Cuando era más pequeño, su [[Madre de Shallan|madre]] quería que fuera fervoroso.{{book ref|sa2|45}} Cuando ella muere, Wikim entra en depresión y se convierte en el blanco de la ira de su [[Lin Davar|padre]]. Casi nunca hablaba o sonreía, y se quedaba mirando a paredes u hogueras durante mucho tiempo. Sentía rencor hacia su padre y, cuando el [[alto príncipe]] manda a su hijo bastardo a la mansión Davar en busca de personas que hablasen en contra de Lin, Wikim le pide a [[Shallan]] que lo haga.{{book ref|sa2|39}}
After that day, he slowly came out of his depression. He almost always had math problems with him, at which his father first railed, but the [[ardent]]s stood up and said this was the Almighty's wish. Wikim started laughing again and even talked of becoming an ardent himself. One day, he thanked Shallan for her help and gave her a pouch with [[blackbane]]. He explained this plant would paralyze and even stop breathing; he had it because he had been thinking about suicide, but didn't need it anymore. He also explained the plant would become more powerful with time.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
