Appearance: Lupus' true human form is rarely ever seen, but if he does choose to appear as such, he is very small and lean, wears very loose slate gray trousers, an untucked long sleeved gray shirt and gray waistcoat. He displays an air of peace, yet his features are generally marred with melancholy, one of the reasons why is hardly found in his human body. He is more often than not seen in his full wolf form, if seen at all.
Background: Lupus is one of the last surviving 'true' werewolves in existance. The others are of unions between lycanthropes and humans, not between their own race. Born a month premature of his littermates, Lupus barely survived the harsh climate of the Mawhonican winter, when the Astorian territory was still split between the humans and the lycanthropes, and was the outcast of his family for his small size and lack of physical combat skills. He more than makes up for it, however; with his ability to become whatever object or person he sets his mind to. Though a brilliant strategist, Lupus abhores violence and will avoid confrontation and conflict whenever possible. He was trained by a master of the magical arts within the Mawhonican capital of Ashka-Matei and accepted into their clan, the Loup Garou, the only clan within the entire nation capable of comprehending and using magic. His age is essentially lost even to him, he's been around longer than Atticus and can easily remember when the planet was sanctioned off into kingdoms and empires instead of the territories of warlords, he is the last surviving life form to have witnessed global peace.
Strengths: The ability to shift his form makes Lupus impossible to find and capture if he is forced to flee. He also has an non-elemental base of the chemical element Mercury and can liquify his body, becoming something as simple as a puddle of water, an icicle, or even a drop of rain.
Weaknesses: Physical attacks. His weak body makes Lupus susseptable to outright pummeling, thus his preference to flee or simply disappear from sight.
Other: Though physically weak, he can defend himself adeptly with his quarterstave. A gift from his mentor in the Loup Garou, the stave is only two inches in diameter while five feet in length. It's crafted from ash and is further strengthened by three inch silver bands that line the stave's shaft in four inch incriments. His chemical element also makes him immune to the lycanthropic weakness to silver, a developement that would have made Lupus one of the most deadly werewolves in existance could he stand violence. He also has a child, kept well hidden, and along with his heir, they are the only remaining 'true' lycanthropes left on the planet.

Limit Skills
Lupus' howls can be used in any three of his physical, personal transformations, his voice carries in human form as well as is does in his wolf body.
I: Howl of Mourning: this is a mournful howl intended to create a moment of peace, during which time enemies have the opportunity to think about who they're fighting and why they're fighting. Lupus inflicts the status effects of sadness and silence, halting any and all combatants on a battlefield by touching their inner grief.
II: Howl of Regret: this powerful howl triggers an overwhelming sense of wrongness in the minds of his oncoming opponent(s). Second guessing their intentions and even past deeds, his would be enemy(s) will stop and most often return to where they came from.
III: Howl of Loneliness: this howl triggers sudden and extreme self-doubt in his approaching opponent(s), and a feeling of being utterly alone even amongst companions will set in for a non-exact amount of time.
IV: Howl of Hopelessness: this howl draws upon his opponent's doubts once again and draws them forth, creating an air of uselessness about an entire battle and will halt all forms of attack for a period of one hour.
Guardian Stats
Trix: an angel in the guise of a snow leopard. Trix's main skill is her ability to temporarily paralyze anyone who gets near Lupus with the intent to injure him.
Her skill: "Paralyzin' Eyes", requires something as simple as a small glimpse of even one personal belonging of the victim in question, then she uses it to create a link into their mind. Once the link is traveled, she simply paralyzes that person for a random amount of time, giving Lupus the chance to escape unharmed
