Wilbur Soot

Will Gold, better known online as Wilbur Soot, is a popular YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and musician who is a friend of the Dream Team and member of the Dream SMP.

Throughout his music career, Wilbur has released an album (Your City Gave Me Asthma), an EP (Maybe I Was Boring), and several singles, including I'm in Love With an E-Girl, Internet Ruined Me, and Your New Boyfriend and is the lead singer of the band Lovejoy. Additionally, his streams, videos, and music include references to the Internet in the 1990s; for example, his stream layout is modeled after 90's browser windows.

Wilbur cameoed on the DreamSMP on July 12, 2020, and properly joined on the July 16. He transitioned the server into scripted improvisation, which started a storyline that contributed greatly to the SMP's fame, and he was the head writer of the L'Manberg Independence and Manberg Rebellion arcs. He stepped down after his character's death at the end of the Manberg vs Pogtopia War to work on personal projects, but had still made minor contributions to the storyline at the time.

Alongside expressing his interest in returning to his position as head writer in the future, Dream has stated that he will return to writing lore for Pandora's Vault, the prison of the SMP, in the near future, and Wilbur has since confirmed that he has written more lore for his own character thanks to his resurrection.

On July 13, 2020, he and George met up in Brighton at a Pizza Hut as a part of The Vlog hoax.

Trivia

 * He has an ongoing bit where he comes up with a random date whenever someone asks when his birthday is. He has said that this is because he hates his birthday and doesn't celebrate it. Part of the joke is that he lied to Famous Birthdays and gave them a fake date, but he has also stated that this could be a double bluff, meaning his actual birthday and the one displayed on Famous Birthdays might actually be the same.
