Biography[]
Heroes VI[]
Born to a noble family in the Unicorn Duchy, Lord Kilburn grew up a happy, privileged child, gifted with a single, peculiar talent: a meticulous eye for detail.
Entertaining palour tricks - counting the number of buttons on a lady's dress in the blink of an eye, stating how many flagons of ale the serving lad had spilled over the night, for example - were the harmless fruits of this ability until the Inquisition enlisted Kilburn's help in the wake of the Blind Brothers' prophecy heralding the return of the Facless, the dreaded children of Malassa the Dragon of Darkness.
Unquestionably drawing up detailed lists of the hundreds upon hundreds of common folk he had encountered during travels through Imperial lands, Lord Kilburn's jovial nature was shattered when he realized his lists were being used to round up suspected Faceless on evidence as scant as the presence of a black cat.OffBck
Kilburn was a worshipper of Elrath and a Sun crusader: he notably defeated the Archlich Mironor and simultaneously discovered that the cure to the infectious contagion spread by the putrid lamasu in battle was sleep.
Kilburn is a skilled mathematician and has eyes like an eagle. He is a man who makes a lot of lists, which some come as predictions of the future. When Salvatore decided to "hunt" any non-Elrath followers, his list of people was used to track down the suspects. His faith shaken by how his talents had been used by the Church of Light, a disheartened Kilburn undertook a quest across the Holy Empire, hoping to find Elrath and a new meaning to his life. He eventually met Duke Anton of Griffin, whom he befriended.
On the Path of Tears, he remains at Anton's side and fights against the Demons invading the Empire.
Might and Magic X[]
In 575 YSD, Kilburn was tasked by Empress Gwendolyn Falcon to establish new maps of the Agyn Peninsula. He is known to be a grandmaster of combat with Shield. Lord Kilburn is located at the Magic Observatory (60, 66) in the Yon-Chall forest.
During the events of the The Falcon & The Unicorn DLC, Kilburn helps thwart the schemes of his own cousin, Duke Oswin Unicorn, who was plotting to overthrow the Empress. He eventually marries crusader Rosalie, the long-lost daughter of Lord Montbard, the previous governor of the Agyn Peninsula, and is made the new Duke of Unicorn by Empress Gwendolyn.
Legacy[]
One of his descendants, Rowena of Unicorn, later allied herself with Ivan Griffin against Amilcar and his allies. His other descendants include Edric, Evelyn, Godric, Fiona, Aidan and Freyda.

- This version of Lord Kilburn has the first name "Wilfred" in reference to Sir Walter Scott's character Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
