Sirus Priam Izanagi
Age: 32
Race: Lycan (Werewolf)
Most people are familiar with the basics of werewolf pack structure. There is the Alpha, who commands the pack, and all respect and honor their decision. Most people view the rank of Alpha as the most powerful werewolf in a clan, and while that may be true in some cases, it is by far not the rule. Most werewolf Alphas lead with wisdom and courage ahead of raw physical power.
Werewolves have come to treat their structure as nobility. Every pack, usually called a family though they need not be blood related, has a leader, an Alpha. These leaders are addressed by the title 'Lord' when in human form, so to avoid any chance of breaking the veil. Among them all, the highest and most revered in called simply "The Alpha." or "The Lord" in the presence of the Veiled. This causes confusion with some people associating the title with a religious connotation.
This title, actually refers to the Werewolf council member, the strongest, wisest and bravest werewolf in the entire world. This position is, like any other position in werewolf society, open for claim from anyone. Should someone believe the current Alpha does not have the strength to lead anymore, either through senility, frailty or any number of reasons, they can challenge them for their title. The Alpha is not allowed to refuse this challenge, though they are not required to kill their opponent. Should The Alpha be challenged, they must be killed, due to the exact nature of the powers of being a Council member.
For the last fifteen years the Werewolf race has been lead by The Alpha known as Sirus Izanagi. He tends to not involve himself too heavily in the affairs of his subjects, only directly interfering when completly necessary. He rules through necessity, since he only took the mantle because his predecessor wished to start a complete war with the vampires. Fearing the extinction of their species if they engaged in such a foolhardy attack, Sirus challenged the previous Council member, and won.
Sirus is revered as one of the strongest Werewolves ever for a good number of reasons. One would be his ability to shape shift. He can assume his Werewolf form at any time he desires, though he will not have the power he would have at the full moon. Another unusual trait is that he maintains total clarity in his Werewolf form, including the ability to cast spells. During the week leading up to the full moon he is more prone to his emotions, as all werewolves are, but he has trained himself quite extensively to not succumb to his wolfish nature. He is a model of strength and stability that other Werewolves wish they could aspire to. His leadership of the race has been challenged twice, and both challengers still live. One of them holds a grudge against Sirus still, but the other is currently one of his closest advisers.
Sirus displays skill with Charm and Offensive Magick.
