Wolfwood's story begins as a child of about 11, growing up at the Hopeland Orphanage. During this time, he befriends [[Livio the Double Fang (Stampede)|Livio]], who is also living there, and the two have typical childhood adventures. Unbeknownst to either boy, the orphanage is run by the [[Eye of Michael]] cult, and it is not long before their representatives come to the orphanage looking for the next Child of Blessing. Wolfwood is chosen and given a send-off party, but notices that his friend Livio is not present. | Wolfwood's story begins as a child of about 11, growing up at the Hopeland Orphanage.

Upon arriving at the cult's base, Wolfwood is strapped to a cross-shaped table and injected with [[EoM serum]]. This rapidly accelerates his aging, causing him to physically grow into an adult in a matter of days to weeks instead of years. Wolfwood is lucky in that his body is still human and his sanity is still intact - in fact, this is so uncommon among test subjects that it earns Wolfwood an "S+" designation as the perfect test subject. Wolfwood is angry, however: he is angry at what's happened to him and angry at the cult for perpetrating it without his informed consent. One night, he breaks out of his cell and tries to escape, but is only stopped by [[Legato Bluesummers (Stampede)|Legato]] himself, who has come to see the "S+ Boy" and tell him that he is to become the Punisher of heretics in Knives' grand plan. Wolfwood wants nothing to do with it, but Legato presents Livio and says that if Wolfwood doesn't comply, they'll drug Livio instead and get ''him'' to do it. This at least gets Wolfwood to back down and do the job, even though he hates it the entire time. | Upon arriving at the cult's base, Wolfwood is strapped to a cross-shaped table and injected with [[EoM serum]].

Wolfwood then signs a contract with the cult - specifically, [[William Conrad (Stampede)|Pastor William]] - in which he is tasked with finding [[Millions Knives (Stampede)|Knives']] wayward brother [[Vash the Stampede (Stampede)|Vash]] and bringing him back to the headquarters at [[JuLai]]. While travelling the desert, Wolfwood is hit by Meryl's car when she fails to see him in time to avoid him. [[Meryl Stryfe (Stampede)|Meryl]] and [[Roberto DeNiro|Roberto]] are travelling with Vash in the backseat, incidentally on their way to JuLai themselves. On the way to the sand steamer docks, the group stops in a deserted village to confront what remains of [[Rollo]], a previous Child of Blessing who did not take well to the serum. This reveals an ideological divide between Vash and Wolfwood regarding mercy and murder: Wolfwood is frustrated by the fact that Vash seems so "soft". | Wolfwood then signs a contract with the cult - specifically, [[William Conrad (Stampede)|Pastor William]] - in which he is tasked with finding [[Millions Knives (Stampede)|Knives']] wayward brother [[Vash the Stampede (Stampede)|Vash]] and bringing him back to the headquarters at [[JuLai]].
