[quote]Predominantly, but not exclusively, aryan. Werewolves breed by scratching/biting other humans. Lycanthropy can also be inherited from a parent. The Werewolves with the most control over their lycan form usually inherited through their genes, instead of having been bitten. There are some notable Lycan bloodlines, with the most prominent being the Hunters. The Hunters look down upon breeding with humanity, but other groups might not be so elitist.[/quote]

So he's the scion of a bloodline that bit comrades in Korea to stay alive during Winter '51. That's perfect, I can totally work with that. That also explains why the Wild Hunt is so objectionable. He bit people that he was fighting alongside and now the Wild Hunt bites people that join.
