Mr. Wild is an Ogre Farwalker. He was a simple-minded teenager in the mid 1920’s in the mining community of Boulder, CO, when he was taken by a True Fae known as the Operator. The Operator is a slave driver and child merchant who uses whatever means he can to turn a profit and increase his power. Mr. Wild was used as a Farwalker to patrol the wilds of the Hedge, as well as to make forays into the real world to kidnap children and take them to what he was told would be a better life, away from his hated mines. He did this for several decades before finally and accidentally stumbling upon the fate of one of his “rescued” children.

In this time, Mr. Wild has forgotten his given name, and has since pledged to himself to use his knowledge of the Hedge and amassed wealth as an inadvertant slave trader to save and protect children from both the Hedge, as well as the True Fae. He regards himself as having no name, but allows himself to be called “Mr. Wild” from a nickname a recently saved child gave him based on the Maurice Sendack’s “Where the Wild Things Are”.

His Mask is that of a large (7’2", 225lbs), bearded, homeless twenty-something, with abnormally kind blue eyes. He is soft-spoken, kind, and simple-minded. His mien is a large, shaggy, stooped-over beast with ram’s horns, a canine tail, and tiny, useless bat’s wings.
He has devoted his life to protecting children from the fate he was subjected to, as well as recompense for the children he was tricked into stealing into the world of the Fae. Although gentle, Mr. Wild will become enraged and potentially violent if anything prevents him from helping his children, although he refuses to kill anything or anyone.

In Boulder, he is one of the many eccentric and odd-looking homeless folks living in or around the Boulder creek. He has taken up partial residence next to a Hedge gate located underneath a bridge near Canyon and 9th st; the gate seeming like a mural of the wilderness under the bridge. The rest of his time is spent in his Hollow inside the Hedge, The Hotel Seraphim, a large and decrepit hotel that may itself be sentient.

In Boulder, the people he has that resemble friends are his social worker, an ensorcelled human named Julie Winter, who takes care of the children he saves, and feeds him the hope which fuels his Glamour. Also, Officer Martin Cogworks, an Elemental Manikin, Mr. Wild’s connection to Dawn Court and a member of Boulder PD.

Mr. Wild is afraid of cars and under no circumstances whatsoever will he ride in them.
