Wolf (Anime)

Wolf (ヴォルフ, Vorufu) is a commoner craftsman who lived in the city of Ehrenfest. He previously served as the guildmaster of the Ink Guild.

When Wolf became guildmaster, he used forceful methods to monopolize business with the nobles. According to Benno, it was rumored that he was willing to undertake criminal activity to strengthen his relationships with nobles.

When the Ink Guild noticed the new type of ink Myne used for her children's bibles, the Ink Guild master investigated and found out from a workshop foreman about "a kid from the Gilberta Company" who had discussed other types of ink with him. Wolf then set up a meeting to buy the process of making the new ink, as well as to see Myne with his own eyes. He successfully purchased the process, however Benno hid Myne at Corinna's place and had Lutz take the contract upstairs to sign. Having failed to see Myne for himself, the guild master used his men to ambush Lutz when he was by himself in order to find out more about the "Gilberta Company girl". Benno immediately called Myne's father and sister who then escorted Myne to the church and she began her winter stay sooner than originally intended.

With his investigation stifled, there was little that Wolf could do. When the head priest and Karstedt began their investigation into Wolf, Wolf suddenly died under suspicious circumstances. It is assumed that a noble had him killed.
