- **Jonathan Wolfe**

The self-proclaimed saviour of the world is known for his incredible intellect and strategic ability. A great believer and antagonist to the supernatural and everything the term applies to. To the eye an ordinary man. But for those who see further than the eye- this man is of unlimited potential. Fixated on the concept of omnipotence, Wolfe is a necessary evil destined to end the plague that is the ''superhuman''.

## History

### Childhood

Jonathan was born to a troublesome couple in The Netherlands. Every memory- as faint as may be, consisted of fights and arguments. They thought having the last word over the other was more important than taking care of their son, leaving their child alone to cry in its crib. During the night he'd constantly stay awake, afraid of the noises, unable to peacefully get the rest a baby needed. It was like he was an afterthought -- often neglected in his need for love. Growing older made it easier once he became more self-dependent.

Whilst his parents fought, Jonathan found entertainment in some of the books that were scattered all over the house. It wasn't really the content of the narrative that interested him, more so the symbols and letters that covered the pages. The mystery attracted him, reeling him in to learn what everything meant. And so, within months everything became clear to him. Once he turned twelve, Jonathan was reading psychological studies at university level. Something that didn't occur to his parents, who were busy beating each other's brains out with whatever item they'd find near them.

Jonathan entered his teenage years as a secluded and isolated person. He didn't find any interest in the people around him. Only talkative to those who probed him. Often perceived as lazy for doing the bare minimum in his school work to pass. Teachers didn't like him, but knew something was off with him. There was an otherworldly potential hidden in there that Jonathan didn't allow for them to analyse. Sometimes the school therapist tried to engage with him, trying to break through the shield. There was only one person to succeed in doing so. And she didn't do anything to help him. The stress he felt, the pain he underwent, neglecting it just like his parents did. Proving him right that the only way to deal with it, was to suck it up and move on.

To deal with his troubles he'd simply exercise. Both mentally and physically Pushing himself to get to his peak. Wanting to be better, stronger and more intelligent than the rest.

### Growing Older

After finishing school at twenty-one, Jonathan wanted to leave the country and everyone in it behind him. He moved to New Amsterdam, the island of Manhattan. The people were different but nothing necessarily out of the ordinary. After a few years he had gotten used to everything and successfully integrated into the United States' societal norms-- even obtaining the legal documentation required to be considered an official US citizen.

He temporarily had a job at the local Jewelry store. He had a charming smile- great at selling things. Jonathan didn't want it, but he was going to use the fact he was employed for something entirely different. Wolfe asked for a loan to purchase a house- persuading a female banker he spoke with to give him what he wanted. But instead of using the money for a house, he invested all of it in stocks. In a time frame of one year he successfully turned the 475.000 USD loan into 325 million USD by investing into companies that had just gotten started.

To make sure that he would never run out of money- Jonathan bought a building and created a company that focused on advertisement and stocks. Investing 25 million into this project, hiring people to keep this running 24/7. Functioning as an infinite source of income while the company became bigger. In his quest for perfection, Jonathan challenged his potential by finding the most renown teachers of all types of martial arts, one by one overcoming his masters.

### Necessary Evil

At his 29th year, Jonathan attended a business meeting his investors had organised in Salem. They wanted to meet him, for the sake of building a strong business relationship. As a collective they admired his progress, suggesting a variety of ideas to further the company into even greater heights. But before that moment came, what appeared to be a meteor struck the area and tore the surrounding buildings down to the ground. That which struck the surface appeared to be a superhuman, fighting one of his own. Something society came to perceive as a fight between a hero and a villain, rooting for the final blow- regardless of the collateral damage that enveloped.

Everyone in that room was dead on impact, their bodies crushed under tons of debris. But Jonathan didn't. Almost like some sort of miracle, the blow he sustained only bruised him. But before they'd lift the concrete off his chest, Jonathan spent hours struggling for oxygen. Hallucinating while his brains were on the edge of shutting down. But before it would come to that, a group of firefighters helped him out and took care of him. Before he'd reach the ambulance they wanted to bring him to, he finally collapsed and went unconscious. He saw a world of death. Bones outlined the roads, remains of humans smeared on the walls of countless buildings. And in the sky, he saw the new race of beings. Superhumans.

Once recovered from his injuries, Jonathan still had that vision on his mind. It was an epiphany, a revelation which he was gifted. He thanked whatever gave it to him. For, he had finally found his purpose.

Jonathan gathered countless resources in secret. Books, mythological artefacts, rare materials- means to the end he will bring forth when the time is right. He will find a way to combat the unnatural. Mankind's ability to persevere in impossible odds has been greatly underestimated by pessimistic scientists advocating for their ''heroes'', claiming we need them to keep us safe. Overlooking the cancer they truly are to the society. Jonathan knew that for one to reach their full potential, the mind is which they must explore. And that he shall- for, from that moment onward, Jonathan would not rest before his mission was complete; The last day of the unnatural.

## Personality

Jonathan is an extremely intelligent person. When he was younger he never showed it off- doing the bare minimum to succeed in things such as school. Though as he grew older, his perspective on the world drastically changed due to his father's demise. Wolfe came to hate the existence of beings that possessed unnatural abilities, he grew to be hateful and spiteful. They had no place in his society.

It's out of character for him to boast about his intellect -- rather calling everyone around him stupid and incompetent. Everyone is simply below him and should refer to him as their indisputable superior. There's also a lack of genuine empathy that causes him to neglect the feelings of those around him. Jonathan has a great understanding of the human mind and often uses that to manipulate certain scenarios into going his way.

He's a master strategist and possesses the ability to study any subject or concept. If he so desired he could learn any subject in a matter of hours and immediately put it into practice. Hence his belief that the human being is very capable of being omnipotent through sheer dedication. His ego is enormous and he does his best to feed it by performing objectives that even the greatest minds on the planet find arduous to comprehend.

## Powers and Abilities

### **Super-Genius Intelligence**

Jonathan's most powerful tool is his constantly adapting mind. His genius allows him to act as a futurist, a person capable of intuiting the future based on current trends, to the point of foreshadowing possible conflict. This ability also extends to a much smaller scale, with Jonathan being capable of predicting with accuracy the way an interaction with a given individual will go down even before talking with them. Along with that, he has the ability to learn anything he wants with minor effort. Science, The Occult, etc. are no mysteries to him once he is given a short period of time to read and practice it. It is because of this, Jonathan could do the smallest amount effort to succeed in school, without allowing for anyone to pick up on the true potential of his psyche. The complexity of his mind is also a reason many should not try and read it -- claimed to work at speeds of the finest computers.

#### Combat Perception

In relation to his intelligence, Jonathan can quickly comprehend an opponent's method of thinking and fighting, allowing him to anticipate the moves of the opponent. Jonathan does not have a primary fighting style in spite of his trainings, hence it is helpful in fights against difficult opponents where common techniques will not effectively work against them. He can't use this to overpower opponents that are stronger or more powerful than him.

#### Indomitable Will

Jonathan has great determination, bravery and strength of will. He can't be persuaded by anyone to do something, able to resist temptations in nearly all of its deceiving forms. This relentless willpower is also a factor that plays into his ability to learn at incredible speeds.

#### Master Swordsman

Jonathan is great with swords- taught by multiple private teachers he hired from all across the globe. Swiftly he'd also overcome those who taught him.

#### Occult Knowledge

Jonathan possesses an extraordinary amount of information regarding the mystical and cosmic territories of the universe. With the money he had, it wouldn't be as unfathomable idea to obtain, learn and master many magical artefacts and practices.

#### Peak Human Conditioning

Wolfe has trained his body with a great deal of exercises. He is well-built, fast and agile. Being able to quickly respond to sudden occurrences, also having a relatively stable equilibrium in abnormal positions and stances.

### **Weaknesses**

#### Human Physiology

In the context of him looking to combat superhuman beings, his body is his greatest weakness. He cannot lift as much or run as fast- easily damaged and even killed if the injury he sustains is too great to come back from.

## Paraphernalia

#### **Cigar Box**

He only smokes quality brands he imports from Colombia. Jonathan also carries cigarettes with him- though smokes them very rarily. They're not particularly healthy after all.

#### **Notebook**

Jonathan always carries a notebook with him to write down useful information- primarily when he's observing superhuman activities and studying those involved. Keeping track of all their shortcomings and behavioural patterns.
