Wendell is a typical spoiled little brat with a "It's my way or the hard way" attitude. He believes wanting something is enough to automatically make it his. On his birthday, his mother gave him a magical lute, which he dismissed as a poor gift. So he decided to use the lute's magic to get a gift he wanted: Flying horses.
He first appears in the Hanging Gardens after the Royal Kids of Enchancia follow a herd there. Sofia and James try to free the flying horses but Wendall thwarts the attempt with his lute. Suddenly, Amber appears and pelts him with figs prompting him to scream, "Stop it! I hate figs!" Sofia suddenly flies up, snatches his lute, and destroys it. Suddenly, Wendall's mother shows up and, after making him apologize, grounds him and takes him home.
Trivia
Wendell luring the flying horses into his trap is a nod to the Pied Piper of Hamiton and how he rid Hamilton of it's rat infestation and then got the children of Hamilton to follow him as revenge for cheating him with his flute.
