Andras

## Application Sheet

Andras was a gray-and-white male with dark mahogany eyes, a faithful servant of Vektren, servant of Hekate and her first consort, father to Vergil, Damien, and Dante (Hellion). He fell in love with a Valerian named Chartreuse, but when his packmate Aniu discovered his secret, they made a bargain: she'd keep his secret if he said he was the father of her unborn pups with Kaiser. He agreed and became the "adoptive" father to Monty, Belladonna, and Ariah. Shortly thereafter, however, Andras left the Domain, never to be seen again. He was created and RP'd by tisea.

## Personality

* ***Opportunistic and Charming, but Malicious and Sarcastic.*** Andras is a grunt, but an intelligent grunt. He's by no means dim or stupid though at times he comes off as being somewhat 'out there' in his mannerisms and behaviors. He lacks empathy, sympathy and compassion, coming off as more uncaring and uninterested even if he agrees to sit and talk with you. It's uncertain what is going through his mind at any given time, and upon a first meeting he doesn't immediately give off the 'murderous' vibe; one thing that makes him so dangerous. You want a war? That's cool, he doesn't care why as long as he's invited.
* ***Arrogant and Confident, but Honest.*** To Andras, title means very little, especially for himself. Ranking and Titles don't seem to phase him when given in introduction, what he respects are those who are able to put their money where their mouth is and prove why they received such glamorous roles. He believes it doesn't take a title to make you who you are and has clearly proved that in the way he lives his life and the things he's done. Andras will sit and listen if you need it and give advice in return if you need that too (but don't expect him to sugar coat anything), then turn around and slaughter you and your family if asked - with a smile on his face.
* ***Devoted.*** He's loyal to those around him because they earned it or because there's something in it for him in the long run.

## Pre-Group History

Andras was born into a medium sized pack that called themselves "The Bezaleel" ("*in the shadows"*). The Bezaleel was a congregation of wolves that thrived off the carnage of other packs. Situated within the moutains far away, the pack would wander, never entirely calling a portion of territory home. They would stalk other packs, watching their daily habits - hunting trips, how they interacted with others within their pack, group gatherings, how/where/and when they slept. If determined a pack was easy pickings, The Bezaleel would approach it's borders and establish a 'friendly' connection. They would appear humble, friendly and simply there to seek shelter for their young while they searched for "Arcadia" (heaven, or the promised land). Posing as as simple band of gypsy wolves, they would bide their time before striking when the pack was unsuspecting. Generally when the Bezaleel attacked a pack, they slaughtered every soul they could find. Why exactly the pack did this is uncertain; some reasons given are to appease the higher gods and spirits with the blood of the weakest, another reason is because they enjoyed the carnage and rush of taking the lives of others, of playing god.

When Andras was born, he was born without a name as was the way of the pack. Nameless, Andras was taught to fight from the moment he could gather his paws beneath him. His parents showed little to no affection for him or his siblings, teaching their children that the world was cruel and unforgiving. If you wanted something, you had to take it. His lessons were brutal and merciless, and it didn't take very long before whatever youth and innocence inside him was replaced with a darkness that would fester and thrive within him forever. In the Bezaleel, Names are given when a wolf comes of age and completes a right of passage. The rights of passage varied, but always included taking the life of another wolf. The day he came of age, Nameless was instructed to murder the soul who gave him life and offer their soul to the Great Gods. In the following hours of the night, he slaughtered his mother and left her body at the base rocks of the largest mountain, giving her soul to the Gods; while the pack council feasted on her remains. He received his name and got his first mark that night: Andras - The Night Demon.

He met Hekate when she spent time in the Bezaleel; he also took part in a raid which would make him enemies down the line. He was part of the raid that nearly wiped out Gabitrix and Alcatraz's childhood packs. Andras himself was actually the wolf to kill Alcatraz's father.

When Andras father moved up within the pack council, he suddenly found his life a little dull. Raids weren't performed as often as before and Andras craved the taste of metal in his mouth and blood between his toes. He needed more, more carnage, more destruction, more chaos. With a simple farewell, Andras left the Bezaleel and moved his way further south to new lands and new souls. The Bezaleel wait in the distance, always welcoming The Night Demon home, but also waiting to hear of what he finds within the far southern packs.

## Group History

Andras arrived in the Domain and was met by his old friend Hekate. The two had gotten to know each other when she was in the Bezaleel, and she informed him that she was rebuilding Vektren, with a few other wolves of similar interests. Andras eagerly joined the red she-wolf, becoming introduced to Skins, Stallion, Ruebane, Agatha, Veron, Zenith, and Cassidy - these wolves were the first Vektreni in the Domain.

Anders was lost in Deathwallow Pits after a failed hunting party of one, and Andras went to his rescue, amused by the similarities in their names. Andras would come to Anders's aid again some time after, when he was covered in thorns after a his run-in with a Fellfang wolf. Anders ended up de-thorning himself in the quiet of the forest. Andras helped with getting the thorns out, but as he worked, learned some information that could make or break Anders' life in Vektren. He decided, ultimately, to help the Magister, and Anders promised to do his part.

The light gray wolf was guided by bloodlust, which occasionally led to him killing random loners at the borders of Vektren - once, this was witnessed by Gabitrix of Aryn.

Then, Hekate and Vektren were offered an excellent deal by Renier. He enlisted the cult to help him overthrow Faust and take over Vale. While figuring out the best way to take over Vale, Andras was hunting near Vale's border when he encountered a Valerian named Chartreuse. She ruined his hunt, and he intended to do away with her, but something about the spirited little Valerian stayed his fangs and the two began to talk instead. The two became fascinated with the other for their different reasons, and began to walk and talk together. They would continue to have a fascination with one another as time passed.

Duty called for Andras to act, however, when Hekate informed him of a special duty he'd enact in accord with Renier's plans - the kidnapping of a Valerian. Andras found Nyru and beat her up significantly, and took her to Vektren to be held as leverage.

With plans falling into place, Hekate informed Andras that she wanted to have heirs to sculpt to her will to rule Vektren. She told Andras that, should he accept the offer, he would be officially recognized as the father to the heirs of Vektren. Half-teasingly, he remarked that he 'doesn't babysit', but is more than willing to help her achieve her goals.

As a result, Andras became a father to three sons - Damien, Dante, and Vergil. He was more or less an absent father, there only in name rather than presence. But Hekate knew what she was getting into with that. His attentions were directed elsewhere, anyways - Truce. The two had to talk - Truce was dealing with a feeling of betrayal when Renier took over, with Vektren's help, and Andras *insisted* that she should have known he was evil - that he was no good for her. Though they revealed that they were having feelings towards one another, Andras sent her away, unwilling to do her harm.

His reputation as a cold-blooded killer continued when he nearly killed a she-wolf named Valencia. Fortunately, she survived and was tended to in Aryn.

He'd put his battle skills to better use when three cougars moved into Vektren's Thriving Wilds - the main source of Vektren prey. He joined a party to flush the cougars from Vektren land. After the cougars were dispatched, Andras discovered Chartreuse in danger, attacked by a lone wolf. He fought the wolf off, and demanded Chartreuse go home, where it would be safe, and forget about him...but, seeing how badly he was injured, Truce offered to tend to Andras's wounds before they parted ways.

Aniu promised to keep his secret meetings with Truce from Hekate and the rest of Vektren, if he would do the same for her, admitting that she was carrying an outsider's pups from a one-night affair. She asked him to pose as the father, and he agreed, to protect Truce (and protecting Aniu was fine, too). As a result, he was known as the father of Belladonna, Monty, and Ariah, though he was equally invested in them as he was in his own children (that is to say, not at all).

He didn't see Chartreuse again until after the earthquake that rocked the Domain. When they were finally reunited, they admitted the love they had for one another. Andras - desperate to be good enough for her, and desperate to protect her from Hekate - asked for more time. She insisted that they could shape their own destinies, away from their packs and responsibilities.

But he never returned.

And was never seen again in the Domain.

## Trivia

* When Bezaleel wolves take a worthy soul, they mark (scar) themselves on a forelimb to keep track. This is something Andras continues to do to this day.
* Anders looked up to Andras, both as a friend and guide, but on the same note Anders distrusted his friend's motivations. He disliked the feeling that he needs to be protected, controlled, and when Andras states how easy it would be for Anders to be killed (by him, nonetheless), Anders realizes they have different views - very different views.
	+ But he loved Andras like a brother, like his rescuer, so in the end he only hopes what happens happens for a reason. He doesn't think he could afford to lose Andras, nor his relationship with him.
