Wolverine

Logan is pretty much a nobody in the public eye, he's a drifter and barfly the only thing some people may know of him is he's also something of a street fighter, not quite well known enough to be avoided, but considered good.

Logan a.k.a. Wolverine known to most government organizations, he's generally a known mutant and considered a world class black ops operative, although it's been reported that he'd fallen off the grid for a while, and is now no longer active for anyone, it can be presumed he's a high level clearance file, and that most government agencies are keeping a file on him.

Background
The life of the man known as Logan is one of secrets and mystery, dating back more than a century it's possible that no one alive knows all of the details of his life. Born in Canada some time in the nineteenth century to John and Elizabeth Howlett the child that would be known for most of his life as Logan would be named James and far from the near perfect survivor that he'd later become. In fact as a child James would be an incredibly sickly child, with regular fits during which he'd be bed ridden. Having lost a child Elizabeth would prove to be withdrawn and even somewhat unstable, yet John Howlett was a kind and loving man who seeing that his son had so little freedom decided to hire a companion for James, he'd pick a young lady from a nearby village by the name of Rose.

Rose would be incredibly good for James, helping to lift his spirits greatly, which in turn would seem to help his health, before long Rose and James would begin to play regularly outside, it was here that they'd meet the child they'd know only as Dog, the son of the Groundskeeper Thomas Logan Dog would be a withdrawn boy, although he'd form a friendship with the other two children and for a time the trio would be happy together.

Thomas Logan was a drunk who was regularly abusive to Dog, it would be this that would turn things bad, the more abuse Dog took the less he'd interact with his friends, until he'd withdrawn completely, for a time it would seem that Rose and James had merely lost a friend. Eventually however Dog would become more aggressive and abusive himself, until he became so bad as to kill James' puppy and assault Rose. The whole event would hit James hard causing the child's health to once again fail. This would be the last straw for John Howlett who with some motivation from his own father would fire Thomas Logan for being unable to control his son.

Thomas would lose what little self-control he possessed when he was fired, getting his son and a couple of guns he'd march up to the manor and demand to take Elizabeth with him, it would be his claim that they'd had a long term affair and that he loved her. Hearing the noise the now bed ridden James would wander into his parents room in time to see Thomas Logan shoot his father. In a fit of rage James would attack Thomas, it would be at this point that his mutant powers would begin to appear at first in the form of his claws, which he'd use to kill Thomas and seriously scar Dog.

Following the attack he'd be disowned by his mother who'd imply that something similar had happened to her first child, chased out of the house this would be the first time James' memory was ever shattered. Told to leave and never return by his Grandfather James and Rose would run as far as they could; during this time James would thrive, his mutant powers healing not only his wounds, but also his illness, and making him much more physically capable than he'd ever been before. Eventually they'd arrive in a mining community, it would be here that James would first go by the name Logan.

Logan would be bullied at first, small and weak the cook would pick him as a target, it was only the mine foreman Smitty who saw Logan through this time, taking on Rose to help administer the site and taking young Logan under his wing within a few years Logan would go from a somewhat scrawny youth to an incredibly strong, tough and determined young man, even if he was still only a small man. He'd grow close to Smitty becoming like a son to the foreman.

As they grew Logan would fall in love with Rose, yet he wouldn't be alone in this Smitty would also come to love her as she grew into a woman. Despite becoming one of the camps most productive members Logan would continue to be bullied by Cookie, still a distant young man he'd rarely talk to anyone but Rose, and even she'd only get a few words from him, yet he would prove to be an incredible hunter purely from instinct.

Logan would learn a lot from Smitty, most importantly it would be the well traveled Smitty who'd introduce Logan to the Samurai, possibly one of the most important points in the young mans life. Logan would become stronger still mentally and physically, eventually overcoming his fear of Cookie, but it would be then that he learnt that Rose and Smitty had fallen in love. It was about this time that Logan's grandfather was dying, regretting having sent away his only living relative he'd send Dog to find Logan and Rose, not aware the Dog planned to kill them.

Having made his peace with the fact that Rose would be leaving the camp with Smitty Logan would meet Dog again and during their fight he'd finally remember what had happened the evening his family died correctly. He'd try to kill Dog with his claws, yet Rose would attempt to stop him impaling herself on his claws. This would signal the first of several truly Feral periods for Logan.

After this it's difficult to be sure what Logan did until the First World War, what is known is that Logan surfaced for a time and fell in love, still little's known of this time beyond the fact that Victor Creed would kill the woman on Logan's birthday, leading to the start of a feud that would last the rest of their life. From here Logan would again disappear until eventually becoming a trader to a tribe of Indians, whom he'd eventually form a relationship with.

Logan would join the Canadian Army just before the First World War, where he'd be assigned to the Devil's Brigade while he'd learn much of military practice the instructor would prove to be a sadist primarily interested in torturing Logan and eventually would be responsible for taking his eye and killing his lover. Logan would serve honorably during both the Spanish civil war and the First World War, after this he'd leave the army for a time, his next known location being as a student to the Samurai Master Ogun.

Ogun would teach Logan an incredible amount, turning him from a high level brawler to a true martial artist, he'd also learn the values of the Samurai and the Japanese in general during this time, find a great love for the land and people of Japan. From here he'd travel much of the world, improving his skills. When the Second World War begun however he'd rejoin the Canadian Military becoming one of their most skilled agents, during this time he'd work with many people including Nick Fury and Captain America.

After the Second World War Logan would spend time working for the CIA eventually becoming a member of Team X where he'd work with a number of mutants, the most notable being Sabertooth, during this time Logan would undergo member tampering to allow the CIA to better control him, this would be one of the reasons for his later memory loss. When Team X disbanded Logan was moved to the Weapon X program, he was selected because his healing factor made him the most likely subject to survive the process of having his skeleton coated with Adamantium.

The first part of the program was to create an unstoppable killing machine that could be turned on or off by whoever was controlling Logan, this was done by bringing forth Logan's feral side, this worked to a degree Logan became a virtually unstoppable when he went into these rages, a release of adrenaline making Logan strong, faster and much more resilient, yet he still retained enough of his skill to be a truly devastating opponent, these rages had always been a part of Logan, but Weapon X made them more prominent and severe, what Weapon X never managed was to make them controllable, by either them or Logan himself, they were simply mindless rages, it would be this that led to their failure with Logan.

Eventually it was decided that Logan should go through the process of coating his skeleton with Adamantium this would prove to be the the big mistake, the process was a perfect success Logan's bones were laced in a virtually unbreakable alloy, his claws made many time sharper by the same alloy, yet the effect was incredibly painful, driving Logan into a feral rage he'd now be equipped with claws able to cut his way through any defense Weapon X could mount, he'd escape leaving a trail of dead scientists and security behind him fleeing to the Canadian Wilderness Logan would bury his humanity deeper than ever living like a violent animal with no memories of his life.

It would only be after an unsuccessful attack on James and Heather Hudson that Logan would be saved, with their help Logan would refined his humanity, and for a time join them in their work with the Canadian government organization Department H, but ultimately he'd leave the Hudsons and Canada heading South to America in search of clues that would help him regain his now mostly fleeting memories.

Personality
Logan's a man who very much lives in a struggle with his nature, he has chosen to walk a path of honour, decency and wisdom, he even desires to find peace, yet this is something that's always eluded him; his nature is that of a predator, his first instinct is generally to attack, he's gruff volatile and often hostile, he shows little time for those things that most would considered cultured, or intellectual, often seeming to be something of a brute, yet he's shown an often surprising understanding of literature, music and even art at times, although how much of this is simply picked up and how much is actually enjoyed is always hard to tell. He often claims to be a monster driven by rage and hate, yet he's shown himself capable of putting his compassion first, he claims to want to keep his distance from others, acting as though he cares little for them yet he has a strange tendency to form strong bonds, especially with youths. At his heart more than anything he's a man in conflict with his own beast, all the negatives he claims and even on occasion acts upon are capable of devouring him yet at the same time the man often shows himself more than capable of keeping the beast in check.
