Mini Backstory
Damien was born to a difunctional and unstable family, his mother was a well known courtesan and his father was an adventurer. His father never stuck around to see his son grow up and was raised by his mother who wasn't his biggest fan. However when he was about 12 his father returned and wished to take Damien with him to reconnect with his son. After much argument his mother finally agreed. His father took him into the woods and set up camp for the night, eventually saying that he needed to go and take a leak, walking off from the camp. After a few moments Damien heard a piercing howl and turned in time to see a full blooded werewolf barreling down on him. He was bit and infected but his father fought off the wolf before it could kill him. Later he discovered that his father had orchestrated the whole thing so he could have a "cool werewolf son!"
