APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 96cm
WEIGHT: 135Ib
VOICE OVER: Sam NeillA gigantic black wolf standing at 96cm and weighing at a solid mass of 135Ib of pure muscle with little fat. Jürgen is an intimidating sight indeed. A look his way one can notice the gruesome scars covering his body, his humongous size, and the pale green eyes burning a fire of contempt in their icy depths. A thick inky black coat makes up the entirety of his body. His fur around his neck creating a lion-like mane that helps protect his jugular. Despite his rough appearance Jürgen is an appealing wolf with his "mysterious bad-boy" vibe and rugged looks. Not to mention he's as fit as a fiddle with his muscles and size showing off he's a virile and capable male. Like all wolves in Sardothien, Jurgen proudly wears the mark of a wolf belonging to the superior class; a red streak of ceremonial warpaint staining a streak of fur red on his left eye. Jürgen is covered in scars, the most visible ones are on his chest and back. Claw marks running deep enough that when the wounds finally scarred the fur never truly grew back. Jürgen is also missing his dew claws, torn off by his mother and step-mother.
PERSONALITY
Jürgen isn't necessarily good, but he isn't inherently evil either. The best way to describe him is he's a lawful neutral. He values loyalty, honor, and order above all else, yet isn't entirely opposed to the idea of leaving the weak to defend themselves. In his mind, if you are unable to protect yourself or your family then you are unworthy to even be in his very presence. He has no sympathy for the weak or gullible. Omega's and slaves are a prime example of his disgust and contentment for those who betrayed his trust or crossed him in some way. Neither spared from his displeased and domineering attitude. To him slaves are wolves who had the audacity to spy on him and his pack, to reveal carefully guarded secrets passed down from generation to generation, to compromise his packs very existence. And no crime is greater than putting his way of life and the wolves under his protection in danger. Scouts beware, Jürgen punishes those until they break and become a shell of their former selves. No mercy is shown to these wolves - all is possible and Jürgen can be a very sadistic individual. Omega's are not too far from the punch line either, however, they are still a part of his pack and therefore under his protection. Omegas are spared from his cruel games that the slaves endure, yet they still receive some kind of abuse from him. After all, they fell out of his favor by challenging his authority or disobeying him. The man takes his job seriously, working tirelessly to improve the very quality of life for his pack. Jürgen is a wolf who expects others to follow him without question. Challenging his authority is a sure way to end up with more than your fair share of lacerations and with the omega title. It's a way for him to show the punished wolf humility and respect for his superiors. Family and friends are no exception - sons and daughters, brothers and sisters and even his future lovers could be subjected to his wrath. Jürgen is a rather cool and collected wolf who rarely gets ruffled. He tends to listen first and judge later, though it's not entirely unheard of his explosive anger. In fact, someone can tell when he's pissed. He's calculating In an uncanny way. He understands sacrifice and knows sometimes it's the only way to achieve greatness for the greater good. Regal and well-disciplined, Jürgen tearing somebody a new one is a scary endeavor.
He expects quality performance out of not only himself but his pack mates as well. Nothing less will be tolerated. Jürgen is also not opposed to the method of punishment by example. Cruel, brutal, and purposeful makeup this brutes punishments, nothing is without reason or has some kind of hidden message.in fact he's quite the opposite. Spilling a packmates blood isn't a problem for him. In order to get his point across he'll punish and humiliate a packmate so others know not to cross him. Jürgen himself does not believe his punishments to be cruel, rather a necessary evil he's willing to commit. The brute is a solitary mammal at heart, keeping everyone several feet away from him in terms of relationships. Friends and lovers aren't in his vocabulary. It's a foreign concept to him, something that hardly crosses his mind. His lack of affection and stoic personality make it hard for him to connect with others on an emotional level. All he's ever known is indifference and anger - emotions he tends to express very well. This isn't to say he's an awkward social noob, just someone who prefers to only have deep meaningful conversations than filling the silence with meaningless chatter. This can make him a little emotionally inaccessible, especially for those looking for companionship. Having grown up in a patriarchal dominant society Jürgen has viewed females to be the weaker of the two sexes and as such should be protected and cared for by a male. At a very young age, Jürgen was introduced to this concept by his father and the rest of the males in the pack - even some females, his mother being one of them! However, he was taught by his father that women were to be used for a male's selfish desire. That did not sit well with his mother. She had high hopes for him as the future alpha and as such taught him that the Ardor Goddess Freya gave males females to protect and worship. To treasure and honor for the very fact that they could bear life. She enforced this train of thought into his very essence. To this day Jürgen believes that females care for the unable and care for the youth while living relatively stress-free lives. Males were to fight for a females protection and provide security for them. The only time he discards this code of honor is when a fae is a slave or omega. To him, they dishonored themselves and have fallen from Freya's grace.
Despite Jürgen's bad attitude, he does have a good side. Well as good as one can get with him. He is a relatively religious wolf. Honoring the Gods and following traditions (unless it's Lady Luck. Then that's a whole other matter altogether), yet still being progressive. Despite being religious, he doesn't let it control every aspect of his daily life. That's a weakness to rely so heavily on the fickle gods. Earning Jürgen's respect and admiration earns you his loyalty and he's someone you want on your side than being opposed to. Unlike others, Jürgen's word is his bond. He will never go back on his word and his loyalty is absolute. You don't ever have to fear him backstabbing you or him cowering out of his word. He faces all challenges head-on and with everything he has to offer.
LIKES: his solidarity, the cold, observing those around him, dealing out punishments
DISLIKES: contrary to popular belief Jürgen actually hates fighting, his brother's naivety, swimming, people pointing out his missing dew claws and scars, bad mouthing his mother's honor, abuse of any kind
SKILLS: despite not liking to fight Jürgen is very good at it, he's also a very brutal and cruel wolf; able to stomach punishing others, his ability to track is uncanny, observation skills, his cunning and sharp wits, his brute strength, his high pain tolerance
FLAWS: the lack of his dew claws has hindered his hunting capabilities, Jürgen is often times emotionally inaccessible; making it hard for him to connect with others, his brooding demeanor, his cruelty knows no bounds, his pain tolerance can turn against him
DREAMS: to make Sardothien strong and united, a fair and just place
FEARS: its not really a fear, but Jürgen actually regrets how he handled things with Caelan. He'd never say so out loud though.
HISTORY
Jürgen never truly desired the title and prestige of being named heir and next in line for the Sardothien throne. It was willed onto him, a responsibility he could not dare to refuse. Yet with his eyes opened Jürgen took to the responsibility that was forced upon him.
Jürgen was born to a soft spoken fae known as Summer. She was an apothecary and considered a prized jewel in Sardothien. She turned heads with her beauty and grace and softened even the coldest of hearts with her kindness. She had an air of serenity to her, a persona that calmed and eased even the wildest of wolves. She was one with herself and the world around her. Reframing from taking on a mate and retaining her chastity despite the numerous offers extended to her by the men of Sardothien. So it came as a huge surprise when her belly began to swell with life.
Summer never spoke about Jürgen's conception and instead kept it as a closely guarded secret. A secret that unfortunately came to light when Jürgen was born. Jurgen's father's mate, Kenna, was unable to conceive and provide a healthy litter of pups for Alistar. It strained their relationship as mates and forced Alistar to seek comfort elsewhere. Summer just happened to be that very wolf who warmed Alistar's bed. It was during the festival of Freya, a day of joy and success. When males are to be the most virile and conception is sure to happen.
Unknown to Jürgen at the time was Summer truly loved Alistar. She had loved him afar and in a moment of weakness offered herself to him and while she never regretted having Jürgen she couldn't say the same for Alistar. She was his compliment and other half in every sense of the word. While he was cruel and vindictive and a coward at heart, Summer was gentle, kind, and braver than any male Jürgen has ever met.
One day on a cool summers eve Summer went into labor. It was gruelling and difficult, hard on her slender body. Not to mention by the size her belly grew everybody in the pack expected a large litter filled with males. Even Alistar was there, secretly knowing it was his children Summer was birthing into the world and hoping nobody would notice his infidelity. Unfortunately for all those eager wolves and for Alistar himself, Summer finally gave birth. Jürgen was born as a single child, yet his abnormal size gave way to much speculation, speculation that Summer even went as far to encourage. Those not observant enough failed to see the two extra dew claws. A genetic trait only passed down from the Royal bloodline. Once everybody had their fill of the birth Summer chased everyone out except Alistar.
Summer showed Alistar Jürgen's extra dew claws. To say he wasn't happy was an exaggeration. Yet he was unable to yell at Summer for fear of his infidelity coming to light. So instead he demanded Summer bite them off, to hide Jurgen's heritage from everyone. Summer was unable to mutilate her son and she never wanted to shame Jürgen's heritage, but she loved Alistar and believed anything he said. He was her kryptonite, a weakness she failed to recognize. And so she did it. She was a skilled apothecary, a likely candidate for becoming the next shaman in Sardothien. Her bites were quick and clean. The pup as dark as night only let out a few whimpers of pain and crawled closer to his mother's belly in search of comfort, unaware that it was his mother who had caused him pain. Summer gave Alistar the dew claws as a sign of good will and that their secret was safe with her.
Alistar left Summer to raise Jürgen on her own and returned his his mates side where they tried many times more at producing a litter. Nothing came from their efforts and thus just as Jürgen's eyes heralded the world he was named crown prince of Alistar's bloodline. The next in line king. This was the day that his real hardships started. A day that Summer and Jürgen had a target placed on their backs. A day Summer was idolized and Kenna was scorned. For a woman who could not bear young was no women at all in the eyes of Sardothien.
Jürgen was never a very outgoing individual and despite being worshipped and bowed down to all his life he never let it get to his head. He much preferred his own company in solidarity. And on those days he did crave interaction he spent his time with either Summer or the commoners of the pack. Fortunately Jürgen clicked with two packmates that he shared a den mother with. Serenity and Rakdos, both younger a few months than he.
Jürgen showed a supremacy in battle and fighting. He was brutal and savage. His den-mother noticed his skill and imdeiately nurtured it by placing him with the sentinels. However, she wasn't the only wolf who noticed. Alistar noticed his sons skill in battle and despite being recluse in Jürgen's upbringing he took him on as his apprentice.
At first Jürgen was ecstatic to finally be blessed with his father's attention, yet nobody realized how cruel Alistar was going to be to Jürgen. In the beginning Jürgen went through with his father's demands and took his beatings when he failed to meet expectations. He'd go to his mother who was now named the shaman of Sardothien to be patched up. Summer hated seeing her son beaten down and built back up again only to be beaten down once more. It left a sour taste in her mouth each time the wounds got progressively worse.
By the time Jürgen turned a year old he had the scars of a seasoned veteran sentinel. He was skilled beyond comprehension for his age, able to take out even the most seasoned warriors of his pack. Yet no matter how many fights he won, how many beatings he took Alistar was never happy. One day at the age of a year, Jürgen was banished from the pack until he killed a bear all by himself. He was to receive no help from anyone of the pack and anyone found helping him was to face severe consequences. So for two whole months Jürgen tracked this bear, studied it and learned about its habits. The day he finally slain the beast was a day Jürgen grew up. He had almost lost his life to the bear, a large scar on his chest is a constant reminder of his near death experience. It was a day he lost everything. His mother, his hopes and his dreams.
Unbeknownst to him Kenna had finally fallen pregnant. For the two months he was gone the pack celebrated the new legitimate heirs and Summer was assigned to watch over the Alphess. So when the queen went into an early labor with complications Summer was to blame. Only two pups survived, a boy and girl named Caelan and Viktoria. Furious Alistar sentenced Summer to death, his mates vindictive words only adding fuel to the fire.
When Jürgen returned from his mission, weakened from lack of nutrients and from an exhausting fight he was horrified to find his mother being executed. Right before his very eyes. He was so caught off guard by his mother's sudden death that he stood in shock, yet that shock soon turned to an unbridled rage. Furious that his mother was unjustly killed and never given a proper trial. But what really killed him inside was when Kenna announced that Summer's remains would be desecrated and be unallowed the privilege of burial. Jürgen could have sworn he saw her smile at her punishment. Though the smile fell when she caught sight of Jürgen and instead fear took root. Jürgen himself doesn't exactly remember what happened. To him everything is a blurry mess, an incident with vague memories. But from what he was told he tried to attack Kenna like a hellion, only her guardian fortunately got in his way at the cost of his own life. Chaos ensued as the shock of Jurgen's blatant betrayal wore off. It took Alistar, his guardian, and another sentinel to hold Jürgen down while the queen was evacuated. So exhausted from his previous fight with the bear Jürgen collapsed. It was this day he garnered his infamous nickname:
The HellionHe was out of it for a week, his wound in his chest had become infected and nobody was sure he was going to make it. He didn't remember much from the time in his delirious and fever induced haze, but he did remember the constant presence of his best friends Serenity and Rakdos. They saw Jürgen at his lowest point. When he was his most vulnerable. They saw him whimper out his mother's name, saw him shed a tear for her loss. Yet when he finally came to they never once spoke a word about it. Jürgen was never known to cry, much less show extreme amounts of emotion and to everyone's knowledge this was the only time it ever happened. The only time Jurgen ever allowed himself to be emotionally accessible.
A few days after his fever broke he was taken to Alistar. A punishment had to happen, a reaction to his actions and something suitable for attempted murder. Alistar thought it befitting to beat Jürgen into submission. So one day the entire pack gathered at the Sanguis Corruptionem. Jürgen was to stand despondent, to take his beating without baring his fangs and raising a claw in defence. And he did. He took his father's attacks silently, swallowing back the noises of submission. He would not submit to his father, a monster in wolf's clothing. His silence irked Alistar though and in an effort to make Jürgen cry out his attacks became more barbaric, more bloody. Attacking soft spots and extremities, until finally he called forth Kenna. Everyone was surprised at their alphas actions, but nobody spoke out against letting a female view such a bloody display.
Jürgen was broken and bloody and despite wanting to tear out his step mother's throat exhaustion called his name. The pain was growing more intense by the minute and the blood loss was having his vision fade black. But the pain of what was to come overruled that of his current agony. Kenna humiliated Jürgen in an act of revenge. She ripped his remaining dew claws off his forpaws. Biting through bone and tendions. A wolf who could not grip his prey could not hunt, could not provide for his family. It was then that Jürgen submitted, the blasphemous words leaving his lips before he fainted from the pain.
For a while he was once again out of it and when he came to he was despondent to everything, even his friends. Revenge was brewing in his heart and he'd be damned if he let anybody get in the way.
Life went on, however, and Jürgen threw himself into training. He was never demoted from his title as heir, even when Kenna pushed for it. Yet Alistar refused her every time, to him Jürgen was a tool he molded from birth. He was a legendary warrior. Caelan could never surpass Jürgen. His younger son was smaller than Jürgen ever was and far too naive for the world. In Alistar's eyes he was unfit to rule over a warrior clad pack like Sardothien.
Months turned into years and before he knew it his younger brother was pestering him all the time. Caelan wanted to be exactly like Jurgen, he wanted to talk like him, to look like him, to
be him. Yet all Jürgen saw was a pest who did know what he was talking about, what he was asking of Jürgen. Caelan didn't know what Jürgen was put through. That the scars Caelan admired were results of brutal beatings and barbaric ways. That he blamed his mother's death on his siblings. For If they had never been born his mother would still be alive. And on one particular day after Caelan poked fun at his lack of dew claws Jürgen snapped.
There was only so much Jürgen could take of his foolish brothers questions and after their first scuffle he continued to push Caelan away. One turned into one fight became many more, their sister Viktoria even becoming involved in the brothers scuffle. Another year passed before Jürgen had his last straw of things.
Serenity was being abused by a male wolf and one day when she was broken and bloody Jürgen drew the line. She had tried going to his father, but his father declined doing anything. To him Serenity was doing something wrong that warranted such "disciplinary actions". Jürgen thought otherwise and with his eyes open to his father's cruelty he could only see one solution, become Alpha.
Now what is said next is entirely speculation. It is believed Jürgen went mad and killed his father, it was also said he plotted a coop to overthrow his father. That he was power hungry and wanted to be alpha then. But what is unknown to all but Jürgen himself and Serenity is that he asked Alistar to step down. Only the older brute declined and instead insulted Jürgen. Kenna even went as far as to insult Summer, Jurgen's mother. Calling her a whore. That did not sit well and in a second Kenna and Alistar were mutilated beyond recognition. Viktoria and the two guardians just happened to be collateral. Wolves at the wrong place at the wrong time, following their orders.
Yet Jürgen cannot discredit that he showed the bodies of his family and two pack mates as a warning to those that opposed him. He was the new rules and hed not hesitate to kill or punish those who did him wrong. He could not discredit his vindictive, but logical way of demoting his brother to omega status. Jürgen could not afford confusion of who was the next alpha, but he couldn't bring himself to kill his brother in cold blood.
And so this is how
The Hellion came to his rule, a tale shrouded in intrigue and mystery. No one knowing the tale of truth. And may he go down in history.
