AtomicClaws's true heritage is shrouded in mystery and controversy. He was raised by wolves on an Indian reservation in the greater Des Moines region of Iowa. A professor of zoology from the University of Kansas heard tales of a half-boy half-wolf running with a pack of wolves. He went to investigate and indeed find the boy. Young AtomicClaws was taken to the campus examined. After many experiments and tests it was discovered that while AtomicClaws appeared normal he somehow possessed wolf DNA that gave him increased senses and a natural tracking ability like nothing ever seen before in a human. The professor brought his findings before a board of peers and was branded a laughing stock despite all the physical evidence.
In the aftermath young AtomicClaws was sent to an orphange in upstate Maine where he enjoyed watching movies, hearing bedtime stories read to him, and picking apples in the fall. These were good times until he was old enough to go off on his own. He journeyed back to Iowa where he tried to find his pack. To no avail, until he learned of their death by the hands of poachers, the entire pack was slaughetered for their pelts. The pictures of the hunters posted at a local hunting store. A day later all the men in the pictures were mysteriously killed, all of them mauled by a unknown animal. Forensic scientists were unable to determine what kind of animal the teeth marks were from, they were almost that of a canine but possessed qualities of a human.
AtomicClaws went west moving from town to town, until he was recruited by a covert cell of the CIA After years of international intrigue AtomicClaws quit the business and opened a bar in Casablanca, life was good and he felt his quest had ended. AtomicClaws gave away the bar and felt a pull to the Pacific NorthWest. Needless to say Oregon was a perfect fit. It is said on some summer nights that campers hear an almost human howl under a full moon. If you hear this howl do not fear it is only AtomicClaws on the trails with Traildawg not far behind.
