Wolfgang

Wolfgang Étienne Seryph Lechatnoir Symphorien (aka Wolf; Fainting Couch Guy) is a second-year college wizard and co-leader of the Wizard Dueling Club. Wolf is a transgender artificer who presents himself as lazy, self-indulgent, and florid. He and his twin sister Rosalind are the scions of a matriarchal legacy mage family specializing in steam-powered automation and artificial intelligence. Though the Symphorien family’s closely guarded magical secrets have allowed them to obtain massive wealth through generations of military-industrial advancement, Wolf prefers to use them for exclusively frivolous entertainment purposes.

His familiar and most advanced automaton is Aille (Artificially Intelligent Levitating Libations Entity), an eagle-shaped butler/secretary/messenger animated by steam power and runic coding. Aille is a cocktail shaker and soda fountain and swears like a gangster. Wolf’s dorm room is a popular hangout location due to its comfortable seating, big-screen entertainment, and bird-butler drink service.

Wolf dyes his hair blue as a tribute to his favorite video game series, Metamorphyc Masquerade. The games are a source of personal inspiration and have helped him cope with chronic depression. His wizard internet handles, room decor, and fandom background mainly revolve around Metamasc.

Although he changed his first name and mercurially swaps out his middle names as part of his transition, Wolf cannot change his last name, as it’s been hexed to stay on. He has begun a rune sigil tattoo that will break his magical ties to the family, currently about one-third complete. He also has nonmagical, nerd-themed tattoos.

Early in the events of Wizard Dueling Project, Wolf developed a pivotal friendship with Vlasovite. They have jammed on formative nerd stuff and gender feelings, sworn an oath, started a club, and produced a torrent of gay fiction that shows no sign of slowing down. Wolf is pansexual and has a boyfriend, Max.

Wolf has an emerging affinity for biokinesis, the practice of accelerating biological growth and decay. His powers on this front are modest, but meaningful, because they’re uniquely his own.

Don’t ask about his dark theater-kid past.
