Family Background

The Wolfstone family line goes far back into the history of Ireland.

Although it is said that the "Wolfstone" name originated with ancestors who were Druids, the shaman-priests of the ancient Celts, this can not be proved, and remains a bit of family lore. What is known is that the Wolfstone family in Ireland reaches into the Pagan past of that island, long predating the coming of Saint Patrick and Christianity.

Through the ages, the Wolfstone clan has served their communities by providing Final Services for the Dead. In recent times, they have become morticians, embalmers, diggers of graves, and providers of other important funereal services that most people would rather not provide. One could say that members of the Wolfstone clan has embalming fluid in their blood.

When England conquored Ireland, the freedom-loving Wolfstone family fought with the Finian rebels. Some died, some were caught and exiled, others left the Land in order to find freedom in America.

Wherever they went, the Wolfstone clan found mankind in a battle with Death. Members of the clan were equipped to ease the losers into Tech Duinn, the Land of the Dead - or in the case of exceptional heroes, Tír na nÓg, the Land of Perpetual Youth.

Despite providing an important service in which few others care to engage, the Wolfstone clan is often thought of as strange, mysterious, and dark.

Perhaps this is why Jack Wolfstone is sometimes known as "Jack of Shadows". Jack is the last in his line of the Wolfstone clan.

But the most dangerous are competitors who seek the secrets of Eternium Fluid.
