In the extended cut of the first Alien vs Predator from 2004, the opening scene takes place at the Whaling Station in 1904, 100 years before the main events of the film.
During this short sequence we see a man running from something and taking shelter inside one of the buildings, but just when he thinks he’s safe, he turns around to see a cloaked Predator approaching him.
He falls over a support-beam, and lands on his back. As he scrambles to get away, we see the Predator’s iconic red laser-sights pointing towards the man’s face, and the picture shifts to a first-person view from the Predator’s perspective, moments before an Alien appears and lunges forward.
The last thing we see are the Hunter’s blades coming towards the screen, and the prologue ends there.
All we see of this Predator is one of his arms, and nothing else; we don’t see any other features, or a Biomask, or anything else to identify him. All we know is he is a YoungBlood from the last group to perform the Blooding ritual.
Could this Yautja have gone on to become the Wolf Predator from the sequel AVPR?
And this is him back when he was a YoungBlood; since the 1904 scene is what takes place before the events of AVP in the prologue, and then Wolf’s mission is what takes place immediately after in the sequel Aliens vs Predator Requiem.
Wolf was a battle-hardened Predator Elite, and undertook a clean-up mission to remove all evidence of a Xenomorph infestation in the town of Gunnison after the stowaway PredAlien born from the Scar Predator made it’s way onto a Scoutship, and caused it to crash.
Wolf landed on Earth, and began his mission, killing many Xenomorphs and Humans,
and engaged the PredAlien, but was killed along with it when the US Government dropped a Nuke on the town.
So there are a few pieces of evidence that support this theory, and some that do not.
The first thing we see that could suggest a link between the two Yautja is inside Wolf’s lair on Yautja Prime, we see he has a collection of Biomasks on the wall with his other equipment.
One of these masks next to the one he picks up, looks to have
the marking a YoungBlood would apply to it with the Xenomorph blood.
Suggesting Wolf could be a member of the same clan, and would have undertaken the ritual himself during his past.
And since Wolf is the one who responds to the distress call, he must have at least some sort of affiliation with the clan from AVP1.
Seeing as the Biomask he actually uses in the film does not have the mark on it, but this other one in his collection does, it’s likely a Yautja will mark just the one mask they are wearing then and there during the ritual, which might even be their first Biomask;
and then this mask is then later worn only for the occasion when they are accompanying future YoungBloods on their trials. This would make sense as we see the Ancient’s mask he is wearing in the first movie does have the mark on it, but we never see any other Predators outside the first AVP film with an acid-mark on their masks.
So it would look like this other mask would have been the one Wolf used when on his Blooding ritual.
A counterpoint to this theory though, would be that Wolf has no acid mark on his forehead like the isolated clan from AVP would do, suggesting he may not be an isolated clan member afterall, but then again,
when Scar gives Lex an acid mark, he does so on her left cheek, showing the mark doesn’t necessarily have to be done on the forehead, and then
this is the exact place Wolf had his disfiguring Acid Burn; so perhaps Wolf did used to have an acid mark, but it was on his left cheek area before he got his acid burn, so it was there, but now it just can’t be seen.
Maybe in the AVP prologue where we see the YoungBlood slash at the Alien, perhaps if this was Wolf, he may have already marked himself before this sequence takes place, but then when he slashes at the Alien, this could have sprayed its blood on him, giving him the burns over the same area he’d just marked himself.
Predators are known for having incredibly long lifespans, so 100 years would in no way be too long of a period of time for the Predator seen in 1904 to still be alive in 2004.
This was most notably seen in Predator 2, where it was shown that the Elder possessed a Flintlock dated from the year 1715, showing us, he was hundreds of years old.
Also in the videogame “Predator Concrete Jungle” the ScarFace Predator was outcast from his clan for a hundred years as punishment, and on his return, he hadn’t looked to have aged at all.
On the director’s commentary from Alien vs Predator, Paul WS Anderson stated that the Predators lived for thousands of years.
So the events of the prologue could certainly have taken place in Wolf’s lifetime.
But then on the other hand, if one hundred years isn’t very long in Predator years if 100 years to them is like 10 years to us, then if Wolf was a Youngblood in 1904,
then it wouldn’t make sense for him to look as aged as in AVPR
