Yonas was a lycanthrope and former Chief of Wolfhold before his execution in X732.

## Description

#### **Appearance**

Yonas was a middle aged man with dark, greying shoulder length hair and a matching beard.

#### **Personality**

Yonas was said to be a wise and earthy man who had a deep appreciation and love of nature. As the Chief of Wolfhold, he showed strong leadership and devotion to his clan. Wolfhold in return adored him, so much so that his execution sparked the Grand Wild Rift, tearing apart the longstanding friendship between Wolfhold and the Order of Plynboar.

## Biography

Yonas was a direct descendant of Petoa, the first recorded Chief of the Runewalker Clan.

In X732, Yonas allegedly went on a rampage in the Grand Wilds after he was spotted transforming and losing control under a full moon. During his outburst, Yonas killed 12 people including members of the Order of Plynboar and civilians travelling along the Liberty Passage. His victims included Aubrey Amberwood, Tommy Vasco and Vanora Reson. Under pressure from King Camus of Nexus, Byron Amberwood ordered Yonas' execution and banned the Lycans of Wolfhold from entering the Grand Wilds of Plynboar.

It was later discovered by the Twilight Crusaders that Yonas was innocent. After entering the Grand Wilds as normal, Yonas had his memories eaten by an Elder Oblex, he returned to Wolfhold none the wiser. The Oblex, had noticed the strong, centuries old bond between the Order and Wolfhold, both of which controlled the Grand Wilds. Wishing to turn the Grand Wilds into their personal hunting grounds, they decided to pit the two groups against one another in the hopes they would destroy each other, leaving the forest for the taking. They initiated their plan by transforming into Yonas and went on a killing spree, for which the real Yonas was executed for. As expected this resulted in the complete breakdown of the relationship between the Order of Plynboar and Wolfhold.

For five years, the Elder Oblex was able to feed in peace but still hadn't been able to assume control of the Grand Wilds for themself. With the hopes of reigniting the feud, the Elder Oblex attacked Vi Vasco in the Grand Wilds while transformed into Yonas' wolf form. His plan worked as Vi went back to Byron Amberwood stating that Yonas was still alive, or at the very least, one of the Lycans of Wolfhold had broke the law and entered the Grand Wilds. Unable to investigate Wolfhold themselves, Byron enlisted the help of the Twilight Crusaders. Through their investigation they ultimately came face to face with the fake Yonas, who incited his daughter Desta to take revenge by killing the Order and the Twilight Crusaders. After Desta refused, the Elder Oblex attempted to cut off her arm, revealing it's true form.

Once the Elder Oblex was defeated, the Twilight Crusaders, Vi Vasco and Desta returned to the Order, explaining what had happened. With the truth revealed, Byron agreed to end the law forbidding the Lycans of Wolfhold from entering the Grand Wilds, thus beginning the healing process of their once strong bond.
