– Villain Vault

Wolfgang is a red werewolf guitarist who is one of the Undead playable villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is part of a group of strong villains called the Doom Raiders.

Personality

Wolfgang takes joy in terrorizing civilians with his ferocity and evil music. When irritated, he won't hesitate in challenging the authority of those stronger than him. He has a short fuse, but seems to care for his fellow Doom Raiders that were captured, referring to them, at one point, as his 'pack'. 

Abilities

Playing his bone harp, Wolfgang is able to release evil music as a means of bringing harm. He also uses his bone harp as a weapon. 

Story

History

Wolfgang wasn’t always a werewolf. He was once a handsome, brilliant musician set to marry a beautiful princess. Before the wedding, he planned to unveil his ultimate symphony to the greatest music aficionados in Skylands, convinced they would love it and instantly hail him as the best composer of all time. But they didn’t. They hated it – and even worse, it actually physically hurt when heard. Turns out Wolfgang had unintentionally discovered the musical note for pain. Being shunned like this drove Wolfgang utterly and completely mad, physically transforming him into the werewolf he is today. With the princess no longer wanting to marry him, he turned to a life of crime, terrorizing the royal subjects and using his evil music as a weapon. The Golden Queen took note of this and realized that Wolfgang could make a powerful ally, if she could control his rage and keep him in line. And that’s a pretty big "if!".

Skylanders Issue #0

Wolfgang confronting the Skylanders.

Prior to the story, Wolfgang had been on the run and managed to evade the Trap Masters across Skylands. He is the leader of the group of Trolls that were sent by Kaos to threaten the Mabu mining expedition to steal their Radiance Crystals. When the Skylanders, Wash Buckler, Pop Fizz, and Stealth Elf were battling the trolls to protect the Mabu and the Radiance, Wolfgang arrived on the battleground to deal with the 'party crashers' personally. His presence was enough to instill nervousness into the Skylanders who weren't prepared to take on a troll army and a Doom Raider, but they stood firm and prepared themselves for a tough battle. Before Wolfgang could begin his attack on the Skylanders, he became distracted by a Traptanium arrow that was shot into his back, fired by the Trap Master, Snap Shot.

Wolfgang then ordered the trolls to deal with the Trap Masters, but was confronted by Snap Shot who overpowered the werewolf and hurled him into the air towards Wallop. The Earth Trap Master proceeded to knock Wolfgang unconscious with a single swing of his two hammers, and the werewolf was afterwards hauled off to Cloudcracker Prison.

Skylanders: Trap Team

Wolfgang and his fellow Doom Raiders were freed from Cloudcracker Prison by the evil Portal Master, Kaos, who sought to ally himself with the villains in completing his latest plan to rule Skylands. Like the other Doom Raiders, the red werewolf was doubtful of Kaos's "protection" (as The Gulper was captured by the Skylanders shortly after being freed) and was more willing to follow orders of his leader, the Golden Queen. As more members of the Doom Raiders became captured by the Skylanders, Wolfgang didn't hesitate to express his irritation about the growing issue, even to the point of challenging the authority of the Golden Queen. Eventually, the Doom Raiders overthrew Kaos and obtained his troll butler, Glumshanks. When a slice of rotten cheese was needed to power the Doom Raiders' Ultimate Weapon, Wolfgang and Dr. Krankcase were assigned to find and capture Kaos, since a Portal Master was needed to travel through time to the era when the cheese would become rotten enough to power their weapon. 

During Dr. Krankcase's battle with the Skylanders, Wolfgang arrived at the laboratory, and instead of assisting Krankcase against the Skylanders, he snatched up an immobolized Kaos and left with him. At Time Town, the red werewolf began disrupting time with Kaos's powers, but was confronted by the Skylanders before he could take the evil Portal Master to the future with him. He then proclaimed that the Golden Queen could have the present period of Skylands, but the future of it was his. Using Kaos's powers, Wolfgang travelled 10,000 years into the future where he successfully conquered Skylands and became its emperor. He created a giant speaker called the Big Bad Woofer, which he used to generate loud sound checks, blowing everything up as a result. If he succeeded in performing his loudest concert, Wolfgang will be able to control the minds of many inhabitants.

WIth Da Pinchy's help, the Skylanders were able to travel to the future to stop Wolfgang and halt his Big Bad Woofer from broadcasting his concert. Wolfgang offered the Skylanders to rule Skylands alongside him as there was no Kaos, Doom Raiders, and pizzas can be delivered in "thirty seconds or less". He immediately dismissed the idea, and declared that both he and the Skylander fight instead. After a musical battle, Wolfgang was defeated and captured, restoring the timeline in the future. Before his defeat however, he was able to send the slice of cheese (which became stinky enough to power the Ultimate Weapon) back to the present for the Golden Queen to use.
