King Wilhelm

King Wilhelm is a character in Barbie as Rapunzel. He's the father of Rapunzel, and his voiced is provided by Christopher Gaze.

Story
Wilhelm was friends with Gothel when they were young, but while Gothel had feelings for Wilhelm, he never liked her as anything more than just a friend.

Eventually, Wilhelm fell in love with another woman and married her. They had a daughter together named Rapunzel. But Gothel was angered by Wilhelm choosing Rapunzel's mother over her that shortly after the Princess's first birthday, Gothel stole her from Wilhelm and his wife and framed Frederick, the ruler of a neighboring kingdom for it. This ultimately led to a feud that lasted for at least sixteen years.

On the night of Stefan's 18th-birthday (which ended up being a masquerade ball), Wilhelm and a group of his mean crashed the party, presumably to capture or assassinate King Frederick. After tying up Frederick's castle guards, Wilhelm engaged in a sword fight with Frederick and later on, Stefan. Gothel eventually came ein and revealed that she was one who stole Wilhelm's daughter and explained that she did it to get Wilhelm back for not reciprocating her feelings for him.

Before Gothel was able to kill Wilhelm, Rapunzel came in and she managed to stop Gothel by trapping her in the tower forever. Wilhelm was happy to be reunited with his daughter and apologizes to King Frederick for accusing him of something he didn't do. Frederick was willing to forgive Wilhelm and end the feud, and the two kingdoms are ultimately united by a marriage between Rapunzel and Stefan, who had fallen in love.

While at their daughter's wedding, Wilhelm is seen applauding for his daughter and son-in-law alongside his wife, who looks just as happy as he does.

Personality
Wilhelm is a very loving father and cares about Rapunzel very much. Even after sixteen years, he never forgot about her. Before Rapunzel was kidnapped, King Wilhelm and his wife gave Rapunzel a hairbrush that later helped Rapunzel. Wilhelm is good with a sword, as seen in his sword fight with King Frederick and Prince Stefan.

While he appears to be heroic, he can be very stubborn with his beliefs, as he continues to believe King Frederick kidnapped his daughter despite being repeatedly told otherwise.

Physical Appearance
Wilhelm has tanned skin, auburn hair, a long auburn beard, and green eyes.
