Wolfhead
Before you can understand the Wolfguard organization it's necessary to know something regarding the history of Wolfhead. In the chaotic final days of the Second World War when Allied forces were advancing into a soon to be defeated Germany, some of the more sane leaders of the Nazi regime could see the writing on the wall. Some fled to South America. Other more fanatical members of the Nazi regime established a secret redoubt in the mountainous regions of the Black Forest. This highly secret plan was code named the Wolfhead Project.

Allied intelligence services heard rumors of this activity but those rumors spoke of fortified encampments filled with SS soldiers ready to fight to the last man. No such encampments were found because they never existed. The Nazi leaders knew the German armed forces had been defeated not by superior skill or weapons but by numbers and overwhelming resources, and that continuing the armed struggle at that time was doomed to failure. The Wolfhead Project was set up with a much longer aim in mind. To create a resource base for the eventual emergence of a Fourth Reich, and to create a force of super soldiers with which to impose the resurgent Nazi Party on the rest of the world.

Wolfhead started out from the beginning with vast sums of money deposited in Switzerland based banks; tons of looted gold and silver and priceless works of art stolen from occupied counties. In the hundred or more years since that time the leaders of Wolfhead, descendants of the original fanatics to the fifth and sixth generation, have operated in banking, international finance, industry, and the media conglomerates. Increasing the funds of Wolfhead and striving to weaken democracies and representative governments.

Alongside the financial activities, Wolfhead has also been working to create the super soldiers, and devise special weapons for those super soldiers, that will be required to impose their rule upon the world. Unrestrained by any ethical considerations Wolfhead's research into genetics has advanced far more rapidly than that conducted by more legitimate establishments. The result of this research is the Wolfguard Soldier, also as known as the Wolfguard Assassin. Wolfguard is the enforcement and assassination arm of the Wolfhead Project.

Some recent information, originating from the Meta Intelligence Agency in the United States has indicated that there is fractional conflict, currently at a policy level, regarding the furtherance of Wolfhead's goals. According to this information, believed to be reliable, some leaders are pushing for active operations to be commenced, while others in Wolfhead support continuance of the undermining of financial and democratic institutions claiming that this will achieve their objectives without need for overt violent conflict.

Additional information recently acquired indicates the fractional conflict has escalated beyond policy level and instances of open warfare have occurred between a number of different Wolfhead fractions. (See the notes relating to the Wolfguard Brigade structure later in this briefing document.) It now appears probable that the suicided Hitler found burned outside the Berlin bunker was a double, and the real Hitler made his escape to South America in 1945. We note that at that time DNA identification was not invented. However when the presence of Hitler in their country became a potential embarrassment the 'host' nation imprisoned Hitler and some of his companions in a cold sleep facility.

During 2058 unknown heroes freed many political prisoners from a secret prison located in the mountains of Brazil. Among those freed were Hitler and his companions, including the badly burnt Dr. Zerstoiten, more famously known as Dr Destroyer. The survival of Hitler, although held in a cold sleep facility, had meant Wolfhead had a revered leader figure and assured its commonality of purpose. Hitler died of natural causes in the early part of 2059 however, leaving Wolfhead without a leader. The recent conflict within Wolfhead can be viewed, in light of this knowledge, as a fight for leadership.

Baron Zerstoiten
Baron Zerstoiten, also known as Baron Z, is an important figure in the chronicles of Wolfhead and Wolfguard. It's highly probable that the Baron is a member of Wolfhead. What is known without doubt, but regrettably not provable, is that Baron Zerstoiten is the genetic designer responsible for the creation of the Wolfguard super soldiers. On the surface however the Baron is a respected Prussian nobleman, and the head of a biological research establishment located in his castle on top of a mountain in the Black Forest region of Germany. It's worth noting the Baron is the son of Dr Zerstoiten. This relationship implies the Baron is over a hundred years old. He has the appearance of a fit man in his early forties.

The Baron designed the genetic mixture for all of the Wolfguard super soldiers. Part of that design included an obedience 'backdoor' that assured the Wolfguard soldiers would obey his orders, above and beyond the obedience built into the soldiers towards more senior Wolfguard and Wolfhead members. The Baron also offers a genetic modification treatment to criminals who wish to gain the type of strength and speed shown by the super soldiers, at a price of one million dollars per person. Three members of the Top Hatters gang from Colonial Bay received this treatment during the Rift War.

It would appear that since the death of Hitler and the return of his father, Dr Zerstoiten, the Baron has been following a path diverging from that of Wolfhead. It also seems fairly certain that the Baron has his own super soldiers on hand. The Baron has a personal bodyguard of four individuals. It would be logical to assume those bodyguards were super soldiers. (Recent information has confirmed the Baron's bodyguards are super soldiers.) At the time of this report, the Baron has gained control of the Colonial Bay City heroines Amber and Azure. While under the Baron's control these should be considered as armed and dangerous. (The Baron no longer has control of Amber and Azure, aka Jennifer and jessica.)

Dr. Destroyer
(aka Dr. Zerstoiten)

Dr Destroyer is certainly one of the most powerful meta-villains to walk on this Earth. He is also one of the original group of Nazis that came to power in Germany in the late 1930's. Originally known as Dr. Zerstoiten, the father of the infamous Baron Zerstoiten, he was in charge of many of the weapons research projects conducted by the Nazis. Fortunately for the world as a whole, Dr Zerstoiten rejected the work done by such scientists as Einstein, Heisenberg, and Bohr - because they were Jewish. This racially motivated rejection is probably the only factor that prevented the Germans producing an atomic bomb before the American Manhattan Project.

Dr Zerstoiten developed a battle-suit of exceptional capability and power during 1943 and 1944. Although this suit made him effectively invincible and all-powerful in combat in whichever theatre of operations he was present, the overwhelming numbers of allied combat troops meant that his winning local battles failed to alter the course of the war.However the reputation gained during that period of utterly ruthless and overwhelming capability continues to the modern day. The suited Dr. Zerstoiten when appearing on the battlefield quickly became known as Dr. Destroyer. The battle-suit remains unrivalled to this day.

In late 1944 the SS armoured regiment used as a mobile base by Dr. Zerstoiten encountered an American patrol. The encounter was a surprise for both groups, coming as it did in a head to head meeting in the hedged roads of the Ardennes. The resulting point-blank fire fight was narrowly won by the Americans. The only survivor on the German side was too badly burned to be recognisable as the infamous Dr Zerstoiten. He was taken prisoner and spent the remainder of the war in an allied hospital. After the war, when POWs were released, Dr Zerstoiten made his way to rejoin Hitler in Brazil. His battle-suit had been concealed in several vehicles of the SS regiment.

When the presence of high ranking Nazis in their country became an embarrassment to the Brazilian government, the Nazis were imprisoned in a Cold Sleep facility. There they remained until, in 2058, an unknown group of heroes exposed the secret facility and freed the prisoners. The Nazis were transported from the facility to an unknown location by Wolfhead. According believed reliable information, Hitler died of natural causes in 2059. Dr Zerstoiten was subsequently seen at Baron Zerstoiten's castle. Over a period of twelve days several war museums were attacked and all the parts, except one, of Dr Destroyer's battle-suit were removed from where they had been hidden since 1944 and taken back to the castle and Dr Destroyer.

Introduction
The Wolfguard organization can, despite the level of terror that name can generate in official European law enforcement agencies, be considered at a preliminary stage of its intended operations. From the viewpoint of Wolfguard's parent organization Wolfhead, the activities of Wolfguard are in part fund raising, when Wolfguard agents are hired out as assassins and mercenary metas, partly enforcement of Wolfhead's aims through violent means, but mostly field testing of the latest genetic design of super soldier.

Wolfguard organizational structure is both vertically orientated, based on the generation of each super-soldier, and horizontally orientated in terms of the brigade division. At the head of the structure is a person known only as 'The Master'. His real identity is not known and in any case it's probable the real person assuming that role changes on occasions - probaby as a result of changing fortunes of the Wolfhead members, as one fraction or another of Wolfhead gains ascendancy.

The number of super-soldiers in Wolfguard is strictly limited. There are six surviving first generation (royal caste) super-soldiers from eight originally. Twelve surviving second generation from fourteen originally. All fourteen of the third generation super-soldiers survive. These third generation super-soldiers escaped from Wolfguard at the age of nine with the assistance of Starguard and Colonial Bay City heroes. The fourth generation number fourteen and are currently, at this date, three years old and barely into the start of their Wolfguard training. Each generation of super-soldiers has genetic level conditioning built into them to obey the more senior generations. And naturally, totally unauthorized but hardly unexpected, Baron Zerstoiten added a 'backdoor' that ensured they would obey him also.

Each of the Royal Caste generation works directly for a member of Wolfhead and heads a Wolfguard Brigade comprised of two second generation Wolfguard in addition to a number of paramilitary agents. One such brigade has control of the training and cloning base. Another specialized brigade operates the weapons development facility, believed to be based in North Africa. The remaining four brigades are the operational and enforcement arm of Wolfguard.

Bases
It is believed that Wolfguard currently has four or five bases of operations, some having been established over a hundred years ago. Exact locations are unknown. There is almost certainly a base in the Black Forest district of Germany and possibly a second base in that region as well. South America is suspected of being home to another Wolfguard base, probably in Brazil. Weapons development is known to be carried out in a base located somewhere in Northern Africa. Genetic cloning of Wolfguard super soldiers and training of the clones was carried out in a base located in Scotland. However the location of that Wolfguard base was discovered and subsequently assaulted by Starguard forces in 2054AD. It isn't known whether the overrun Scottish base has been replaced.

Latest information reveals the Scottish cloning and training base has been replaced by a new base in Alvorada, Brazil. The new fourth generation Wolfguard super soldiers, currently aged three years old, are being trained at this base.

Weapons and Equipment
The trademark weapon of a Wolfguard super-soldier is a device known as a Colee Whip. This is an energy whip of exceptional capability. Generated by a device the rough size and shape of a goose's egg, the whip can be extended up to 10m in length and is as flexible as a squid's tentacle. It takes years of practice for a Wolfguard clone to fully master the energy whip, but when it is mastered it becomes almost an extension of their reach. A skilled energy whip user can juggle eggs without breaking them, crush a vehicle, snake the whip in through a hole no bigger than a fist to manipulate objects inside a room, or curl it around to strike an opponent in the back.

The secondary weapon usually carried by a Wolfguard super-soldier is a thruster rod. This device, a short stubby crystal rod, generates a pulse of kinetic energy which has the impact of a sledge-hammer blow to the chest, and imparts sufficient of the kinetic energy to whatever is struck to send it flying backwards. The pulse of energy can be adjusted from a wide angle cone to a narrow focused beam.

Wolfguard protective equipment is equally distinctive. There are two version, one for covert operations where initial concealment is required and a heavier duty version for normal use. Both operate in the same fashion. Multiple force wall generators are attached to a torso harness. When in use the protective harness generates many flat force walls that combine to create an enclosing segmented force armor shield.

Wolfguard super-soldiers are familiar with, and can use, virtually any weapon from clubs to pistols to main battle tank guns. It is rare that they will use any weapon other than their energy whip or thruster rod however. Supplementary equipment such as night vision goggles, gas masks, suba gear, etc., are used when needed.

When operating on missions their specialized weapons are usually collected at the destination from embassies, having been transported in sealed diplomatic bags. Some countries are frightened into cooperating, some cooperate willing in return for services rendered, and Wolfguard/Wolfhead have highly placed supporters in Germany and South America. Other equipment, and especially explosives, are usually accquired from local sources.

Wolfguard agents are usually equipped with H&K MP-8S special force model sub machine guns, bayonets, and a lighter version of the force armor harnesses used by super-soldiers. Fragmentation grenades are a common addition to agent equipment.

Wolfguard: An Update
Much of the above is no longer accurate. Wolfguard, as a functioning organisation, is effectively defunct. Baron Zerstoiten revealed the location of the Wolfguard base training the fourth generation Wolfguard children to Jennifer and Jessica. Heroes aided by third generation Wolfguard removed the fourth generation from the less than tender care of Wolfguard and took them to Lord Markham's School for Gifted Children in England.

The Baron refused to either clone new fourth generation children or work towards a fifth generation. Wolfguard super soldiers are not immortal or longer lived than ordinary humans. The Royal Caste are now 48 years old. The Second generation now 38 years old. Wolfguard now had no future. Only a past that time would increasingly degrade as the existing super soldiers grew old. The Council of Wolfhead fragmented with individual members, seeing that was in store for Wolfguard, making personal grabs for what power they could take right now, pitting Wolfguard Brigade against Wolfguard Brigade. Into this messy situation came Doctor Zerstoiten who has since recruited many of the Wolfguard super soldiers and agents into his own resurgent organisation.
