That’s WOLFGANG HARKER. He’s 39 and he looks pretty good for his age. Some like to say that he’s CHARISMATIC, AMBITIOUS, and DISCIPLINED but I’ve heard that he can be SADISTIC, MANIPULATIVE, and CRUEL. You should be careful because he’s a VAN HELSING HUNTER. Some people like to say he’s a dead ringer for TOM HARDY but I don’t really see it. 

The mini bio/application above hits all the basic points for my boy but Imma be covering and expanding on him a little more down below. 

full name: Wolfgang Harker. that’s it. no middle name and if you call him wolfie or any other variation on his name besides wolf, he’ll shoot you in the face. he doesn’t do that.

native new yorker who was born into the hunter lifestyle. parents were hunters, grandparents were hunters, great grandparents and every other person that came before him were hunters. basically, he came out of the womb with a desert eagle in his hand ready to cap supernatural beings. he was taught from a very young age what it meant to be a harker and while he personally doesn’t hold much respect for the name or honor it like some others do, he is willing to do what’s expected of his namesake and not only help to rid the world of the abominations that inhabit it but to also train those that wish to help him and his family do so. 

when it comes to his past, he doesn’t like to talk about it and before anyone asks it’s not cause he had some terrible childhood or another. he was always hunting as a child, his father was slightly cruel with his teachings but he was only that way in order to prepare his son for the challenges that would come his way, whenever his father was particularly cruel, his mother made him cookies. (that didn't actually happen cause she died when he was still young but who doesn’t like to play pretend?) wolfgang does not have fond memories of his childhood but all in all, that shit don’t keep him up at night. his father taught him well and once his father had taught him everything that he could, wolfgang did as his father had done before him and went into the navy. 

or rather he considered enlisting in the navy before just straight jumping into things by enlisting for the BUD/S as a civilian. armed with the knowledge and skills his father had instilled in him from a young age while he was not able to breeze through the program like he would have hopped, he was talented and strong enough to scrape by in the program. following the 6 month training program that was the BUD/S, the 28 week qualification/training, and then the two years where he was basically a scrub in the eyes on many, he earned his trident. from there he dedicated himself not only to his country but to learning all he could from those who in the eyes of other humans were damn near supernatural themselves.

dedicating twelve years to DEVGRU before receiving an almost fatal injury that would have crippled the average human, declared unfit by doctors to continue active service, wolf was allowed an honorary discharge. though he eventually healed from the injury due to the van helsing blood running through his veins, no longer having any interest in playing super solider, he instead chose to settle down in hope’s hallow and finally and truly get back into the supernatural game. however, after enduring so many years of training and pushing his body to the very limit, wolfgang wasn’t about to hide in the shadows scared to come out cause things that admittedly had bigger teeth then him and happened to be stronger than him were out there. not here for hiding in the shadows, wolfgang made himself a known figure to the town. he let his military career be known, he became an inspiration of hope to others and the moment he became popular enough, he ran for mayor and unsurprising to no one, he won.  

wolfgang is currently on a mission to make things better for hunters so that they don’t have to live such secluded lives. he wants to connect them cause he believes not only would they be stronger together but in doing so they stand a much greater chance of not only surviving but also actually accomplish their generations long mission of actually wiping out the beasts they hunt. he’s also working to make things harder for supernatural beings to blend in or hide by gathering information on them, bribing whoever and blah, blah, blah. he’s a shady bitch who is only in the position to help his kind and his kind alone. that’s basically it. 

this is getting hella fucking long so last but not least we got his personality. wolfgang is a dick. he’s sarcastic, violent, and he won’t hesitate to throw your ass down and show you whose boss if you manage to piss him off. he doesn’t take shit and most people who know the true him when asked to describe him would more than likely call him psychotic. he’s terrible. the only time he comes off as tolerable is when he’s playing pretend as the mayor and then he ups the charm and pretends to be someone the public can look up to and feel inspired by. honestly, he immensely enjoys hurting supernatural beings, he doesn’t necessarily hate them but he’s not actually here for them. it’s his job to kill them and while he may enjoy his job on some level, it’s just work to him and it’s never really anything personal. unless there’s reason preventing him from doing so like being in public, he likes to shoot on sight. uh... after that, don’t think there’s not much else to say except he is willing to work with certain individuals if they’re willing to provide him with information. he’ll show mercy for a price.
