Facial Features

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Wulfric was born under auspicious circumstances to the Lord and Lady Greythorn, with his mother passing during childbirth. He had a happy but distant childhood as his station kept him more isolated from the other boys and girls his age. The widower Greythorn was a polite and responsible man but his duties often kept him busy.
During his tenth year, his family's lands were shocked to learn that Lord Greythorn had another child. The eight-year-old Catrin, born to a distant lady-in-waiting, was officially recognized and joined Wulfric and his father at the Aldsfoort.
In Catrin, Wulfric found the companion that he had always yearned for. The two grew to be incredibly close through their teenage years, training and learning what it meant to lead. To Wulfric, they were the best of friends and the most loyal of siblings.
For reasons Wulfric cannot, or will not, understand, Catrin enlisted the help of a barbarian tribe known as the Antler Men to usurp their family's lands and kill their father. Catrin skillfully framed Wulfric for the act of patricide and seized control of the fief while Wulfric was forced to flee.
Now going by the mercenary moniker of "Wolf", the exiled heir swore an oath of vengeance against his sister and the Antler Men while searching for answers about why this tragedy unfolded.

Morality & Philosophy
