Plot Details Leak In Character Descriptions From Wolverine 2

With Darren Aronofsky all but confirmed as the director and the production set to begin in March 2011, things are starting to steamroll for the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

You know what a good way to find out a plot is? Character descriptions - and that's exactly what I have for you today.

Pajiba, via their inside source, has posted nine character descriptions form the upcoming superhero movie.
