Long before Larry Talbot became the latest in a centuries-old curse, the first Werewolf was just a young boy named Christoph from the Swiss-Tyrolean Alps. As a newborn, a ravenous pack of wolves murdered his mother. A she-wolf took pity on the infant, and nurtured the babe until his father rescued him. As an adult, Christoph, despite being a pure-hearted Catholic who always prays every night, transforms into a Werewolf during times of anger, stress, and grief. He tries running away to protect the people closest to him, but no matter where he goes, his curse always follows. As Christoph tries using his curse for the greater good, he finds himself the target of a hunt. Witness the story of Christoph, and the many people who inhabited his curse up until the moment Larry Talbot was bitten.
