The fist of their legacy that his brother rejected, fool that he is.
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. Killed his master and the entire dojo that he had learned the art in, ensuring that no other would ever rise from its ranks to challenge him again.
Afterward he was approached by a strange man wreathed in shadow, who offered him a simple deal. Accept the darkness within himself and nurture it even further, this, he did readily. 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.
Lucas Steel, master of the fist of the gentle wave. Defeat him, and he would have truly risen to become the greatest martial artist.

Ripley sits at a high-top in corner of bustling restaurant, sipping at a mixed drink that she barely tolerates. She eyes a thin man drinking alone at the bar, reaching down to pull her talisman from her wrist and begin to thumb at it. Ripley opens her mouth to call out to the spirits clinging to the man.
