James Howlett, the Half-Demon now known as Wolverine, was born into
privilege in Alberta, Canada, during the late 19th century, the second son of
John and Elizabeth Howlett. Young James' mother was distant and remote due to
the untimely death of her first son. Growing up, the sickly James was close
friends with the red-headed Rose, his companion and tutor, and "Dog,"
the son of the Howlett’s cruel groundskeeper Thomas Logan.
Dog’s growing obsession with Rose finally prompted him to attack her,
forcing James’ father to fire Thomas, and evict him and Dog from their home on
the Howlett estate. The groundskeeper and his son stole into the mansion the
next night and attempted to convince Mrs. Howlett to leave with them.
Apparently, Thomas and Elizabeth Howlett had been engaged in an ongoing affair.
When John Howlett interrupted their discussion, Thomas shot and killed his
former employer. At the shock of seeing his father murdered, James manifested
his latent Demon abilities, and claws jutted from the back of each hand. The
beast within the boy unleashed at last, James attacked and killed Thomas, and
slashed Dog’s face. Completely unhinged by the violence, Elizabeth took her
own life.
James suffered a severe breakdown; his Demon abilities "healed" his
mind as well as his body, blocking all memories of his last months at the
Howlett estate. Because Rose and James were blamed for the deaths at the
mansion, she spirited him away to a British Columbia mining colony. Rose gave
James the name "Logan," so that his real identity would remain
unknown.
The frail "Logan" grew into a strapping young man at the mine and
became known for his strength and ferocity. He spent a great deal of time among
the wolves in the nearby wilderness, discovering he had more in common with the
wild beasts than his fellow man. Bullied incessantly, Logan acquired the
nickname "Wolverine" thanks to his tenacity and refusal to back down
from a challenge.
Logan’s happiness at the camp came to an end when Dog tracked him down.
Finally remembering the night of his father’s death, Logan fought Dog
savagely. During the struggle, Logan accidentally impaled Rose on his claws,
killing her. Wracked by grief over the death of the woman he truly loved, he
fled into the woods. Logan was not seen again for many years, but the legend of
the man called Wolverine had begun.
The rest of Logan’s life is shrouded in mystery, peppered with half-truths and
anecdotal reports of unconfirmed sightings. His demonic regeneration seems to
act against the effects of aging, which would explain why, as a man of more than
120 years, he appears to be in his mid-30s.
In the latter half of the 20th century, the Canadian government subjected Logan
to a bizarre battery of experiments intended to forge the ultimate killing
machine. Weapon X scientists grafted the indestructible metal adamantium to
Logan's skeleton and bone claws, and introduced memory implants that shaped his
past to suit their ends. Combined with the earlier effects of his healing
factor, these false memories have made it impossible for Logan to discern fact
from fiction when recalling his former life. He now knows little of his past,
save that it was fraught with pain and loss.
Wolverine was working as an operative for the Canadian government when he
accepted Professor X’s offer to join the X-Men. Logan chose to stay on partly
due to his belief in Xavier’s vision for the co-existence of humans and Half-Demons,
and partly because of his attraction to Jean Grey. During his time with the
X-Men, Logan has worked to regain his lost memories, but virtually every answer
leads him to even more new questions.
Wolverine gained a mastery over his berserker tendencies during his struggle
against criminal leader Shingen Hirada and the ninja cult called the Hand.
However, although he hates doing so, Logan can still allow himself to go into
berserker rages in combat. He became engaged to Shingen Hirada’s daughter
Mariko, the current leader of the Yashida clan, but she called off their wedding
after being psionically manipulated by one of Wolverine's foes, Mastermind.
Although Mariko Yashida was freed from Mastermind’s influence, and although
she and Logan still loved each other, she could not marry him until she felt she
had redeemed herself for calling off the wedding. Logan took under his care a
young girl, Akiko, who was orphaned when
her mother was killed during the devastation wreaked by an alien dragon-like
being whom the X-Men had battled in Japan. Akiko became Mariko’s ward, and
Logan and Mariko regarded her as if she were their own daughter.
Although he would rarely admit it, Logan remains with the X-Men because he feels
the team is the closest thing he has to a family in the world. Serving with the
X-Men has given Logan what he had been missing for so long: a cause worth
fighting for. Still somewhat uncontrollable and unpredictable in battle, and
prone to an occasional berserker rage, Wolverine has proven to be a tremendous
asset to the team; he continues to make his home in Xavier’s mansion. Beneath
his brutish exterior, Wolverine will always be the scared, insecure boy who
lashed out at the world all those years ago, doomed never to make peace with his
troubled past. Haunted by half-forgotten demons, he fights for those who can't
fight for themselves kindred spirits, victims all.
Quote: “I'm the best there is at what I do,
but what I do best isn't very nice.”
Roleplaying Wolverine
At one time a brutal, ruthless
fighter, Wolverine has mellowed somewhat over the years. He has made a definite
effort to subdue his "beast" side of his mind, although he can call on
it when necessary. Wolverine possesses a high degree of honor, derived from
bushido. Despite his many years with the X-Men, Wolverine is still essentially a
loner and if a personal problem comes up, he will almost always deal with it
himself rather than turn to his comrades for help.
