Wolf O'Donnell (Star Fox)

A scoundrel well-known throughout the Lylat system as the leader of the ruffian gang Star Wolf.

General Summary: His last name, O'Donnell, appears to be Irish in origin and may be a reference to the cultural phenomenon of Wolves in Ireland.

Wolf O'Donnell is the leader of Star Wolf and rival of Fox McCloud. He is the leader of the mercenary team Star Wolf, and uses his signature ship, the Wolfen. It's not very known where he was exactly born or where he lived most of his life. It is also unknown what caused Wolf's rivalry with Fox.

Character History Summary: Not much is known about Wolf O'Donnell's early life other than he used to be the leader of a gang of space pirates, presumably the same pirates that duelled with the Cornerian army at Sector Z in a battle that left much space wreckage.

It is also known that Wolf has been wanted by the Cornerian army for years, because of crimes such as larceny and treason. Before the Lylat Wars, Team Star Fox and Star Wolf shared a long and bitter history with one another, despite mutual respect. It was believed that Wolf had somehow been involved in the disappearance of James McCloud, who was Fox's father. Despite the first suspect being Pigma Dengar, the ex-member of Star Fox that betrayed the team first.

By year 0 ALW (After Lylat Wars' beginning), Wolf and his team played a major role in the Lylat Wars, when Andross hired the squadron to take down Star Fox, supplying them with his "Wolfen" class star fighters.

Shortly after Andross' defeat, Wolf left the Venomian Army with his team. Andrew left the team shortly after this due to having little interest in it, or at least that's what's believed. Wolf, at some point, decided to kick Pigma off because of the pig's greed and hired Panther Caroso to replace him. Wolf eventually became leader of a hideout of thugs that was partly made up of those that deserted the Venomian Army.

Physical Description: Wolf has gray and white wolf fur, his haircut resembling a brutal mohawk. Wolf's pointed gray ears rise above his head. His one visible eye is red, and Wolf always seems to have an enraged look in his healthy eye; intensified by his usually glaring white eyebrows, as the other is covered by a black eye patch. Wolf is also of tall height, being taller than the majority of Star Fox's crew, him having a whooping 1.83m / 6ft of height. Hidden under his white muzzle are his sharp white fangs and he also has knife-like claws. Wolf has a short white beard on his chin and a rough gray tail which has a split at the tip. Wolf has a very muscular build, it doesn't come as a surprise that he is the strongest of all the male characters in the series.

Possibly one of the most recognizable features of Wolf is his mechanical eyepatch, which replaced the eyepatch he used in Star Fox 64. He speaks with a voice reminiscent of a British aristocrat. At the start of Star Fox 64, he has 27 years of age. By Star Fox Assault, he most likely has either 35 or 36 years of age. Since 9 years passed since The Lylat Wars.

Personality Summary: In his first appearance (SF64), Wolf is shown to have a calm and even polite personality, but in the following games, Wolf has become a more bitter, ruthless character. But in Star Fox Assault, it was shown that Wolf wasn't a complete malicious person like Andross is, and its implied he actually respected Fox.

Being a mercenary and an outlaw, his interests revolve mainly around his Team as well as his pay. He appears to have a grudging respect for Fox McCloud, though he has made it clear he wants to one day kill Fox himself. Wolf has a barely noticeable soft-spot for those he competes with. His attitude has risen to the recognizable traits of an anti-hero, making him unwilling to aid anyone for the sake of heroism or justice. He also doesn't seem to tolerate arrogance or unwarranted boasting.

Attire Description: His clothing choices change every entry. In Star Fox 64, he appears to be wearing a brown trench coat and red scarf similar to Fox's. He appeared to sport a stereotypical black eye patch. In both Assault and Command, his clothes change radically. He wears a blue, layered laser-proof vest over a full black suit which bears purple markings, with the addition of both black gauntlets, boots and knee pads, and a metal belt. Two recognizable traits are his massive spiked shoulder pads and his new mechanical left eyewear with blue lens.
