Lone wolf (trait)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Lone Wolf.

A lone wolf is a wolf that lives by itself rather than with others as part of a pack. Such wolves are usually rugged and strong, by necessity. Among non-canines, this typically refers to individuals who prefer solitude or prefer to work alone. Three rules usually apply to lone wolf characters in fiction, psychologically speaking:

1. It is a person that has lost their in-group, or is unique enough to not have one.
2. The world or society in which they exist is typically corrupt.
3. They abide by a strong moral code.
