Before James Bartholomew Hook, there was James Bartholomew Wolfe, oldest brother to Gideon Wolfe and heir to the Wolfe fortune until this wayward son abandoned his station in favor of traipsing across the globe. James Wolfe vanished and in his place, James Hook was born, a nefarious villain that answered only to his own deviant desires. Eventually, his disappearance led to his brother, Gideon, inheriting the fortune of the Wolfe family and with it, the inheritance and responsibilities of a legacy and still James Hook remained a phantom only murmured about among unpleasant company.
One day, James Hook reached out to his estranged brother as the law closed in around him and a deal was struck. In return for a biological Wolfe child, Gideon would bend justice to the will of the Wolfe family and have James Hook freed. James Hook agreed, and within a year, presented Gideon and Ray Wolfe with a new born son.
Maximus was raised on the upper east side of New York, Manhattan, the beautiful and cherished son of Gideon and Ray Wolfe, and Harry was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland alongside two half-sisters, Harriet and Calista Jane. The twins’ upbringing could not have been more different, or further away from each other, while James Hook was a wealthy and established man within his circle of dangerous men and women, his children were forced to fight for everything and anything they had.
At fourteen, the Hook family moved into Downtown Atlanta following one of their fathers biggest schemes. Here, Harry encountered Uma and was recruited into a small and up-and-coming street crew. His early life and adolescence revolved around crime, both petty and generous, amateur and professional, until he was arrested at fifteen years and placed within Juvenile Detention for two years following a violent confrontation with his father.
As Harry’s end of term drew near, Harriet Hook, the eldest of the Hook siblings was unable to have Harry released into her care alongside their youngest sister Calista Jane, since their father had abandoned them two years prior. With no one else to turn to, and the threat of Harry being released into the foster system, Harriet reached out to Gideon Wolfe.
Harry Hook has since arrived in New York City, Manhattan to finish his final year of high school at St. Judes under the temporary care of Gideon and Ray Wolfe. However, it is clear enough upon his first day in the city, that Harry has no interest in the Wolfe name or the high society of Constance Billard and St. Jude’s elite and his colourful background sees him constantly at odds with the new world and new people around him.
