In essence, Rakdos is a loyal follower of Sardothien and Jurgen. He has put his faith into his pack-leaders and will obey their commands without second guessing. However, not all wolves receive the same high value as the Alphas. Due to Rakdos's past with his father; he does not trust easily at all. Rakdos's deep buried fear is that those he gets close to, will betray and hurt him and twist his perception of them. Ever since the incident with his father, Rakdos has put everything into Jurgen and Sardothien. His main focus is the pack and fighting as much as he can for the pack in times of need. Rakdos has what he claims to be 'unquestionable loyalty' questioning his loyalty would certainly cause a fight as he feels he has sacrificed a lot for the good of Sardothien.
Despite being an incredibly loyal and hard-working warrior, Rakdos does have several traits that make him stand out from the crowd.
Rakdos likes to be heard, he likes to make grand entrances and ensures everyone knows it's HE who is speaking, or HE who has an opinion. Rakdos while stealthy and soundless in combat, when it comes to anything else, he is anything but quiet. Rakdos often does not realize when he is being loud - this can come across as obnoxious but it is in reality just his own naive self.
Rakdos isn't exactly a "good wolf" - he has made many mistakes and he has killed and hurt many too. Rakdos is rather unique in his views, he has a dark outlook on life and will usually always opt for the dirtiest option over the easiest or cleanest as he believes luck is non-existent and that you must work hard and fight hard to earn any reward. Rakdos does not take well to traitors or betrayers and he certainly holds grudges. Rakdos isn't afraid to bend rules if he feels it is the best outcome.
When Rakdos gets fired up - which is fairly easy to do if you know how to push the right buttons, he has an explosive and fiery temper. This temper will always get the best of him and result in him doing dumb or foolish acts. Rakdos isn't exactly a 'smart' wolf, he is more of the muscle than the brains, however he does have morals and will stick to them. He simply does not tend to think of the consequences of his actions.
What is your character's views on nobility or authority? Rakdos believes that the Alpha's word is law. He will trust what they say and follow unless he is given substantial evidence as to why he should not.
Does your character care about how they are perceived by others? Do they change themselves to fit in with others? If so, how? No. Rakdos does not care what others think of him. He is who he is.
MOTHER: Fae (snow colored wolf; green eyes - killed in childbirth).
FATHER: Gruul (black male with gray undertones; bright yellow eyes - killed in battle)
SIBLINGS: 2 other pups; both male, but both still-born and not named.
HISTORY: Gruul was a hard wolf; battle scared and horrific in appearance. Gruul was known to many in Sardothien as a beast - he fought ruthlessly and was relentless with whatever task he put his mind to. Gruul was pure muscle, he was all act first, think later. Although he was known to be clever if he put his mind into action. Gruul was a strong believer in male dominance and spreading his seed and often spent many nights in different nests with different females. However, none could stand him long enough to actually take him as a mate and none of them managed to fall pregnant with his offspring.
One she-wolf, in particular, was always refusing Gruul; she was like a tease to him, something he could never have. Fae - a stunning white figure with piercing green eyes. She was of true beauty. Fae was one of the pack's fiercest hunters; she never missed a kill, nor did she ever bring back no prey. One day, Fae was out hunting alone. This was fairly typical of her as she preferred to work alone. However, she did not expect to be interrupted by Gruul who managed to stumble across her. The two began to fight; naturally started by Gruul. Gruul was aggressive and angry; he had been tired of being refused by her. He claimed to love her, although she truly doubted he knew the meaning of the word.
Sometime later, Fae began to swell; her stomach like a rounded peach. She was pregnant. The result of an angered fight started by Gruul. Fae was angry and had done her best to avoid Gruul ever since the incident, but of course, he found out about the pregnancy and shouted out to all that she was with his offspring. Fae was a strong wolf, but she knew that the truth would get her nowhere. Gruul would not let the truth go far. And Fae truly doubted most of the wolves in the male-dominated pack would believe her, anyway. This forced Fae to keep the secret and go along with it.
Months later, Fae went into labor. She was a lot earlier than expected. All the healers of Sardothien had gathered around; Gruul had stood outside to give Fae privacy. The shaman thought Gruul's distance was unusual, but she could see fear in Fae's eyes. She did not want this pregnancy, nor did she want Gruul near her. The she-wolf's gentle mutters and murmurs about her hatred towards Gruul all started to seep out. But, alas some in the den claimed Fae was being delirious as she was losing a lot of blood. Unfortunately, Fae ended up dying in childbirth; her small body unable to handle the large pups. One pup was born successfully before her death - a large grey male. The two other pups that were produced were still-born. Gruul looked at the two deceased pups and snorted; believing that they were too weak and that their death was a blessing. Gruul spent a few moments in silence watching over Fae's body before disappearing with their pup. He never spoke of her to anyone ever again, except Rakdos on very, very rare occasions.
As Rakdos grew up, he found himself distant from his father. Rumors span around the pack like wildfire; claiming Gruul had attacked Fae and that she was afraid of him and the pups; not in love with him as he had claimed. Gruul chuckled at the rumors and never seemed to admit or even deny them. Gruul did teach Rakdos several things; how to be a fierce hunter and fighter, and he even told Rakdos the odd story about his mother. But the stories felt forced and false. Rakdos felt like he was hearing two sides of the she-wolf; one from his father and one from others. Gruul later ignored Rakdos as soon as he was old enough to fend for himself. Gruul turned his focus back on fighting and mating; not that anyone wanted him much after the rumors with Fae.
Rakdos distanced himself from his father and any she-wolf he took as a lover from that point on. Luckily, he never sired any more pups much to Gruul's dismay.
Rakdos focused on the pack and the affairs; he was around the same age as the Alpha's bastard born son - Jurgen. He was well aware of the disrespect and hatred directed towards him, purely for being the bastard son. Jurgen and Rakdos even shared a den-mother and effectively knew much of each other's stories.
A week prior to Jurgen's rise to fame; Rakdos was out exploring the territory when he discovered his father. Gruul was at it again; he had an omega pushed into the ground. The male brute deciding that he needed more sons and daughters and that he would not take no for an answer. Anger fueled Rakdos; the stories were true about Fae. Adrenaline rushed through the male's veins as he launched towards Gruul. The two tussled while the omega frighteningly sprinted away. Rakdos won the fight by a hair; Gruul submitting to his son. Gruul joked that it was all just fun and games - claiming she was an Omega and that was their purpose. Rakdos knew better; his father was just desperate and vile. Rakdos let him go but gave him a stern warning.
The day Jurgen came to fame was monumental for not only Sardothien but also Rakdos. That day, Gruul decided to stand up for Alistair. Gruul plotted with others to take Jurgen down. They believed he was unworthy as he was a bastard. Alistair's true son should be in power. Rakdos uncovered the plot and once again felt rage in his belly. Gruul was a hypocrite and worse; he did not know the truth behind Jurgen and the family tales for he was too busy attempting to spread his own seed rather than the ongoings in Sardothien. Rakdos snapped and had finally had enough. Rakdos exposed Gruul for what he was - a vile traitor and of course; a menace to female wolves. Rakdos told Jurgen everything - from Fae and the Omega, right through to the plotting to overthrow him. Rakdos was not nice; he slaughtered his father, giving him no ounce of mercy. Rakdos viewed the male as scum and was glad to finally wash his paws of him. The two large scars on Rakdos's body are from his father; Gruul's attempts to fight back against the raging male.
