**Personality:**

Angus is the world’s biggest hardass, not taking shit from anyone, especially his men and women in his military. He holds them to the highest standard of conduct and discipline and anyone that is lacking is immediately ejected from the military and told to find work someplace else. He also won’t take shit from anyone because of the fact he’s a werewolf. If they got a problem with that, he’ll invite them to fight him with a silver sword, while he’s in wolf form and he’d still win. He doesn’t let the fact he got turned into a werewolf hold him back from being a badass.
Angus is also incredibly loyal to his family, friends and the queen. He won’t let anyone around him talk shit about any of them or they’ll have to answer to his fists and his fists hurt. Angus also doesn’t seem to have much of a moral code beyond that as he’s willing to do anything necessary to protect his family, friends, the royal family, and his soldiers. Doesn’t matter what it is, torture, murder, extortion… any of it. Angus will do it.
His lack of a moral code is what makes him fit into Altheria, he’s not evil, he just doesn’t care about anyone else except the aforementioned people and those people mean absolutely everything to him. They are his entire world and he’ll stick by them till the very end, no matter what.

**History:**

Angus Lynch was born to Donnchad and Rosheen Lynch, a lower class couple from the kingdom of Altheria. Donnchad was a stable boy in the royal palace and Rosheen was a maid, because of their position in society, they were allowed to marry for love, and to say that Donnchad and Rosheen were in love would be an understatement. They didn’t care how they were treated and discriminated against because they were human, they didn’t care how they were barely able to survive and had to live in the castle to support themselves. No, none of that mattered to them, because they were in love.
Angus is their oldest child but is far from their only one. As seems to be the trend with people in the lower class of society, Rosheen and Donchad had many, many children. 11 in total, Angus has 5 brothers and 5 sisters, and they are as follows, in terms of birth order: Fintan, a year younger than Angus, Lugh, two years younger than Angus, Étaín Lynch, three years younger than Angus, Brigid Lynch, four years younger than Angus, Sabia Lynch, five years younger than Angus, the twins Arawn and Brennus Lynch, six years younger than Angus, Doireann Lynch, seven years younger than Angus, Finn Lynch, eight years than Angus and finally, Angharad Lynch, nine years younger than Angus.
Growing up in the castle as a servant boy was not the ideal sort of life Angus wanted for himself, but he had to make do. When he turned 12 years old, he became a squire for one of the castle guards. At Angus’ prodding and request, the guard, who was a sorcerer, agreed to teach Angus how to wield a sword and shield. Luckily for Angus, the boy was a natural and took to it like a fish to water. It took around six years, but finally, Angus was an equal to the guard in terms of swordsmanship, if not better. Angus’ skill caught the attention of the guard captain, who offered Angus a spot on the guard, which he eagerly took.
Things continued as they were until Angus was 23 years o when things took a drastic turn. One of the senior sorcerers in the kingdom saw Angus’ skill and knew he was going places, so, because the sorcerer was greedy and ambitious, he wanted Angus under his control, so, he made plans to abduct Angus and turn him into a werewolf.
The sorcerer, who was named Varnava Petrov, paid the captain of the guard a sufficient amount of money to have him come up behind Angus, knock him out, tie him up and drag him out to a waiting carriage where Varnava would be waiting. The plan went off without a hitch, the guard captain rapping Angus over the head with his fist, knocking the young man out cold, tied him up and dragged him out to the carriage where Varnava took Angus back to his own home out in the countryside.
Angus woke up in a circle surrounded by candles, tied up, with Varnava dripping bright red blood down onto him. Angus was unable to call out for help as he was gagged and bound, so there was nothing he could do to stop Varnava. He finished dripping the vial of blood onto Angus, and as he was already covered in werewolf fur, all that was left was the blood of an innocent. Because Varnava wasn’t thinking clearly, he grabbed the youngest and most innocent person he could find - who happened to be Angus’ youngest brother, Angharad, who was only 14 years old. There was absolutely nothing he could do to stop Varnava, who slit Angharad’s throat spilling his blood and covering Angus in it. Angus could do nothing to stop it as Varnava started his incantations, which sent coursing pain through Angus’ body, making him writhe in pain on the floor as Varnava worked his dark magic, turning Angus into a monster.
When Angus awoke, the deed was already done. Varnava had turned him into a werewolf, a servant at the beck and call of the sorcerer. Varnava brought Angus back to the castle, where Angus continued his work as a guard, unable to fight back against Varnava, who had to answer to him. However… that didn’t mean that Angus couldn’t plot his master’s death. Angus hated his master and wanted revenge for the death of Angharad and the same went for his family. Especially Étaín, who was very close with Angharad growing up, and she promised to do anything necessary to help Angus take his revenge against the evil sorcerer.
Together, they hatched a plan to kill Angus’ master, and it was a very simple plan. Varnava was a horny old man, and a pervert, very much enjoying the company of younger women. Étaín seduced Varnava one night, coaxing him back to her chamber where she offered him a glass of wine before they had sex, which Varnava gladly accepted. However, what the old man was not aware of was that Étaín poisoned the wine, and it was a very fast acting poison, no sooner than did the wine touch his lips did Varnava start twitching, seizing and gasping for air on Étaín’s bed. Angus’ sister did nothing but watch him die, slowly and painfully, the whole process taking over an hour.
When Varnava was finally dead, Angus could feel it. He hadn’t even answered to the sorcerer for more than a month before the sorcerer was dead. Angus and Étaín worked together to take the old pervert’s body out to the forest where Angus shot the body up with arrows to make it look like bandits had killed Varnava. Their ploy worked, no one suspected them of anything and the pair agreed to never breathe a word of what they did, to anyone, ever.
Angus went back to work as a guard and with his newfound powers as a werewolf, he had not only gained respect but became a much more powerful warrior. It didn’t take very long before Angus was offered spot as a lieutenant in the Altherian military, and a promotion to the middle class. The promotions kept coming, until Angus was 29 years old and was offered one final promotion. The commander of the Altherian military, the number one, the head honcho and a promotion to the high class. Angus graciously accepted the promotion and has been working that job as a loyal Altherian ever since.
