HISTORY.
General: Not much is known about the early history of Wolfram Emmerich. He was assumedly born somewhere in Southwestern Germany in the first half of the preceding century, but other than the fact that he attended Durmstrang, any information on his childhood is lost and he's not one to discuss it. All that's known is that by the time he was 30, he was not only a member of the esteemed Black Forest Church, but widely known as 'Fifteen Felled on the Feldberg' for his near single-handedly incapacitation a gang of fifteen savage werewolf criminals who refused to reason with the local wizarding authorities and were collectively responsible for the deaths of twenty-six men and women - one of them a witch. Though the Black Forest Church made him a bit of a legend for it, what they - nor anyone - didn't know was that he did not go from that battle on the Feldberg unscathed. In addition to the claw scar that he carried the rest of his life, he was also bitten by one of the werewolves in the battle. Every week of the full moon since then he has made sure that he was on a mission somewhere. This experience of duality - being both a monster hunter and a monster - gave him a strong sense of justice and a need to offer these 'monsters' a chance for redemption and a chance to live peacefully before he resorted to violence. Under the old administration of the Black Forest Church, this worked out fine, and for decades they were unaware of his secret. Upon the ascension of the current leader, Maximillian Bismarck, the Old Wolf finally decided to peacefully retire from fighting. Though he still had some fight left in him, he feared Bismarck's cunning, intelligence, and fierce scrutiny, and knew that the man would be clever enough to piece together his 'missions' every month. As a result, Wolfram has hidden out in the depths of the Black Forest for several years now, living alone with his dog, Rover, drinking his wolfsbane potion and keeping to himself. Were things to continue on as they were, the Old Wolf would have just lived out there until he finally gave up the ghost, but he has recently been given a visit by an owl containing a message from a 'Ashelle Rainier-Hunter so-and-so' asking for help against the current corrupt Black Forest Church. While Wolfram had little love for the Hunters or the Rainiers, he had respect for what the Black Forest Church once was - not a group of fanatics, but vigilantes fighting for justice, not prejudice - and decided he would head to Firefox University in Spain to see how he could assist her.
