Ian Stronghammer (a.k.a. Revels-in-Battle)
Ian Stronghammer, also called Revels-in-Battle, is a young Get of Fenris Ahroun with an already strong legacy. He served in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman, demonstrating an aptitude for leadership and combat prowess even before his First Change. He's currently the Alpha of his pack, the Roar of the Lion, and an Athro despite being only 25 years old. A mighty warrior with many battle scars and plenty of combat time, Ian is one of the Warders dedicated to protecting the Sept of the Clear Water. He's a man who loves the challenge, where the worse the odds the more fun he has, and a man who has strong protective instincts towards his friends and family. There's no one better to have at your side, and no one worse to have as an enemy.

Personal history
Ian was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 16th, 1997 to Kate and Michael Stronghammer. His parents were both aware of their lineage and always pushed Ian to excellence. He always needed to be the fastest, the strongest, the best. Kate and Michael kept hoping their son, born on a full moon, would Change. While the young Fenrir always felt the rage intrinsic with his Auspice, it seemed he would only ever be a Kinfolk like his parents. He didn't undergo his First Change until a particularly stressful gunfight in the Middle East.
Fed up with his parents' constant pushing and smothering, Ian enlisted in the Army as soon as he was able. He demonstrated a clear aptitude for leadership and an even stronger one for combat. He graduated BCT and AIT with top honors and advanced quickly in his platoon. His promising Army career would be cut short, however, after he triggered his First Change. Outnumbered and outgunned, his platoon came under heavy fire by enemy forces. Seeing his brothers in arms fall, knowing he very well could be next, Ian finally tapped into that primal fury welling deep within him. The resulting frenzy ended in the slaughter of all enemy combatants as well as his few surviving members, something that haunts Ian to this day. Believed to be the Sole Survivor of a horrific attack, Ian was awarded various medals before receiving an honorable discharge.
The young man had no intention of returning back home to Boston, instead deciding to make his way as far south as possible. He made his way to Miami where the Sept of Clear Water found him and welcomed him with open arms. Just as he did with the military, Ian quickly earned a name for himself. His Rite of Passage saw him taking on whole swarms of enemies, laughing even as they did their best to overwhelm him. Ian formed his pack with two friends he met at the Sept of Clear Water before adding on two others in the pack's travels. Even the pack itself was highly unusual in that Ian managed to convince a lupus Wendigo to join even with a Fenrir as the Alpha and a Fianna as another member. Despite people assuming such a group would end in disaster, the Roar of the Lion became Clear Water's most reliable pack with them all taking important positions in the Sept. Ian and Thoth serve as Warders, Eric the Master of Challenges, Kaniethiio the Master of Rites, and Thalia one of the main Philodoxes.
It would be only a few short months after arriving to the Sept that a kinfolk would begin propositioning him for a child. Under the false assumption there was more to their relationship, Ian was devastated to learn the kinfolk only wished to piggyback off of the Stronghammer name. Still, he managed to convince the mother to allow him part-time custody of his daughter, Lydia. While the Alpha has been studded out to kinfolk at other Septs, Lydia is the only child Ian was allowed to have a personal relationship with. While still far too young to Change, Lydia is Ian's pride and joy.
