Wendigo is the product of a mystical curse which causes anyone that ingests the flesh of another human, while within the wilderness, to transform into the beast.

Several people have been afflicted with the curse of the Wendigo, including Paul Cartier, Georges Baptiste, Francois Lartigue, Lorenzo and most recently a sorcerer named Mauvais.

Even though each Wendigo was once a human being, in most cases very little is left of the person it once was. It is relatively unintelligent and, with the exception of brief and rare instances, is unable to remember things about its former life. It also lacks the ability to speak, except for its own name. Sorcerers such as Mauvais and Lorenzo have been able to avoid this aspect of the curse, using magic to gain the power of the Wendigo while keeping their intelligence and the power of speech. While the curse used to only affect one person at a time it now seems to have become more like a pandemic.

Powers and Abilities

Aside from its vast strength, the tissues of the Wendigo body are considerably stronger than those of a human being. The Wendigo body can resist high caliber machine gun bullets without sustaining injury. If it is injured, it can recover from the physical trauma with tremendous speed and efficiency.

The Wendigo's fingers and toes are tipped with razor sharp, retractable claws that are capable of piercing most conventional materials, due to a combination of the sharpness of the claws and the Wendigo's massive physical strength.

The Wendigo can only die if its heart is removed from its body. The consumption of the removed heart will confer all powers and even the form of the Wendigo on whomever consumes it.
