The Heap
The Heap [Baron Eric von Emmelman] (origin re-cap with added details]; Baron von Emmelman (flashback, death); Count Bartos (death); Franz Bartos (villain, son of the Count, a werewolf, death)
Count Bartos is angry at his son because he will not go out and hunt wolves as he has done before. However, Franz claims the wolf they are after is a werewolf! Franz agrees to the hunt and faces the creature which bites him before the werewolf is killed. A few years later, the Baron and Franz are in the same air squadron, and Franz, at first, refuses to fly because of a full moon. When he does and crashes, the Baron sees a wolf at the controls.....and seconds later is shot down. Many years later, the Heap is drawn to Hungary and seeks out the Count's son, and later destroying him.
