Elyas VonDrak of the Nightwind Pack

Name: Elyas VonDrak

Gender: Male

Age: 45

Race: Formerly Human, but became a Demon-Dog-Werewolf by infusing the Demon-Dog to his own soul.

Profession: Nightwind Pack Leader

Description: Standing 7' tall, he's burly and built like a tank, pure muscle and power. In human form, he has short black hair, sleek eyebrows, broad cheekbones, a firm jaw and round face, sharp brown-black eyes. His clothes are high-quality navy blue and black linen and leather, with a black cloak. In his transformed state, he is a humanoid werewolf that tends to stand on his haunches, with massive sharp-toothed jaws at least a foot long, thick shaggy mane and coat all over his body, muscles practically coming out of everywhere, sporting sharp claws like a bear and the shaggy tail of a werewolf. To sensitive noses, he smells of human, dog, and sulfur.

Personality: Arrogant, cruel, and conniving, he enjoys hurting others and causing suffering any way he possibly can, be it with direct physical violence or indirectly through intrigues. The demonic influence has given him the black and evil heart of a monster, but considering he chose to gain that power by accepting it, he wasn't exactly a saint before it. That arrogance is justified due to how difficult he is to slay and his influence over others via fear. A love of power drove him to become this, and he enjoys exerting it over others.

Background: Elyas was a regular but cruel man to start with, a down on his luck mercenary who saw the local werewolf pack as a bunch of silly cowards. He turned to a certain mage and demanded to be made the most powerful werewolf ever. The mage performed a ritual and infused a Demon-Dog to Elyas' soul, giving him the powers of a werewolf combined with the perks of a part-demon. In this enhanced state, Elyas then took over the Nightwind Pack by brute force and fear, mauling their former Pack Leader Mallik and converting three others into being demon-touched werewolves. Now they terrorize the hills and villages.

Strengths/Skills: Elyas is supernaturally strong and fast and agile, beyond a regular werewolf due to his demonic addition. His claws infect foes with the typical werewolf curse if they draw blood, whereas regular werewolf claws are harmless. His bite makes victims into demon-dog-weres under his dominion (weaker than him, yet with much the same qualities), instead of bestowing the typical werewolf curse. With his strength, he can bite through steel and smash stone like brittle wood. He heals almost instantly from most conventional weapons, and few things can kill him in a permenant sense. His senses are supernaturally acute--hearing, sight, and smell--and he is a powerful telepath with the ability to look at the souls of others. Many magical spells struggle to effect him, such as snare-spells and bindings, due to his duel human and demonic combination.

Weaknesses: Silver and fire causes wounds that takes longer to heal, as does anything holy or blessed. Decapitation or sufficient wounds with the right means could kill him, but nothing short of that. Spells that control demons might slow him down. Being a creature of Darkness, he can't stand bright light and dislikes heat. To counter his claws, one must take an infusion of wolf's-bane before the next full moon and hope to survive the cure as much as the curse. To counter his bite, one needs an exorcism or spiritual clensing of some kind before 24 hours pass. His Pack obeys because they don't dare not to--they fear being made into demon-weres and/or death at his cruel hands, and regular death at the hands of others is far preferable.

Hmmm.... who was it said, "no god-moding?"

Had to make something that you couldn't kill with just a "mind-spear" or by opening up a bit of the Void in his skull from afar. That'd end the adventure kinda quick, dontcha think?

Don't worry--your magic-eating dagger works just great on him, it's easy to silver-coat stuff, Marcabru's blessing can make weapons very effective (aka holy), and I promise to make him fall after you hit him a handful of times.

Mind-spears are only deadly to the weak of mind, and the expanding void thing is Ro's specialty. I /had/ thought of changing to a fly or mosquito and flying up his nose, and then transform to a porcupine.

I figured from the way the guy reacted in that little RP we did, that Sih will be lucky to get out of an encounter in one piece. No way he'll just walk over the critter.
