When in a tight spot or bad/stressful situation, Wolf will sometimes speak straight Swedish.Most of his knowledge on heisting also initially came from the many crime films he watched instead of real-life experiences. In fact, before his business went bankrupt, Wolf was a law-abiding citizen with a wife and children whom he financially supports. Of all available heisters, Wolf was the only one to have little to no criminal background before his company's downfall led him to meeting Bain and joining the gang.Wolf's voice actor, Ulf Andersson, also voices the crew's helicopter pilot Alex.The Grin mask bears the same references.Overkill Software was founded from the remnants of GRIN by the very same people and would go on to develop PAYDAY, a game about crimes and heisting. The company he founded with his brother is a homage to the Swedish software company GRIN founded by the Andersson brothers in 1997, which, after a client ( Square Enix, project Fortress in 2008) decided to withdraw from an affiliated project without compensation, drove GRIN to bankruptcy. Wolf's background was paraphrased from Ulf Andersson's own history."Ulf" is a common Swedish name, literally meaning "Wolf" in old Swedish. He is voiced by and modeled after Ulf Andersson, the game designer of Overkill Software.He always wears a black suit during heists, regardless of armor.Starting with PAYDAY 2, however, Wolf can be seen consistently depicted with a JP36 in hand, which fits in well with his skill tree's many bonuses. Despite being consistently portrayed as a Technician, Wolf seems to prefer shotguns (which are generally Support/Enforcer weapons) over any other type of firearm, as seen in the many media of the series. After that, his sprite was removed from the website. Likely as a nod to Andersson's departure, his character Wolf was seen holding a bindle on the Road to CrimeFest page between the end of the event and the 6th day of CrimeFest 2015 (the announcement of the Wolf Cards).He will still provide his voice and likeness to Wolf, as confirmed by Almir Listo on reddit but future collaborations, if any, are unknown at this point. Due to his departure from Starbreeze, various scheduling conflicts and personal projects, Ulf Andersson will no longer be a primary member of Overkill's development team and will instead be on board as a consultant for the remainder of PAYDAY 2's support period.
