Silentwulf's Fursona

Eric Ogden, better known as Silentwulf or Wulf Tenk, is a wolf/malamute furry from North Carolina. Born in Winston-Salem in 1989, and moved to Greensboro in 2007, he has become a film-maker with an "off-the-wall" and "random" style that has previously been featured on YouTube and Albino Blacksheep. Aside from working with videos, he has written music, as well as having been an artist and technology buff. Silentwulf is a certified IT technician. He operates his own website, Silentwulf.com, along with that he and other administrators manage a populated forum. Silentwulf has been creeping his way along within the fandom, yet has expressed interest in attending conventions and furmeets. Along with being a avid World Of Warcraft player, he has also been seen playing Second Life on occasions, as well as Counter-Strike Source, Team Fortress 2, and returning recently, to Star Wars Galaxies.

[edit] Videos

Silentwulf is best know for his "off-the-wall" humor. He started his website back in 2005, and has continued to produce content through 2009. His videos have been known to feature dark or distasteful humor, generally making references or jokes towards controversial subjects. A common trend of his is over-exaggeration, as seen in "The Real Strawberries" or "The Ray Files".

A common misconception is that Silentwulf is a group a people, and not an individual. Most of Silentwulf's videos are solo projects, as he is reluctant to collaborate with other film-makers.

His most popular series, is Funny Faces. While being his most popular, it tends to be the more controversial. A running gag within the series, is the appearance of a character called "Wigger Man", which some feel is a racist gesture. Silentwulf has stated that "The character is meant to lampoon a Wigger, which is a white person acting like a negatively stereotypical black person. It's racial humor, not racist humor." Another common complaint, is the amount of sequels in the series. While most viewers have demanded more then the established six films, some view the series is past it's prime, or that it should remain finished on a good note. The sixth film was proclaimed to be the final (released in 2006), but a petition was started to create a 7th film. A sequel was announced in November 2008, and it scheduled to be released in Spring 2009.

[edit] Silentwulf Forum

During the early stages of the site, Silentwulf created a online board, in order to allow fans to interact. While the board is focused towards the site and it's videos, the majority of threads are created in the various boards relating to media, blogging, technology, and content submission. The original board was hosted on a separate server from the main site. Administrators Silentwulf and Xcxeon, were faced with several security and control issues because of this. Silentwulf was able to obtain a broken copy of the forums database, and worked closely with Xeon in bringing the board to the site's main server. A common trend to the board, is the birth of new furries, due to the influence of the site's admins, and other furries. The forum is home to over 1,000 members, and over 150,000 articles.

[edit] As A furry

Wulf Tenk, from Second Life.

While the majority of his films don't focus on furries, his name is becoming more well known with the fandom. His site's forum, has encouraged many young fans to inquire about what a furry actually is. Recently however, he has been attending conventions and furmeets alike. Silentwulf (Wulf Tenk) is a Wolf/Malamute hybrid (Wolf-dog).

Silentwulf has attended both ConFuzzled '08 in Manchester, UK, with Alexander Grey and Zaishi Mai, and later attended AnthroCon '08.

Silentwulf is attending AnthroCon '09.

[edit] DJ Wulf

Silentwulf currently is a DJ in Secondlife, under his avatar Wulf Tenk. He is also referred to as DJ Wulf in this situation. His shows often feature a very diverse approach, featuring a taste of all genres of music. While DJ Wulf is generally considered "freelance", he is an official DJ at FurPleasure's warehouse dance club.

[edit] YouTube Furry War

Silentwulf gained a key name in the fandom, when he created a video blog (entitled "I Like Furries" in response to a hate video titled "I Hate Furries"), stating the myths and facts about being a furry. While the film gained much praise from fellow furries, it led to a invasion led by anonymous while he was moving to his new home. Silentwulf's MySpace, e-mail and YouTube accounts were hacked and vandalized. This was one of the larger attacks during the YouTube Furry War. His site and forum however, remained safe due to the fellow admins. The situation was resolved behind the scenes and Silentwulf soon regained access to his MySpace and e-mail accounts upon his return. His old YouTube account still remains damaged with all content deleted and, as a result, Silentwulf was forced to create a new account from scratch. While a lot of users and fans expressed rage towards the attack, Silentwulf was shown keeping a calm approach to the attack, not wishing to drag the situation out any further, yet he sometimes jokes about the event.
