Lupo is a minor character in the Wild Cards series of books.
History[]
Lupo took up a job as a bartender at the Crystal Palace, mostly filling in for times when Sascha Starfin was not around. He had a good working relationship with the staff and patrons, until the destruction of the bar in 1988.
The years since were not kind to Lupo, and he became a homeless alcoholic. One night when he awoke from being passed out behind a dumpster, Lupo witnessed the kidnapping of a four-legged joker by four men who hauled their captive into a white van. When questioned by police Lupo could barely recall the details, but his statements and the assistance of sketch artist Eddie Carmichael provided some initial details leading to a known thug named Eel. Carmichael aided Lupo in evading capture by the same thugs later when Lupo himself was also targeted by the kidnappers.
Wild Card Traits[]
