Bio:

*Name: Razvan Drău*

*Age: 44*

**Summary:**

Once a man who maintained his image proudly as the figure
head of an anti-gifted group, developed a following who listened and committed
atrocities under his word, now a ferocious hunter of the gifted after being
reanimated after death.

**Backstory:**

Razvan Drău once lived happily with his 11 year old daughter
in the countryside of Transylvania where he had risen through the ranks to
become a lead manager of a lumber company that operated near Cluj-Napoca. His
wife had died in child birth so he had raised his daughter Ana as a single
parent before the re-enchantment occurred. His life changed one night when as a
pricolici, an undead werewolf had forced its way into his homely cabin and
attacked the family. Razvan successfully fought back the intruder, killing it
after an intense fight that resulted in him recieving a deep scar across his
face. However, his daughter received a far more severe wound. Drău attempted to
save her by taking her to the hospital within the city of Cluj-Napoca, yet the
wound was far too serious to help her. Her health quickly degenerated and
resulted in her untimely death.

Driven mad by his loss, Razvan Drău quickly began to spread
hateful and harmful speeches about anything associated with the re-enchantment
event around the city of Cluj. His word reached many, and soon developed a
following which he used to create a small, dangerous force of angry individuals
who had suffered after the re-enchantment and used this group to commit raid on
villages of gifted who lived out in the countryside around Transylvania.

Despite his atrocious actions, the authority throughout
Romania turned a blind eye to the acts. The peace-keepers who resided within
the cities of Transylvania remained focussed on protecting the lives of those
who lived in the cities rather than defending those who lived out-with them.
This horrific band of murderers remained active for the better half of two
years before Drău was hunted and assassinated on a country road by several
gifted survivors from a previous village raid as he was traveling to the next
targeted village.

His body was thrown in a nearby cave and left to rot.
However, Drău returned. Morphed by magic from the re-enchantment and driven by
the hatred he felt in his mortal life, Razvan returned as a ferocious
pricolici. Wolf-like in appearance and demonic in presence, Drău now hunts the
gifted, unknowing why with no thought in mind other than to kill, he abducts
his prey and drags them to the cave where he began his new life and continues
to hunt in death, just as he had done in life.

**Appearance:**

Before his transformation, Razvan Drău was a large,
intimidating man who stood confidently at 6’7” towering above most. Built like
a bull with a low-browed and seldom smiling, stern face to match. The man could
force a cold sweat to form on the brow of any man, woman or child he was in the
presence of, or rally a crowd with the deep but motivational roar he would emit
from his chiselled jaw and rough, dry throat. Despite his intimidating
demeanour, Drău dressed casually, prone to wearing jeans and a shirt that when
matched with his finely maintained beard and slicked back hair gave him the appearance
of every average man’s dream physique. Drău learned to utilise this fact and
used it to gain the attention and focus that he demanded from his speeches
preaching his hateful rhetoric against ‘the gifted’. Despite his alluring
features that drew the attention of a crowd, their focal point lay on the
thick, grotesque scar running down the left side of his face from his temple to
the ala of his nose where it split and had never quite healed, giving him the intimidating
and frightening appearance that caused so many to become submissive and follow
him and perform his malicious tasks.

Once he had become reanimated after death and returned as a
frightful pricolici, he maintained his large and intimidating physique. Even
taller now, standing at 9ft tall with a snarling maw of knife-like teeth and an
insatiable thirst for blood. Despite his new wolf-like appearance he also can
still be identified by his deformed scar that runs down from his head to his
snout. His mind now clouded by feral rage, paired with his large frame makes
him an extremely dangerous entity, however, even though his mind has been
overcome with primal ferocity, he has retained his raw hatred of the gifted and
now hunts them just as he once did.
