Wolfgang

The Nightmare of Rage

Background

Wolfgang does not consider himself a monster. He considers himself the price of victory. Court-martialed for his war crimes and sent for execution, his Dawnline followers freed this raging nightmare and dreamt him into an avatar of fury.

Educated, calculating and utterly convinced of his own necessity, he regards restraint as weakness and collateral damage as a calculation lesser commanders are too cowardly to make. In human form, his rage is controlled: seductive, articulate and dangerous precisely because there is logic behind it. In Beast form, that restraint collapses. The philosophy remains, but language gives way to instinct: short commands, snarled threats and brutal certainty. Wolfgang does not become inept when he transforms. He just stops explaining himself.

Former names Le Poilu

The Closed Alpha client and the Pioneer client describe this Giant in matching words under two different names. Recorded as one Giant; the Alpha name is kept as a historical name.

Same concept in near-identical words: an officer who 'unleashes the beast within' and leads 'packs of terrifying werewolves'.
