About Lykaon

Born to werewolf parents in the northern reaches of eastern Canada, the pack were in charge of the territory surrounding three human settlements. "domesticated" or "civilized" as they claimed themselves to be. They secretly worked with human survivors during the dark ages to insure mutual survival instead of reverting back to their more basic primal instincts. The wolves learned early on through time just how dangerous and wonderful humans could be over the centuries before the Coming of the Rifts so they hid themselves amongst their societies and learned and grew. Not many accepted this and kept to their old ways giving birth to the werewolf legends and superstition. During the dark ages the “pack” grew fond of their human flock and slowly integrated themselves amongst the humans eventually gaining their trust as more than just benefactors but as allies. However they kept their true forms hidden and anyone who discovered their secret where integrated into the pack as member to insure their secret was kept.

Aided by modern technology the wolf pack secured the borders around the human settlements protecting them from the most dangerous of the entities that encroached on their territory including their feral brethren along with the wendigos and demon spiders. Things got even more dangerous when the vampires showed up and soon after them the splugorth, who had set up camp on the very northern reaches of Maine and eastern Canada.

Things changed when “Lykaon” stumbled upon his uncles dealings with the splugorth to sell several of the pack and numerous humans from the settlements under their protection for the secrets of magic in his power mad struggle for dominance over the other elders including the current Alpha, Jacques father. Included in the list was Lykaon’s lover and hoped to be future mate sending Lykaon into a rage. A struggle ensued resulting in his uncles impalement on the wall of his own lab with a silver weapon designed by his own hand. This was one of the highest crimes in the pack which was paid with exile never to return on pain of death. As the majority of the evidence was destroyed in the fight that was the only option that would allow him to live for his crime which normally would have ended with death outright after trial. The fate of his uncle remains unknown.

Struggling to survive in the wastes of the world heading south he was rescued in his greatest time of need by Aldra the Ancient One, leader of the All Caste who took pity on child and took him home with her to her own dimension the home of the All Caste Assassins. She gave him purpose and a home by training him to become a weapon against the evil that lurks throughout the megaverse. She honed the primal beast that lay within to master the deadly arts of assassination and directed him against their ancient enemies, the vampires, alien intelligences, monsters and demons and whomever else exploited the innocent mortals be they themselves man or beast. It was the duty of the All Caste to destroy these creatures to preserve balance in the universe by any means necessary which would include the death of innocents if it were for the greater good.

Upon completion of his initiation trials and training he was granted the mask of the Acolyte, the symbol that one has taken the first steps in to becoming a true assassin of the order. He would have to complete the tasks of his rank in order to advance but those would be done in the real world.
