Many years ago, a motorcyclist rode into the tiny town of North Fork, West Virginia, where he met a lovely girl named Betty Craig. The two quickly fell in love, and Gudmund decided to leave behind his former life in a biker gang, settle down and get married.
Not long after that, the happy couple had a son, whom they named Walter. Walter was not like other boys; you see, in case you didn’t know by now, Walter is a werewolf.
Walter’s lycanthropy is passed down through his father’s family, inherited from a distant ancestor, Vidar Tormundson, who made a pact with an evil spirit to get revenge. And now, every full moon, his descendants transform into wolves. This made for an awkward childhood and an even more awkward adolescence for Walter.
Gudmund and Betty, however, raised Walter differently than his ancestors. He was raised a staunch Lutheran, with a code of ethics that he follows to the utmost. However, things did not always go well for Walter.
After a long day of work, Gudmund stopped in at the local bar to have a drink and some light conversation. This proved fatal, as a silver bullet pierced his heart. Though the killer was never discovered, Walter blamed the citizens of North Fork for their hatred, and ran away with his father’s old biker gang.
However, an encounter with a man named Conrad LeFontain brought Walter back to the path of justice that he had left years earlier. Walter discovered that it was none other than his cousin Hoarfrost who had murdered Gudmund. Walter then returned to North Fork, resolving to put an end to the curse that seemed to hang over the little town.
Walter is an expert marksman and skilled in hand-to-hand combat. He has a broad knowledge of the occult, and knows how to counteract most sorcery. He enjoys a good fight, black coffee, cigarillos, and Heavy Metal. He tends to be introverted; he would prefer spending time in a library reading old books to going to a club. He has little tolerance for stupidity, and will say so upfront. Some do not appreciate his plain-spoken manner, but Walter has grown accustomed to this.
