He had his home village raided and slaughtered by goblins and that's when Mizora first came to him and offered him a choice: die or sign the pact, live and take your vengeance upon goblins. So Wyll signed it, and not only he got his retribution but also decided to use his powers for good.

I didn't play in EA and had no idea this was his original backstory. I like this a lot more. In general I like Wyll, he's one of my favorite companions but his story does seem over the top even among the other origin characters. This story would have been much better and more grounded.
