Wolfgang has embraced the darkness of their heritage, and rather than flee to the martial arts of the normal world he has studied it, embraced it, and under the tutelage of his master he ascended beyond any holder of the art, and in doing so.

The darkness coursed through his veins and in doing so his skin was darkened and his eyes turned blood red in recognition of his demonic power, but. The man told him there could be more. All he had to do was prove that he was indeed superior to his brothers way of thinking, though with Fonzie T. Buck dead a new challenger had to be arranged.
