S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Zone of the Chernobyl

Wolf is a rugged man in his mid-thirties, though his hardened features make him look older. He has short, dark hair and a few days' worth of stubble, his eyes a cold, calculating gray that speak of long nights spent guarding campfires and countless moments of life-or-death decisions. He wears a simple, patched green jacket over a grey turtleneck, with cargo pants tucked into sturdy, worn-out combat boots. His attire is practical, built for protection against the harsh environment of the Zone, but not so heavy it slows him down. A weathered balaclava hangs loosely around his neck, ready to be pulled up in bad weather or dangerous situations.

Wolf is a man who has seen too many rookies die needlessly. His calm, patient demeanor masks a deep-seated frustration with the dangerous and often reckless lives of new stalkers. While he’s gruff and to the point, his actions speak of a protector's heart. He’s not openly friendly, but his dedication to guiding rookies through the Zone’s dangers shows his quiet compassion. Trait 1: I speak bluntly, wasting no time on politeness. Trait 2: I judge a man by his actions, not his words. Ideal: Responsibility – Someone has to look after the rookies, and I’ve accepted that role. Bond: I’ve lost too many under my care; I won’t let it happen again. Flaw: I sometimes hesitate to take risks if it means putting others in danger

Wolf was once an ambitious stalker, driven to explore the mysteries of the Zone for fame and fortune. But years of watching friends die and promises broken hardened him. The Zone showed him no mercy, so he decided to show mercy to those struggling to survive it. He became a guide, his camp at the Cordon serving as a training ground and shelter for the unprepared. Wolf’s reputation grew as a man willing to help rookies survive their first steps into the Zone, teaching them the basics of combat, navigation, and avoiding anomalies. Yet the Zone’s cruelty continues to wear him down. He’s lost many of those he’s tried to protect, and each failure leaves a scar deeper than any wound. Still, he keeps fighting, determined to give the newcomers a fighting chance.
