[b]Bio:[/b] Goldduster first began wrestling as a heel for various independent organizations before joining the furry division of the WWE, in which his most notorious match was against the original Captain Beatdown (a bobcat named Jimmy Plumes), which was intended to end as a draw because both wrestlers would have been out of the ring for the full 20 seconds.  Instead, the referee declared Captain Beatdown as the victor despite the back injury, because while both were out of the ring, the way the two were tangling resulted in part (but not all) of the bobcat's body being inside the ring.  It caused a debate as to whether both should have been disqualified instead of the referee claiming Captain Beatdown was the winner (although the referee also said the wolf had injured him on purpose).  In any event, it led the bobcat to retire from wrestling for good, and the wolf took a hiatus after feeling bad about it, which the storylines claimed was him "getting the urge to look for his lost parents because people were spreading rumors that they were still alive."  (In reality, the wolf visited the bobcat in his hospital room and made amends with him, because the injury was not on purpose; the bobcat claims the injury might still have happened because of the aftermath of a previous back injury.)  The story also goes that the referee retired seven days later "because he could not get his guilty conscience to stop ensuring he would never live it down," and he was never seen again.

While the real wolf came from a family of sports athletes, most of them had been involved in management instead of actually playing the games; in Warrick's case, his father was a wrestling manager (but not his manager).  The character of Goldduster he portrays in the fictional wrestling universe originated as a heel (villain) wrestler, in which his full costume was made to look like a miner from the California Gold Rush of 1849.  This is because the story goes that his parents, framed for a crime they did not commit (it was never made clear as to what the actual misdemeanor was), fled Canada to the U.S., and then became obsessed (for reasons never stated) about the Gold Rush.  One day, they disappeared, and never returned.  Thus, the wolf's hiatus was denoted as him deciding to go search for his missing parents, which he unfortunately found dead, only to discover that they weren't his real parents after all.  The real parents then revealed themselves to him, and apologized for abandoning him, but clarified that the dead wolves were relatives they didn't even know existed, explaining why they had inherited a ton of money without knowing why.  

The whole saga ultimately led him to vow he would avenge their deaths, which he would go on to do after making a heel-face turn, and making amends with Captain Beatdown.  Also, similar to the Dog of Doom, Warrick kept using the name Goldduster in order to help the audience identify him easier, even though he was a new and reformed Goldduster.  The decision was made to use a superhero theme for his face character, although traditional superhero masks didn't work out as well as he had hoped.  As a result, while he isn't a luchador by definition because he's Canadian, not Mexican, the mask he wears to hide his identity is a red luchador style mask, with gold outlines along the edges, and the maple leaf in white on the forehead.

(Warrick's real parents are not dead, but the storyline says that as the Goldduster, CNG smugglers mistook the character's parents for somebody else and killed them.  Note that while the WWE didn't allow its wrestlers and/or managers to use or bring CNG to the events, it was having issues with smugglers bringing them to the events, which is why the Ultimate Destroyer, Patriotic Pounder, Takedown Tiger, and Beatdown Bobcat lost their humanity and became the respective lion, Dalmatian, tiger, and bobcat as a result.  It therefore did allow CNG to be mentioned as part of the storylines; thus, this one decided to go the route of saying that the smugglers killed the wolves they thought the wrestler's parents because they mistakenly assumed these wolves were undercover police officers, commenting on how CNG smugglers were legitimately that stupid.)

Super C first met Goldduster at a match he was invited to attend for free as a thank-you for assisting the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in taking down the new batch of illegal U.S. immigrants doubling as tabloid terrorists, all of whom were trying to kill Levi the Mountee Lion and rob him of his stuff again (although there was no explanation why; the tabloid terrorists do things purely out of extreme hatred of species that are not their own, the human race, and they never have answers when the police interrogate them).  The match resulted in his victory over the Patriotic Pounder.  The wolf then clarified to the Cat of Steel what happened in his match against Captain Beatdown, and how it ultimately led to the "Sydney Screwjob" (when CNG made Bobby Winston the new Captain Beatdown, and the organization and arena ushers made the assumption he had miraculously recovered from his back injury; part two of the screwjob was when the Dog of Doom began campaigning for more unscripted fights in the ring because he was unhappy with the direction kayfabe was going).

As of now, it is not known how CNG got to Goldduster, but because it got him, and because his record showed his legitimate ability in exposing behind-the-scenes corruption in efforts make wrestling more suitable (even though it continues as a fabricated product), Super C added him to the ranks to the G-52s.

Goldduster has yet to wrestle against Luchador Lion, but during his hiatus prior to his heel-face turn, he did train with several other luchadores in Mexico.  This inspired him to use the luchador-style mask.

Warrick can speak English, Spanish, and French.  He also says that because he lives in Montreal, he remembers the Montreal Screwjob of 1997 very vividly, and was very angry about it.  His anger was fully directed at Vince McMahon, however; he wasn't cross with Shawn Michaels, or referee Earl Hebner.

[b]Quotes:[/b] "I live in Montreal, so I do remember the Montreal Screwjob.  Vince claimed that Bret screwed Bret, but we know that's not true.  Vince screwed Bret.  I don't think it helps Bret was portrayed as an anti-American Canadian nationalist.  There's no reason for us to hate our neighbors, is there?" (talking to Super C)
"No; I don't know if Canada has ever forgiven Vince and Shawn for the fact Bret lost that match.  However, Bret was causing problems; he wasn't willing to lose a match in his native Canada." (talking to Super C)
"I'm baffled we never had a case of CNG killing anybody here in Canada.  You'd think it would have done so with all those people angry at Shawn Michaels beating Bret Hart.  I know a ton of people died over in the UK because they booed Shawn after he beat British Bulldog, and did so to the point they littered the ring with trash." (when talking to Super C; the Cat of Steel then confirmed that the littering was why CNG killed all those people)
"I'm the Goldduster because I used to be a modern-day 49er, so to speak.  In other words, I looked like a forty-niner from the California Gold Rush, but that was just paying tribute to my ancestors that had immigrated there to look for gold.  They found only dust, and after a while, they gave up and returned to Canada." (talking to the press)
"I'm sorry, Jimmy.  I guess I went about that all wrong.  I wasn't trying to hurt you.  Then again, was your back already in trouble?" (when apologizing to the original Captain Beatdown)
