the L'Mantree, where Tommy gave an emotional speech about how L'Manberg would never be defeated unless Dream somehow managed to split them apart. They then met up near the Manberg Hotel to discuss the cabinet, where Quackity was trusted with Secretary of State of L'Manberg. With the new position, Quackity dubbed himself as "Sexy-tary of State."

Retribution Arc

Reconstruction

Quackity began to rebuild L'Manberg alongside Fundy, Tubbo, Sapnap, and Karl. Quackity finished his house on the end of Day 1 of reconstruction, building his house in the Executive Residential District alongside his fellow members.

Craving power

See also: Jschlatt's funeral During Schlatt's funeral, Quackity dressed up as Schlatt, then proceeded to eat Schlatt's heart and sing an insulting song about him burning in Hell. After the funeral, he claimed to want to resurrect Schlatt and use him as a political puppet in order to gain absolute power in L'Manberg. He had Punz, BadBoyHalo, and Awesamdude pledge blind loyalty to him so that he could revive Schlatt. A new law in L'Manberg banning "Satanic rituals" was then passed in response to this. This entire episode is most likely non-canonical, as it was never brought up again.

Exile Conflict

Main article: Exile Conflict Quackity was summoned by Tubbo for an important meeting that took place on November 30, 2020. Quackity met up with the rest of the cabinet besides Karl, and there, he learned that L'Manberg had been encased within walls once more, much to his disgust. Quackity was then given the role of Acting Vice President for two weeks until Tommy could behave. He held a strong position against the banishment of Tommy and retaliation against Dream.

Mexican L'Manberg

Main article: El Rapids Quackity, George, Sapnap, and Punz built a dirt platform in the sky, and Quackity later named it a nation, Mexican L'Manberg. Quackity established the nation's government with him as president and George as Vice President. Quackity later legitimized the nation by speaking to Tubbo and convincing him to support the nation, even making Tubbo the Secretary of State.

George's dethronement

Main article: Dethronement Fallout Since Quackity and George were close friends, Quackity was heavily against Dream usurping George's power as king. As a result, he, along with George and Sapnap, plotted to develop Mexican L'Manberg and attack Dream to restore George's power. Quackity was killed by Dream during the meeting as a warning shot, and Dream told him to stay out of the conflict. However, Quackity argued his position, which was that Dream instigated every conflict on the server. Mexican L'Manberg political protest

Main article: El Rapids § Mexican L'Manberg vs Dream SMP Following the events of George's Dethronement, Quackity formed a plan to have Mexican L'Manberg officially recognized. Quackity created the political protest plot, where they would frame Eret for taking a canon life of Karl Jacobs. Throughout the conflict, Quackity remained calm, hoping to gain the upper hand and negotiate independence. Upon being called a terrorist, he countered by stating that it was a political move. In the end, Quackity managed to negotiate the recognition of Mexican L'Manberg, but in return, the nation would have to be renamed. The name "El Rapids" was adopted, as Quackity was known for sharing the expression, "I'm just chillin' in Cedar Rapids."

L'Manberg retribution

Main articles: Retribution Arc and Quackity vs Technoblade Duel Quackity strongly supported the idea of getting revenge and killing Technoblade by forming the Butcher Army. As vice-president of L'Manberg and president of El Rapids, he played a strong role in recruiting Dream's past allies and creating anti-Technoblade propaganda.

Quackity lead the army during Technoblade's execution, first interrogating Ph1LzA then leading the army to Technoblade's Cabin. When a fight broke out between the Butcher Army and Technoblade, Quackity got Technoblade to stop by threatening the life of Carl, his prized horse. After Technoblade escaped execution, Quackity followed him. Upon encountering the escapee in the Final Control Room, he explained his determination to build something great and his determination to kill Technoblade. There, the two fought, only for Quackity to die to Technoblade, losing a canon life.

Following his respawn, Quackity expressed his frustration at Dream for aiding Technoblade in his escape. He explained Dream's involvement in the matters, convincing the Butcher Army to target Dream first. After forming the plan to kill Dream with a festival, Quackity was given the honor of being the one to execute Dream.

Leaving L'Manberg

Main articles: Green Festival and Doomsday War However, since the Green Festival ended in Dream not being executed and Ranboo being outed as a traitor, Quackity told Tubbo he wanted to have Ranboo executed. Tubbo got angry at this, shouting at Quackity that it was very reminiscent of his own death at the Manberg Festival, and that he wouldn't have Ranboo executed. Following this, on the day of the Doomsday War, Quackity decided to leave L'Manberg behind, taking his skeleton horse Ossium and riding away to the exploded remains of the house Tubbo and Tommy had built long ago, later dubbed Connor's vacation home.

He discovered Ranboo's Memory Book in his inventory and read through it, and it made him decide to help fight against Dream, despite knowing they weren't going to win. He returned to L'Manberg and was attacked by Technoblade's Hound Army.

After L'Manberg was destroyed, Quackity stood on the obsidian structure built above the crater by Dream and sang the National Anthem with Ghostbur, Tommy and Tubbo one last time.

Empowerment Arc

The Egg

Main article: The Egg When BadBoyHalo showed Quackity the Egg, he seemed apprehensive towards them but interested in the promise of the Egg helping him get power. He then seemed taken in by the Egg's influence until Karl messaged in chat, telling him to come to meet up with him far away from the Egg in an attempt to pull Quackity away from the Egg. Quackity snapped out of the influence and told Bad that he wanted nothing to do with the Egg, going further to explain to him that he didn't want the Egg's help to gain power, and that Bad was being a problem by endangering the whole server. He ended their confrontation by saying that he would do his best to get in the way of Bad's plan to have everyone under the Egg's control.

Tommy's death and revival

Quackity was working on a secret build when he discovered Jack Manifold wandering nearby. Jack seemed to be sad, but Quackity ignored this and led Jack back to L'Canyon so he wouldn't find his build. Quackity started talking about how Jack could now take over the hotel because Tommy was in jail. Jack continuously tried to tell him about Tommy's death, but Quackity wouldn't listen. Eventually, Jack told him that Tommy had died a few hours earlier. Quackity was shocked, and didn't know how to react. He was horrified that Dream had killed Tommy.

Quackity met with Sam at an island, and saw him farming. He found that Sam had built a shrine for Tommy to honor him, and had turtles. Quackity assured Sam that it wasn't his fault that Tommy had died after a long argument, and that they should kill Dream. Sam then went to a room under the island, and put on his warden gear. They headed to the prison, and when reaching it Sam realized that he couldn't kill him. Quackity apologized for hyping it up so much, and left. (Note: This event remained unknown until Las Nevadas: Episode 3 on April 12, 2021.)

When Quackity was walking around the SMP, he came across Tommy. At which he started lashing out at him, saying that Tommy wasn't real and it was a sick prank. When Quackity discovered that it was the real Tommy, he was shocked. Quackity then switched his voice into a more cheerful tone, welcoming Tommy back to the SMP. He then had a small talk with him about business and if he wanted to vent. Quackity then gave a clownfish to Tommy before leaving and shouted in anger at how Dream treated Tommy in the prison.

Before the visit

(Note: This event remained unknown until Las Nevadas: Episode 3 on April 12, 2021.)

Quackity talks to an unknown entity before he descends into a red labyrinth near the Egg, and makes his way to the Egg. He puts TNT all around the Egg and the area around it, but before he could detonate it, Punz and Bad show up. Quackity tells Bad his plan, and he places more TNT in the red labyrinth from before. Bad and Punz tried to stop Quackity, but Quackity sets off the TNT. Despite Quackity's vision being extremely blurry after this explosion, it is assumed that the Egg remained intact.

Quackity meets up with George near the prison. They seem happy to see each other, and Quackity says he wants him, Karl, George and Sapnap to have their own casinos. George, confused, then asked him, "What about Kinoko Kingdom?". When Quackity is confused by this, George explains that he, Karl and Sapnap started their own country, and the two argue briefly. Quackity, feeling betrayed, most likely immediately jumping to the conclusion that he had been abandoned, and rationalizes privately that the foundation of Kinoko Kingdom "makes sense" and "explains so many things". George then left for Kinoko Kingdom. It was heavily implied that this became the straw that broke the camel's back for Quackity, who would then start to go down an increasingly dark and bloody character arc.

Visiting Dream

Quackity was first seen heading up Punz's tower, meeting BadBoyHalo at the top. BadBoyHalo questions him on the Egg, at which Quackity reminds BadBoyHalo that he will "stop the Egg." Quackity then travels with Bad, eventually reaching Las Nevadas; the country Quackity had been working on.

After a short transition, Quackity is then seen at a cow farm, breeding cows with some wheat. Quackity checked one of his chests and it had a book. Quackity read it and understood that this was from Glatt, Schlatt's ghost. Quackity follows the directions in the book and ends up underground, meeting Glatt in his gym which seems to be connected to the afterlife.

Glatt was at first surprised, jumping back when he saw Quackity and then showing him around his gym. They argue for a while, and eventually get on the topic of the Revival Book. They make a deal that would cause Quackity to have to revive Schlatt if he lost, and Quackity agrees, taking him to Las Nevadas to gamble. The bet and its results are not shown and the scene cuts to Quackity meeting Sam in front of the Big Innit Hotel.

Quackity asks Sam about the prison, hinting that he wanted to visit Dream. Sam was suspicious. Quackity mentions how Sam was a bad Warden, citing Tommy's death and saying that Sam cared more about protecting Dream than he cared about protecting visitors. Quackity stated that he wanted to visit the prison with his diamond axe and sword. He threatened Sam, stating that if he didn’t agree that it would affect their status as business associates. Sam eventually agreed to let Quackity in with the weapons.

They then went to the prison and Quackity went through the typical procedures. Sam, instead of giving him his diamond sword and axe back, gave Quackity his warden sword, his axe, and some shears. Quackity visits Dream and when Quackity pulled out the weapons, Dream was caught off guard and started to panic. He started to shout for Sam to get Quackity out of his cell. Quackity told Dream that he would torture him every day until he revealed the secrets from the Revival Book. Still in a panic, Dream shouted for Sam again, but received no response.

After his prison session, Quackity, covered in blood, tore down the landmass of El Rapids, since it was abandoned. He had flashbacks of his memories with the other former El Rapids citizens and recalled introducing El Rapids to Ghostbur. With El Rapids destroyed, Quackity walked away.

Nearly a month later, Quackity headed to Wilbur's resurrection site and writes a note saying that he was right about power, placing it in a chest.

Red Banquet

Main article: Red Banquet During the middle of the Red Banquet, Quackity logged on. He revealed that he had Technoblade and Purpled to help him take down the Eggpire, and they did so. Quackity helped to free the attendees of the Banquet to save their lives, and scared off the Eggpire. After, helping the attendees he and Technoblade went have a private chat which contents remain to be unknown.

Expanding Las Nevadas

Sam walks into the nearby restaurant in Las Nevadas. There sits Quackity waiting for him. Sam sits infront of him, and the 2 began to talk. After a short argument about the man working at the store, Quackity hands him a book for potential candidates for the country. Sam tries to joke about adding George, Sapnap, and Karl. Quackity is angered by this and advises Sam to just read through the book. Sam then sees Foolish's name in the book, and feels uneasy. Quackity asks what Sam knows about Foolish, and Sam replys by saying that Foolish wouldn't be a good choice for the country, saying he's "not a good guy". They both state how Foolish was a feared fighter in the past, but Sam also says that Foolish was hot headed and killed a lot of people by accident during a job. The argument continues, with Quackity saying that, with the rise of their country, they were going to make some enemies and that they needed strong allies to defend them. In Quackity's eyes, Foolish fit the bill. Leaving Sam doubtful, Quackity goes to find Foolish and recruit him to Las Nevadas. (WIP)

Hitting on 16

It is important to note that, as a result of meta issues revolving the Dream SMP writing, Hitting on 16 - a short story published by Wilbur and approved by all appearing characters - is a canon divergence of sorts. It is up to audience interpretation.

Later, after Quackity summoned Wilbur to the Needle, Quackity and Wilbur shared a meal in Las Nevadas. Though their meeting started amicably, it quickly devolved into a petty argument, snowballing rapidly. However, it changed course when Quackity offered Wilbur a position of government in Las Nevadas - as Vice President.

Having come to see the title as a pity offering, and something beneath him, Wilbur became angry, offended at the offer. He began to argue once more, criticising Quackity’s career, before being stunned into silence when Quackity told him he doesn’t think about him, and asked him to leave. Wilbur re-met with Tommy at the base of the Needle and left.

A day passed and Wilbur and Ranboo showed up at Quackity's door, promising him a surprise gift as an apology for the outburst from the previous day. The two fetched Quackity from his office together, leading him to the cave - however, instead of finding the horse in the trap, they found Tubbo on the pressure plate, having freed it himself.

Both Wilbur and Quackity began to panic while Ranboo slipped off to try and help, and when Wilbur attempted to reach Tubbo to help him, Quackity butted in multiple times, eventually resulting in a fistfight between the two even after the glass barrier in the cave was shattered. They continued to fight until Ranboo called to them, having switched places with Tubbo to save his life. After their fight they were forced to watch Ranboo jump off of the pressure plate and blow himself up.

Teaching Slimecicle

Quackity streamed on November 27, 2021. The stream began with Quackity speaking with Charlie, discussing how he was leaving for the prison a few weeks later. He told Charlie that he could die, making him upset. Quackity compared Charlie to a younger version of himself, claiming that the only reason he could trust Charlie was because he knew very little. He promised to rear Charlie into being his apprentice, and promising that when Quackity died, he would take his place. Charlie was taught many lessons, over time learning about Quackity and his trials and tribulations in the SMP. He learned about every betrayal, with Quackity occasionally snapping and revealing how stressed he truly was. They grew close, sharing quiet moments and bonding over time until Quackity left for the prison. Quackity claimed that Charlie was his closest and longest friend, and the only person he could trust.

Two days before the prison visit, Sapnap showed up at Las Nevadas, with Quackity incredulous at him appearing. They discussed their countries and how it's been some time since they met, and Sapnap attempted to bring up Kinoko Kingdom. Quackity danced around the topic, constantly bringing up Las Nevadas and what he's been working on. The two of them move up to the Needle, speaking about their lives in a bittersweet tone. Sapnap brought up Karl and questioned if Quackity had seen him recently, to which he said no and said he'd seen George instead. He claims to have a grudge against George for sleeping through his election. Sapnap invites Quackity to Kinoko Kingdom, and after some attempts to deflect, he begrudgingly agrees and goes to Kinoko. Quackity asks why he wasn't invited, and Sapnap says he'd sent Karl. Though to Quackity, Karl had never shown up. They leave Las Nevadas for a quick visit.

Arriving at Kinoko Kingdom, Sapnap shows Quackity around and offers a tour of the place. Notable moments are when they arrived at the military base, with Quackity claiming that they'd have more enemies soon, and the mention of Tinakitten, making him jealous. They finally meet Karl, who offers Quackity some sticks and awkwardly starts conversation. Karl offers to tour Quackity, and takes them into the mushroom house. Quackity continues to reminisce on El Rapids, with Karl sounding unsure on everything. As they reach the top, Sapnap mentions moving in and El Rapids, to where Karl asks Sapnap to speak elsewhere. Quackity follows them upstairs, and Karl states that Quackity was the reason he died. Karl starts to get panicked, questioning why Quackity was in Kinoko Kingdom and calling him a murderer.

The conversation grows more heated, with Karl asking why he'd ask to lose a life and why Quackity was toying with him. Quackity starts shouting and questions why Karl forgot the years of history, to where Karl focuses directly on the fact that Quackity is a murderer. Quackity brings up Las Nevadas and yells about how they built an entire country without him. Karl says he knows nothing about Quackity aside from the fact that he took one of his lives, leading to the two being confused. Sapnap tries to break them up as they shout and argue, with Karl asking what history Quackity was yelling about. This might be because Karl forget this since every time he time-travels, he loses a bit of his memory. Quackity demands to never see or speak to Karl ever again, and leaves in a rush, arguing with Sapnap on the way out.

Wilbur: Wilbur Soot, also known as Will, or Alivebur, is the fourteenth member of the Dream SMP, having made a cameo appearance on July 12, 2020, and properly joined on July 16, 2020. He is the key founder and first president of L'Manberg, as well as the unofficial figurehead of Pogtopia. He is the son of Philza and the father of Fundy.

During this period, he came to believe that his L'Manberg's core ideals had failed, as a result he eventually declared his intent to destroy the newly-renamed Manberg. In order to achieve this, he betrayed Pogtopia by working with Dream to detonate Manberg during the Manberg vs Pogtopia War. After the detonation Philza, his father, ultimately killed him upon his own request - this, his last death, is considered to be assisted suicide.

During his period of death, despite the appearance of Ghostbur, some aspect of Wilbur remained as a separate consciousness in the afterlife. Ghostbur's manifestation called the status of Wilbur's physical body into question, and it was later confirmed that he was left in the button room where he died.

On April 29, after Tommy and Ghostbur tried to break in to Pandora's Vault to kill Dream, Wilbur Soot was revived by Dream using the Revival Book.

Since his revival, Wilbur has expressed his gratitude and admiration for Dream, and seems to have retained much of his pre-death penitent for conflict and power struggles. Wilbur has sought to establish a new place of influence for himself on the server through a burgeoning business rivalry with Quackity's Las Nevadas. Wilbur is a human with light skin, hazle eyes, and brown hair. Before his creation of L'Manberg, he wore a white shirt, black jacket, black pants, and black shoes. He also had an outfit with a yellow sweater and red beanie, which he only directly wore during non-canonical events.

When he created the Camarvan to brew drugs, Wilbur briefly wore an orange-and-black varsity jacket from his Minecraft Championship 7 team, the Orange Ocelots.

As the general of L'Manberg, he wore the standard revolutionary uniform: a blue blazer, white dress shirt, cream breeches, red sash around the waist, tall black boots, and a white-and-black tricorn hat.

As the first president of L'Manberg, he wore a formal dark blue suit with golden shoulder pads and a red tie.

As an outcast from Manberg, he wore a long brown trench coat (with a red stain that Wilbur claimed to be blood, wine, or food), gray shirt, black cloak, and fingerless black gloves. He also rolled up the sleeves of the trench coat unevenly. Nihachu now possesses the cloak, and wears it to remember Wilbur.

After his resurrection, Wilbur wears a dark brown coat over a yellow sweater and a bloodied bandage on his left arm. He claims that it is the same trench coat he’d been wearing at the time of his death. His previously all-brown hair now has white streaks running through the front of it, presumably as an aftereffect of his death or revival. However, on his May 5 stream, he stated that it was likely caused by stress.Wilbur's mother is was previously thought to be a Samsung Smart Refrigerator, though this was later confirmed to be untrue, with him only thinking the fridge was his mother because he misunderstood Philza when he said that the picture on the fridge is his mother and cannot be convinced otherwise.

Though he takes the appearance of a regular human, this half of his species is also up for debate, as it is still unknown whether Philza is part of another species or not. Wilbur did not inherit Philza's wings, nor did he have a single life like his father.

Despite his outward human appearance, it has been implied that Wilbur had blue blood before his transition into Ghostbur, further proving his inhuman nature.It's also not clear yet if Wilbur's resurrection has affected his biology in any meaningful way - he described feeling "numb" upon coming back to the real world, and he consistently reacted numbly towards creeper explosions. The white streak in his hair is from stress, and not the inherent act of resurrection.Before the war, Wilbur was cocky, caring, and self-assured, with a firm instinctual belief in the principle of personal freedom. Despite his pseudo-confidence, he seemed fairly unaware of the dire consequences that forming a nation would bring.

However, as the key founder and the first president of L'Manberg, Wilbur displayed strong charisma and leadership skills, and heavily preferred to use words rather than weapons, consistently sticking to this moral of non-violence.[9][10][11][12] This moral would be heavily influenced and changed by his encounters with war, though, and Wilbur would eventually become hardened, and resigned to the reality that power is dictated through pain.

Before and during the Dream Team SMP vs. L'Manberg War, he tried to prevent and de-escalate the conflict, only resorting to violence after negotiations fell through. He also banned armor in L'Manberg (when not in battle) in the hopes of forming and reinforcing a peaceful nation - this rule would stick until the country's demise.

Wilbur was also a resilient leader and refused to back down on several occasions, despite facing incredible odds and death.[13] He only considered surrendering when the L'Manbergians had all of their items stolen after Eret's betrayal and had their land blown up by TNT.[14] Contrary to popular belief, he did not force anybody to fight for him during the war, and displayed trust in his fellow soldiers, loyalty to their cause, and selflessness. He even at several points used himself to draw the fire of the opposing side.[15][16]

Despite being one of the more lawful characters on the SMP and claiming to have a powerful moral compass (as he preferred to seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts), however, Wilbur was a cunning character when he needed to be, and often employed tricks to fulfill his goals with as little resistance as possible. He often acted in his own best interest, especially before the conceptualization of L'Manberg. During the time he tried to start a business built on corporate scamming, he even dubbed himself a "Dirty Crime Boy" due to his participation in some unlawful schemes. For example, L'Manberg's capital, the Camarvan, initially started as a drug empire that scammed potion brewing materials from other people to achieve a monopoly.[17]

He also attempted to immorally consolidate his presidency out of a fear of losing control: he planned to host a "democratic" election with only his party as a candidate,[18] and he intended to use Jschlatt's endorsement as a political tool to raise public support for his party. Although he did not bar other candidates from entering the election, and did not bar the formation of coalitions, Wilbur likely allowed these things to pass solely due to pressure from the citizens rather than his own opinion.

He would later admit that he didn't actually mind Quackity's running against him, and only took issues with Schlatt's candidacy, as he believed that Quackity actually had good intentions for the nation. Despite the elections beginning with less than perfect morals, Wilbur would develop a fairer outlook, intending to step down with respect should he lose. He treated Quackity (his main rival) with some degree of fondness despite their contest, though they did not see eye to eye, and generally acted formally towards him (and presumably the nation as a whole).

Throughout this arc, Wilbur also displayed a persistent interest in literature. As Tommy negotiated L'Manberg's independence with Dream, Wilbur asked Fundy to read him "Ozymandias," a classic poem about the fall of a kingdom. He also kept and collected many of the written books on the server (such as POG2020's old election politics, war documents, and the Declaration of Independance). He shared the books with Tubbo, who had a similar interest, but kept them in his ender chest when he lost his L'Manberg citizenship.

Additionally, during his presidency, Wilbur dealt with a lot of stress behind the scenes - he would later describe it casually as a "crippling depression." This stress likely started with the burden of leading a nation through a war they almost lost and was undoubtedly spurred on by rising disobedience in the country (such as the civil war between Fundy and Tubbo). Even as the threat of losing his presidency mounted with the L'Manberg election, Wilbur maintained a strong front for the nation's citizens, and only admitted to his stress post-death.[19] This repression likely served as one of the precursors to his later downward spiral.

Despite all this, L'Manberg was arguably at its most peaceful under Wilbur's presidency, as per Ghostbur's later admission.

Wilbur initially believed that his and Tommy's plan to take down Schlatt's administration was morally correct due to Schlatt's dictator-like rule. However, he soon reconsidered this stance, as Schlatt had been democratically elected, and lost his faith in Pogtopia, reaching the conclusion that he had inadvertently become the villain.[20] His prior trust issues worsened, leading to a state of paranoia, as more and more people seemed to leave his side (namely Fundy, who was seemingly loyal to Schlatt and had disowned him).[21] He eventually convinced himself that everyone on his side would abandon Pogtopia once they realized that they had no real power, and attempted to express this to Tommy. [22]

Fearing abandonment, Wilbur acted somewhat controlling towards Tommy and Tubbo initially. He projected his own fears onto Tommy in order to ensure that Tommy would stay,[23] although he would later regret provoking Tommy excessively,[24] and come to accept that Tommy would dislike him in the end. As he spiraled further into his paranoia, Wilbur revoked his previous non-violent and diplomatic ways, instead resorting to plans of violence and destruction. Because more and more people joined Wilbur's side in Pogtopia, this cemented his idea of power influencing the people, leading to him becoming more resolute in his plans.[25] Wilbur believed they had only joined due to a shared hatred of Schlatt, and that he was still completely alone.

As his plan developed, Wilbur prepared himself mentally for the probability that he would need to kill anyone caught in the crossfire of the coming war, even his own allies.[26] Later, Ghostbur implied that Wilbur had believed at the time that nobody liked him.[27]

Wilbur vehemently denied the idea that his mental health was slipping, trying to justify his thought processes to himself and others.[28] He believed that L'Manberg needed to be destroyed because its ideals of freedom from tyranny had been permanently lost.[29] Wilbur did not value superficial power - he denied the leadership position in Pogtopia, and denied the presidential position in L'Manberg after the Manberg vs Pogtopia War. He was dangerously possessive over the main idea of L'Manberg, and the idea of it being owned by anyone else frustrated him, furthering his desire to destroy it before it could be corrupted further.

Wilbur persistently referred to L'Manberg as his "unfinished symphony," claiming that if he couldn't have L'Manberg, no one else could. These actions demonstrated that his ultimate goal (and the thing he valued) was the concept of control, not power, and points further this being a continued reason for his paranoia. This idea followed Wilbur to his death, before which he declared that his symphony would be forever unfinished without its conductor alive to finish it.

Despite his withering trust, during the Manberg Festival, when his ally Niki appeared to be in mortal danger from Schlatt, he stepped in in an attempt to save her by risking his own life.[30] He consistently struggled to press the button that would detonate Manberg, and reportedly visited the button room seven or eight times before the Manberg vs Pogtopia War.[31] On the day of the final detonation, Wilbur needed to talk himself into pressing the button, and displayed genuine remorse for his doomed nation.[32] Despite people constantly trying to persuade him otherwise, and his general indecisiveness, Wilbur's one reassurance was the knowledge that he would detonate the TNT, and he always promised himself that he would return to it.[33] In fact, Wilbur didn't consider Pogtopia to be a home at all, and believed that he had no place in the world after the loss of his L'Manberg.[34]

In the last moments of his life, despite the apparent victory of the revolution, Wilbur expressed heavy discontent with his irreversible losses and the ongoing violence, believing that L'Manberg's core ideals of freedom and peace had been lost forever. Despite this sadness, however, Wilbur believed that he was doing his L'Manberg a service by destroying it, as it would no longer be subject to any tyranny. [29] His death was ultimately remembered as a good memory by Ghostbur, as Wilbur believed that no one liked him, and that he was doing the world a service by dying.

Wilbur has said that at the end of his corruption arc, his character's D&D alignment is neutral evil, bordering on chaotic evil.As a separate being from Ghostbur, his spectral Earth-bound counterpart, Wilbur was outwardly calmer than before, having shed some of his more severely manic tendencies, and generally acting cheerier than before. [36] When he appeared to Tommy and Tubbo after they imprisoned Dream, he acted much like he did during the L'Manberg independence arc, prior to his fatal spiral into paranoia. [37] Wilbur bickered fondly with Tommy despite his apparent frustration at the resurrection news, [38] and was also genuinely proud of their peaceful victory[39], attempting to cheer Tommy up after the initial surprise of his appearance. [37]

He was largely unaware of the current state of the Dream SMP (as evidenced by his lack of knowledge about his attempted resurrection[40]), but was content in his death and had no wish to be revived, resisting the idea consistently. His cheerful mood changed when Tommy proposed reviving him, and he berated Tommy and Tubbo for bringing it up as a possibility.[38] He was completely caught off-guard by the fact that the people of the server had kept Dream alive solely for the possibility of bringing Wilbur back to life, displaying a remnant of his past exile-era belief that no one liked him. [41] However, due to Tommy's desire to have him back, Wilbur seemed to, at one point, almost reluctantly accept the likelihood of a later return to life. [42]

Wilbur's depressive state reportedly seemed to have only gotten worse in his state of death, as he increasingly talked about unsettling topics, and continued to hold the desire to remain dead. [43] He was happy to see Tommy arrive in the afterlife[44], and seemed to genuinely believe that Tommy and he had only been detrimental to the server,[45] believing that if he were ever to be resurrected, things would only go downhill again.[46] The long isolation did nothing to benefit his mental health, and it could be argued that he is still in a near-identical self-blaming mindset to his immediate pre-death state. Though he has been consistently warned about,[47] it would not appear that he has actually threatened anything towards the SMP, and it's not clear if he has any intentions at all in his deathly state, instead focusing on learning about a wide variety of topics (such as the apparent end of the known universe)After being revived, Wilbur was initially dazed, but quickly perked up as he grew accustomed to his surroundings. He appeared to be far more energetic, having supposedly picked up a new reason to live as a result of his extensive death, and regarded his limbo as a personal hell. He was overjoyed at having been freed, and rambled extensively, never stood still. Wilbur acted dismissively towards Ghostbur's old items, believing that Tommy owned Friend, and was caught up in the euphoria of the situation, almost forgetting the severe circumstances of the server in favor of beginning anew.

Though he paid little mind to his physical state initially, he appears to have at least shed his old ways of letting his body fall into disrepair, readily accepting his need to clean. He had a wide variety of plans he intended to complete - despite showing interest in letting Tommy into his project, he refused to properly explain it to him, implying that Wilbur is once again mirroring his old ambitious tendencies. It is highly likely that these plans are fake, and do not really exist - Wilbur appears to be struggling to find a new place in the world.

Wilbur appeared to be trying to act like he did back during his time in L'Manberg, attempting to joke around with Tommy and start up dialogue with strangers. He consistently claimed that he was better than ever, and that he felt great, carrying himself with a strange energy. Despite claiming to "never tell a lie again", Wilbur continues to be incredibly secretive, and it's very likely that he is continuing to fabricate the truth regarding his own intentions and feelings - likely to save face.

He presented himself cockily, going on to say that he'd won "no matter what," and that he didn't fear death. Most likely as a direct result of having come directly from a time period of near-constant political warfare, Wilbur appears to have a strange mind for morals, and was eager to pick the mind of the few people he has yet to meet in order to discover what happened since his death. Despite having no grudges against anybody initially, Wilbur appeared to struggle with not sounding like a bad person, especially to Ranboo, who he came to recognize as his absolute opposite.

Despite his showman attitude's supposed return, Wilbur's energy only remained solid around other people. Much like in his Pogtopia era, when left alone, he falls into an introspective state, much quieter than before, allowing himself to linger on thoughts and sights that affect him (such as the sight of the rebuilt Camarvan in Eret's museum). This implies that his conflicting attitude is indeed that of a newly forming defensive persona, and that Wilbur has not yet learned how to let down his guard to even his father.

Wilbur continued to struggle with his vulnerability, and his behavior around Tommy only reinforced the fact that he fears being left alone. Wilbur was incredibly insecure to his core, quickly growing frustrated when questioned for his actions.Throughout his life, Wilbur has experienced a wide assortment of mental health issues, perhaps even spanning before his first brushes with trauma. They continue to affect him into his resurrected state, and have been integral to his character's development, shaping his actions to a critical level.Wilbur had a long history of issues with his mental health, presumably spanning back even before the conception of L'Manberg and picking up heavily with his exile from the country. Wilbur has always displayed a hunger to be accepted, especially from his father, Phil, [49] implying that he struggled with feeling unloved or overlooked.

Despite his problems, Wilbur was never open about anything he struggled with, preferring to keep his mental health under wraps. As the first President of L'Manberg, Wilbur suffered heavily from the stress of leading the new nation (and presumably from the lasting trauma of the War for Independence, as it is incredibly unlikely that Tommy was the only one to experience lasting symptoms of PTSD around the Final Control Room) - in his own words, he would scream and cry into his pillow whenever he wasn't behind a podium.[19] Even before being defeated in the election by his own hubris, he had severe trust issues, and appeared to fear losing the little control over the nation that he had.[50] These would display clearest in his refusal to let even well-meaning non-Europeans into L'Manberg and his attempt to rig the election in his party's favor.[18]

Wilbur was irrevocably changed by his first-hand experiences of war, to the point where he lost faith in his previous ideology of no violence. He continued to work for his nation behind a political persona, in order to continue chasing his ultimate goal of security, and struggled to separate himself from this mask as the Elections grew ever closer.

After being exiled from L'Manberg, Wilbur's personal issues with trust worsened. It would appear that his continued distrust of the world (and resultant paranoid actions) likely stemmed from Eret's betrayal back in the initial War for Independence and Schlatt's betrayal of ex-friendship, and was reinforced by Fundy's burning of the flag and later disowning of Wilbur.[21] As his exile dragged on, Wilbur became increasingly paranoid that nobody was on his side[22], resulting in him slipping into a dark state of self-doubt, during which he came to the abrupt conclusion that he may have been playing the role of a villain the entire time.[20]

This psychotic break kick-started his corruption arc, as Wilbur began to experience delusions and paranoia. With the conception of the TNT plot, Wilbur displayed dangerously suicidal tendencies, taking action with absolutely no regard for his personal well-being [51]. Though he claimed he did not want to go down with it, [52] this would turn out to be a lie, as he was fully aware that he would die in the button room when the explosives went off,[53] and would later directly ask to go down alongside the nation.[54] At the peaks of his spiral, he often refused to wear armor, even in high-danger situations.[30] He would also regularly let himself grow hungry, without caring to eat. [55] Wilbur also reportedly did not sleep,[56] and (after prompted by a gift by Quackity) openly maintained the belief that he did not matter. [57]

Wilbur visited the button room supposedly at least eight times [58] - it would appear he struggled with the act itself despite his confidence about its creation. This struggle was most likely born out of a deep inner turmoil of self-doubt and would only serve to worsen his self-deprecation, as he would berate himself out loud for it on multiple occasions.[59] It is later heavily implied by Ghostbur that, alongside believing that everybody else didn't like him - a fact that is reinforced by his own words directly before his death [60] - Alivebur did not like himself at all either. [27]

In his spiral, Wilbur would rapidly shift his emotional tones unpredictably. Sometimes, he was almost manic,[61] [62] excitable, and enthusiastic about the destruction he had planned for himself.[63] [64] Other times, he would become enraged at the situation he was in,[65] expressing anger at resistance to his reckless ideas.[66] Or, he would become almost depressive and deeply troubled, his mood turning somber and his enthusiastic facade disappearing to reveal the true nature of a man who'd lost everything.[32]

His hunger to be seen and paid attention to resurfaced tenfold in his corruption arc, as he would insist on making sure that at least one person bore witness to his potential detonation on every attempt he made - it would appear that Wilbur did not want to die alone, and he berated himself aloud for being a "showman."[59] This, in turn, made it clear that, even though Wilbur wanted for himself and Schlatt to die in the wreckage of his nation, he did not actually want anyone else to suffer the same fate, as he backed down from his plans when Tommy and Quackity threatened to go down with him.[31] He would eventually make true on his suicidal desires even after Schlatt's death and the reclamation of L'Manberg, begging Philza to end his life.[54]

Ghostbur's lack of memory surrounding his exile from Manberg and his loss in the election heavily implies that the events were traumatic in some degree to Wilbur, though this wouldn't become explicitly clear until his death.In death it seems, despite seemingly having had a chance to calm down and recover,[44] for a significant period of time, Wilbur would continue to favor his death state, and grew unsettled by the proposition of revival.[46] It would appear that Wilbur believed he could only be truly happy as a dead man,[43] though it is now known that the afterlife was akin to torture, and continued to ruin his mental state. Wilbur would reportedly claw at the walls of his personal limbo (a train station, likely inspired by the cover art for 'Your City Gave Me Asthma') and scream until his throat became hoarse. Alongside this, it is implied that Wilbur methodically kept track of his days somehow, since he knew nearly exactly how long he spent there.

Wilbur described his self from "six years ago" (or, seven years into his stay in limbo) as being a complete wreck, likely alluding to his descriptions of clawing at the walls and screaming. It's not yet known quite how bad he got during his stay in limbo, thanks to the near-darkness and constant loneliness, but it can be assumed that his mental state at this point was very bad.

Wilbur would continue to believe that his death was good for nearly a decade, as proven when Tommy visited him briefly nine years in,[45] and he parroted these beliefs to him. It's not clear how long Wilbur continued to hold these suicidal-aligned beliefs, but it would appear that even during his stay in the Afterlife, he believed for a significant amount of time that he deserved it, and that it was best for the server.[46]

During the latter half of his death, Wilbur would claim that he "came around again," bettering himself into a state of relative stability. While it might appear that this is the case, it is far more likely that Wilbur's mental state worsened to a point where his body could not keep up a relative level of stress, and his brain stopped registering the pain. Though he began to feel better, it is therefore reasonable to assume he's absolutely worse than his so-called "lowest point," and any of his revival-induced clarity may simply be a coping mechanism to hide the stressors of death. This analysis is backed up by Wilbur's general indifference to reaffirmations of Tommy disliking him, and his indifference towards death. Due to Wilbur's continued stay in the Afterlife, when he was resurrected, he finally came to the conclusion that he did not desire death. In the wake of his new lease of life, he seemingly moved past his suicidal state, genuinely excited to live again. He appeared to easily be swept up in his post-resurrection euphoric state, and spoke incredibly possessively towards the sunset - it's not quite clear if this is indicative of a continued state of partial mania. He also appeared to detest the idea of resorting to his Pogtopia mindset, describing it as being "awful."

Wilbur appeared to be incredibly complacent about his death, still seeing it as a good thing, and acted incredibly detached when Tommy consistently called him a bad person, laughing off the statements. He claimed he didn't fear death, barely flinching away from a creeper explosion, though he consistently avoided going underground. His general attitude varied between an arrogant sense of apathy, and a thinly veiled self-hatred - Wilbur would pick up the habit of contradicting himself, and generally having jumbled and mixed thoughts despite his attempted outward projection of composure.

Also, Wilbur continued to present an odd sense of morality (sometimes referred to medically as splitting or polarized thinking), clinging to incredibly black-and-white beliefs. This heavily affects the way he continues to perceive the world around him - especially around Dream's heroism, and his own role on the server. He continues this belief by likening Quackity to being his "yang".

Despite his oscillation between thoughts and emotions, Wilbur claimed that he was perfectly okay, and that his thirteen and a half years in limbo had actually brought him about to being right as rain. However, his avoidance of certain situations, unstable thought processes, and occasional moments of silence hinted at this not being the case. It would appear that Wilbur is once again trying to make a persona for himself in order to present himself to the server, and as a result, he is never outwardly speaking the whole truth.

Wilbur worries that everybody sees him as something to be feared and contained, and longs for punishment solely so that people would start to see him as deserving of redemption. The slightest implication that he is not a terrible person has been powerful enough to bring him to tears, and Wilbur chases the feeling of being seen as a human being.

In the aftermath of Wilbur accidentally killing Ranboo, his passively suicidal tendencies resurfaced, and he began to foreshadow his leaving after seeking advice from Phil. Considering himself guilty for everybody’s suffering, he refused food, stating that he didn’t think he deserves it. At one point, Phil observed that he was shaking, most likely due to the mental strain of the explosion. Throughout every arc so far, Wilbur has consistently been all-in about all of his ideologies, willing to die to see them come to fruition. Despite the ups and downs of his time on the server, he has always valued personal freedom above all else, and believed strongly in inspiring change for the better. Wilbur tends to see the world in blacks and whites (polarized thinking), and does not seem to be able to comprehend the idea of not choosing a side - this has been consistent throughout his entire time on the server.

Wilbur initially proposed L'Manberg to be a capitalist nation, as it was a result of his and Tommy's failed attempt at creating a "drug" (potion) empire. He attempted to establish diplomatic relations with the Greater Dream SMP and with other outsiders; however, L'Manberg refused to allow non-Europeans to claim citizenship. Notably, before the war, L'Manberg did not even consider a social hierarchy or title hierarchy, although Wilbur was the de facto leader within the community.

Wilbur built L'Manberg with the ideals of true freedom and emancipation. This was a result of prosecution attempts against him and Tommy that he believed to be unfair. He and the other L'Manbergians would be resolute in this ideology during the nation's war for independence, and Wilbur was willing to die to see it come to fruition (however, he placed Tommy's life above L'Manberg and was unwilling to let Tommy die for the revolution). Wilbur also strongly condemned tyranny, as he wanted L'Manberg to be a safe haven from the dictatorial rule of the Greater Dream SMP. As a result, Wilbur saw the walls of L'Manberg as protective rather than restricting.

Despite these peaceful ideals, Wilbur did not construct L'Manberg on democratic foundations. When declaring L'Manberg's independence after the war, Wilbur instilled himself as president without holding an election. He continued to actively seek peace, even banning weapons and armor from L'Manberg. While he began to recognize the upsides of democracy, Wilbur never incorporated democratic systems into L'Manberg, personally overseeing conflicts to varying degrees of success.

Wilbur later attempted to use a democratic election to consolidate his own power. He realized through the conflicts that had erupted between L'Manbergians that not all of the nation's members took his words seriously, and decided to host an election to regain political power. Wilbur feared that the fledgling nation would fall into instability, but still attempted to host a one-party election (with just him and Tommy as his running mate running) in an effort to gain the respect of the L'Manbergians. This plan quickly spiraled out of control when multiple other parties began to run, including SWAG2020, Coconut2020, and SCHLATT2020, but throughout the election, Wilbur held to L'Manberg's core ideals of emancipation and escape from tyranny as well as existing policies.

As a direct result of having seen words fail, both on the battleground of war and in the leadership position of a President, Wilbur would come to realise that power can only be consolidated through violence, and that power is the only way to create real change in the world.

Manberg Rebellion

During his spiral, Wilbur never stopped valuing the core ideology of freedom for L'Manberg, even throughout his paranoid spiraling. He would become dangerously possessive over it, even holding it to a higher standard than ever before when he came to the despairing conclusion that it had been lost for good. [67]

Wilbur recognized that Schlatt's leadership was a cruel dictatorship that suppressed the citizens. However, he saw that his forceful reclamation of L'Manberg would be tyrannical at best, and would only paint himself in blood. He also recognized that, as soon as Schlatt stopped being a threat to both him and Dream, their alliance would end, and that their fragile peace with the Dream SMP would once more be thrown into question as they resumed being ideological enemies. [68]

His explosion plans were founded on the belief that, with the rise of Schlatt and the fall of democracy, the ideas of freedom and liberty in L'Manberg had been lost. He believed that, instead of being a safe space from tyranny, it had become a hot-spot for it, bringing tyrannical leaders and power struggles into the cabinet as time went on. Wilbur valued legitimate leadership, recognizing the importance of having a legal claim to power and understanding that a coup-won leadership would be corrupt by nature.

He once lied to Tommy about intending to leave a power vacuum for someone else to fill - it would became clear that this was untrue, as Wilbur intended to leave no L'Manberg to reclaim at all, having come to the conclusion that L'Manberg's core ideologies had failed. In his final moments, he expressed excitement at having left nothing but a crater for the people to "lead."

Wilbur would make his newfound stances very clear in his last "presidential" speech, mentioning that Techno's anarchist ideals had rubbed off on him, and that he no longer believed that government was the way to go.[69]

Despite Tubbo's apparent good nature, Wilbur had no faith in his presidency, recognizing that even under his leadership, the nation was beyond repair. Ultimately, Wilbur lost hope in the land he made for freedom, believing it had lost the ability to ever be free again.[29] At the end, Wilbur's detonation scheme was not about dethroning Schlatt, or reclaiming power, it was about ridding the land of the nation he had made.

Post-resurrection

It's not clear what stance Wilbur has clung on to after thirteen years of death, and it's entirely possible that his previous ideas have completely shifted once again. He seems to continue to value personal freedom above all else, eager to re-claim his own life, but it's not clear yet how this changed perspective will alter his opinion on corruption and power. Wilbur's current intention is to "live life to the fullest."

Wilbur appears to idolize Dream because he believes erroneously that Dream's intentions were to stop people from being power hungry. He considers Ranboo, who takes no sides, to be his absolute opposite, and openly disagrees with his stance, considering it weak and ineffective. Wilbur still considers his war-learned ideology that violence creates power, which creates change for the better in return, to be true.

He emphasized that he thought Dream had effectively "kept the power vacuum warm" for him, and carried the belief that it wasn't the name of L'Manberg that was important, it was the ideals that they once stood for - freedom, and rising up against a greater power.

Above all else, Wilbur believes that protection is cowardice, power is won through fighting, and that loss is inevitable. He considers sides before people, and is frustrated by the opposite ideology. He also self-identified as an "iconoclast" - someone who believes strongly in the importance of destroying icons for religious and political reasons. He notably does not agree with Phil's stance on authority (that is notably anarchistic), and likely therefore disagrees with Techno's similar stances as well. He claimed to disagree with Las Nevadas, as well, despite initially wanting to join it. He has retained a healthy appreciation for capitalism with purpose. Not much is known about Wilbur's early life prior to his arrival in the server. He was born to Philza and Kristen, and most likely spent the majority of his childhood with him outside of the server. However, he was left unknown to the information that Kristen was his mother, not the Samsung fridge, and he was left to believe for the rest of his life that the fridge was his mother. It is known that the two had a close bond in Wilbur's early life, and would share in familial activities, such as creating Chinese paper lanterns. Wilbur and his family lived in the state of Utah, and Wilbur spent 16 years of his life working in a gas station.

It's not clear when the rest of the circle came into his life, but it would appear that Wilbur knew Technoblade as a child, reportedly sparring with him when he was younger. It is also not known why Wilbur's mother disappeared.

It is implied that Wilbur had a strong respect for Phil, persistently seeking his support in later life. His specific relationship with his father prior to his debut on the SMP is not clear, though they were close enough to share correspondence.

At some point prior to his arrival on the server, Wilbur entered a relationship with Sally, supposedly having once married her. Together, they reportedly had Fundy, though the chronology of his birth is debated, as it has consistently been claimed that he was born within the walls of L'Manberg, as its first citizen by birth. Despite the timeline issue, Wilbur would later exit his relationship with Sally, for an undisclosed reason, and she would properly leave him when Fundy was only nine years old. Wilbur reportedly used to take Fundy on yearly trips on holiday to Paris.

Later, after being summoned to the Needle, Quackity and Wilbur shared a meal in Las Nevadas. Somewhere before this meeting, Wilbur had written a poem about the country’s artificiality. Though their meeting started amicably, it quickly devolved into a petty argument, snowballing rapidly. However, it changed course when Quackity offered Wilbur a position of government in Las Nevadas - as Vice President.

Having come to see the title as a pity offering, and something beneath him, Wilbur became angry, offended at the offer. He began to argue once more, criticizing Quackity’s career, before being stunned into silence when Quackity told him he doesn’t think about him, and asked him to leave. Wilbur re-met with Tommy at the base of the Needle and left.

Later, at night, Wilbur proposed a heist to Ranboo, planning to steal Ossium - or, as Wilbur believes its name to be, Boner - and hold it ransom. He didn’t care much for disguise, and the two were quickly spotted with the horse by Tubbo - Wilbur led Ossium away and asked Ranboo to deal with the interruption instead.

The next day, Wilbur and Tommy set up a trap for Ossium - to explode it in front of Quackity as soon as it stepped off a stone pressure plate, and stun him into never messing with them again. Tommy questioned Wilbur if the plan would work, and Wilbur responded defensively, insisting he’d never lied to Tommy before. Though he was unsettled, Tommy relented, promising he trusted Wilbur.

Wilbur met Ranboo in the cave where the trap was set the next day - again, Wilbur encouraged him when he showed fears about the setup. The two fetched Quackity from his office together, leading him to the cave - however, instead of finding the horse in the trap, they found Tubbo on the pressure plate, having freed it himself.

Both Wilbur and Quackity began to panic while Ranboo slipped off to try and help, and when Wilbur attempted to reach Tubbo to help him, Quackity butted in multiple times, eventually resulting in a fistfight between the two even after the glass barrier in the cave was shattered. They continued to fight until Ranboo called to them, having switched places with Tubbo to save his life.

Wilbur called to Ranboo to attempt to rescue him, but Ranboo did not listen, and Wilbur watched helplessly as he stepped off the pressure plate and was blown up. He felt alive. Quackity and Wilbur were once the main rivals in the SWAG2020 vs POG2020 Election (during which Wilbur acknowledged that he had good intentions for L'Manberg individually) and were initially enemies in the Manberg Rebellion. Wilbur disagreed with Quackity's morals, but appeared to be warm towards him, referring to him as a "fellow outsider" and readily leaving him with a cautionary speech about power. Despite their separation in exile, after the Festival, Quackity joined Pogtopia and became an ally to Wilbur's rebellion, working to help them take down Schlatt. Quackity wanted to work alongside Wilbur, but did not endorse his explosion plot, frequently trying to dissuade him from it altogether - this frustrated Wilbur quite a lot.

The two notably had a fluctuating and confusing relationship during their Election rivalry [81] and in Pogtopia,[82] switching between being borderline romantic [83] to tense and resentful incredibly quickly, as the two flipped between vague attraction and clashing over Plan Bomb.

Wilbur seemed to support the idea of Quackity taking the presidency at one point, indicating that they were never really spiteful enemies, though he still preferred the idea of just burning the country to the ground. Quackity repeatedly tried to dissuade Wilbur from continuing to explode things, but Wilbur seemed to think of his resistance as some sort of joke. After his detonation of L'Manberg, their relationship soured. Despite their rocky relationship, Wilbur refused to detonate the explosives while Quackity was in immediate danger, stating he did not want to kill him.

Before visiting Dream, Quackity visited Wilbur's resurrection shrine, writing a letter to him and leaving it in a chest. In that letter, he wrote that Wilbur was his "dearest friend," showing that he had come to like Wilbur even more than when he died.

Wilbur found the note after his revival and immediately sought Quackity out, displaying a similar level of fondness and eagerness to join him. When rejected by Quackity, he immediately acted petty about it, arguing with him loudly - though, he also bounced back very quickly from this, and admitted that he had a very confusing relationship with him.

It can be inferred that, to some degree, Wilbur might become interested in Quackity romantically (whether this is reciprocated or not is unknown). At the very least, he found his challenge to be “cool” and still appears to fluctuate rapidly between being fond and angry with him. The two are close enough to the point where Wilbur consistently waits on the border of Las Nevadas to be shooed away, and they used to hang out on occasion. The two have a love hate relationship leaning more on love, being the basic enemies to lovers relationship
