Wolf the Quarrelsome

Comment comment by NomadSoul on 21 February 2008

I was tempted to say Genghis Khan (because of Wrath of Khan, I'm guessing), but I had to go with Wolf the Quarrelsome instead. I mean, for a guy who supposedly wound the entrails of his enemy around a tree, by his name, at least, Wolf the Quarrelsome doesn't sound all that bad. Maybe he has a few cousins, like Alfred the Irritating, Brendan the Reasonably Annoying, and Clarence the Mildly Amusing.

RE: Wolf the Quarrelsome by LordDilly :: NR8

I love how understated the moniker "Quarrelsome" is. You would think maybe prone to arguing with his neighbors or co-workers, not killing everything he saw.

As for Genghis Khan, it sounds like an imposing super-villain name, someone menacing with possible a cloak or cape. In reality he was a short, bowl-legged psychopath who boiled some folks alive at one of his wedding banquets.
