The Wolf

Background

The story goes that The Wolf was an apprentice to a Son of Ether in his former life. He was a pretty unremarkable scientist with a deep love for comic books, movies and any kind of action-oriented media he could get his hands on. It goes that he was a big backer of the thinking that mages were the shepherds of humanity, that they had a responsibility to look out for things.

Being a young man, he decided to do something about it, and planned an elaborate scheme to become a vigilante. He designed a costume, a name, and some gadgets to help him keep the streets of Pittsburgh safe. He was promptly shot 5 times in the chest by a drug dealer on his first night out.

The destruction of his carefully planned fantasy world was too much for him, and in the last instant before the bullets tore through his body, the world forever changed for him. Now, The Wolf is an urban legend in both his city and in nearby cities as an ally of The Men of Gotham.

He never appears in the news, but the people on the street all know his name, and criminals whisper it for fear that he might be summoned if he hears. Mages local to the area know of The Wolf and the other Men of Gotham, but are loathe to try to do 68 Bee^ ©p •i-•*»>-.. ;,v. VW'4 Ir-'KI.' r» , .: J Hi i r r't ,„ .- ^•..

On his hips he wears two revolvers with wolf s-head logos on the grips, and never speaks.

Criminals near him are more inclined to commit crimes, interestingly. There is never a shortage of people for The Wolf to fight. In The Wolfs world, the good guys tend to win. His enemies have horrible luck, while things always seem to go his way. "Good" people in his area also seem to have great luck. The Wolf always has the best place to stand, swing from, or drop from. He never looks foolish. •J.lUfT'j 'Jf! -M|?|. :-,^.*1,|l -jrvii, * ,< r CHAPTER Tw®: ITIARAUDHRS 69 j"!/1 J , H-:fe , «n '.i» * P • j ^ .111' I - ! - .
