His wife is his job and he reckons at his age few women are stupid enough to fall for him, but a hole is hole.

Wolfgang has an appearance that is not memorable, and this is in part thanks to the fact he regularly alters it between the dye of his hair to how it is cut, to cottons wads placed inside his mouth to alter facial structure, all the way down to elaborate makeup. Indeed, it has been so long since he has seen his natural hair colour he doesn't know what it is now, it full well possibly ranging from the blond of his youth, or having darkened with maturity, to possibly becoming grey with age and stress. Still though, he is arguably average in all things, perhaps the perfect male mean phenotype of the whole world. All his features are pronounced, but not too much. He is conventionally attractive, but nothing special. Even his eyes make his covert work easier, being that perfect shade which depending on who you ask might have been grey, green, blue or brown. His posture also makes his appearance difficult to find consensus on, the way he carries himself making people's estimations deviate by as much as 20 centimetres from his real height of 187cm in both directions.

Worthwhile to note is his external appearance. His clothing will naturally adapt unpredictably if a disguise is needed, but in his natural state he still has much variance. He'll generally dress rather finely with some apparent synthesis of the styles of nobility and merchants but with silk largely replaced by more practical leather and cloth. For display he'll have a hand crossbow with gargantuan draw, a sword of some sort and an assortment of smaller blades. But one shouldn't be deceived for about his person Wolfgang will hide any amount of weapons and other tools of trade from plates and chainmail to stakes and holy books.

Music and the arts, philosophies, history, blacksmithery, and anything that isn't his work which - while he certainly does appreciate - has come to exhaust him at times.

Wolfgang is an individual of powerful convictions and after all, he has to be for his duty. The cries of witches burned alive along with the many other victims of his work have long since stopped haunting his dreams, and indeed the thoughts of this suffering inflicted comes to soothe him. With that said one can far from dismiss him as simply after blood. The initial aversion to his work has been replaced with understanding of the value in it, though his understanding of the world has become somewhat cold and extremely mechanical. All he does he evaluates in whether the net suffering upon the world inflicted by his actions will be outweighed by that prevented, avenged, or reversed. The man absolutely dreads the day when the scales of justice are even, and he cannot make a decision. But by the grace of the divine and the crown of Thelan, such a vile moment has not yet come before him. Perhaps that line could also shed light on the fact that Wolfgang is a thorough patriot of his land, valuing the lives of people from Thelan and Moore at the very least twice the amount of that of those backwards Alovian savages, proper empathy for "the enemy" still not possible after the many years.

   H I S T O R Y   
The story of Wolfgang begins near the capitol of Thelan, his family a wealthy one claiming descent from Moore. However, intermarriage with the locals has long since diluted the viking blood to make Wolfgang all but indiscernible from an ordinary denizen of Thelan. His childhood was uneventful, the same as that of other titled people full of tutors and the likes. However as teenage years progressed he became acutely aware he was the third son and fourth child of his parents, and that thus he'd get little more than scraps for inheritance. But perhaps  luckily, fate had other plans for him than having to merely live in the shadow of his siblings. 

Merely fourteen at the time, Wolfgang went off to a hunting trip with his family the contents of which he now barely remembers given the trauma he underwent. The details are to this day vague but he knows full well that he was taken by some witches via enchantment of some sort. Though some he recalls his tale to (particularly those from Alovia and their witch allies) might suggest he came willingly he puts his faith in the word of his rescuer, Matthias Ryter. This man was a hunter of witches and other malign forces in the world, and he became the role model of the young lad. The hunter had other things to get to in the land, but he took the boy under his wing, a relationship that quickly became an apprenticeship as Wolfgang became enamoured with the heroic image Matthias formed. The man never showed death to the boy however, which made him far more eager to continue on by the fellow when they returned to civilization. It took a long time of petitioning his father for Wolfgang to get him to agree to the boy becoming a man of inquests for profession but after some smooth words from Matthias he relented.

Having secured himself a future, Wolfgang still had many trials and tribulations ahead of him. His gradual ascension to a true hunter of witches came in the last years of the war between Thelan and Alovia, but he experienced more than his fair share of bloodshed. From Knights in full plate to witches slinging the foulest of magics he saw all die with his mentor, and the first person to die solely by his hand soon followed. The end of the war that soon followed did however tax the lad. He had spent perhaps the most valuable years of his development learning to kill only to now learn that war was over. For a youth having so much blood on his hands to return to civil society is fairly difficult. He had no trust for the call of peace by the men who were responsible for so much death among Wolfgang's countrymen, and the man's peacetime life was never rid of the prejudice to Alovians he developed. While the slaughter of bandits - particularly those controlling the esoteric - did satisfy the lust for righteousness in Wolfgang he still had much paranoia about the future. He investigated all facets of the new Thelan-Alovia peace for signs of treachery, amassing a great portfolio of knowledge about recent history. 

With the disappearance of the Queen there is a slight feeling of vindication for Wolfgang, though he is well conscious of  the fact the full extent of what happened to her is not known and it may well have been his own Kingdom that has come to show treachery. Regardless, he intends to find out the truth and perhaps somewhat selfishly sees an opening to make a name for himself in this trouble.
