Biography[]
Harry G. Wells was the commanding officer of a British commando unit holding the rank of sergeant. In 2002, Sarge's unit was conducting a training exercise in the mountains of Scotland when they came upon a wounded member of British Special Forces, Captain Ryan. Harry's team rendered medical assistance and tried to get to a safe point, but they were unable to radio anyone for an emergency evacuation. While Sarge was struggling to save Ryan's life, a werewolf attacked the group and Sarge was nearly disemboweled. The commandos were fortunate to find a young woman named Megan, who was driving down a mountain road, who offered them shelter. Sarge was brought back to Megan's house where Private Cooper tended to his injuries.
As the evening wore on, more werewolves descended upon the home and the soldiers struggled to defend themselves. Several were killed, while Sarge was helpless to do anything. Time passed however and Sarge began to feel himself rapidly healing. He had learned that Captain Ryan, who had suffered similar wounds, was now a werewolf and realized that it was only a matter of time before he would transform into a werewolf as well. The werewolves continued to slaughter the unit until only Sarge and Private Cooper were left standing. Sarge refused to become a monster, so he sacrificed himself to kill all the monsters still inside the house. Tearing open a hose from beneath the stove, he ignited the escaping gas and the entire house exploded. Most of the werewolves were killed, but Private Cooper managed to survive.
