Wolfgang (played by Jack Nance) was the
caretaker and Jonathan's surrogate father (and narrator) who saved him from Malcolm when he was a baby. Wolfgang previously a member of Malcolms Satanic cult, harbored the dark secret of the Graves' family for twenty-five years, until an adult Jonathan discovered his father's belongings. Wolfgang couldn't do anything to prevent the disasterous chain of events which led to Malcolm's resurrection. Later, after he practiced white magic, he saved Jonathan once again from death and damnation. Wolfgang and Malcolm battled each other until Wolfgang ultimately destroyed each other and vanished without a trace.
