Name: Holden

Gender: Male (he/him)

Job and Rank: The Viscount (also Seeker)

Age: Adult

Height: 39"

Weight: 160lb's

Brief personality: Once a father-figure to many in the pack, lately Holden has been seeming ever-so-slightly... off. Then again, who wouldn't be in some sort of shock after witnessing the birth of a God - and perhaps his excitement is for good reason after all. 

Brief history: The only capable remaining claim to the title of Viscount by marriage alone, Holden took up the mantle of pack leader after the accidental killing of Oswin, who had gone mad. Having already lost his wife to a senseless attacked caused by a bear possessed by Gasts, he struggled to move forward after Oswin's death, and to raise his son. Since then, he has been leading the pack toward brighter skies, holding feasts, fishing tournaments, and celebrations of life for those lost during the brutal winter - trying to keep everyone's spirits high as best he can.

After an initial vision after Oswin's death, Holden has been near plagued with them, the visceral images seared into his mind by the Gods themselves. And now, with the birth of Hadran, he has sealed off the Sanctum to anyone but him and Alvena. A fledgling god needs space to grow, and tempered spirits of the Seekers to understand what it's purpose is...

How to depict/reference:  Proportional, but huge, usually looms over other wolves of the Clay.  He keeps his fur neater than he has in recent seasons, finally snapped out of his depressive daze.

• If your character is NOT looking at him, you can portray him with a lack of pupils and a small red dot for eyeshine. 

• If your character IS looking at him, he will appear normal and cordial, warm as usual.

Name: Leeland

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Job and Rank: The Shadow (Rank 2, Blade)

Age: Adult

Height: 34"

Weight: 97lb's

Brief personality: Despite his age, Leeland is a spry and bright fellow, enjoying his work and life to its fullest. He’s always one for a fun story or a good joke and enjoys being the reason others smile. However, he is perfectly capable of being serious and strict and can crack down hard on the wolves who seem to need it.

Brief history: Born during the very beginning of Claymere’s peaceful years, Leeland is a young soul who pushed hard in his youth to be the best. He showed promise from day one, and Oswin personally took the youngster under his wing to ensure that he remained on the right side of things. With the Viscount as his mentor, Leeland shaped into an incredible warrior and eventually came to stand at his side as his Shadow. He is loyal to the core and considers himself a bit of a bodyguard to their aging Viscount these days, shadowing him whenever he can.

How to depict/reference: Lean bodied, Leeland is the definition of lean and corded muscle. He's built for speed, and while he is a blade, he is also a wolf who loves to chatter and talk. He's vibrant and enjoyable to be around most of the time and can often look a bit unkempt due to his constant work. He is often seen around Oswin. 

Name: Alvena

Gender: Feminine (She/they, AFAB)

Job and Rank: The Learned (Rank 2, Seeker)

Age: Adult

Height: 31"

Weight: 62lb's

Brief personality: A serious-faced individual, Alvena is all about their work. She pushes herself and the wolves around her to be as best as they can, and she will settle for nothing but the best. They live to serve Claymere and its gods, and they will die doing this work. However, Alvena does have a softer side and enjoys telling grand stories and tall tales to the youth of Claymere when they take a break from their work.

Brief history: The youngest of the council, Alvena, was named by the dying Knight Seeker themselves. She grew up in a time of prosperity and general calm among Claymere, but she has worked hard to educate herself on Claymere’s bloody past, refusing to forget the sins of the late Viscount. 

How to depict/reference:  Built thickly and densely, Alvena is not a wolf to be pushed around. They are young thing, but this does not hold them back.  Their fur is often well kept, and they can be found either working with their other Seeker's, or tending to the shrine deep in the swamps of Claymere.

Name: Edvin

Gender: Non-Binary (They/them, AMAB)

Job and Rank: The Bulwark (Rank 2, Shield)

Age: Aged Adult

Height: 36"

Weight: 128lb's

Brief personality: In their old age, Edvin has become a grouchy old coot, snipping at the young and being a general terror. No task is done right under Edvin’s eye. However, what they lack in sparkling personality, they make up for in genius, able to solve just about any problem at hand. Their age has done nothing to dull their eagle eye.

Brief history:  Just a year older than Oswin himself, Edvin was born during Algar’s rule and bears the scars to prove it. They do not often talk of their past or the things they did under his word, but they are not proud of the life they once had and have since pledged themselves and their body to Oswin and Claymere. It took time for Oswin to trust them enough with the role of The Bulwark, but Edvin has since proven himself time and time again, that they would never return to their old ways. 

How to depict/reference: As the oldest wolf in Claymere, Edvin is quiet and a bit snappy at times. They are often to be seen barking and snapping at just about anyone, pushing them to do better and work harder. Many see them as cagey, but really, their just an old, and exhausted soul. They are often a little hunched, but their body is still corded with thick and powerful muscle that they refuse to let go of just yet.
