Appearance

A scar stands out as Wellington's defining mark, cutting on a slant from above his right eye down across his cheek. Beyond that, he is heavyset and broad, his jaw framed by a clipped, untidy beard. His hairline recedes into a sharp central point, and the strands themselves stay tangled and unkempt. For dress he favors a captain's coat worn over a pair of shorts.

Personality

Cruelty defines him. Wellington feels no hesitation about turning violence on the young, and he went as far as raising a blade against a small Trafalgar Law. That willingness to wound helpless children marks him as savage and entirely without scruple.

History

Somewhere between fourteen and sixteen years before the current era, the Donquixote Pirates seized control of an island where Wellington was present. When Law and Baby 5, both still children, threw themselves at him, he batted the pair aside without effort. He shrugged off the rounds Baby 5 fired from her transformed leg, showing real toughness, yet that hardly mattered once Doflamingo intervened.

As Wellington pressed his large knife toward Law's head, the crew's executives reached the scene in time to rescue both youngsters. Doflamingo's strings then overwhelmed him with ease, leaving him sprawled and slashed across the back alongside many others, unconscious if not dead. His bounty had stood at 10,000,000 Berries.
