Biography
Warren Roper was an American bounty hunter who lived during the latter half of the 19th century. He was partnered with a man named Mister Kidd. In the winter of 1891, Roper and Kidd were hired by Ethan Chandler's father to track him down and return him to the United States.

They eventually found him living in London where he was staying at a place called the Mariner's Inn. The two bounty hunters approached Chandler and announced their intentions. Ethan had no desire to return to the U.S. and expressed as much to them, but Roper and Kidd were not the types to take "no" for an answer. Roper told him that he could come along agreeably, or be dragged back to his father like a monkey in a cage. This led to an altercation between the three men, which resulted in Chandler temporarily driving them off.

The two men returned to the Mariner's Inn in a state of anger and irritation. However, they were unaware that Ethan Chandler had a dark secret. He was a werewolf. Had they known this, they likely would have thought better about approaching him on the night of a full moon. Accosting him once again, they declared that they were going to drag him back to America like a monkey. Roper kicked at Ethan's chair asking to the air, "We got a monkey here?" Ethan replied, "No... no monkey" and then turned into a werewolf. He eviscerated both men and left their remains to be found by others the following morning.
