On Felicia Day’s fantasy gaming webseries The Guild, Wil Wheaton plays Fawkes, the Machiavellian leader of the Axis of Anarchy online guild. Fawkes is the antagonist (and occasional paramour) of Day’s heroic cleric, Cyd “Codex” Sherman. And even though Wheaton’s played a major role on The Guild, we’ve never seen what his in-game avatar looks like…until now.
Here’s your very first look at Wheaton’s villainous alter ego, as seen on the cover of Dark Horse’s upcoming The Guild: Fawkes comic by artist Paul Duffield. io9 recently spoke with Felicia and Wil about Fawkes’ tale, which the actors cowrote together.
This is the first time we’ve ever seen Fawkes’ avatar. Were you involved in the design process? Like, “More skulls and spikes, everywhere!”
Felicia Day: I kind of let him lead on it because I always like to see other people’s angles and fresh perspectives on these characters.
What’s Fawkes been up to between the fourth and fifth season of The Guild?
FD: One thing I can say is that this is a much more Axis of Anarchy centered story than we’ve ever seen before, even for the show. It was fun to fill out characters I haven’t visited in a while.
