## History / Backstory

### Backstory

Joseph Quincy Rutherford Was A Solitary Hunter Who Lived In The .. Woods In Jamestown In The 19th Century. A Man Of The Wilderness, Joseph Spent All Of His Life Prowling In The Woods And Hunting Its Animals. On One Seemingly Normal Day, Joseph Was Out Stalking A Deer When He Saw A Bright Circle Of Light From Far Throughout The Trees. Believing It To Be A Ghost Or A Mythical Creature, Joseph Immediately Chased The Circle As Curiosity Got The Better Of Him.

He Eventually Caught Up To The Light, But He Soon Discovered That The Light Was Merely A Lantern Being Held By A Young Adult With A Dog Next To Him, However, The Young Man Was Actually Willoughby Jamesworth, The Son Of Johnathon Jamesworth III, Who Was The King Of The Jamesworth Royal Family.And The Dog That Was Next To Him Was Great Max, One Of The Pets Belonging To Willoughby And The Royal Jamesworth Family.

When Great Max Saw Joseph, He Unexpectedly Attacked Him Because He Thought He Was A Threat To Willoughby. As The Dog Knocked Him Into The Ground And Bit His Shoulder, Joseph's Hunter Instinct Kicked In And He Pulled A Shotgun From His Back And Shot The Dog Straight In The Jaw, Killing Him Instantly. Willoughby Ran Away Screaming And Crying In Terror, While Joseph Returned Back To The Wilderness, Seemingly Unfazed.

A Few Weeks Went By And Willoughby Was Plotting For Revenge. Behind His Fathers Back, He Hired A Group Of Thugs To Kill Joseph, But He Insisted That They Kill Him By Unleashing A Pack Of Hungry Wolves On Him, Seeing As Joseph Killed His Beloved Dog, It Would Only Be Fit In The Name Of Revenge For Joseph To Be Killed By Canines. The Thugs Tracked Down Joseph And Broke Into His Cabin,He Tried To Defend Himself With The Weapons He Had But The Thugs Were Simply Too Many, They Overpowered Him And Beat him Into A Pulp And Then Proceeded To Torture Him For Hours Long While Telling Him That ''The Jamesworth Family Sends Their Regards''.

As Time Went By, The Thugs Grabbed The Bloody, Beaten Up Joseph And Threw Him Infront Of His Cabin Before Finally Unleashing The Wolves On Him, The Wolves Bit And Mauled Joseph To Death, But Unbeknownst To Anyone, One Of The Wolves Who Bit Him Was Actually Infected With A Mysterious ''Werewolf-like'' Virus. The Thugs Buried Josephs Body But He Was Already Infected With The Werewolf Virus. More than 100 years later, Joseph Arose From The Dead And Dug Himself Up From The Ground, He Resurfaced Alive, Healthy, And Seemingly Ageless, With A Wide Variety Of ''Werewolf-like'' Powers. Joseph Is Now Reborn As ''Nighthound'' With A New Purpose In Life, To Take Down The Jamesworth Family And Anyone Who Stands With them.
