Horizon

Thickly-sculptured, broad and towering over most, Damien's exterior is difficult to miss and often labelled as intimidating. A thick hide of timber, browns and smoke stays even almost all year ‘round - most noticable elements of it being the dark cape enveloping his upper half, and sharply-defined mask of the same colour embracing his facial features.

There is a cold air that surrounds Damien. He portrays a harsh exterior around most and cares little for their well-being unless given a reason to. While his preferred method of bruising another is through words, he will fight if it is necessary, especially in defence of those valuable to him. Individuals fortunate enough to eventually gain his respect are met with a loyal, nurturing and protective creature, though he wishes to keep these traits strictly within his small inner-circle.

A brown bundle of fur born to a starving lone female, Damien – along with his two younger siblings – graced the earth on a humid night mid-spring. Having barely enough strength within her to provide for herself, nevermind her children, their mother eventually decided to leave them behind in the safe confines of a nearby pack’s territory with the hopes that at least there they would have better chances at survival. Fortunately, the pups were immediately taken in by the group and cared for as if they were their own. Years passed and the three had no knowledge of their origins, yet that did not weigh them down. Their home was with the Hayle family after all.

Early autumn had barely settled in when the territory was raided by a group of rivals. Heavily outnumbered, most wolves ran and little managed to stick together during their escape. Damien was able to find his brother, Lestat, however a later conflict regarding what to do next eventually drove them apart. The male wandered into the Eastern Wastelands alone. Months of traveling alone passed until he finally reunited with his best friend and former packmate {Daniel} in the area of Shrouded Pines, alongside meeting {Kumar}, another male his friend had been travelling with. The three decided to continue west.
