Balthazar Wolf, also known as Big Bad Wolf, was the head chef at Q3, a restaurant owned by Madison Queller and season 6 winner of Kitchen Wars. He was murdered by his former foster brother David Nicolaides because Wolf got involved with David's girlfriend, Cecily Burkett, and got her pregnant. When learning of Cecily's pregnancy, Wolf took $15,000 out of his account to purchase an engagement ring for her and went to break his contract with Madison at Q3 so he could leave. Wolf was doused in LN2, better known as liquid nitrogen, so he froze to death.
