History
Lawrence Talbot was born in 1900, the younger son of Sir John Talbot. He moved to America around 1923, and lived there until his elder brother's unfortunate death in 1941. Afterwards, he moved back to the family's ancestral home in Wales to take over the estate. Talbot met the lovely young Gwen Conliffe when visiting her family's antique store, and purchased a silver-tipped cane bearing the image of a wolf and a pentagram. While on a nighttime stroll with Gwen, Larry attempted to rescue Conliffe's friend Jenny from what appeared to be a wolf. Larry beat the creature to death with his cane after suffering a non-fatal bite, but Jenny died from her injuries. However, the wolf was actually the gypsy Bela, a werewolf. His bite cursed Larry with the same affliction. read more
