Killian Hawke is a wolfdog that is 50% German Shepherd dog and 50% Mackenzie Valley wolf. Born in the plains of southern Alberta, he came to 'Souls in early 2016. He is currently a loner.

Appearance

He has the solid build of a Mackenzie Valley Wolf but the straight, coarse coat of a German Shepherd dog. Indeed, Killian's base coat color is Makara (#83776b), with an Oil (#201a12) saddle that extends all the way to his shoulders and covers most of his face, ears and then down all the way to the tip of his tail. He also has Mondo (#4c3e30) accents mixing into his coat, notably on his face, the tip of his tail and on his paws.

In his Lupus form, Killian is massive at 142 pounds and measuring 44 inches. He is much larger and bulkier in his Secui form and towers over some in his Optime form, measuring 7 feet and 1 inch tall. Everything about him just screams large, from his broad shoulders to his big hands and feet.

While some might be put off by his sheer size, most will agree that Killian's eyes are perhaps his most remarkable feature. They are a very bright Picton blue (#49a2f7) with lighter specks in the irises that are almost white. His eyes are very expressive, contrary to the rest of his features.

In his Optime form, Killian keeps his mane long and swept back into a ponytail, held together with a leather string. He does not normally wear any clothing, however he does wear a leather strap around his right calf where he keeps a knife.

While attempting to rescue Aphrodite Donovan in March '16, Killian was injured and now has four claw marks beginning underneath his right collar bone and extending upward in a diagonal pattern toward his right shoulder. He has no body modifications at this time.

History

Pre 'Souls

Killian is the product of a one night stand between his mother, Gin, and a nameless wolf she met in the Alberta-Montana region. Alongside his mother and two litter mates, Killian spent his first year of life as a vagabond, traveling around the Canadian prairies and the American mid-west.

During the summer following his first birthday, Killian's brother chose to part ways with the little family, having found a mate that was part of a pack in northern Manitoba. Killian stuck with his mother and sister, traveling to Ontario and ultimately Quebec, where they settled for a while and joined the ranks of a small pack.

The pack was notorious for its conflicts with other packs in the area and things went south rather quickly. Killian and his sister became part of the pack's defense team, patrolling the borders and taking part in combat when rival packs attacked. Killian's sister was killed during one of those battles. Killian's mother never quite recovered.

Things didn't get much better, and after a particularly rough winter Killian decided to leave the pack and venture out on his own. As his mother had found a mate and was expecting a litter of puppies in the near future, she chose to stay behind. Killian has been roaming around as a lone wolf ever since, making his way to the Nova Scotia area.

Loner

Killian began his journey on 'Souls in February 2016, having survived a rather rough winter all on his own. He was traveling the southeast part of the Dampwoods when he met Skoll Haskel of Cour Des Miracles, thus establishing his first ties to a pack on 'Souls [1]. From that encounter, Killian was left with a positive first impression of the Court.

Over the next few weeks, Killian traveled northward and met members of the Krokar pack [2], including Eliza Cormier, Tandy McClain and one of the two pack Captains: August Cormier. While Killian was given the option to join them, he declined for the time being and went on his way. It wasn't the last time he'd interact with a member of Krokar. Indeed, just a few weeks later, on March 5th 2016, Krokar member Aphrodite Donovan was kidnapped by slave traders and Killian was there at the right place, at the right time. He tracked her and her kidnappers and tried to rescue her, only to find himself kidnapped as well [3][M].

Personality

When you first meet Killian, he'll come off as somewhat guarded but not necessarily unfriendly. He isn't quick to divulge personal information about himself, preferring first to assess the situation and determine whether or not he can trust you. He's been burnt pretty badly by others in the past and is a lot more careful nowadays. With that said, he will still enjoy conversations with wolves and wolfdogs that he crosses as the loner life can get pretty, well, lonely.

That's the thing about Killian. While he is mostly an introvert, he does have extrovert tendencies as well. It doesn't take too long for him to make up his mind about a person. If he likes you well enough and believes he can trust you, then you've got yourself one hell of a friend. Killian is trustworthy and reliable, the kind you can count on to always get a job done, whatever it takes. He is very protective of the people he cares about and will not hesitate to defend them if needs be.

Despite his often brutish and unyielding exterior, Killian is a very caring individual. Of course, he doesn't often say it. In his case, actions often do speak louder than words. Killian will never be much of a public speaker, if anything he dreads being the center of attention, but you'll still know whether he likes you or not fairly easily.

Now, it's when Killian doesn't like you that you have to worry. Killian might seem careful and calculating, but when he is hurt or when somebody he loves gets hurt, then all bets are off. He is driven by emotion more often than not and has a very reckless side. He tends to hold grudges for a very long time too, so if you happen to cross him... don't except to get back in his good graces any time soon.
