So I've already made a post about my headcanons on ghost formation. The one of interest for Wulf is about issues that can arise in formation when multiple people or living things die at the same time, the same place, and in the same manner.
This causes the ghosts of all those beings to form around the same spot, and if the imprints of post-living consciousnesses are too similar to each other to parse out, they will merge forming a ghost that had 2 or more living counterparts. Sometimes multiple ghosts will form, but there will be less ghosts then beings who died. This is more likely if the living beings had similar thought patterns upon death and very similar life experiences.
While cross-species merging is very rare, it can happen if there's a lot of members of one species and they overpower the imprint of the other species.
Animals with very big and complex brains like humans tend to resist merging and retain more of themselves in cross-species merging with animals that have smaller brains.
So, assuming that Wulf doesn't choose to look like a wolf because he's a furry, he may be the ghost of some guy plus the ghost of that guy's many dogs. Maybe he was a dog breeder, owned a pet store, or just had a lot of dogs.
In order to result in Wulf, the man and his dogs would all need to die at the same time in the same way.
He may have a dog sledder, so hypothermia or getting lost were a risk, but since he doesn't have an ice core that's probably not how he died.
Neutral Moresnet was a territory between Belgium and Germany that in 1908 made Esperanto one of it's official languages. It was annexed by Germany in WWI, given to Belgium and renamed Kelmis, then annexed again in WWII, then given back to Belgium. In WWI the territory was mostly untouched during the annexation, so if Wulf is from there and died during an invasion, WWII is the best option.
He may have died trying to flee soldiers with his dogs and puppies.
Makes sense. Especially with Wulf having animal instincts
Tbh I think his form also relates to his death. I feel like he was killed being mauled by wolves while trying to run.
There's been many theories of him being scientist, being a werewolf, experiment, one that even tried to unlock ghost portals as well helping people escape and giving aid to people. I feel like he was on the run, when alive
