Riley shrugged, "If you insist, he's at home. But I'd let him sleep; he doesn't have any memory of what happened to him as the Black Wolf." Anticipating that Izzy would be confused by that designation, he elaborated. "That's what I'm calling him in that state, since he certainly wasn't the White Wolf. He became something else entirely, something new. A new species of aberration, if you will. Something new needs a new name. A monster for the modern era: the Black Wolf." Izzy understood the meaning of the name without further explaination. Even though the aberration was an being of pure white, its existence represented the blackest depths of Trevor's soul.

"Y'know, he spoke to me when I was carrying him back. He was knocked out, so it was sort of like hypnotherapy. But naturally I listened closely; my job is collecting aberrations and stories of them, so I couldn't pass up a chance to hear about a new kind of aberration straight from the man himself. It really was a White Wolf at first, at the beginning. But as soon as it attacked Trevor's parents, it was ready to let go of him. But in that moment, Trevor's consciousness came to the surface, and he held onto it. Rather than be free of the aberration, he forced it to stay, and made himself a host for it. That's the moment that the Black Wolf was born."
