“You don’t send me because it’s safe. You send me because it isn’t.”
— Nathaniel Wolf

Nathaniel Wolf is one of PHASE II’s most dangerous and reliable operatives, a field commander and intelligence specialist trusted with the missions no one else will take.

Background

Colonel Nathaniel Wolf built his reputation the hard way—by surviving assignments that should have killed him. From the beginning of his career, he demonstrated a willingness to take on impossible objectives and a stubborn refusal to quit once committed.

PHASE II noticed.

Recruited into the organization as a field operative, Wolf quickly became their go-to troubleshooter: the agent sent in when situations were too volatile, too sensitive, or too dangerous for standard teams. His instincts in the field, combined with a ruthless efficiency, made him indispensable.

In spite of his preference for working alone, Wolf eventually rose to become senior agent in charge of PHASE II’s intelligence unit, reporting directly to Director Sabrina Hellstrom.

He still takes field assignments.

Probably more than he should.

The Sentries

During the tenure of the Sentries, Wolf served as PHASE II liaison to the team. His role often extended beyond coordination, and he joined them on multiple operations, bringing a grounded, tactical perspective to a group that often dealt with larger-than-life threats.

Nightwolf

On certain operations, particularly those requiring deniability, Wolf has operated under the codename Nightwolf. The name has since become something of a legend in intelligence circles, attached to missions that officially never happened.

Skills

Wolf is a complete combat and intelligence operative.

• Expert marksman
• Master martial artist
• Trained spy and infiltrator
• Veteran commando
• Skilled interrogator and investigator

He is also an accomplished gambler and poker player, a trait that mirrors his comfort with risk.

Technology

Wolf uses whatever the mission demands.

He has no signature gear, preferring adaptability over reliance. Known for improvising weapons and tools in the field, he treats equipment as expendable.

Personality

Wolf is intense, driven, and difficult to read. Some see a natural leader with absolute focus. Others see a man who pushes himself far past reasonable limits.

Some say he has a death wish.

Wolf doesn’t argue with them.

Reputation

Within PHASE II, Wolf is both respected and watched carefully. He gets results—but not always in ways that make people comfortable. Among allies, he is the one you call when failure isn’t an option.

Among enemies, he is the one who keeps coming.

Legacy

Nathaniel Wolf represents the sharp edge of PHASE II operations: disciplined, relentless, and utterly committed to finishing the job.

He claims to be named after Dr. Nathaniel Nova.

Whether that’s truth or just another story depends on who you ask.
