He's from the mountain in Canada, the one where Beth died. He, um, used to belong to this old guy who lived there. He trained Wolfie to hunt. [Not a lie, just slightly more specialized kind of hunting than normal.] My ex met him during a hike. Wolfie came here with him through the Door one time, and he stayed behind when he left.

[Emily shrugs.] Lucky us, I guess.
