History
He was born in the town of Drakenburg, in Drakwald Forest. However, his town was destroyed by a one-eyed Giant. In revenge, Wulfhart slew the beast. On that day, Wulfhart swore that no other towns should be destroyed in the same way, if he could help it. Karl Franz offered Wulfhart a position as an Imperial Knight, but Wulfhart refused. Instead, the Emperor gifted him the Amber Bow, a magical bow blessed by the Amber Order of wizards and the title of Huntsmarshal. Wolfhart has since gathered an elite group of similar huntsmen, and has been the demise of many beasts.
In 2501 IC he tracked the Beasts of Telldross across Norsca, killing various other monsters in his progress but the beasts of the warband remain elusive. The Huntsmarshal returns to the Empire in the winter but vows to return to hunt them again.[2a]
End Times
Wulfhart fought at the Fall of Altdorf where he slew Taurox the Brass Bull with a single arrow to the throat.[4]

| The gods have seen fit to populate the Old World with all manner of foul monsters. They've also seen fit to grant me a keen eye and a strong bow to hunt them.
