### Portrayed by

Wildfire-Tama

Alcatraz was a dark-brown male with flecked fur and pale yellow-green eyes. After living a time as a loner, he joined Aryn, and became the Lord of Aryn, the mate of Lady Athena and father to her pups. His family was extensive, as he had three litters of four: Teva, Storm, Raphael, and Lazarus; Nero, Killian, Hawthorn, and Tzuriel; and Imelda, Dyana, Daenerys, and Artemis. He was also adoptive father to Riley, Aivar, Miriam, Daphne, and Neka. He helped to lead his pack through two wars, with Blutwald and Vektren, but ultimately lost his life in the war with Vektren, killed at the fangs of Nimh (with help from Lord Cobra Janus). He was created and RP'd by Wildfire-Tama.

## Personality

* ***Noble***. Alcatraz has very high moral standards, and he expects everyone to be at his level of righteousness. He is quick to point out other’s flaws and can be blunt and hurtful. He believes that the truth is more important than petty feelings. Being an Alpha has made him soften this part of himself a bit, and he realizes now that sometimes it is important to be tactful and kind. He is open to criticism of himself as well and takes what others say seriously. He may not agree with them, but he will at least give it a thought to determine the statement’s credibility as fairly as he can. He may be grumpy about it though.
* ***Impatient and Gruff.*** Alcatraz has little patience for those who act inappropriately in his eyes. He is a very no-nonsense wolf and dislikes sugar coating. He is especially impatient with those who are “too soft” in his eyes, as in they care too much about feelings. If he sees someone sugar coating the truth, he will not hesitate to critically call them out. He believes that the world is turning into a bunch of soft wolves too dependent of their precious packs and blind to the truths of the world. Being a father and Alpha has allowed Alcatraz to gain quite a bit of patience. He sees the strength of a pack and also the strength of being social sometimes. That said he is still rather gruff and can be harsh.
* ***Curious.*** Alcatraz is very curious about the world around him. That was one reason be became a loner. He felt trapped as a wolf belonging to a pack. He constantly dreamed of traveling and finding out the secrets to the world. Alcatraz is quite content where he is, but still does enjoys speaking with others and learning more about how things are in other places, given they are polite and noble wolves in his eyes. He will not hesitate to approach someone he sees who he deems interesting, since along with his curiosity he is also confident in his skills and fears very little. He is always ready to learn.
* ***Proud***. Insult Alcatraz and you may have a fight on your hands. He has little patience for provocation and is quick to leap with teeth flashing. He gets wound up over words, believing them to be powerful and often abused by others. He likes to put those who abuse them in their place. He enjoys speaking about the sights he has seen to others and enjoys teaching others about what he has learned. He has a lot of pride in his accomplishments.
* ***Independent***. Alcatraz hates to be dependent on anyone. As a puppy, he grew up as fast as he possibly could just so he could be out on his own. He enjoys company, but knows that relationships with others are most often fleeting and never permanent, so he does not get attached. The only one he trusts is himself. While Alcatraz still remains independent and often distant, rarely confiding in others or showing emotion, he loves his family and his pack. He is a more social creature than he once believed, and has found happiness in Aryn that he never could have imagined before. He has made many friends that he trusts deeply.

## Pre-Group History

Alcatraz belong to a large wolf pack in the mountains. He was a spoiled child. The pack was full of wolves that were all dependent on each other and were very kind wolves, as it turned out. Alcatraz loved his life for most of his puppyhood. He had two loving parents, two sisters, one brother, and a best friend his age named Gabitrix. He and Gabitrix were the very best friend, inseparable in fact. She instilled a deep sense of beauty within Alcatraz for she loved to lead him off to adventures that would lead them to a beautiful place. And then she would sigh and look at him and say how beautiful the world was. Alcatraz was impatient with her at first, but as he grew attached to her he started to see what she meant. Soon he loved going on these little adventures with her and enjoyed her company as well as the company of the fantastic world they lived in.

But nothing lasts forever. His pack was too open with newcomers, so as they were greeting a visiting group of wolves, they were attacked. Nearly the entire pack was wiped out. Alcatraz survived, but lost his father and two of his three his siblings. He also lost Gabitrix, which was perhaps the hardest for him to deal with of all. Seeing her tiny murdered body by the lake was the first time he had ever cried. He also grieved heavily for his family since he had loved them all very much. His mother and sister were a wreck and Alcatraz grew up quick from there as he existed puphood, realizing the horrors of the world and the only way to be ready for them was to expect them. To his dismay, the remainder of the pack did not change their ways after the experience. They continued to be kind and welcoming to others. Alcatraz was soon a disliked member of his pack due to his distrust to new members of the pack and how blunt he was to the pups, sparing none of their innocence in his recounts of the massive battle that had slaughtered many of their parents.

Alcatraz began to question everyone’s judgment except for his own and longed to leave the pack, although he did not say so just yet. He trained to be a fighter and a hunter for the pack, excelling in both fields due to his ferocity and how importantly he viewed both jobs. But he was not training to serve his pack, he was training so he could have the necessary skills to run away. And that he did, the night after he made his first lone kill. He knew that it must have hurt his mother and sister for him to abandon them, but he knew that she would be fine with the bunch of soft wolves that would be oh so sympathetic. He disdained their foolishness.

He went south through the mountains and settled in the valley of the four packs that inhabited the large plains and forests south of the mountain. There were wolf packs, yes, but there was also plenty of open space to travel through that was wild and unclaimed by anyone with sights to see and many others to meet. Alcatraz has never been more happy that now, not since the death of Gabitrix and his family, out on his own with no one bogging him down or mooching off his skills. Independent, wild, and free.

## Group History

Alcatraz was, admittedly, a bit of a jerk when he first arrived in the Domain. He antagonized Suteki of Chandor, and met a variety of other wolves (mostly loners).

OMG IT'S SO EXTENSIVE HECK
