Physical Appearance
Victor has blue eyes that are almost muddied; the color being somewhat muted. He has a lot of Slavic features that come from his ancestry, a tall stature, and thick frame/build. Not overly fond of grooming, he allows his facial hair to grow into full on 'Mutton-Chops', but keeps his brown hair shaved close to the scalp in a buzz cut. A few more notable features that he possesses that tend to stand out are his animal-like mutations, including sharper-and-longer-than-normal teeth, with two pronounced canines rather more like a wolf's canine teeth than a human's and retractable claws of several inches where ordinary humans have fingernails and toenails.

Personality
Victor Creed is a man driven by dark emotions. He exhibits many traits stemming from excessive anger, greed, and narcissism. He rejects and even resists the slightest inclination towards humanity. In many ways the sole driving force of his personality is the basic animal nature of all higher mammals. However, that's not to say these traits are forged completely out of malice. Much of Creed's mindset is evident steeped in the destructive environment of war. Most of his memories are of being in a battlefield. In this environment he relies on a predatory mindset to not only survive, but thrive. His persona is so used to these grim surroundings that he's actually content in arenas that would be adverse to most people. It can even be argued that the coping mechanisms employed to make the mind more adept to difficult situations has gone into overdrive with Creed and that is why he is so comfortable with war and violence.
However, the dark emotions that guide him aren't all dark. Victor Creed was enraged by what he believed to be a major betrayal by Jimmy. This is quite telling in the sense that it shows how much Creed trusted him as a brother and fellow soldier. This is a man he fought besides and by all accounts trusted with his life during the most difficult times in either of their lives. Between the two of them, they had years of experience and trust. On the battlefield even a few years can equate to a lifetime because of the survivalist nature of war. So when Jimmy betrayed that trust and brotherhood, it enraged him to a point that his sole focus in life is to make his victims suffer. His predatory nature, which is guided by intense focus on prey, only reinforces this notion.
Between his desire for vengeance and his outright rejection of humanity, it's only natural that the Werewolf injections he receives from his employers would bring out the worst in Creed. He embraces the ability to out match the animals he hunts. To him all these physical tools and burning hatred are a means to an end. This is the nature of the prey/predator mindset. Fang has his prey and his sole mission in life seems to be the capture and destruction of this prey. If not the wolves, he would find another source of prey and dedicate all his anger, hatred, and strength to subduing it. For this reason he is a very dangerous human being and formidable foe to anyone who gets in his way.

Likes||Dislikes
Victor takes pleasure in the hunt, the thrill of the chase. Being a Wolfsbane Warrior has become his life to the point of him being willing to inject himself with werewolf saliva to be stronger and faster, a better predator. He has nothing outside of work that he invests his time into, so he has no other enjoyments in life. But that's not to say he doesn't know how to have fun in between jobs...he gets off on infuriating his co-workers and manipulating people to his way of thinking. He likes to watch them squirm and make them uncomfortable.
Fears||Weaknesses
He's believes that morality in humanity doesn't truly exists. He has the hardest time understanding anyone with unselfish motives, as he doesn't possess any himself. To him, in this day and age, you can't give anyone the benefit of the doubt so one of the weaknesses he has is that he doesn't trust. Anyone. This leaves him alone against his enemies more often than not. Another weakness he has is his past. Though he'd NEVER tell you, he misses his brother even though he feels betrayed. Family is a sore subject with him and tends to send him flying off of the handle. His biggest weakness? His temper. This man takes pleasure in some sadistic pastimes to pacify is anger, and he is definitely not one who can calmly or rationally debate with you.
Skills
Victor has skills in armed and hand-to-hand combat due to his various training by The United States Armed forces and The Wolfsbane Warriors. He also possesses an accelerated healing ability that allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his body and cellular structure far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human due to the weekly Werewolf injections he receives from his employers. But that is just one of many capabilities the injections have afforded him. The list goes on and on like: He has superhumanly acute senses like that of a Werewolf--able to see objects with greater clarity and at much greater distances, his sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner--allowing him to hear sounds that humans cannot, he has highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent--able to track targets with an impressive degree of success, even if the scent has been eroded by natural factors such as weather conditions, and possesses above human strength and speed. Now, its is obvious to say that while these skills make him above human, he is in no way matched evenly with a real Werewolf. However, it does even the odds a bit.
Should the whole frame of nature round him break, in ruin and confusion hurled,
Victor, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack, and stand secure amidst a falling world.

History
Once upon a time there lived two young boys, James 'Jimmy' Howlett(age 7) and Victor Creed(age 10), who both resided in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The boys were close friends, though Victor-whose homelife was quite a bit more worse off than Jimmy's-relied on the friendship like he relied on air while Jimmy just admired Victor's temerity. However, their lives were forever changed when one night Victor's father came to call as Victor was sleeping over at his friend's home. The man staggered in the doorway, drunk and enraged, crying out a name...but it was not Victor's name he called, it was Jimmy's mother's, Elizabeth's. Jimmy's father, John, then ventured downstairs, leaving the pair of children in James' room to find himself staring down the barrel of a loaded pistol. At the sound of a gunshot, Jimmy raced downstairs to witness his father dying, and his mother watching helplessly from Thomas Creed's grip. Victor’s father released her to confront James, tossing her aside to tell him that it was time that he learned the truth. However, James was far too angry to listen, running back upstairs past Victor to retrieve the gun from his father's nightstand drawer. With a pained cry, he made it back to the bottom of the stairs before firing the gun, the bullet miraculously finding it's target, hitting Creed square in the chest. The man slumped to the floor, and with his last breath, told James that the man he killed was not his father, and that HE is in fact James’s father. James was confused, angry and scared, and upon looking to his mother, she appears to be afraid of him, asking "What have you done?"
Jimmy ran outside, pursued by Victor, who tackled him. James immediately, with tears streaming down his face, cried that he did not mean to kill the man, thinking that Victor was angry about his father’s death, but instead of accusing James, Victor told him that his father got what he deserved. Victor then noted that they were in fact brothers, and they must look out for each other now, and get rid of anyone who gets in their way. He convinced James to not go back inside, that his mother would never accept him because he was a killer and the boys went on the run together.
Flashforward to years later, the boys-now hardened men-had run as far as America and enlisted in the United States Army. They were then moved to be based out of Budapest Hungary. There, in Budapest, the brother's thrived. War suited them both finely. It wasn't until they were sent out on patrol to recover a missing officer that things went south. When their troop found the AWOL captain he was in a transition, phasing into a werewolf. The officer slaughtered every other member of their squad before James and Victor were finally able to bring him down. When they returned to base, the US army didn't believe their story, instead believing the brothers must have turned on and murdered the men themselves, and brought them in for execution on the firing line. Facing down the guns, Victor said, “Live together, Fight together, Die together. Fitting enough, brother." Grateful if he had to die, it'd at least be by his brothers side. Luckily for the pair of them, the gun squad was called off so a man by the name of Daniel Huston could speak with the prisoners.
Turned out the man was a rather high ranking official with an alternative to offer them. He gave them a choice, between being executed, and being part of a specialized team, with “special privileges.” The Wolfsbane Warriors. He revealed that Werewolves were still alive and present today and that the men had demonstrated exceptional and invaluable skills that he took a particular interest in. The brother's, obviously, took the latter option and joined the force.
Flashforward once again a few years further to both James and Victor, fighting side by side on a different sort of battlefield. They were two of the top Assassin's and while Victor prided himself on this, it left James feeling a bit ill at ease. Then one faithful night, his uneasy emotions came to a head as they executed a mission that was decidedly resting in a moral grey area. A group of Fencers-humans who sell and for to Werewolves-were herded up at gunpoint and questioned. Huston threatened the lives of all the Fencer's, saying that he would kill them all unless they told him where the wolves were hiding. Most of them didn't know, and those who did refused to tell, so Huston gave Victor the permission to butcher everyone, who complied with alacrity until James stopped him, turning on his brother and fighting. Jimmy was able to calm him down, as the Fencers escaped, and realizing what he has become, James decided to quit and asked Victor to go with him. Victor refused to leave, and said that they wouldn't just let him just walk away; James ignored him and raced off into the night, evading capture.
It wasn't long after this that Huston approached a sullen Victor with another offer, this one more extreme than the last. The government wanted to test the effect of injecting humans with wolf DNA, just enough to 'enhance' their abilities, but not enough to change them. It was dangerous and if Victor agreed, he ran the risk of overdosing and being turned to which then they'd have to kill him. Seeing no reason to go on living without his brother at his side, and filled with a rage and hunger to kill like he had never felt before to relieve his own emotion distress he heartily agreed. Now he works under Victoria Striker and receives his weekly dosage from her in secret-none of his fellow assassin's being aware he is a guinea pig for something so volatile. He reports to her the effects of his treatment and she reports back to her superiors.
