Son
and Heir of Ian Hawke
Heir Presumptive to Bleys of Amber
Trump Description
At times past, Wolf has looked slightly older than his biological father, through various quirks of fate, although how much older seemed to vary on his mood. Currently, however, they appear more of an age with each other than they have for many years. He stands about 5'11", is solidly built - with muscle rather than fat - and it's obvious that he regularly works out. He has dark blond/brown hair, cut short to his ears in a semi-military cut, often with five o'clock shadow, or possibly a light beard. When he's clean shaven, it's more obvious that under his weathered complexion, his features are well-defined - chiseled even - and he looks out at the world through clear blue eyes which give the impression of having seen more than his apparent age would suggest.
Like Ian, he is pictured with a carved wooden staircase beside him, obviously the grand staircase in an old manor house. He is looking directly at the artist, as if surveying him or taking his measure, a trace of a smile on his lips. He is wearing a plain white t-shirt with a slight v-neck, and a pair of dark cotton trousers, and he appears unarmed.
Astral Form
Wolf’s astral form harks back to his original upbringing and appearance. His hair is more blonde, although his eyes are as clear and blue as ever, and the bearing is decidedly military. He is dressed in clothing which is obviously based on a uniform, although it has no identifiable insignia. There is a sabre at his left side and a dagger hangs at on his opposite hip.

Family |
When he left Germany he was complete cut off by his German family, who considered him a dishonourable traitor.
However, he returned to Germany in 1980 and answered for the charges
against him. After moving to England, he married his best friend's widow, and has a step-daughter from that marriage. Has a good fraternal relationship with the man he later discovered to be his biological father, Ian Hawke, although as always with these things, there have been bumps in teh road along the way. Has seven children, of which he has a close relationship with two: Armand Becker, who he considers his heir; and Soren Ulrich, who recently came to live with him on Tenterden. |

Splits his time between Amber and Tenterden |
Items and possessions |
Always carries a knife in an ankle sheath. SS-honour dagger and another similar blade with more Celtic markings, both of which he's used in ritual magic, depending on the school he's working in. Sapphire ring used as a magical focus. |
Trials and tribulations, accomplishments |
Managed to adjust from being born and raised in Nazi Germany, to becoming a forensic scientist and private investigator in England. In the years after he defected, he carried a death sentence for treason and murder from the Greater German Reich, although this was deemed discharged in October 1980, when he was restored to his previous rank and privileges. He still retains the dubious distinction of having been dishonourably discharged from the SS-Einsatzgruppen. Is now getting used to his new job and position in Amber. |
