May I present Danior Wesh - A Werewolf Urban Barbarian.
Danior's parents are Varisian merchants who own a travelling caravan and are quite well of.
In the middle of a particularly good trade season, Anca and Weylyn Talekosh (Danior's parents) are conned. An old harrower woman convinces the couple that the child is growing into an unspeakable monster. Then she sends them on a wild goose chase to find Professor Lorrimor in Ustalav.
The whole way there, Anca obsesses over her poor child's deformed and monstrous state. This fear and constant worry seep into the child and create in him a natural lycanthropy.
When the child is born, under the Professor's supervision, on the edge of the shudderwood, a werewolf chieftain named Faolan comes with his tribe to bless the baby.
Faolan insists the Talekosh's name the child Danior Wesh and that they keep the boy in Ustalav until his 18th birthday. In return, Faolan weaves a wolfsbane armband for the boy every year to keep the wolf inside at bay until he becomes a man and must choose for himself how to live.
On his 17th birthday, after Danior receives his last armband from Faolan and is on his way home, Danior rescues the professor from half a dozen ghouls by killing both his own horse and the professor's to distract the ghouls.
They made their escape during the feeding frenzy that followed.
